Also, the 3rd Ray is great but I don't understand the purpose of having an unzipped version without the cigarette? I get smoking is bad but these are basically for the adult market. That's all Ray and Venkman did in those scenes.

You can use the "off the clock" variant for re-enacting the jail scene, the City Hall scene, or the Firehouse blowing up scene, none of which had them smoking in them.

I don't remember him having ecto-goggles in any of those scenes either...maybe he had them tucked inside his jump next to his Joe Camels?

I know this won't go far, but if only we could get replacement arms for Smiler. This figure is an eyesore.

Just nabbed the Gamestop Slimer here in Cincinnati!

He does indeed glow in the dark.

Are the gid slimers available at gamestop now or you just get it early?

[LandoSystem]

should be rolling out now.

[Wade Haddock]

Picked one up in Athens yesterday. He's kinda cool.

[PeteVenkman_Jedi]

Are the GID Slimers' coming to EB Games (Gamestop) in Canada?

[Wade Haddock]

No idea. Not all of them in The U.S. Are getting them. I had to drive almost an hour to get mine because the one that's a half a mile from my house couldn't even order it.

Zach just posted this photo at instagram... First look at the Taxi Cab Driver Ghost!

Those look great! It also looks like they went back and amended the terror dog sculpt (which I can't be thankful enough for). It warms the heart when a toy company listens to their buying public. Also thankful that the Taxi Cab ghost isn't just a torso with a stand. Unlike those other toy guys sculpt who don't listen to their buying public.

EDIT - HA!



Awesome!

I just got the newest wave of DST 7" figures. With a few mods, these look reall great!

I removed Ray's pack, installed a small neodym magnet as an easy closure and cut off the black hose box on the back of his belt.
Janine's glasses were removed, the hairline repainted around the spots of glasses glue and she's now wearing her specs on the tip of her nose like she did most of the time in GB1.

Slimer...not much to do about the massive arms, but tightening all screws made the base/stand servicable.

Here's some pics:


Now where do I find a 1/10 or 1/12 scale desk for Janine?

I asked the same in an action figure group on FB. The Diamond Select X-files figs have a desk & chair dio. You'd have to buy them both though...

[ObiHahn]

Thanks man, that desk might work. I could do without the chair since Janine won't be able to sit anyway.

Good point!
The DS Gotham Nigma figure has one also but with a metallic/hospital type finish.

[Alex Newborn]

Does the Nigma figure come with both desk AND chair, or is the chair in the convention photo an accessory for a different Gotham figure?

AN

[Wade Haddock]

I think it's just the desk. Found this picture of it in the package.

[ShiftyHenry]

Nygma also looks like a great base for a "Ready to believe you" variant of one of the GB's...

[featofstrength]

saw a couple of Janines tonight at TRU, sans base parts of course

[DSTZach]

Diorama will be 33 1/4" wide by 18 1/4" deep by 15 5/8" tall. Sorry, thought I circulated those numbers a while back, and they have been in a couple of ads we ran in Previews and elsewhere.

The pegs on the back of the gate pieces are to hold the vinyl lenticular backdrop that will come with the Terror Dog. The one at NYCC was a production backdrop. The gate pieces should also have holes on the sides that can accomodate Slimer's support stand, as well as the Library Ghost's. I haven't seen anyone try it out, not sure people know about it. They were added after we completed the instructions, I believe.

I did not think that anything had changed on the Terror Dog, as I'm 90% sure it's the same resin prototype we showed at SDCC 2015, but I'm glad people like it, and curious what was wrong with it the first time. I remember people complaining about it having too much articulation (an odd criticism IMHO) and/or that the joints were too obvious (resin is not as tight a fit as plastic), but I don't remember there being any inaccuracies reported, per se.

[ccv66]

I really liked the neca dogs and slimer, but no articulation. I can see where joints can take away from the cosmetics, but then its starts becoming less of a toy and more of a statue.

[elsoldao7]

Is there anything planned after the diorama wave?

[Doctor Venkman]

I just noticed the other day... so let's see if someone can confirm.

I think I'm missing an obelisk. Should we have three at this point? I think I only have 2?

I'm hoping that DST Customer Service would be able to help out with a missing one, but I just noticed it... I guess because the diorama is sort of "coming together as we go" that I never realized before that I was missing one.

Can anyone confirm? Do you have 2 or 3 obelisks at this point?

[DSTZach]

You should only have two. Obelisks 3 and 4 come with the terror dog statues.

[midmanc82]

That's good news, I was worried that I'd either lost one after opening the box or it hadn't been packed by mistake lol!

I do love this line of figures, I agree with some criticisms over them just like I do with some of the Mattel ones which I also love but hey, we can't always have everything just the way we like it, I'm just happy we have a broad selection of realistic looking figures made by the two companies and the rooftop dio is absolutely fantastic!

Looking forward to wave 4 and 5, both pre ordered from forbidden planet over here in the uk

[DerGraf]

Hey guys,

Long time lurker, first time poster. I ordered the SDCC Marshmallow Venkman, which I got in the mail today. Now, being the big child I am, I immediately opened the box and tried to get him into a cool pose. BUT his right arm won't move. There seems to be no point of articulation there. On the box you can clearly see the point of articualtion. Anybody got an idea, what I can do now?

[DSTZach]

What articulation point? The elbow? Besides the shoulder and wrist, I believe that is the only one.

You can try soaking it in warm water, or putting it in the freezer for a few minutes. The paint may just be stuck.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear enough. Yes, it's the elbow. I tried warm water, I treid the freezer, both don't seem to help. But I made some photos:

[Hairy Biker]

Anybody else have issues standing these figures up? Even with figure stands they keep falling flat on their faces.
