Here’s the leaks for the upcoming Haslab Ecto-1, looks like it’s going to be GB2, but I’m sure it’ll come with parts to swap out to GB1. With Halloween right around the corner, it seems like a perfect time for a Ghosbusters thread. Feel free to post your proton packs and ghost traps as well.

>>11197176
I shudder to think of the price. And I'm gonna need to buy two to have one of each.
>>11197183What could they realistically charge for this? $200, $250 max?
>>11197193They charged $350 for the Ghost Rider car. This has got to be $500 minimum.
I could consider $350 but there’s 7 figures and the car has a lot more paint/pieces than the ghost rider one did, $500 is probably not far off.
>>11197199>>11197215500 is a bit steep… plus idk where i would put it for now
>>11197193>>11197199>>11197215>>11197270Correct me if I’m wrong, but is this not 1/18? The pins and the headsculpts look more 1/18 scale to me. If it is indeed 1/12, then the figures seem like downgrades compared to the previous ones.
>>11197294oh it’s 1/18? I’m out then if true
>>11197215Not to mention the alt parts for the 1A. The entire roof looks to be different (not just the rack), as well as the wheels and the rear bumper. I think the sides of the car and the rear door will just be stickers, so you'll have to choose which version of it you want it to be. Would be nice if those areas could be done via alt parts so you can swap the car from 1 to 1A as you please, but I just don't see how it can be done. I would be shocked if it ends up being less than $700 for all you get.>1:12 Ecto-1 (Needs Cadillac licensing, also the 1959 Miller-Meteor is a big fucking car)>Ecto-1A roof, rear bumper, and wheels at the very least>Full lights, the 1A digital signs, and more than likely sounds>Four 6" GB2 Ghostbusters >6" GB2 Louis Tully>6" Slimer>6" Library GhostYou don't really need a second kidney, do you?
>>11197294>Correct me if I’m wrong,You're wrong. Those are the 6" Plasma Series figures. Hasbro already released a 1:18 Ecto-1 for Afterlife, and just released a GB1 retool/redeco of it earlier this year.
>>11197301Stickers on a $500 toy is asinine but it’s hasbro so I wouldn’t put it past them.
>>11197306I probably am, the main thing that’s confusing me is that the heads look like significant downgrades from the previous figures. But it’s more about the car anyways.
>>11197311I agree, but how else would you do it? Alternate doors could be done, but the 1A has the caution striping and text beyond the doors.>>11197320The Louis and Librarian heads look great. I'll chalk Egon up to a weird angle we're seeing it from.
>>11197333Could be done with a lot of swappable parts. Rumor was this haslab would have a tier similar to the cantina that cost more money; people assumed it would mean for the ghostbusters themselves but the 2nd tier may be for the 1A parts instead. Maybe the ghostbusters are included in that tier and the slimer and librarian are part of the base offering?
>>11197338I'd love to be wrong, but I just can't see them giving us the entire sides of the car as swappable parts. I think the base offering will be the standard Ecto-1, Librarian, and Slimer, as seen here >>11197167, with the premium tier including the 1A roof/wheels/bumper, GB2 Busters, and 1A decals, as seen here >>11197166. Louis isn't in either of those photos, so I think he'll be a stretch goal.
>>11197193>What could they realistically charge for this? $200, $250 max?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is not just Hasbro, whose retail offerings are already priced exorbitantly, but a Haslab, which cranks up the price gouging to 11. You'll be lucky if the base offering is only $500 and the everything included package is $750.
>>11197358who tf is gonna pay over 500 bucks for this??
>>11197366The same people who didn't pay $350 for pic related. Hasbro will think the Ecto-1 is a more iconic vehicle, and that Ghostbuster fans have deep pockets considering how much they spend on props, but the people who buy props and the people who buy action figures are two different camps. This won't fund at the ridiculous price Hasbro will ask.
Hasbro accidentally posted these listings on Pulse earlier this month.
>>11197394holy shit that would be roughly $650 and $850 in USD. No fucking way that’s what they’re charging for this, that is absolutely insane.
