Toy Anxiety was given an early sample of the Mondo Peter Venkman and Sam Hain set to look at: https://youtu.be/bhUaViXxxeM?si=0rWZ2graLhPf8m7Q

Looking really good. Nice that all the swap heads seem to pop on and off easily enough. Really excited to get this in hand.

How are these being sold as 1/12 scale figures? Fucker looks 7 inches tall.

>>11442616 (OP)
Nah, I'm good

>>11442616 (OP)
>>11442679
These Mondo figures are way too expensive, they don’t even look all that great and the articulation is quite limited.

>>11442690
Same here. And I spent less than $90 for the entire Mego figures in 2012. Compare that to one of the modern two pack sets for $200.

>>11442690

>>11442616 (OP)
I don't think I've ever seen someone handle an action figure so gingerly. You can cut the paranoia with a knife. That doesn't exactly instill me with much confidence about the quality of these. I'm getting strong Super7 Ultimates vibes.

>>11442990
You'd be wrong then. That's just how Craig acts.

>>11443099
Okay Necanon.

>>11443146
You should actually watch Toy Anxiety instead of calling people names when you get mad.

>>11443099
>You'd be wrong then.
And you know this how? No one else has had them in hand. The plastic quality looks identical to Super7. I'd say same outdated knee and elbow articulation as well, but even Super7 upped their game for their 2003 Turtles.

>>11443220
You've never even touched a Mondo product before have you? Holy shit. It's nothing like Super7.

>>11443222
Which 1/12 Mondo products have you touched?

>>11443231
They're the same as their 12"

>>11443239
>1/6

Faggot doll lover

>>11442679
They said from the start they were supposed to be 6&1/2 inch, “1/12” has been creeping up in size over the years for whatever reason so can’t blame them for going on the taller side. They do look really big next to the plasma series but don’t forget how undersized those are compared to just about every other 1/12 too.

>>11443239
>They're the same as their 12"
So you're retarded then? Half the size means smaller parts, means more fragility. For every company like Mattel who can make a 6" figure which doesn't break with normal use, you have a Neca "non-durable goods". It's absurd that you're even making such a corelation in quality between two vastly different products. The only thing we have to go on is the Toy Anxiety review, and in it the figure is being handled like it's made of glass, so until proven otherwise I'm gonna assume the quality is Super7 tier.

The joint design is already miles above S7 just by not being insert molded.

>>11443461
Holy shit, you're actually retarded. None of that is true, it's like you've never touched a toy before. Let alone anything by Mondo. You go straight to trolling, what a shocker.

>>11443461
>and in it the figure is being handled like it's made of glass
It isn't actually.

>>11443461
>so until proven otherwise I'm gonna assume the quality is Super7 tier.
So you make up shit in your head and then plug your ears and stamp your feet like a child. That's pretty pathetic.

>>11442616 (OP)
Only thing that really bugs me is the elbow articulation. Was hoping for better then 90 degrees. These will likely be the best 1:12th RGB figures simply because I doubt anyone else will make any. At least that look this accurate.

>>11444011
>I doubt anyone else will make any.
Yeah, the licensor has seen to that.

>>11443942
>So you make up shit in your head and then plug your ears and stamp your feet like a child
Anon isn't doing anything of the sort. He's simply saying that they are being handled so gingerly in the review that he is assuming that they aren't the most robust figures. For someone that got upset at being called Necanon, you sure do act like him.

>>11442976
Diosoth, forget about Sinno. Tear down that shrine of hers before the cops raid your room and find it. She's probably married and has kids by now. She's not 12 anymore, she's not and has never been into you. You were going to what, fly over to the UK and kidnap her? You wanted to personally destroy her Ultra Magnus collection 'just in case' it had a custom of mine in it? You're truly insane and belong in an asylum for what you did to those cats and all the animals you caught.

>>11444316
Cool man, you're a troll. You don't care about these toys at all.

