With Holtzman and Tolan being the short pack figures, it's not much of a surprise that the price on Gabler dropped. I would have expected Yates to do the same, unless she's the "Venkman toy" of the group. For those who don't remember, the short version is, Matty Collector said that the on...

I don't why people are getting excited about the classic busters though. The 30th anniversary 2 packs are the definitive versions of these characters in my opinion. For me, these releases are significant for being released to stores. Avoiding Matty Collector and ebay is a fantastic thing. The figur...

I got that, Capt, I just couldn't remember if Crypto had already taken the amount for the pledge (not including postage). I don't currently have online banking, so didn't have a way to check online if they'd taken the pledge part of the payment, though I guess they must've by now. I don't have onli...

Your initial pledge goes right on your credit card when you make the pledge. During the Pledge Manager, you can switch or add / purchase more items, but you cannot reduce your initial pledge amount. If you signed up for the $1.00 pledge, you can add whatever amount you wish to get what you want, bu...

I don't think that's the issue, it's something about the sizing, or the angle (it's most notable with McKinnon's figure's legs). Maybe the lowest part is just positioned at an unnatural angle. I believe it's a combination of what goldenhawk said and the height of the boots. The boots are at an awkw...

They are made from the same material as the other pawns. The details should have been cut a bit deeper on the Paintables.