>>11197396They don't do true conversions with these things, it's usually the same price in US dollars. So $600 and $800 respectively. Still crazy, but when you compare it to >>11197373 it's to be expected.
>>11197394I think if this is the real price it’s got a very high chance of failing. That kind of price tag is limiting the market to super fans, many of which likely already bought the far superior blitzway or eaglemoss ecto-1s.
This seems to dispel the notion of the 1A not just giving you stickers for the sides of the car.
>>11197426Ooh, nice catch
>>11197426idk what i am looking at explain plz
>>11197419Haslab is limited to superfans regardles. So many casual interested parties had no idea about the Proton Pack or Trap/PKE until it was too late. The appeal of this car is 1:12. Blitzway Ecto is a monster, and even if you collect 1:6 and can afford it, it takes up a huge amount of space. Eaglemoss is smaller at 1:8, but still a fair amount larger than this 1:12 Ecto would be, and to my knowledge there are no 1:8 Ghostbuster figures to go with it. There has been demand for a 1:12 Ecto-1 since the Mattycollector line. Between Hasbro and Mattel, there is a very healthy collection of 6 inch scaled Ghostbusters figures begging for an Ecto-1. Mondo will soon be adding to that with 6" RGB figures, so I think this car has a chance of funding, but Hasbro is doing their damndest to price people out.
>>11197437The tube isn’t on the GB1 version but is on the GB2 version and would require a different sculpt.I had an idea, what if they’re using magnets and you can swap out the pieces?
>>11197437>idk what i am looking at explain plzEcto-1A has an extra hose on the side. What you're seeing on the left is the standard Ecto-1 with a plug for the hole needed for that hose.
>>11197320Are you all dumb? These are obviously 1:18 / 4" figures. The bodies are all new and why the fuck would they tool completely new bodies if they already have existing ones? The heads and soft details are also a clear giveaway that these are 4"
>>11197465>These are obviously 1:18 / 4" figuresYou obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
>>11197465>The bodies are all new and why the fuck would they tool completely new bodies if they already have existing ones?Maybe because these are based on the GB2 uniforms which had differences?
>>11197465are you? why would they make a haslab 1:18 ecto 1 when there's already one you can buy at retail?
>>11197553Great more boring ass trolls
>>11197474>>11197547>>11197529Look at the size of the pins in the arms here >>11197171 Have any 6" figures had pins that thick in diameter? No.
>>11197579They're also prototypes.
>>11197579>>11197686Even for prototypes for figures that will eventually have their limbs be pinless, the pin diameter is never that large.....unless these are 4" figures
>>11197688They are definitely 6” figures.
>>11197166When is it supposed to go up?
>>11198333Sometime this weekend after it's announced at NYCC.
>>11197193$400, though they'll probably reach for $500 because of the bonus figures
When is Mondo talking about the RGBs?
>>11197574>Have any 6" figures had pins that thick in diameter?I've seen 7" figures with those huge pins.
Today's the day boys. 5:15 Hasbro panel. Can't wait to see people lose their minds when the pricing is conformed to be $599/$799.
We won
Just a reminder the Batmobiles fit one figure, have only like seven moving parts, hollow, more iconic than the ecto1 will ever be (the name more than the design even) and most importantly almost completely one color.Just in case people don't understand why one can go unsold in Target until its half off and this can't
>>11202681Deluxe is $399
>>11202694Base is $325
>>11202694I'm actually shocked how reasonable this is compared to the Ghost Rider car. Even the base offering is a much better value than that was seeing as the Ecto-1 is much larger, has four doors, and sounds. The deluxe is an even better value for how much you get. The only downside is that there's no way to swap out the decals after they've been applied, so you pretty much need to commit to whether you want the Ecto-1 or 1A, or buy two to have one of each.
no stretch goals?not that im complaining since I expect this will just barely meet its minimum

>>11202705It worries me that Tully is an early bird incentive and not a stretch. Not sure it can get fully funded in two weeks.
