I guess I'm about the only one who cares about the Fright Features 2021 line, the Kenner-esque figures that are the cheaper, less articulated, cartoonier alternative to the Plasma Series, but here's some pictures:
First, the original Ghostbusters:
I put some little rubber bands on the proton throwers to get them to aim them a little more like the old figures; the FF21 proton packs are a lot more accurate than the old RGB figure ones, but with no wrist or elbow articulation, getting them to "aim" naturally is impossible.
While we're at it, how do they compare to the RGB repops Hasbro did in 2020?
"Wow! This is like an old issue of Justice League of America!!!"
One big difference--the four FF21 figures all have the exact same bodies. RGB Ray is a noticable bit shorter than FF21 Ray.
"Honestly? This isn't even on the top ten weirdest things that've happened to me in this job"
One other thing the RGB Series 1 and the FF21 proton packs have in common: they work better with the neutrona wands mounted upside down. You have to with the RGB figures (unless you cut the beams off) while the rubbery stuff the 21 packs are made out of is too stiff to really want to bend the "right" way.
'You still don't look anything like me."
"Wait what?! You had a child with someone who wasn't Janine?!"
Egon's the only one who's about the same height.
The 86, 20, and 21 proton packs are basically not compatible. The 20 figures have the smallest peg holes, followed by the 21s, with the 86 being the biggest...which actually means that with a little ingenuity, say one of those tiny rubber bands I mentioned earlier...
Now we almost have Ectozone Egon!!!
Anyway, as my last post mentioned the Afterlife kids are starting to appear, so here they are:
I think it's hilarious how Trevor's ghost looks kind of like an ugly Chikorita.
Podcast gets a smaller version of the Bug Eye Ghost.
Lucky Domingo.
And Phoebe and Muncher.
Group shot.
Hey look! A Phoebe and Egon that didn't cost $100!!!
So I had to have a little fun with my photoshop program:
The exciting and tear-jerking conclusion of Ghostbusters: Afterlife
"Wait...you're my subscriber?!"
As you can see, the GBA kids get different bodies in addition to more paint applications--the exception being Trevor, who appears to reuse the same body as the OGBs. Someone more daring than I am could probably take a Trevor and a Venkman, switch their legs, and make a more accurate Venkman with untucked pants that way.
