Shes TBA
Rookie comes out in April...
My guess is they will release her in August
and the final (unknown) figure in December....

Looking pretty snazzy, just a shame she doesn't have any real articulation.
Did they have the Rookie figure there in colour, or was it still just "primer finish"?

Terrible looking face sculpt.
I do like the standing up legs that have been added though.

SOLD! No doubt in my mind, I think like the others, once it's in our hands, it will feel that much better about how it looks, maybe its the lack of sigourney jawbones or something with the eyes, I don't care, love it anyway! First female figure!
I'm actually kinda glad about the lack of articulation, I guess they did it to keep the smooth leg look...
EDIT: Eh the arms thing kinda stinks just saw but I'll live...

Can't wait for these to come out, though I'm gonna end up just spending extra and getting them on ebay, so tired of mattycollector's bullshit :-/ Last 3 out of 4 orders I placed had problems, including 2 with damaged figures. They have absolutely no respect for their customers. Their outsourced support is clueless(some of which actually have no knowledge of the product lines), and their shipping practices are the worst of any business I've dealt with in 12 years of buying online lol

Anyone else thinking that a Ray head swap might be in order for the Rookie? I mean he has all the things that Ray is lacking, the goggles, the gloves, the trap on the belt, Might have to pick up 2 of him. I'm digging the Zuul figure, but it's weird that theres minimal articulation to it. you think that the upper body would have articulation and the standing legs would as well. Oh well. I hope the December release is Janine. she'd be the last piece of the puzzle if the line goes under.

Adam_Fozz I hope they continue the line, after all there are still a few figures I hope they would consider doing: in no particular order: Janine (Both GB & GBII ) Courtroom Ray, and Egon (still need the other Scoleri brother) The Terror Dogs How about a GBII Dana with Oscar Birthday Party GBII Ray and Winston Gozer Janosz Poha and even if it's a reach, a Jack Hardemeyer and The Mayor (they did give us a peck figure)

The second... that'd just be a bit of a waste of a release, as they'd be identical (aside from Winston's head, and the clear hoses) to their Ghostbusters release.

I 'll pass on Dana as I already own the Minimate version and I am not really interested in her action figure. The Rookie looks pretty good, I think I will pick him and use him as custom fodder as I have thinking about customizing my Ray, Egon and Winston action figures. It still puzzles me why out of the four Ghostbusters, Peter is the only action figure to wear gloves in both releases(Slimed and Clean).
I hope whatever Mattel has picked for the forth action figure in the 2012 line up, it is a figure that the fan community has wanted for some time like a Courtroom Ray or Egon, the Terror Dogs, or Gozer.

I'll be getting this one. I don't think the likeness is that far off, at least when you compare some of the other figures and their actor counterparts. This will go well with the Vinz Clortho and/or MM Ray.

I see no likeness in this one which is a shame. Great to see Dana being made though.