>>11202714
>We needed something no one had ever done before, something that would blow the doors off the competition, and something that would really get the fandom’s collective engine revving. We’re beyond proud to announce the first-ever 6-inch-scale Ectomobile ever. EVER! And with both a base and deluxe model available, you get to choose your ride!Where is the dumbfuck anon who was insisting this was 3 & 3/4"?
You think the mezco busters will fit in this? They're a lot bigger. I guess worst case I can just display them next to it...
>The Green Ghost—or Slimer, as he’s more commonly known—is arguably the most famous ghost in the Ghostbusters universe, and the first successfully busted specter! From pigging out on leftover room service to charging and sliming Venkman, this ugly little spud was an immediate fan favorite. Now, he’s finally making his gluttonous debut in the Plasma Series, featuring 4 points of articulation and classic Ghostbusters design and detail. Includes stand.It's weird how Hasbro counts articulation. Swivel hinge elbows and wrists should be 2POA each. This Slimer is realistically 8POA.
>>11202734My Plasma series Venkman is considerably shorter than my PSCC figures, which use the Gomez buck. Depending on how articulated whatever buck Mezco used in the GB figures is, it's possible they might fit. I suspect the Ecto-1 will be backdrop fodder for them, though.
>>11202734The Hasbro figures are really small. They're not even a full 6 inches. The front seat looks like there's a comfortable amount of room though, so maybe, depending on how much leg room they give you. The back seats I would say probably not since they are more cramped.
>>11202703It really is. Kudos to Hasbro on this one, even if it kind of reveals how ass some of the other HLs are from a value perspective.My only oversight I see is the lack of monstrous head for the librarian ghost
>>11202750It needs more than a head swap, but If you collected the old Mattycollector line this perfectly compliments the fact that they made the monstrous library ghost, but not the human one. You can probably get one cheap these days.
I honestly wish there was an option for spending a little more for swappable parts cuz those stickers are permanent.
>>11202779Could they possibly be something like colorforms where they aren't permanent?
>>11202758Yeah, that works.
Where my Ecto-1B'ros at?
>>11202788The two lines in general compliment each other really well in terms of ghosts, with Slimer now being the only overlap. Matty GB1>Slimer>Monstrous Library Ghost>Subway Ghost>Cab Driver Ghost>Stay Puft Marshmallow ManMatty GB2>Tony Scoleri>Nunzio Scoleri>Vigo>Cinema GhostHasbro>Slimer>Human Library Ghost>Zuul Terror Dog>Vinz Clortho Terror Dog>Gozer
>>11202779honestly they might as well just have GB 1 and 2 versions for order instead of basic/deluxe because stickers are fucking lame
>>11202827It would no doubt complicate the manufacturing process if different tampos had to be applied to different parts. Knowing Hasbro's QC, I could see people getting Ectos with the wrong symbols and such, so this is probably for the best. Also nothing annoys me more than when tampos are misaligned, and it happens often with Hasbro products. I've returned so many Transformers I've bought online because their chest symbols were badly off-center, so I'd rather be able to just apply the decals myself and be assured that they're perfect.
>>11202786Vaccu form clear panels could work...Time to ask one of the 3rd parties.
>>11202786it could be done, however this is hasbroit will be stickers
If they are in fact permanent stickers, I could see somewhere like GBFans replicating them and making them available on an as-needed basis so people always have the option to change them. Hell, if you know what you're doing you don't even need replacement stickers. Heat allows you to take most decals off without doing any damage to them. You'd probably need a bit of glue when reapplying though.
Did anybody here order & if so which one?
>>11202722i don’t think it’s getting funded at all
>>11202939seems to be off to a pretty good start
>>11202936I ordered 2 Deluxe sets. Been wanting one for 6" figs since Matty teased us back in 2013
>>11202936I'm waiting for the panel to hopefully give us more information on the decals. but if they are indeed regular, non-swappable stickers, I'll be buying two of the deluxe so I can have both Ectos. Reason I'd do two deluxe instead of one deluxe and one basic, is cause the deluxe is a much better value, and I can easily sell off the extra figures and 1A parts to recoup some of the cost.