>>11444137
>got upset at being called Necanon
Something else you've made up in your head apparently.

Americans can't make toys.

They showed them off on Toy Anxiety last night some more. Even made fun of some of the trolling from crybabies. It was a good time.

>>11444507
When someone is sent a free product ahead of it's release in order to publicize said product, what do you call it?

>>11444500
Still looks shit, toy anxiety sounds like a faggot channel name too.

>>11444510
It's called an early sample, a chance to show people the toy they ordered a year ago. But that's a normal human reaction to that, and not some insane forever online chud like yourself that gets offended that we get to see the finished product.

Of course if you'd ordered it you'd know they ship this month anyway, but no, please, continue crying about "shills."

>>11444515
So a shill then? Got it.

>>11444744
You don't seem to know what words mean. How sad for you.

Why is Necanon so confrontational?

>>11444791
I’m more just confused why he’s working overtime to defend Mondo as well.

>>11444791
>>11444794
I'm more confused why you're in a Ghostbusters thread making off topic shitposts

>>11444567
Doesn't your guy make like literal kindergarten nicknames for people he doesn't like?

>>11444512
Toy Anxiety is what you feel when you buy toys from companies like NECA and Mondo.
Will a joint break when I try to move it? Will the paint chip on my $200 figure?
Will Rogue look like a tranny with down syndrome?
That's the real toy anxiety.

>>11445007
No, that's you being a dumbass troll.

>>11445137
Off topic trolling

>>11444794
That's the million dollar question.

>>11445007
I saw Rogue and took interest.
Found out Mondo has bad QC

Mondo is trying again with GB
Probably going to hear about QC problems again.

>>11445240
They really don't. If there's ever a rare problem they replace it.

>>11445240
mondo's QC could certainly be better but they will replace anything with no questions asked unlike some of these other companies like S7 that will just say 'oh theres nothing we can do'. They replaced all those rogue heads with the wonky eyes and let people keep the originals; they replaced he-man's entire body for the people who had it come unglued.

>>11445254
>>11445255
I want to live in a world where products work as intended upon release. We're letting companies get away from putting stuff out as quickly as possible and then having to deal with follow up or after-care.

>>11445255
proof?

Behold, I made THIS THING!

>>11445672
Very cool, very cool...

I can see something like this popping up in the next Ghostbusters installment.

Sadly, they'll focus more on the tech than the actual plot.

Frozen Empire tiptoed near that line when Egon's granddaughter claimed she could stop the big-bad-ghost if she copper-lined the proton pack and reversed the polarity of the neutron flow.

>>11445680
I think it's because that's the kinda goofy thing they'd do in Real Ghostbusters, and if I recall the director/writer said they were trying to make a live action RGB episode more or less. I had fun with the movie but the writing was a bit all over the place. I hobbled that thing together cause I saw a turret at dollar general when I stopped in to grab someone a graduation card. Had some old gear from figures I don't care about anymore so ta da.

>>11445007
Kys

>>11442616 (OP)
I'm really impressed with how good these look.

>>11445672
That's pretty neat actually. And seems a little extra dangerous. I could see them trying to deploy that and it goes pretty badly by destroying everything around...

>Haslab Proton Pack $399.99

Just goes to show how much they price gouge you on Haslabs. Without the tariffs this would probably be $250.

>>11448822
If I already have the originals, and I backed the Ecto-1, is there any real reason to get this

>>11448933
Possibly better colored jumpsuits. The color of the originals is super bright and awful. This is a render though, so hard to say what the final product will look like. Though if this color is accurate to how the final product will look, they might have gone too far in the opposite direction and made them too dark.

>>11448926
I'm just happy I was able to sell my pack last year.

>>11448828
Do you think for $299 it has 4 working cyclotron lights or only 3?

>>11448964
Fuck off shithead spammer

>>11448964
kek this shit was funny

>>11448964
They’re all working…. It’s probably just the angle at which you’re looking at them.

