---

The Ghostbusters 2 Winston Zeddemore figure is now on sale from MattyCollector.com. This figure is the first to feature a Slime Blower from Ghostbusters 2 and is one of the best figures Mattel has created to date. This figure was initially delayed from release when Mattel decided to retool the redesign. The result is a figure with a new sculpted body section that really catches all the details. No pack-in ghost, but this figure does include a very cool Tripod Ghost Trap.

Need to calm some feisty phantoms? It’s a piece of green cake if you’ve got positively charged psychomagnetheric ectoplasm and the first-ever Slime Blower from Mattel! Our 6” Winston Zeddemore figure wears film-accurate gloves and features an all-new torso sculpt. And, being a buster with the talent and the tools, he’s outfitted with a tripod trap and Slime Blower.

GOT MINE!

I logged on around 11:30 then went and added 2 Winstons at 12:15, no WSOD at all. plus Im already getting a Winston from my club Ecto sub, (one of these will go to my nephew for his birthday, the other will be getting a head transplant) and for the ones I just ordered I paid for overnight shipping - I'll probably get them before my club Ecto figure lol...

easiest order ever for me, white screen once at around noon for 5 seconds and then smooth sailing...

Ordered mine with no trouble to speak off. Can't wait for Slimeblower Ray to go on sale so Winston will have a companion piece.

I got my two, one from Club ECTO 1 and the other I bought separate. I'm gonna put the head of the 2nd figure on the 4 pack Winston figure, I have plans for the headless body.

Is it me, or does winston look like he has a fupah?

I got mine about an hour and a half after it went on sale. Smooth sailing the whole way.

I originally was going to get two, since I got an extra Ray noggin to put on one, but I only bought one. Not long ago I got a good deal on a MM Ray, so he fills the Stantz quota.

With Z on the way, I'll have MM Ray, PKE Egon, Slimed Peter, SB Winston, and Vinz. I don't think I'll get any of the other variants, but I might break down and get Peck one of these days if the price is right.

Looking forward to seeing if Matty's line for 2012 contains fewer GB variants and more characters we don't already have. If that's the case, they'll have more of my money.

okay, dont ever pay matty for overnight shipping. I ordered 2 Winstons 15 minutes after they went on sale yesterday, as of this morning I dont even have a shipping notice yet. WTF? complete waste of money! if I dont get a shipping notice by the end of the day today they are going to get a very angry phone call from me.

Sometimes they ship items before giving out the notices.

I checked my account, it still says "order in process". it's been almost 24 hours now. maybe their policy is once it finally ships from their facility, THEN it's overnight. which is retarded. when a business claims they ship overnight, it should be overnight from the day you ordered it, not whenever they get around to tossing your stuff in the box. I cant believe I was stupid enough to do it. never again.

Joni Koivisto: "Overnight shipping at Matty doesn't mean overnight from the moment of order, it means overnight from the moment shipping actually takes place, which may be hours, days, weeks after the order was made."

I got the shipping confirmation for my 2nd figure today, that's the fastest ship con I've gotten so far from them.

blasphemy.

got my shipping confirmation this morning, fastest ever! i love mattycollector.com they really know me....

Got mine this morning too. We'll see if it still takes 2 or 3 weeks like it did with Vinz.

Just got my 2 figures! Love them!!

Dang, that was fast. I wish they shipped to Ft. Worth as fast as Amarillo. Did you choose overnight shipping or something?

Just the regular UPS shipping through the sub. My figures are routed through Albuquerque to Amarillo, so they don't have to go too far out of the way thankfully.

ended up getting my Winstons today. not exactly the "overnight" I was expecting, but oh well.

With club Ecto I got my shipping confirmation a day before he went on sale. But there's a rather large pond he has to travel across so you did pretty well!

Any first impressions? Can't wait to get mine!

I got mine the other day. It's a good figure but, is anyone else have trouble getting the trap to stand? It's got like a nub sticking out the middle on the bottom. I can't see what the point of it is.

I got 2 and they both stand up fine. Mattel did a great job with the figure, I was always worried the slime tank would be too heavy and the figure would fall over but they stay up fine.

It's actually movable. Perhaps some paint is making it stick. Just give it a bit of force to pop it loose. The tripod and the trap are two separate pieces so the trap slides up and down slightly. If the nub in the center is too far down, it's just stuck.

Heat the tripod base of the trap up. What happened to mine as well as yours is they didn't pull the trap tripod fully up. So that the center was higher up, and not poking out in the middle making it impossible to stand.

My Winston figures right eye is smaller then the left and looks molded that way. Only reason I picked up on that was because of his eye brow missing center which I fixed with paint and an over use of white paint on his eye lid.

Got mine today. One thing to do to make it more movie accurate is get the one hose to come underneath his left arm rather than all from his right arm as thats how it appears in the film.

Does it look like this?



It looks to me like whatever stamps the eye details on the sclera was misaligned. It looks like some sort of mutant lazy eye on mine. I'm going to see if Matty can send out a replacement head - fixing this myself requires a fair bit more brush precision than I'm willing to risk on a figure like this.

still a bad-a** figure