>>11202951>Been wanting one for 6" figs since Matty teased us back in 2013Matty's crowdfunding model was very poor, and I think contributed to the failure of their Ecto. Hasbro is direct about what their target it, and it updates in real time, so we have transparency in regards to how it's doing. Matty had an ambiguous percentage meter which they seemed to have to manually update. It didn't encourage people to back the thing when the meter seemingly never moved.
Hasbro didn't say anything about the stickers in the panel, or anything really that we didn't already know.
>>11202936This >>11202703 anon is right but I'll never display it in movie 2 mode so I just ordered base
Mondo announced Ray and Ghash (Mr. Ugly) two pack at NYCC
>>11202703>I'm actually shocked how reasonable this is compared to the Ghost Rider carThe Disney/Marvel licensing fees are insane. GB as a brand is basically on life support after recent failed movies so they're probably a fraction of other popular brands
Winston and Sandman two pack
and...
>>11203385>The Disney/Marvel licensing fees are insane.Which is the height of hilarity, given how bad Disney have fucked their IPs in the public perception.
I never picked up that first wave of the hasbro plasma series figures when they went on clearance a while back. Why does Egon's cost so much now?
>>11203413Case breakdown.>1x Winston Zeddemore>2x Peter Venkman>2x Ray Stantz>1x Egon Spengler>1x Dana Barrett>1x Gozer
>>11203413I think because since he died a lot of people were just getting him
>>11203388Am I really gonna have to resort to buying a $100 animated figure just to get a 6" Janine? Shame the Haslab didn't include her as a stretch goal with all the other GB2 stuff.
This HasLab sure is banking on Ghostbusters 2 nostalgia.
Didn't Hasbro already do a Plasma Series Ecto-1?
Decals are removable.https://youtu.be/Z_ASp73ec_k?t=275&feature=shared
>>11204446they made a 3.5 scale one.
>>11204648Nice. I just bought a set of the plasma series wave 1. I will be very angry if this doesn't get funded
>>11197166>>11202694Okay never really backed anything from Haslab. How does it work? Does it charge me immediately if I back this or in December? If I don't back this in the first two week and Louis gets unlocked, do I still get one if I back it later? Thanks.
>>11204666You don't get charged until the order period ends. You're safe until then.
>>11204666They won't charge you until the campaign ends in December, and you can cancel I believe up to two weeks after the campaign ends, so you really have nothing to lose. Back it now and help Tully get funded.
>>11203912GB2 is the best one.I want to be excited for this, but the Plasma series just sucks. It wasn't handled very well...
>>11197373Sad thing is I actually liked this but nowhere near $350 liked it
Does anyone here own the Haslab proton pack? It seems one of my lights seemed to stop working and I’m wondering if the bulb possibly got messed up, but I’m not sure that’s possible. Does anyone know what the issue could be?
>>11205677>one of my lights seemed to stop workingYou're not being subtle as you think you are retro spammer.
>>11205677Fuck off
Think we're actually gonna get tully? We seem pretty far behind given how these things usually trend.
>>11205987I don't have high hopes for something like this funding in 2 weeks. If not, it'd be nice if Hasbro gave us another chance to get him as a stretch goal.
>>11205987Hasbro does this early incentive bullshit all wrong. When it fails to fund in two weeks, it will leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth that we didn't get him. Better way to do it is to say everyone who backs it in the fist two weeks guts Tully if it funds. That does much more to move the needle from fencesitters because it's a guarantee.
>>11206073They don't go far enough. They should place deadlines and strip more things out every week until the final deadline. Make it like shooting a hostage every hour that demands are not met. Really tap into that FOMO once and for all!
>>11206073i think early birds are just a stupid idea either wayeternia lost a lot of steam once its early bird bonus ended, anyone who isn't tuned in to toy sites can easily miss out on these projects until they've been up for a while and being told you missed out on something just because you didn't learn about it soon enough, even while its still accepting orders blows.
