does anyone know whats going on with the Kubrick Ghostbusters figures? I know theyre only released in japan but they usually end up on ebay at some point - are they going to be released around the same time as the blu ray and videogame? more importantly, will they be ported to the US or will we have to get them some other way?

Maybe they got cancelled because Murray didn't want his likeness on an action figure.
It happened before.

Kubrick/Mini-Mate faces can't really be considered "likenesses" per se though...borderline caricatures maybe.

That's just my thoughts, I could be wrong.

You're right of course.

Still, I think that Kubrick Venkman looks pretty much like Murray. It's very well done.
He looks more like Murray than the LEGO Indy looks like Ford, anyway.

Anyway, if these will or have come out in Japan they should be Ebayable, right?

I would if I could, but apparently they don't have a contract address on their website...
They've seen us coming again

While we're on the subject, does anyone know why all Kubrick figures have them holes in their feet?

WEIRD... :p

It's where the Japanese put a small computer chip which will be activated in 2012 and all kubricks will merge into one giant robo-kubrick.

Figure bases would be my guess.

That's what I thought at first too, but the holes are on top of the feet, and apparently don't run all the way through to the soles...

Look here:

I think it's some kind of strange design choice, maybe to differentiate the Kubrick figures from LEGO ones...
You have to admit Kubricks look like some MegaBloks-esque LEGO figure rip off...
Never knew why they look that blocky. Unlike with LEGO, I don't see why they should look like that.

Still, I have to give Kubricks credit for finally giving us Ghostbusters figures based on their movie appearences.
Even if they're blocky, I'd still buy them

Probably. I know I've seen separate figure "diorama" bases for sale at various places.

I think that's Marty and Jennifer from the Back to the Future collection. They're selling them over at bttf.com

Agreed, she looks more like He-Man than Jennifer...

Problem is that -by their own choice- they're stuck with barrel-shaped heads, which doesn't look very feminine...
Plus, they've apparently chosen to give her frowning eyes. That also doesn't help

She's got good superhero scowl and jawline though

For some reason, I didn't even think of the Jennifer one like that. Nice call.

The holes in the feet are for add ons some figures have.. for instance, my creature from the black lagoon has small claw toes plugged in there.

NP at all.. I've almost lost those stupid parts a few times now.. matter of fact, last time I superglued them on!

I'm guessing that since the game was delayed, they also delayed the toy releases as well, to coincide with the anniversary and game releases. It's pretty common for toys to be delayed as much as a year.
