Yes, these are pretty awesome figures. The outfits and accessories are fantastic. Only thing they really could have improved is the facial paint application.
Great review.I only got mine now from eBay...you’re spot on about the joint movements..I accidentally snapped Egons right arm..gutted!! Managed to undress him and get a half decent pose.Amazing face sculpts.
looks good. I see/think this is sold out. can't find it anywhere. Only thing I don't care for, like you said, is Winston's shade...that definitely should have done better.
Yeah, I think this has sold out at most retailers. I'm glad I preordered to secure the set. I think some people have had Winston's head sculpt repainted a lighter shade, and it makes a big difference when the details in the sculpt are brought out. But I'll probably leave it as is I think. They all look awesome together, so I'm happy enough.
very good display setup. Did you put Ray's watch on the other hand? little detail that caught my eye last time I saw the film. Just one thing, the smaller key fobs go round the back of the belt, you can see Ray hangs his goggles on it at the Gozer showdown.
Got theses on order. Should be here in a couple of weeks. Kind of scared to set them up. Looks like so many fragile parts. The tubes on the suits and especially the proton packs.
These look damn awesome, dude! I wanted to get the special pack myself, but I got fucked over at the time, by not only a broken fridge, but I also had to move to another apartment as well... Never been so pissed off before LOL! Well, I can forget about getting these now though, as the prices have probably gone throught the roof and beyond.
Finally got my 4 pack and Winston was the last to unpack and he's faulty! His boiler suit has spengler on it instead of zeddamore. Also the body underneath is white. Waited for ages for these. 😥
+Bhritman I didn't even know there was an earlier release. Retailers seemed to get their stock in batches I guess. From all the videos and pics I've seen from collectors, they all look the same to me.
Definitely Hot Toys is way ahead of the competition. I have some NBA figures by Enterbay, and have the Ghostbusters and Universal Soldier figures from Blitzway. I'd say Blitzway is better than Enterbay from the figures I have.
This whole set retailed for about USD$900. Not sure how much people are asking for it now in the aftermarket. Price may have gone up, but in some cases the value of these types of figures has dropped or stayed the same.
I think Mezco will do a better job. They look too serious. They also appear flat, like you said. I hope hot toys makes them, or Soldiers Story capitalizes on their version of the Ghostbusters, because I don't think this lives up to my standards. Especially for such a high price now.
At retail price for the set, this set was great value. The only thing I think HT would improve on would be the head paint application and stands. Everything else I think Blitzway did a great job.
Really nice and beautiful details and design. 👌👍👏

Ouch!! Snapping that arm wouldve hurt, especially if you paid high Ebay price for the set!! Did you replace the body?
Damn, those are pretty good. You're right about the paint. It's ever-so-slightly flat, but not by much. Very thorough review, man. Thanks.
Cheers, thanks for checking it out! Would be interesting to see what poses you'd come up with for these guys!

I didn't bother putting the watches on since the sleeves of the outfit cover them anyway.

You'll definitely need to be careful where you put your fingers!
So my wife keeps telling me. 👍
It’s upsetting that they didn’t put rays attachment on his belt so you can attach the trap to his belt

Yeah, prices on these are pretty insane now. Glad I secured the preorder early!

Holy shit that's terrible! Have you contacted your retailer?! Get an exchange straight away!!
Was it a knockoff? Sounds crazy.
Do you think the earlier release of these figures had a better paint job?
+Bhritman I didn't even know there was an earlier release. Retailers seemed to get their stock in batches I guess. From all the videos and pics I've seen from collectors, they all look the same to me.
I have hot toys, Enterbay, and now Blitzway figures. I rate them in this order in term of paint app, Hot toys, Enterbay then Blitzway.

Very Kool, looking for a Logan (Wolverine). Have you seen any good ones?
I'm not really into Wolverine, so haven't looked for Wolverine figures.
Soosoo toys "One Last Time"
and
"Steel Wolf" from OneSixthOutfitters
They are by far the best and some sites offer a bonus head sculpt from Eleven
How much are they I can’t believe how much pieces of my childhood cost

All I have are the cheap cheap Mattel’s these are amazing I won’t deny that so and that’s not too bad for all the stuff you got as well
They go for about $2,000 from what I see.
@@BVENTUROUSATHLETICS almost 4k now!
@@2Guys1ControllerShow crazy!!! Eh and they will probably just keep going up.

If this was GB2 Then Hell Yes! but the first movie blow's so PASS!
They don't sell this figure anymore 😢
Yes, they released more than 5 years ago and sold out quite quickly.