3 days since launch and it sits at44%. How is everyone's feeling on this funding? I think it may fund donw to the wire but won't hit Tully.
>>11206883>I think it may fund donw to the wire but won't hit Tully.That's where I'm at. If it gets to the wire they may throw Tully in to drag it across the line.
>>11206555>eternia lost a lot of steam once its early bird bonus endedI'm unfamiliar with that campaign, but I looked it up and see the early bird figure was also available as a stretch goal. Was that later added as a course correction? I agree with you, I think early bird figures are a bad idea in general, but maybe that's the best way to handle it if you feel the need to incentivize people to back early? Early backers are guaranteed to recieve it, but latecomers can still get it as a stretch. Though if it doesn't reach the stretch, it still leaves a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths, though that can be said about stretch goals in general, and I'm glad this campaign doesn't have any and just gives you a complete package from the jump.
>>11206883Yeah, I think they overestimated how much people want Tully from one of the dumber bits in the second movie. Should have done Janine as a stretch goal.
>>11206970People want Tully, but the Plasma Series has been dormant for almost two years, and the last figures released were just a low effort set of glow in the dark repaints. 12k backers in 14 days is a big ask for a line that most people assumed was dead after Frozen Empire came and went without any new figures. And aside from this Haslab, it basically is a dead line. There was no mention of any future figures, and I have to imagine Hasbro has no plans for future figures, or else they wouldn't be bundling a full set of dark suit GB2 figures with Proton Packs AND Slime Blowers in with this Haslab for practically nothing.
I wish they would've waited to do this. I want this, but not super badly because the Plasma series sucks. But I really do love the Ecto 1-A...and it looks nice.
>>11207306What would waiting change?
>>11207306You don't have to use this car with the Plasma Series if you don't like them, there's plenty of other 6 inch GB offerings. You can use it with the old Mattycollector line, Mezco 1:12, the upcoming Mondo RGBs. I doubt there will ever be another 1:12 Ecto-1, and there will almost certainly never another 1A.
Hasbro should've offered a $600 super deluxe bundle which includes a second stripped down car body for people who would like to have one of each Ecto. Buying a deluxe and basic is $725, and you'll end up with duplicate parts/figures you don't need.2p2k2
>>11207754Where do you see that?
>>11207755>should've
>>11207337>the upcoming Mondo RGBs.FUCK, the lack of 6 inch scale Real Ghostbusters made me less interested in this. You've destroyed me, anon.
>>11207306Yeah the plasma series being shit is why I’m hesitating too. You’re buying a huge display piece for a line that is otherwise awful. Like these were not even good for the low bar that is hasbro figures. If I get it it’s going to be for the Mezco or upcoming mondo ones; obviously a cartoon version would be better for the mondos but it’s not realistic thats going to happen, and if mondo themselves made it it’d be 2x this price easily.
>>11208063Yeah, exactly. This is a crown jewel to set on top of a pile of garbage. It's very frustrating. But those lights and shit on the Ecto 1A are soooo pretty.
>>11208063>>11208145I wouldn't say the Plasma Series is terrible, but it hasn't been great. I'm actually very happy with the secondary characters. Gozer, Zuul Dana, Vinz Louis, the Terror Dogs, even the Afterlife kids are solid. Slimer, the Librarian, and GB Louis look great. My problem with the Plasma Series is just the four OG Busters. They feel like a lateral move from the Matty Collector figures. They're better in some ways, and worse in others. I feel as if I actually prefer the Mattel guys in spite of their shortcomings. The two biggest issues for me in regards to the Hasbro figures are the scale and the suit color. The plastic color used for the suits of the series 1 GBs is just awful. It's way too bright, and the suit details of the sculpt are lost in it. The Afterlife figures fixed this, and the glow in the dark slimed repaints sort of fixed this (they're a darker shade of tan than series 1 Plasma, but not as dark as the Afterlife figures which I'd consider the perfect color), but if you want the four guys young and in clean khaki flight suits, you're stuck with the bright washed out looking suits.My otber big issue, the scale, is a weird one to have. The original Ghostbusters were all 6 feet or over. Winston was the shortest at 6' flat, Egon was the tallest at 6'2". Hasbro made the guys about 5.75", which makes them tiny compared to other 6 inch lines. What's weirder though, is that they're the only Plasma Series characters scaled this small. In pic related you can see 6'1" Venkman (wearing boots which would easily give him an extra inch) next to a barefoot 5'11" Dana, and yet she's taller! She ironically scales better with the Mattel Egon on her left than her own wavemates. That's a pretty big fail. The legs of the Plasma Busters in general look very stumpy, which really hurts their overall sculpt.
