Re: New Ghostbusters 6 Inch Figures Released in Canada

This SDCC 2016 Toys R Us Exclusive is pretty impressive don't you guys agree? I wonder if they will find themselves over here in Toys R Us Canada?

VERY bold statement. I will watch it at some point, but when it won't cost me anything to do so.

as for that DST SDCC Ray figure, I highly doubt it will show up at TRU. I have yet to see any of the DST Ghostbuster figures at retail outside of specialty and comic book shops...not to mention its not very "exclusive" to release a con variant at big box retail. You may see them show up at places like BBTS though.

Yup I said it. I'm old school through and through so the original movies are movie masterpieces to me. You dont phuck with movie history. I went in with zero expecations and a certainty I will be let down and leaving with nerd rage. I dont say stuff about GB or SW or TF if i dont believe it but this movie was worth my entry fee and satisfied my GB itch.

What I'm glad they didn't do is try and continue the story. It's a true reboot. And that's why it works. They better make another

One of my buddies who is a big GB fanboy enjoyed it, but did say it could have been better. I will reserve my final opinion for when I actually see the movie, but as it stands right now; I think it just looks bad. I don't care that the main cast are all female (I like Kristen Wiig), but from the trailer alone the jokes seem forced and the ghosts look like they came straight out of a terrible video game.

My big three groing up was Ghostbusters, Star Wars and TMNT. I have only shelled out money in the last year to see the newest Star Wars movie...the other two are on my "to watch" list, but not at the expense of my bank account.

Holy cow, look at this option for 1/12 scale! Apparently releasing this year. I think I might return my Mattel set.

Does anyone have any more info on this Blitzway product? Also, their 1/6 scale is unbelievably detailed.

I'm game on the 1/6 scale and will probably be lured into getting at least one of them, but not sold on the 6" stuff. Head sculpts are off (the Ernie Hudson in particular)

I second this statement. And I've been a huge fan of Ghostbusters since before I can remember (born in '81, obsessed with the movie at a far younger age than I should have been allowed).

Re: New Ghostbusters 6 Inch Figures Released in Canada

I didn't realize there was such a pricing discrepancy between Walmarts lately (particularly on 6 inch Marvel and Star Wars). Even these 80's Ghostbusters were $15.00 in Peterborough. I figured that was the price everywhere. But they seem to be $29.92 everywhere else. I've only spotted the female Ghostbusters at Hanover Ontario Walmart, and they (as well as the 80's GBs) are $29.92 there.
