So wait-where can we get these?

[Kingpin]

From Crooked Dice's Website (note: Only the four Paranormal Exterminators and a spru of equipment are currently available).

[Spengler02]

Ok. Thanks, Kingpin.

[CaptCyan]

Just received my "Harbingers" from Crooked dice.

Here is Vinz...



...and Zuulie! She's French, you know.



On eBay I purchased a Church for somebody to step on.

[Spengler02]

I wonder if they make a Mango mini-figure-whatever...

[CaptCyan]

What's a Mango? Besides being a Fruit or a Crayola Crayon color.

[Spengler02]

One of Chris Kattan's crazy Saturday Night Live characters. (On the right)

[joeghostbuster]

more importantly, why would anyone need a mini Mango figure... unless you already have a mini Garth Brooks figure...

[Spengler02]

It would be good for my SNL collection. In which case, a mini Mr Peepers figure would cool too...

[Kingpin]

What does any of that have to do with a set of 28mm Ghostbusters figures?

[Spengler02]

Yeah that really got off topic. Sorry.

[CaptCyan]

Bringing it back on topic...I got my 2 new "Paranormal Investigators" today. The Sculptings, like the others, are very crisp with hardly any flash lines.

First up is Louis in GB Garb, complete with Ear Muffs.





They did a very nice job on the Real Ghostbusters PKE and Sniffer that he's using.



Ray is next with his "Sludge Thrower". I'll have to give him a cigar to chew on.





I just goobered the Tanks on his back with some putty so I could get the pics. I'll paint them both before I put them together.

[CaptCyan]

2nd run figures are prepped and ready for painting.



I wanted to continue using Kenner/Real Ghostbusters colors for their Equipment as it is modeled after the same, however, the Slime Blower is Movie based. Here it is, Dry Brushed with Silver so you can see the details better.



I was thinking about using Purple for the main Tank like the Kenner Pack but decided to stay with the traditional color palette.



Here's Ray again, sporting a fully painted Blower Pack stuck on with Putty. He's a little tipsy as he is not glued into the Stand.





No, I didn't paint the Caution Stripes. They're a Decal I had left over and yes, the Pack Lights will Glow under Black Light.





Here's a tease for Joeghostbuster. That's his RetroEcto in the pic. Almost done.

[joeghostbuster]

fan-fricking-tastic!!!

[CaptCyan]

Small update. Painting is a little more than halfway done.

[joeghostbuster]

YES!!

btw, if anyone is curious, I asked Capn to turn "Ripley" into a female 'buster instead. thinking she might look good with black hair, so she doesnt look so much like Dana/Zuul... what say you, Cap ?

[CaptCyan]

I say she still has Dark Brown Hair, only because I didn't read your post until I posted this. I don't think she needs Black Hair as Zuul will have Light Brown Highlights and will look different enough.

Here's the 2nd wave of 'Busters and there's Ripley, believe it or not, sporting her Proton Pack and Neutron Slime Blaster. The Ecto's all polished up and ready to go.



A better shot of the Pack. Right now she's bare handin' it, but she will have gloves when I'm done painting.

[joeghostbuster]

fan-fricking-tastic

[CaptCyan]

Thanks for the big Crunch!

[CaptCyan]

Filled in the Bases and just need a bit of touch up before I ship these out.



Thought I'd make a crowd scene with both sets.

[joeghostbuster]

does the retro ecto fit inside the door of your firehouse?

[CaptCyan]

does the retro ecto fit inside the door of your firehouse?

With 1/16th of an inch to spare!

[CaptCyan]

Joe's Retro-Ecto and Figures are packed up and ready to go.

While I was in a painting frenzy, I started to detail my Hallmark Ecto by Blackening the Grill Work and making the Turn Signals Yellow. Something I failed to notice and has most likely been brought up already, is that it has the wrong Plate on it, I'll have to make a new one.

I've also upgraded Janine's Pack by giving her some Extra- Padded Straps for it and painted her Socks.

[CaptCyan]

Two great minds without a single thought.

Looks like Crooked Dice are doing their own version of Janine. I think her Hair needs to "Rooster" a bit more, otherwise I like it.



These are coming out in June, looks like I'll be going "Back To The Future".

[CaptCyan]

Just for fun, A different set of "Ghostbusters".

[joeghostbuster]

I wish you lived nearby Capt, we would hang out all the time

[CaptCyan]

And get into loads of trouble I'm sure.

Ray, tell Joe Franklin that Elvis is alive and doing well.

[Bloodvayne]

Haha nice man!

From Crooked Dice:

"Janey, Paranormal Exterminator

Janey took the job with the Paranormal Exterminators as their secretary, but lately she wanted in one some “field work”. After exhaustive training and several near-fatal accidents, she’s ready to go! Janey is equipped in full PX gear, and is a great addition to their numbers."



I purchased mine today.
