Unslimed Egon and Peter come out at the end of this year, I wanna say September and November. So that'd be how to get those two. To get GB1 Ray you'll either need to ebay him, or join the Ecto-1 club for the marshmallow covered one, or wait for the inevitable slimed version. Winston you'll need to ebay probably.

Gammatron 64 posted:Are they ever gonna make a ray with the ecto-googles? Or give them ghost traps or PKE meters? Yes if you commit to buying all the figures this year you will get a Ray covered with marshmallow and he has goggles. If you buy Winston you get a trap. If you get the new Egon he has a PKE Meter. As you can see Mattel is milking collectors for these important accessories.

I think Mattel has some kind of secret plot to bankrupt all of its fans. If you're a DCUC completist, you've got something like $1200 of product to pick up in the next 12-18 months: Wave 14 - Summer ~$130 ($100 without alts) Wave 15 - September ~$130/100 Wave 16 - End of year ~$130/100 Green Lantern 5 pack ~$70 LOSH 12 pack ~$180 If we get roughly the same number of waves next year, we're looking at 4 or 5 waves at ~$130 a piece. And that doesn't even include Matty/convention exclusives, repaint two-packs, movie tie-in figures, etc. That's $1290 if you're a real completist, $1170 if you can live without alts. Madness!

Mattel are basically just sociopaths and do very little to disguise the fact that they want every single last one of your dollars.

I'm kinda bummed that the SDCC Venkman is the only one that talks. I was hoping the regular line of the Retro figures would talk too.

Just moved into a new place, but made a bit of time to put another Detolf up. Here's how it's looking right now. Pretty stoked to have a bit more display room, as well as finally having all my stuff in one place. I'm trying not to overcrowd it, but am also disgusted with how many toys I've accumulated over the last few years. I ask again: is anyone interested in older smaller figures? I'm trying to unload, and have been collecting since I was like 8. Christ.

I always assumed that this was limited to a small subset of (weird) Japanese stuff. Mostly I wanted the Hal Jordan one with swappable heads so you could also make him Abin Sur or Tomar Re. Although the idea of a Hal Jordan or Superman with squishy boobs really amuses me. I haven't seen them in person, but Catwoman and Powergirl do have enormous physically impossible mammaries larger than their heads. Though with Power Girl and knowing comic book nerds this honestly wouldn't surprise me.

Found the new GI Joe Pursuit of Cobra figures at my TRU today. They had just opened up a new case. Only one Cobra Commander and Firefly per case too. Cobra Commander's new mask looks really cool. They also had Megabloks Halo ODST metalon figures too. The helmet and armor is the perfect size for DST figures like Stargate and Battlestar Galactica, just needs a little tooling.

I found the Action League Chemo figure today. It's kind of small, but pretty awesome and has 8 points of articulation, which isn't bad for the style. On the back of the box they showed pictures of the next wave which has some awesome stuff like Deadman, Sinestro, Robin, Manbat, and Solomon Grundy. I still haven't seen the Guy pack anywhere.