>>11448964
It's a Hasbro product, so they all work, but only for 30 seconds at a time, and only if you don't also try to shoot the wand.

>>11448828
Did they fix the stupid auto shutoff?

>>11448964
I have the Haslab pack and all the lights run fine even after modding it with a stay on kit and rechargeable battery.

>>11449029
Yeah the listing says it has a usb-c power option to leave it on and be powered when the wand is cycled.

>>11449029
Maybe sort of-ish? Now it has a USB-C port that will override it, so I imagine it wouldn't be difficult to connect a talentcell to that USB port to override the auto shutdown. The only thing I question is if the voltage of that USB port is sufficient for full use. An unmodded Afterlife pack is extremely fickle about the voltage it gets and often shuts down when fully powering up the wand because it can't handle all the power draw from the rumbling wand. Perhaps this is something they also fixed, but it's Hasbro so...

>>11448964
You are so pathetic.

>>11448847
>>11448848
The Ecto-Glow stuff was so near to the end of the line that I had kind of fallen off of the toys at that point as a kid, but did they actually have an Ecto-Glow Ecto 1 in the vintage line? Or was it created just for this newer retro line? Either way, that's pretty cool. I might have to get it too, since I definitely want the figures.

>>11449158
Created for this new re-release set of figures.

Also MORE Ecto-Glow figure releases this Fall and 2026. Looks like maybe a glow in the dark Green Ghost and Stay Puft, Louis, and the Ecto Glow Chopper

>>11448848
>>11449162
>ecto glow shit that wasn't present in the original line
>no ecto glow Janine
How much longer must us Janinefags suffer before they throw us a damn bone? She didn't get a Fright Features reissue, no 84 Plasma Series figure, no GB2 Plasma Series figure included with the Ecto-1, nothing for Frozen Empire where she actually suits up.

>>11448822
This is such a lazy cashgrab 4-pack. Four figures we already got, in the decos they should have had in the first place, with accessories we already got. The only effort spent was giving them new, worse heads than the originals. They could have included an extra PKE meter with the wings down to hang from Egon's belt. They could have included the other device Egon used on the roof, which is the specific scene this set is supposed to represent. They could have included a second, open trap, with capture field effect. They could have included a new ghost or Janine to increase it's appeal to people who already had the originals. But no... just the same shit with a new coat of paint.

How do these companies keep getting Bill Murray's face so wrong? I don't know who that guy is, but it's not Bill.

>>11449288
I mean the whole point was to get the original movie main 4 back out there for the Ecto-1. If you already have them, don’t buy them.

>>11449331
Maybe they couldn't get the rights to his license this time so they went with this? Most likely it's just a shitty sculpt though.

>>11449403
They have the rights. That's not the issue.

The sculptor in the video, ironically, even says that "Murray's hard to do."

I will admit the physical copies look a bit better, but not a ton.

>>11449486
I will say the Ray does look damn near perfect though.

>>11449403
People always say this when a likeness is bad, this is what you get when you don't have likeness rights. You can't do anything even remotely passable or it opens you up to a legal ass raping.

Happy Ghostbusters Day everyone!

>>11449371
I get that, but there's nothing to suggest the Plasma Series isn't dead beyond the Ecto, so it would have been nice if they could have used this set as an opportunity to give us a more complete collection. It's crazy that with everything they're released there's no open trap with capture beam effect. Mattel gave us that with their third figure. I guess it's not as big a deal if you have the Mattel stuff, but looking at this line as it's own thing, it's a pretty major display piece to not have.

Also the lack of Janine despite being such a prominent character is stupid. She's in all 4 movies, the 2009 video game, and the entirety of both animated series, and Hasbro hasn't made a single figure of her from either the movies or RGB retro line. They could've thrown her in here and sold double the sets.

Mondo's Winston and Sandman should be going up this week.

>>11442679
6.5

>>11449738
We will not be buying.

