Hi all, not looking to start any sort of arguments or flame wars by the title of this thread, I apologise if it looks a little bit provocative but I was unsure of what else to use for the title lol!
OK basically I'd like to start this topic off by saying that I do actually like the mattel releases, when they first released Egon back in 2009(?) it felt like a lifelong dream came true. However upon reading a fair few forum posts and whatnot I have come to realise and in some cases agree with some of the more negative comments towards their line, one that springs to mind is that they all do indeed have the same body sculpt/size aside from venkmans pants not being tucked into his boots.
I pretty much have the full mattel figure collection apart from the guys with removable packs, I am still unsure if I want these based on the fact I already have the guys plus all the slimed variants/marshmallow mess Ray plus the GB2 4 pack etc.
I do love them though despite that I agree with a lot of the negative comments, I would like to hear more as I do find it genuinely interesting to read others opinions and with the DST line out now which I'm still waiting for my pre ordered wave 1 here in the U.K, I think it would be really interesting to hear more on the comparisons given that some of you guys over in the States do have them now as I can't really fairly judge on pics of the prototypes vs finished mattel figures I can play with at any given time.
Sorry for rambling on, please do feel free to jump in and throw your 2 pennies/cents worth in, I don't think there can be any wrong answers as it is all going to be opinion based, I will finish by saying that I am equally excited to get my first set of these figures with the dio pieces, given how long my fire house is taking (roughly halfway through) for my mattel figures, these certainly will save me the trouble of making one lol, much as I love the hobby it will just simply be nice to collect along with the figs. From what I have seen and read on other forums these have pros and cons to them and I would love to hear more.
Many thanks for sticking around for the long intro, pics as well as opinions would be good and interesting also
