Decent news for GB fans too. They're doing a TRU 4 pack of the GB2 outfits and they come with Santa hats and a Slimer who has his own Santa hat too. They're also doing a GB Club for the 6 figures + the Club exclusive next year too. Guess the first two figures of next year plus the exclusive get announced on the 23rd.

I've been waiting for them to do a Ghostbusters 4-pack... I think I'd prefer a first-movie look, but repainting them would be fun and easy. I'd rather do that than wait around for a first-movie 4-pack that might not happen.

Probably with the release of unslimed Egon and Peter.

so for 20 bucks they will automatically send you 7 figures, billing you another 20 bucks each time, and they aren't telling you what figures you'll get before you sign up. this is like those book club scams they try to push on elementary school students

Yeah, that's terrible. Have any of the Ghostbusters thus far sold out in under 5 minutes like the MOTU stuff? It seems like you're just paying them an extra $20 just for the right to spend another $20 on some exclusive thing (which will probably just end up being something like a slimed Winston but in the pink goop from GB2).

Every single ounce of the way Matty Collector has been designed, from their idiotic queueing system to their stupid loving smugass mascot has seemingly been engineered to induce the maximum amount of rage in humans. I see no other reason for their existence other than as a twisted sociological/economic experiment.

The reason the MOTU stuff sells out that fast is Mattel assumed that the majority of people who wanted those figures, bought the subscription, so they put way less on the page as extras for the people who didn't. 12" Peter Venkman sold out in a day, 6" Peter sold out in under 12 hours. They're announcing the first two figures of the 2011 line and the club exclusive on the 23rd at SDCC so you can see then what those figures are and decide if the line is going to suck. If its 3 repaints or some poo poo then yeah, I bet they're not going to see a lot of subs.

They've said they'll announce each figure 2-3 months before it goes on sale. So, great. If it's a figure you wouldn't want to buy, you have 2-3 months of knowledge knowing you're ponying up for it regardless. As Fish of Doom says, the GB stuff doesn't sell out nearly as fast as the MOTU figures. So as long as you go at some point on the day of sale, you'll get one. v  v

It's still a rip because the GB stuff sells out in days so you have ample time to get it. They just want to lock people in so they can pawn off a slimed Winston and Ray on you without anything you can do at the end of the year. Par for the course with Matty ... such as the cash grab they did by doing the slimed Peter first knowing they could double dip because everyone wanted to complete the team, but they will all order another without slime once they offer it because that was the one everyone really wanted.

Heh, they didn't get me with their clearly over-slimed Peter. Slimed Egon was alright because he's not all that slimed, it just looks like work-wear. What does bother me is that the club-exclusive is going to be something really worth getting. Maybe Vigo? Louis in GB outfit?

Yep didn't get me either. I know they will eventually get to a normal Peter and I can wait. At $30 a figure I will be as picky as needed.

I like my Blackest Night figures, the articulation is fine. Kal-L has actually got some really great work done in making his hand sculpts work with the wrist joint -- it's pretty much impossible to not get him in a ghoulish beckoning pose.

Ok Hasbro may have redeemed themselves. Iron Man Legends 6 inch line, 16 inch classic Sentinels, more Gigantic Battles packs with Bill Foster and a Ice Giant and most importantly they say they are "bringing Legends back in a big way in 2012".