>>11449784
Yes you will. The RGB figures have been selling crazy well for them. The first pre-order saw a near 50% increase in new customers to the site.

>>11449763
Still not 1:12. The Ghostbusters weren't 6'5".

>>11449784
I will be. Well, the solo Winston as I don't care about Sandman enough to get the 2 pack. Still a cool villain and always liked Winston's idea on catching him.

Here's your $101 hip articulation.

>>11449808
Why do the ghostbusters need any more than that? They’re not superheroes

>>11449818
>spreading your legs more than 30 degrees is superhero tier flexibility

>>11449820
Show me a picture from either the movies or the show where they spread their legs farther than that. I’ll wait.

>>11449808
You're such a whiny bitch. That's more than enough for RGB stuff.

>>11449784
speak for yourself, I'm in for all of these 2 packs & janine

>>11449823
This is 20 seconds into the intro.

Most toylines have better range than that. I don't know what garbage you've been buying.

>>11449927
Keep coping.

>>11449954
Gosh I don't remember the Ghostbusters doing Power Rangers moves. I guess you'll have to troll somewhere else.

>>11449951
I'd rather the toys look like the cartoon and not break up the sculpt for retards wanting to pose Ghostbusters spreading their ass cheeks, thanks.

>>11449971
I'd prefer my Ghostbusters to be able to hold their Neutrona Wands properly.

>>11449979
And they do

>>11449985
In one, neutral pose.
Just what people want from their ACTION figures.

>>11449989
Ah right, because you're going to do something totally different? Please show us all your Ghostbusters and how they're posed.

>>11449990
>you're going to do something totally different?
Like aiming them? Yeah. If they could.

these aren't perfect but we're never going to get anything better so I accept them for what they are

>>11450009
They can aim them just fine.

>>11450015
Prove it.

>>11450018
Watch the videos dipshit

>>11450046
>prove my claims for me
No, the onus is on you.

you guys really need to do this shit every thread huh

>>11450055
You really are an idiot.

>>11450013
This is my take too. I wanted better elbow articulation the most. Do they have a ball joint at their hip? Either way unless Hasbro decides to do RGB Plasma series figures, these are the best we'll ever get I wager.

Busting makes me feel good everyone.

>>11450015
>They can aim them just fine.
Can they point their wands straight like Egon and Ray? That's a rhetorical question, the answser is no.

>>11450163
Not that I'm defending Mondo but can any action figure do that?

>>11450145
>unless Hasbro decides to do RGB Plasma series figures, these are the best we'll ever get I wager
I would honestly laugh my ass off if after all the Mondo figures have gone up for preorder, Hasbro reveals 6 inch RGB figures.

>>11450215
I'd be annoyed but fuck it, I'd get them too. What if they were as tall as the Kenner line but with modern articulation? It'd let them throw in more accessories like traps and such, and they'd be able to fit into the Kenner Ecto-1. As long as they looked more like the toon than the Kenner line I'd be happy.

>>11450215
The strength of Mondo's line is pretty much exclusively placed upon them actually doing the ghosts from the show. Even though the RGB figures have rarely been done, they technically DO exist out there in at least a few capacities, but fucking no one ever releases ghosts in these lines. Usually, you get lucky if any of the lines include Gozer, the terror dogs, Slimer and/or maybe Stay-Puft.

The Mondo figures are probably the first time they've done something interesting with the ghosts since probably the vintage Kenner line. No way Hasbro would ever do any of the ghosts, even if they did do the four RGBs from the cartoon.

>>11450237
>actually doing the ghosts
aren't these less articulated than the Ghostbusters?

>>11450272
Probably, just by design of the ghosts (except maybe Boogeyman), but my point is that for the last 30+ years the running total on ghosts in Ghostbusters lines is basically nothing.

Even the vintage line didn't really do many (if any) ghosts from the actual cartoon.

>>11450215
Knowing how cheap and lazy hasbro is even if they somehow made RGB they would probably just sculpt new heads and put them on the movie bodies. And even if they did actually put effort in for once they’d still be $20 retail toys so while being more articulated they’d still look way worse than these. I really don’t see us ever getting anything better than these overall unless some chinese company makes unlicensed ones.

>>11450163
No reason they couldn't

>>11450163
You sure like whining about toys you can't afford

>>11450410
>No reason they couldn't
They don't have double elbows.

>>11450751
They don't need them

>>11450751

?

>>11450773
Show me that pose then with a single elbow figure.

>>11450826

>>11450853
You first troll

>>11449808
Looks just fine

>>11450163
Yes. You're trying to make up really stupid reasons to bitch about these figures that are already getting high praise because you're asshole is broken.

>>11450163
This was my best attempt with the Diamond Select RGB Egon. Their arms also only get 90 degrees. It's why I was hoping these mondo ones would have better elbow range. I wouldn't even have minded if the arms had single joints and they just molded the jumpsuits to look bunched up or something to hide the extra range. Though this DS has a chest piece that turns which may be helping get this far.

>>11450914
The mondo can do better than that even

>>11450918
I assume so but I won't know until he arrives. Speaking of I forgot to mention when I posted the DS Egon there that I got an email saying Peter and Sam Hain won't ship until August now. Ports are probably still fucked because of the tantrums.

>>11450921
>tantrums

Isn't Mondo struggling with the tariffs?

>>11450946
Everyone is, what's your point?

>>11450948

Not where I live. And last time I checked China didn't impose tariffs upon itself.

>>11450964
I'd rather just hold the retard accountable for his retarded failings.

>>11450955
the only reason those were easy to find on aliexpress is because premium dna was a scam company and they were incapable of paying their debts, i don't think funko has this problem

>>11450955
No...why would they? That's a totally different situation.

>>11450946
Their nightcrawler sold out very slowly compared to previous x-men figures and their classic beast-man is still up for preorder. I'd say yes, they are definitely losing sales over the tariffs. I'm hoping they at least try to keep the free shipping on the other ghostbusters figures as paying $30 for tariffs $30 for shipping is a huge chunk of money to add to already expensive toys.

Why do toy companies seem to pretend that the 2016 Ghostbusters film just doesn’t exist? I’d buy the characters in figure form to have a complete display.

>>11452097
The Mondo figures can do that too

It’s fine you want to hate these figures but you don’t need to manufacture reasons for it

>>11452143
The exact response I expected from the necanon.

>>11452228
Yes, you can really tell the degree of which the elbows are bent in a cartoon drawn from straight on. Try holding a stick above your waist with both hands, pointed straight, without your rear arm bent more than 90 degrees dumbfuck. This is basic human anatomy we're talking about.

>>11452097

Is this your whole day

>>11452374
Sorry, I wasn't taking into consideration that a morbidly obese individual like yourself has a very different idea of human anatomy than someone with a normal BMI. If you were capable of standing up and holding a stick you would better understand what a human body can and cannot do.

There was a Ghostbusters movie in 2016? Sure buddy. Next you'll tell me that Pacific Rim got a sequel.

>>11452397
Your shilling for figures before you've had a single one in hand is insufferable. It's not the least bit organic.

>>11452762
could genuinely say the same thing about your hatred for them, you two are made for each other

This boomer shit looks lame why is everyone fighting about it.

>>11452762
>shilling
You just use words without having any knowledge of what they mean then, huh...

>>11448926
Thank god for Spirit Halloween to make an affordable one for $90


Here's an unpopular opinion:
Let's have less releases of the GB stuff so we can enjoy what we have???
Already there's been multiple versions of the OG in the past 5 years???

>>11452987
How about no

>>11449738
So what happened with this?

Goes up tomorrow. I was hoping to get venkman before paying for another one but it’s not happening I guess.

>>11459087
Just hasn't gone up yet

>>11459303
Sandman, while a cool villain, is a shitty design

>>11459306
He’s definitely pretty boring but I still think I want to get him to put next to Samhain and Boogeyman.

>>11449486
>"Murray's hard to do."
Only if you hire fiverr sculptors. A multibillion dollar conglomerate can afford to hire some better sculptors. They just won't.

>>11459321
Indeed. Hasbro has a track record of using cheap freelancers in recent years. Mattel nailed Murray without the benefit of face printing 16 years ago with figures sculpted by actual professionals (four horsemen).

>>11459363
>actual professionals (four horsemen)
Are you trying to summon subby?

>>11452114
It's certainly a weird direction after taking a year to virtue signal the fuck out of it and attacking anyone else who does not claim to love it as the best movie that ever happened.

>>11459303
Sandman looks dope

>>11459432
>Oh wait, it doesn't
Huh?
Also is everyone obsessed over the Star Trek thing cause they couldn't actually argue with anything he said

>>11459363
That doesn’t look anything like Murray.

>>11459363
Lmao, no the Plasma Series one is miles ahead. The only good Mattel headsculpt was Winston and the Plasma Series is still better.

>>11459537
To anyone who has never seen the RGB episode, his appearance may not look all that intimidating, but his voice sure as hell was. Him coming with Winston is fitting too since the other busters got put to sleep and he was left alone to figure out a way to catch him effectively. It's so simple but as a kid I thought it was the coolest idea.

>>11459590
Wasn't it Murray demanding that no one ever be allowed to remake his likeness the reason the cartoon Ghostbusters redesigned everyone?

>>11459590
That Plasma Series looks more like Ted Cruz than Bill Murray. Mattel's is undeniably Bill.

I initially agreed that the Venkman’s likeness looked off, but after comparing it to shots from the movie of Murray with a serious face I think it’s actually a lot closer than we initially thought. I think the cheeks could be slightly thinner, but I definitely do see the Murray likeness.

>>11459861
I have to guess they used the bottom left picture as reference as it looks very close to the top right render. I think it’s a better attempt than the first plasma series.

>>11459861
Sorry, not seeing it at all.

They’ve done 4 different Venkmans and I’m not sure a single one has gotten it right. I’d say the closest one is maybe the haslab one for GB2, but even that one is iffy.

>>11459831
Mattel's looks more like some kind of amalgamation of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd.

>>11459941
The Afterlife one looks great, but I assume that was a 3D scan. Obviously that wouldn't be possible for young Murray.

>>11459958
I've never once seen anyone say such a thing, nor can I even remotely see it. Matty's sculpt was highly regarded at the time. Today it looks more cartoonish because of the simpler paint apps, but it's still instantly Bill Murray in my eyes. Every Hasbro sculpt I have to do mental gymnastics to try to find Bill. If the Matty sculpt were given face printed paint apps it would look amazing.

Winston and Sandman are up

I won’t lie, it’s honestly shitty that we’re now 3 figures up for preorder without us having Venkman in hand yet with how expensive these are. Yes, I know a few reviewers have received samples, but it’s not the same.

>>11460235
>This item is subject to a Tariff Surcharge for U.S. customers.
As if $202 isn't absurd enough.

>>11460266
>As if $202 isn't absurd enough.
but… but… they’re required to make the price that high because mondo told me so!!! and they’re making the price worth it because they gave us a cool box and cardboard ghosts!!!

>>11460235
11 surcharge for tariff isn't as bad as I was expecting, though that could be because it's down to 30% at the moment. Hopefully when Ray releases it won't be 4 times as high.

>>11460266
At least the shipping is still free. I had to pay shipping for mumm-ra and between that, tax, and tariffs, it added another $80 on.

>>11460269
You'd think for $202 they could eat the cost of the tariff. There ain't anywhere close to $202 of value in that box.

