I would imagine the non-diorama action figures will likely end up for sale online, or at comic book stores. I would like to get the non-diorama versions of Peter and Egon, for some customs since DST has no plans for action figures of Peter & Egon in their standard GB2 uniforms.

Thoughts?
Got me thinking, the Matty lab coats and courtrooms figures are all the same minus paint and the rubber coats. If you don't mind painting, the Peck body would work.. the 7" gotham jim Gordon looks like it could pass for Ray and venkam. Plus you'll be getting a extra head with Slimeblower ray. I'll wait till after comic Con. Id hate to cut up a bunch of figures just for DST to announce courtroom exclusives like the marshmallow figures

Has anyone modded these figures to look like themselves? If the "Geared-up Louis" figure had a beard, he'd look a lot like me. Well, he'd look like me wearing earmuffs. I was thinking of picking another one up and experimenting by painting a new name on his chest and adding a beard. Does anyone have any experience with this that could offer some tips?

LED tape is very easy to find in Canada. Go to any reputable electronics place. For my own use I prefer the high density / double density type (just look for the kind with 3 LED's per inch) as it gives the best light coverage in my opinion. But like all things google and youtube are your friends when it comes to learning about these things.

Wade Haddock put a different action figure head-- from a wrestling line I think?-- onto a DST Ray Stantz figure, and it looks AMAZINGLY like Wade.

Hopefully he'll see this and post it.

Here's the "Me" figure I made. The head came from a figure of the Wrestler The Miz.

Ha! Wow that's pretty great. I'm thinking of taking Peck's head and putting it on a Ray figure. I have a similar hair style and beard/mustache, I can just paint that to match my hair color.

Did you replace the whole head/neck or did you just pop the head off and glue it down to the existing neck?

No gluing needed. Ran hot water over the heads to soften them, pop them off, put the Wrestler head on the Ghostbusters ball joint and voilà.

Hey guys!

We are going to have Zach Oat from Diamond Select on our podcast (http://www.actionfeatures.net/) again in 2 weeks to discuss the Real Ghostbusters line... I have a set of questions ready to go, but if there is anything you guys would like me to ask about the RGB line in particular, post them here and I will do my best to squeeze them in.

Thanks!

Can you ask what their plans are for the figures that don’t come with the display pieces? The special clear variant of the Terror Dog as well. Since Toys R Us is closing up shop, are there any other stores that could possibly take over the line?

Yep! Already planned on asking this one as I am super curious myself. :)

The real question is where the heck is marshmallow mesh Egon?

As for RGB, are there any exclusives in the works for the last two series, such as Citizen Ghost Variants

Very happy with my Amazon purchase today! EGON SPENGLER (GHOSTBUSTERS 2) Diamond Select Variant finally came in the post! Standing proudly next to the original. Just one more Egon to collect! Roll on this summer! :sigh:

(By the way... my apologies if this has already been mentioned before but shouldn't the ghost trap that comes with the GB 2 like have two grey plates rather than the original red plates?!)

It should. I suspect Diamond decided it was such a small change that it wasn't worth implementing.

I'm happy that they all now come with traps instead of just Winston. Nothing a black and silver sharpie can't fix. Not that I don't have my complaints, but Expectations should meet the price point. If they were $50 each I'd would expect not only the colors to be right but the gb2 trap to be a different mold

So? Who cares? Get out some paint if it's an issue.
It wasn't an issue dude, just wanted to point out something I thought was intriguing. :sigh:
