GameStop Exclusive Stranger Things - Ghostbusters Costume 4-Pack

[AlanThCollector]

Can't wait to grab this set. I own the other figures in McFarlane's Stranger thing line minus the demogorgon and they are some pretty well put together figures with great accessories, articulation and pretty amazing likenesses to boot.

As of this post I've never seen an episode of the the Netflix series, but these figures look to good to pass up, plus they make for good stand-ins for the losers club kids from IT so that's a bonus.

These are the only McFarlane toys I own, but these Stranger Things offerings are comparable to some of NECA's and Diamond Selects offerings.

If they kept making sets with this kind of quality for all their lines I'd be buying more from them.

The Demogorgon is awesome. It's one of their best 10" figures so far.

Complete all 4 kids in Ghostbusters suit. This sure is irresistible!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

That's amazing!
And the price is very nice.
Question, for my own curiosity. What appeal does the set hold for someone who hasn't seen the series? Just a big Ghostbusters fan, or? It's great to see people enjoying it on any level, I was just wondering. It's a really good show!

I'm just a fan of well made action figures. If I find a toy to be really cool or if it fills a void in my collection then I'll buy it regardless of property or recognition.

For example bought the entire collection of Diamond Selects Gotham line simply because I wanted well articulated figures of generic looking cops and thugs to play with along side some of my horror or alien creature action figures, plus the accessories are just too nice! I've never seen Gotham either. I even bought the entire NECA Twilight line which I've neither seen nor read just to have teenagers for Freddy, Jason and other horror icons to hunt.

The way I see it I can't just have a bunch of creatures, robots and/ or action heroes without some otherwise normal looking figures to help elevate them.

I guess if you're not familiar with StrangerThings you can look at these as maybe the guys as kids when they got challenged to stay the night in a haunted house... or whatever sort of retcon hollywood will eventually come up with... lolz...

I can get behind that logic, last week I bought the giant mutated crocodile from Rampage because my toys needed a giant monster to fight. Was just wondering how the Ghostbusters kids fit into that without any attachment to the show. Works for me!