>>11460309
Oh I completely agree, Both versions are only worth half what they’re charging. These are essentially super7 ultimates figures.

>>11460311
S7 figures don’t have this level of paint and they have shitty insert molded joints like you see in $20 domestic toys. These are certainly overpriced and could use more articulation but saying they are S7 level is disingenuous.

>>11460235
anyone else just getting the ghostbusters? already expensive as is...... doesn't help that I'm also out of display room.

>>11460334
I’m getting the ghosts mostly with the plan that I may resell them. The ghosts will absolutely cover the 2-pack’s cost once these release, most people are ordering only the singles.

Anybody collect the playmobil stuff?

>>11459861
>>11459941
New Hasbro Venkman reminds me of Diamond Select's effort. They're both going for a similarly disheveled look.
Honestly, the new one is probably three best we've gotten. Not perfect but I definitely see it.

>>11460341
I'm getting the Boogie and Sam Hain 2 packs because like most kids they were my favorite spooks from the toon. Winston and Ray I'm grabbing singles of as I don't care enough about Sandman or Ghast.

>>11460346
Fuck off Retrospammer

>>11460118
That profile looks better for sure, but I still don't think it looks great from the front. That said, I don't think Hasbro's look very good either. His face looks too wide, or something. I also feel like no one really gets his hair right. It looks too cartoonish or exaggerated.

Two of Mondo’s creative directors are going to be looking at the Winston and Sandman tonight via livestream at 8pm ET
https://www.youtube.com/live/nldSC0Dh_qo

Saw a vid showing off Pete and while I'm disappointed there isn't more range in the elbow, the hand movement let's them do what I'd want. That being said I really do wish they had better range there. Would it still have looked good if they molded the arms to give more range at the elbow even with a single joint, and just come together better? Like how revoltech does knees. I feel like the jumpsuit could have bunched up in ways that wouldn't have ruined the sculpt and still left it with better movement. I think my main gripe is no ball joint at the waist. That wouldn't have messed with sculpt at all and would have let them bend down or backward. You can get the pose by moving the legs up or back, so maybe it's a minor thing, but still something to note.

>>11462349
You don't want good toys, we get it.

>>11462349
>no ball joint at the waist.
Are you serious?

>>11462351
I'm looking forward to all the busters and Sam/Boogey so I'm not trashing them or anything. I wouldn't be buying them if I thought they were bad, and I doubt we'll ever see RGB figures like this ever again.

>>11462409
Unless whoever the reviewer was didn't try it then it seems not. Can anyone confirm? I mean the waist can turn at the very least.

Honestly my single biggest complaint with the mondo figures is the lack of extra hands. Every figure comes with multiple hands these days, even cheap shit like marvel legends, they should have thrown in a pair of relaxed hands at the very least. It’s such a glaring oversight I can only assume they plan to try to sell the 4 of them again in civilian duds after this and want to make them more appealing.

The version 2 1/6 Blitzway Ghostbusters are going up today, look good, but pricey.

They don't need extra hands

>>11464955
I disagree. For 101 fucking dollars they should have several sets of hands.

>>11464955
>>11464963
Yeah I'd say at least some pointing hands, relaxed hands, hell maybe even hands eating something since ya know Slimer. The gloved hands all you really need are the wand holding hands, but the bare hands should have more. Think anyone will 3d print some extra hand kits?

>>11464963
Please understand, Mondo was forced to charge $101 per figure, and they were forbidden from including alternate hands or double joints. It's not their fault! The licensor tied their hands!

>>11464963
>>11465311
>>11465574
You really should just be grateful we’re getting them at all.

>>11465623
>be grateful for the opportunity to overpay for figures without basic shit people have come to expect

>>11465737
They can't just add in whatever they want when they're already having to pay so much for the licensing to allow these to happen.

>>11466944
>They can't just add in whatever they want when they're only charging $101 for a 6" figure

No alice frame brackets for 84 pack, but mounts for them will remain.
