Details For Hasbro's Rumored 6" Ghostbusters Action Figures

[JayC]

As you probably know, Hasbro took over the Ghostbusters license this year. With that we have some rumored details to share with you about a line of 6" collector oriented figures for the property they will be releasing. Keep in mind that these have not been officially confirmed by Hasbro at this time, though we will likely see these on display next month during Toy Fair.

The first wave we are told will contain 6 figures and a Build-A-Figure. Two of the figures in the wave remain unknown, but the other four will be based on the original Ghostbusters (Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman and Winston Zeddemore) from the first movie. Again, because this has not yet been confirmed by Hasbro, we will treat this as rumor for now.

I'll have to see more before I decide to buy into this line. I thought the DST ones looked good but from what I have heard there was quite a few of quality control issues, let's see if Hasbro fares better.

Based on the "Original" Ghostbusters... That means the cartoon? The cartoon was the only one called The Original...

The Real Ghostbusters is the cartoon. The original Ghostbusters from the first movie is just that.

I've got every figure from the Diamond Select line except for one and completely love them. Gonna take a lot to top those figures but I'm down for just about anything Ghostbusters. Highly looking forward to these.

I only have the first wave of DST which had a ton of QC issues and if these are anything like Hasbro's other 6" lines, the articulation and joint construction I imagine will be superior to the DST. The big question is what the BAF be. The DST dioramas were pretty cool.

Oh ok thanks for the clarification JayC.

We had a lot of Ghostbusters figures, Hasbro really needs show their best game to outshine DST and Mattel, and I bet additional articulation and Face printing tech will give them much advantage.
