Present Toys - 1/6 PT-57-PT-58 Ghost Hunting Squad (Ghostbusters)

I have the full set in pride of place, but welcome more. I was disappointed Soldier Story never did their versions. They looked like fun.

I have the 4 pack plus Slimer, but I'm up for new headsculpts and a new Slimer in the correct color.

I’m still happy with my “Sedgwick Trio + Slimer”, but if Zeddemore turns out decent, I might pick him up.

I have the Blitzway 4 pack but I would get a 3rd party 4 pack as well if they use different sculpts.

Just had it confirmed it's present toys.

Great news. The figure looks promising.

I guess it is a good news. But Present Toys has taken on so many projects and I feel their current product quality is mediocre. Let’s hope this Ghostbusters quality is decent. I still hope another company like Toys Era or Art figure will do it too.

To paraphrase Jesse Ventura, I ain't got time for mediocrity.

Strong emphasis on "taken".

I'm beyond excited for the chance to get a team for my Ecto-1 since I missed Blitzway's original set. I was starting to feel like I would have to cave and feed the secondary market pirates on eBay. Soon my patience will be rewarded...

Great news. I am doing Gozer and have Moranis HS if any interest.

Actually with the packs and equipment I would expect these to be priced pretty close to what the BW ones were 5 years ago. I can't see them being less than $200.

I didn't realize the original Blitzway figures were only $200... I could have sworn they were closer to $230... but maybe I'm thinking of ebay mark-up back then.

Still, hoping for that low price all the same...

Wow that's exciting!

What's the consensus on Present Toys, quality-wise? I can't keep up with all these unlicensed figure outfits.

I've got a couple from them and am perfectly happy with the quality from sculpts/paint/soft goods/accessories. I really have no worry when ordering their stuff.

They do have a lot on their plate but they seem to be working through the releases.

Yeah I think there were around $250 or so each (maybe $230 if you got the 4-pack). I was just saying I don't expect them to be the usual third party price that some are likely hoping for.

Mars Toys and Toys Era are my top 3rd parties favorites right now.

I'm just happy someone took on the Ghostbusters... but I hope Present Toys makes more effort on these then, say, their Mad Max.

Ah, OK... yeah, I doubt these will be $160 or such, but I'm hoping that the amortized cost of the repeat outfits and gear will help keep the price way lower than Blitzway.

Yup if these have to be recast by somebody, I'd rather it be Present Toys than, say, Redman, where everything ends up looking a hundred times cheaper than the original.

I have Blitzway's set of four, but always wanted another set to use with the car. That way, I can remove the Proton packs and store them in the back and have the figures sitting in the car or un-loading stuff from the back.

Same here. I've always wanted to display them just casually hanging out by the car and not fully geared up, but with only one set of figures that's never been an option.

And I know it's a long shot, but what are the chances they might also make an Afterlife set with older sculpts of the characters? I'd be totally down for that as well.

I'd totally be down for an Afterlife set too. Ghost Egon would be rad and a fat Ray. Even with these, one could potentially customize them into old dudes. As it's already been said, hopefully the price point is low and the quality is decent on these figures. I've never heard of this company before until it was mentioned about these figures the other day.

To correct that was premier toys as present hasn't done theirs yet.

Going by the tailoring etc recently these would be pretty decent.
