karamazov80 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Or if you want cheaper and bigger: Problem solved! LOL I order online from Hastings whenever they have one of their 30% off used CDs/DVDs sale. I've probably ordered from them dozens of times by now. But I don't thnk I've ever seen a brick and mortar store in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 UK Collector I picked up a set of the Ghostbusters 12" figures at Big lots. I am not sure what I'll do with it, so if you want it, drop me a line. I can snap a few pics if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 The new 4-pack is up for pre-order from BBTS: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=DMC12060&mode=retail I'm sure Luke will have them soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Crap, there's an angry version of the Stay Puft coming out. I can't afford both. Hurm. Which would make the most sense for a Minimate display? I'm thinking Angry... http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=DMC12064&mode=retail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 For that price, it should be a swappable head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'd go with angry. Does anyone want DST to offer a bank of the Statue of Liberty? It doesn't even have to be under the Ghostbusters brand. After looking for large banks of Lady Liberty and coming up short (literally), it seems there might be a market for such a vinyl bank. I'm sure the gift shop at Ellis Island would order a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I don't know if that angry listing is real, I need to see if we are offering that one yet. And if you think about it, the 11" one is $23. This one is more than twice as tall, more than twice as wide, and more than twice as deep, which means it's more than eight times the plastic, and takes up more than eight times the space in a shipping container. It all adds up, cost-wise. It also weighs eight times as much. It's heavy. Like, statue heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Happy face would be the preference for me. That's how he looks most of the time, even while reaking havoc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $120, what's another $10-$20 to add a swap out additional head? I just don't see a lot of people wanting more than one style of these willing to shell out $100+ for each version if, in fact, DST decides to offer more than one version.

DSTZach Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Confirmed that listing is legit. I guess we're making both. But the head is not removable on either version. Coins come out through one of the feet, not the neck. I don't know why this one is engineered differently than the little one, but I assume there are reasons that would make interchangeable parts not possible. People may not buy both, but I think we'll sell out of both, and that's just based on feedback at the booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye's Junk Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Both looks are great. This is going to be hard to figure out. I'm leaning towards happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterPL Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I don't know about anyone else but I saw a lot of little Ghostbusters last night. My daughter's grade school parade included four boys and a girl dressed in uniforms and gear from the first film. Hopefully this bodes well for Minimates.

karamazov80 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Our Halloween got rain, so not many trick-or-treaters, but I did catch a few minutes of the movie on Comedy Central. Hope that is a good omen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VulcansFury Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Neat! But I don't have that kind of room to store/display him. I'm still happy with my 12" DST version. If it were Galactus though, I'd make room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Way to go, DST! It's always nice to see the Minimates brand taking front and center, even if it's only in pictures. (Suck it, Mattel!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Is the color in that picture pretty accurate to the colors in-hand? They look almost yellow there, as opposed to the more tan color they seem to be in the solicitation pictures.

elmeaux Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 They're pretty close to my picture, just slightly darker. Definitely not the same color as the solicitation picture.I didn't notice that green slop on Winston's thigh at the store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
