Unfortunately I suspect they assumed the setup with the GB1 sign was identical to the GB2 sign, which was mirrored on one side.

Alternately, it might've been cheaper to produce it this way.

maybe the GB1 sign is that way so you can display either the American version or the European version :)

Seems like Ive been waiting ages for the new GB2 line. Has anyone at least seen the regular TRU versions in stores?

I have not been out to ToysRUs in a while, however I do know that the first three Ghostbusters II figures are expected to ship on January 31.

I know it's a little late for the season, now that the holidays are over, but here's a little Christmas love for DST. I decided to trick out my Gozer Temple to be more festive.

To put my mind at ease, if I collect these, there will be an ash gray Winston, yes?

If I remember right, 15 figures. All 4 gray ghostbusters, Slimeblower ray and Winston. Vigo, yanis and Tully and 6 real ghostbusters. Diamond select did say they were planning to do marshmallow Egon, they have the other three

I assume the 6 RGB figures will be Slimer, the 4 GBs, and either Janine or Samhain. Can't imagine any other ones. I'm also assuming that at some point there will be GB II figures in tan flight suits as variants with the new heads, much like the Marshmallow mess figures.

Speaking of which, anyone hear plans for the Marshmallow Egon? I've been waiting for his release to set up a display with Stay Puft.

I believe they said they would not have Janine RGB, which I would be ok with if they did. Sounds like we are getting two ghosts, not slimer.. I'd bet samhein and boogyman

Okay, great. Thanks CC for confirming all 4 Gray ghostbusters. I really did love those suits, and kinda wish they used them more.

DSTZach, I noticed the pics of the GB1 sign are incorrect in the sculpting. I dunno if it's been brought up (I posted to the Facebook page as well)... is there time to get that sign fixed, or do both signs come with Vigo?

I seen a video on Ghostbustersnews.com's YouTube channel where he reviews the figures that come with the fire house pieces and Vigo only comes with the GB 2 sign.

so looking at the gb2 logo on the firehouse in that pic, are both sides technically inaccurate to whats displayed on the ecto1a and uniform patches?

The face sculpt they did for Ray looks kinda funky, but otherwise I can see myself buying the whole set for these so long as they aren't prohibitively expensive.

I hope they still tweak the designs. I can understand reusing the previous molds, but at least clean them up..., you can see the movie version nametags...

They probably won't

I found the first GB2 wave at toys r us today. Noticed that GB2 Ray still has the hose connector on his leg. Really?! Seems as though they're just as lazy as Mattel was. Should have just kept the hose anyway if you aren't going to remove the connector.

True.
I noticed that on mine also

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels these can be improved upon. I hope these will be retooled before their release.

Right now, Ray looks like one of the Weasleys from HP, and Peter looks like an actor Toys R Us might recruit, for a 'public appearance by a Ghostbuster'.

You guys made me look, I bought the diorama Ray and it didn't have the hose or connector, but it did come out weeks after the toys r us one and my box shows him with the tube.. RGB ray looks a little funky , like to see him at another angle.. they have changed uniforms from display to the final product on several occasions, but I don't think they've changed a head sculp.. They're a long ways aways to releasing the RGB, It wasn't even on display. I'm not going to beat them up to bad on a $14 figure. I'm just thrilled to get some real ghostbusters. I'm also into the Vigo head for Slimeblower Ray

When was a Vigo head shown for Slimeblower Ray? In fact...when was Slime Blower Ray shown? I haven't seen any pics of GB stuff from Toy Fair other than the RGB stuff that got taken down.
