Just ordered these from bigbadtoystore !
Just cancelled and will order from gbfans !

Damn Egon's suit is so blue. I thought it was teal.

Damn it is awfully dark, but still cool nonetheless.

I think these look better than the GB movie mini-mates! I wasn't going to get any more of these because i'm running out of room, what with the matty figures, but I think i'm gunna have to get these.

These must be pre production as there are no name badges and the pipe is photo shopped

if you pre order do you get charged now or when item is shipped thanks

You get charged now when ordering from GBFans. We have a set number of Minimates we are going to get, so pre-ordering is actually purchasing one of the sets.

Thanks for the reply bought them anyway !!! Thought they were due in April ?

Caster Troy what are you talking about? Name badges?

Ummm, they didn't have name badges on TRGB.

You can see the name badge "bump" on these figures that were used on the movie minimates (the square over the left pocket). They don't bother me though.

Actually they did have name badges on RGB, but they only made mention of them in curtain episodes.

Can't wait for these. I agree with Buckynohair, I think they look better than the movie-mates.

These mini-mates always impress me with how much they can get the feel of the character down on that little cylinder head! The RGB Ray is just perfect! It was the same with the film versions as well, I could look at the figures face and know exactly what scene they were referencing with that look.

These look GREAT! I hope they make as many as they did of their movie counterparts... I'm gonna get em ALL!

One thing I notice though; their equipment is movie-based. Egon's gun, from that angle, looks like it might be RGB, but eh...regardless. These Minimates are gonna be awesome!

In case anyone hasn't seen this, it looks like Art Asylum plans to make "Blacky" as well! From what I understand, he's also "transformable" like the terror dogs. Check it out:

Oh, my bad, I didn't ever remember seeing them.

Only visible in one episode Elementary, my dear Winston and on the cover of issue #2 of Now's The Real Ghostbusters Starring in Ghostbusters II.

It is, it's got a bit of visible blue, and the brown from the barrel... as well as

Anyone else notice the collars and strap positions are different on Egon and Ray?

Ray is a little fatter.

Yeah...they're using the same molds as their movies counterparts, which explains the name tags. Ray and Winston's belts are unique (Winston's is low and straight whereas Ray's dips down toward the middle), and Egon and Peter's are the same. It's actually kind of cool that they made the effort to have some differences between molds.

They also remind me of Lego people.
