I was so disappointed by these.

I waited until I had all 4 to open them..

Well, removing the hands was a chore, I broke 4 of them trying to remove them, I used heat to aid with three of them.. But no, and the pegs snapped off in the arm, so I literally had to dig them out. It's awful.

Then the wire for the trap broke almost immediately.. I hadn't even straightened it out, and bam.

Then the connection point for one of the streams broke off after one attempt at applying it. And it doesn't help at neither Ray nor Winston come with the connectors.

Then there's winstons proton pack, which after one attempt at connecting the wand to the back broke at the top of the ALICE frame. Ugh

And that brings me to the connections for the wand.. If they going to use those types of connectors, they better be really well sculpted and molded, but they're not. They all have a tough time slotting in, and a couple of them really don't want to stay.

Then we have the paint.. The paint in spots looks really rough and sort of messy. From a couple feet away they look fine, but up close they leave a lot to be desired.

Then we have the articulation.. No double jointed elbows?.. For figures whose main accessory is meant to be held with 2 hands?.. Anyone else see a problem with that?

Then there are the two black bases included with the TRU releases and the diorama pieces.. The black bases just don't work.. And the diorama pieces don't have pegs.

That brings me to another huge HUGE complaint. The sculpt of the feet.. My goodness, these have to be the worst feet I've ever seen. The bottoms are basically balls, you give a figure with a back pack round bottomed feet and it becomes a real pain in the ass to get them to stand. I REALLY REALLY don't understand it. I do not understand how anyone approved something like that.

I had really high hopes for these.. I was so excited for them. But now I'm just bleh about them. I'd love to see a company like figuarts or medicom get a license for these.. Maybe then we'd get some really great ghostbusters figures. I'd kill for 3 four packs.. One with the original suits, one with the dark grey suits, and a set of the real ghostbusters.. I'd also love to see a bogeyman for the real ghostbusters.

I doubt any of that will ever happen. Mattel couldn't do it right, DST couldn't do it right.. Will we ever get real collector quality ghostbusters? It doesn't seem like it, not in the near future anyways.

It's cool if you like these, but I just can't get behind them anymore.

Also.. I'm by no means the kind of person who is rough with their toys and breaks a lot of them.. I can count on one hand how many figures I've broken.. Hell, I can list them.. The lower leg of the masked berserker predator, the hip of the red predator and that's it.
