Based on the movie line, I'd expect new head sculpts and new proton packs on the existing bodies.

Nah, they'll just change the paint on the hair and not detail the name patch lol

Hey GK!

I like your expectations, but if you look back at the whole line of Figures, you will see that there is only one head sculpt per 'Buster, save for Slimeblower Winston. As for a new Proton Pack for the figures, you might just get that, but it won't necessarily be a better Pack.

I won an Egon prototype from eBay and the Pack has the Ribbon Cable and Wires sculpted in instead of separate and glued on like the other Figures in the line.

I can totally see Mattel just painting that blue and being done with it

[Doctor Venkman]

Yeah, if they reach their unspecified pre-order goal... Seriously? Are we doing this again?

Just curious, where did you see that? I haven't seen anything that said anything about pre-orders, but that will be disappointing if that's the case.

As reported via Ghostbusters Mania and Proton Charging.

I'll be eagerly waiting to see what their Real Ghostbusters figures (assuming they're better than the retroaction range) end up being.

I was pretty happy with the movie figures, so unless they do something terrible (like reuse the movie Pack moulds) I can see myself buying them... hopefully they'll be good enough that there will be enough people to make the run happen.

My only issue with it is that it's almost guaranteed to just do the four guys. No vintage or cartoon ghosts due to the unique sculpts. I'm lucky enough to have the NECA Gozer and Terror dogs, but I would rather them suck up the cost of finishing the movies before teasing me with RGB figures.

[featofstrength]

how can anyone be excited by this "news" knowing how many times Matty has bungled the GBs line?

I would wager we never even get to see prototypes before they throw up a subscription with a goal/deadline. Then it's "Oops. Sorry! Your fault again, fans!"

!@#$ Mattel.

[ThrowingChicken]

Exactly. And when it doesn't reach it's goal we will have to put up with a bunch of "Whaaaaaaaahhh, what's wrong with you fans? You are not real fans. How could you not support this?" posts like we did with the ecto.

I think they would be more inclined to do the ghosts. But I'll reserve judgement till I see some proto types.

[Demon Vice Commander]

Ah, shucks... I was really hoping for a Matty pack to tear apart...

Still, I hope they don't botch the RGB figures; these have potential to be either really great or completely lackluster...

Matty is all about recycling sculpts as much as possible. I remember when they got the Back tot he Future license then specifically explained they wouldn't do figures because they would require unique sculpts and there were no parts to reuse...

That doesn't explain they're heman line...

[AKluthe]

That actually perfectly explains the He-Man line. Lots of recycled parts in that line. Combined with the fact that diehard MOTU fans will buy just about anything Matty slops into it...they had a similar technique with the DC figures. You release a couple new molds, offset the expenses with figures made up of mostly old parts, then hope you can convince the fanbase to buy them in one lot (out of fear they'll miss preorders on the one or two figures they actually want to buy.)

[CaptCyan]

And the He-Man line may be a precursor to what we can expect to get. Seems Mattel is really wound up on these things.
