Matty-lad Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Hey all, Thought you might be interested to know that the little known film series Ghostbusters is coming soon in Minimate form http://www.artasylum.com/blog/2009/02/its-...inimate-has-no/ Take care, Matty-lad Quote
karamazov80 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Wow. Kubrick and Minimate versions of these bad boys. Awesome. Thank you again for capitulating to our demands, DST!! Quote
winkerbean Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) i think I've just S#@t a kitten!!!!!!!!!! we're getting a Sigourney Weaver minimate that would count as a ripley from aliens..... Right & all i need now i a Michael Caine minimate and i'll be able recreate scene's from that popular movie Half Moon Street!! *runs off to buy Ghostbusters on DVD* Edited February 5, 2009 by winkerbean Quote
minijeff Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Seriously I think I just wet myself! I was actually debating the kubricks but now won't have to. First BTTF, then T2 and now Ghostbusters!! My minimate collection is starting to look like my favorite childhood movie collection as well!! Jeff of the Miniacs Quote
blacksun1520 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 dream... come... true... I can't believe we are getting these. I will be preordering as soon as BBTS gets them on their site, which will be in about 5 minutes BS Quote
karamazov80 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 which will be in about 5 minutes I'm honestly surprised they didn't spoil this one before AA could let us in on it. Quote
winkerbean Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 i wonder if we'll see these over the weekend at the con?? Quote
Lobsterman Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Dear Chuck: Will you be my valentine? Just kidding. You already are. ---- Updated: Okay, I just went back and actually read the press release. Pete, Egon, dog-form Vince Clortho (yes, he has a name), and Zuul in this set. I have to assume this means there will be at least one more set with Ray, Winston, Dana and, just for fun, Walter Peck, the Man With no Dick. Edited February 5, 2009 by Lobsterman Quote
buttheadsmate Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Watch me celebrate Smack on with yesterday's prediction Groundhog Edited February 5, 2009 by buttheadsmate Quote
NorthRaider Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Okay, I just went back and actually read the press release. Pete, Egon, dog-form Vince Clortho (yes, he has a name), and Zuul in this set. I have to assume this means there will be at least one more set with Ray, Winston, Dana and, just for fun, Walter Peck, the Man With no Dick. Don't forget Janine and Slimer! (I smell two bestseller boxsets!!!) I'm probably gonna be the only one who says this, but I wish maybe we'd get Minimates of the Extreme Ghostbusters too. For some reason I really liked watching that show as a kid. Eduardo, Garrett, Roland and Kylie FTW! Quote
karamazov80 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I anticipate either a series of 2-packs, or single, boxed figures as we are getting with Terminator. Quote
Jad Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Woot! These are an absolute must-buy. I do hope they stick to box sets and two packs, a-la BTTF. Now where to find an in-scale Ecto 1? Quote
MinimateEspo25 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 whoooooooooooo yeah baby, but where are stanz and zedemore Quote
AdyCarter Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 First Mattel, then this Christ im happy Quote
Rad Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 What's the Mattel news Ady? Is it more Ghostbusters? Sad to say I'm really underwhelmed by this announcement but also surprised at the positive response it's getting. I never knew there was so much love for Ghostbusters. Quote
NorthRaider Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 whoooooooooooo yeah baby, but where are stanz and zedemore Oh, they should be in a second boxset for SURE, along with whomever DST will probably turn into the variant-overkill guy (i.e. Marty McFly in the BTTF sets). I wonder who we'll see in an exclusive two-pack... Louis Tully in a Ghostbusters uniform, perhaps? I find it amusing how DST now already have some parts for this set thanks to Chef Duff. Quote
luke314pi Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I agree that a second set is almost a given to round off the main characters. This is awesome news! Quote
groundhog7s Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Watch me celebrate Smack on with yesterday's prediction Groundhog Uh huh. That's right. My next Minimate prediction-Steel Magnolias. Quote
Lobsterman Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) possessed Dana Barrett... There is no Dana, only Zuul! Edited February 5, 2009 by Lobsterman Quote
winkerbean Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Sad to say I'm really underwhelmed by this announcement but also surprised at the positive response it's getting. Rad appears to have been replaced by a Skrull........ Quote
AdyCarter Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 What's the Mattel news Ady? Is it more Ghostbusters? Sad to say I'm really underwhelmed by this announcement but also surprised at the positive response it's getting. I never knew there was so much love for Ghostbusters. Mattel are doing 6 and 12 inch figures based on the films and cartoons. Quote
Danny Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I'm excited but really wanted a 4-pack of the Ghostbusters themselves. I would hate for them to do just the one boxset due to "poor sales" because it didn't have all the Ghostbusters in. It's a circular, bitter argument, I know. Quote
Turtle Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Cool news, but I will be seriously pissed if we don't get the whole team. Hopefully there will be another set with Ray, Winston, Slimer, and either Gozer or Janine. And a Maximate Stay Puft. Rad, I don't know if you've found your answer, but the Mattel news is that the Four Horsemen are sculpting a 6 inch line. There will also be a 12 inch line. Quote