Another scale example, you have 6'1" Ray wearing boot which would put him at 6'2", next to Gozer, whose actress was 5'8", in heels which would bump her up to about 5'11". They're eye level with each other. Why the fuck did Hasbro make their Ghostbusters manlets?
>>11208047>>11208063>>11208145>>11208421>>11208440Is this all ghost buster fans talk about? What a dead brand
It finally hit 50%. Don't have high hopes for another 6k in the next 9 days though.
>>11209722I think it’ll fund in time, Tully is a fan favorite character
>>11209726I don’t see it happening unless there is a huge influx of international backers that haven’t been added yet.
>>11209722All projects like this get a large bump in backers on the final day. Not saying it will fund, but you can't really say something won't until the very end.
>>11197373If you think Ghostrider's hotbox mobile has anywhere near the cultural signicance as Ecto 1 I don't know what to tell you. People have been asking for 1/12 Ecto-1 for years.
>>11202996Matty Collector didn't even have a 3D model of the car, just a photo on a piece of cardboard and promises.
>>11208421My Dana literally came with 2 left feet. I wonder if I should just buy a replacement on ebay.
>>11209830We're not talking about the final day of the entire campaign which typically has a surge, we're talking about the end of the stupid early bird period which nets everyone Tully. Will there be a big surge for him at the end of next week? I don't see it.
Hasbro posted a video answering some questions.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DBhR4znAYsJ/?igsh=bGcwdXJpZzh2Z2E5Mostly stuff we already know spelled out for retards. They confirmed no metal on the car (I think we all assumed as much), and in regards to the decals...>Regarding the decals, Hasbro is using their standard repositionable vinyl, which means they won’t have a permanent adhesion. They can be repositioned after applying to the vehicle, with an expected durability of at least five reapplications, potentially up to 10. Additionally, a few extra decals will be provided as backups.I find this disappointing. I'd hoped they had a better solution than something which would have limits. I was leaning towards buying two regardless, but I liked the idea of being able to make the Ecto-1B on occasion.
>>11210467I think there will be a surge but not enough to make it. I hope this at least teaches hasbro to stop doing the early bird shit when it fails to hit the mark.
>>11211725I think they miscalculated how quick this would fund, assuming it would be similar to the pack and trap/PKE despite the market for expensive props and action figure vehicles being vastly different. It's gonna put Hasbro in a bad position when it fails to hit the early bird target. They either reneg and include Tully regardless, or they upset their current backers, and give future backers one less reason to fund it. The only face saving measure Hasbro has is to artificially bump the meter up to 100% before the two week deadline, which I honestly wouldn't doubt. I get the sense they're committed to making this thing even if they have to fudge the numbers. It seems much further along than other Haslabs.
There's tracking of the campaign here which updates every so often.https://geekdadlife.com/2024/10/ghostbusters-plasma-series-ectomobile-anniversary-edition-haslab-tracking-charts-by-brian-brink/Interesting to see it's on pace with the Proton Pack, though looks like it will fall well short of Tully.
>>11212458I think it’ll hit Tully personally
>>11212458What happened on the 8th day to cause the Ghost Rider car to tank?
>>11212478Failure to fund the early bird Robbie Reyes, I'd think.
>>11212484Why the fuck would they try to do the early bird nonsense again after it already tanked one Haslab?
What specific day is the deadline for Tully?
Pretty fair offering by Hasbro, but the early bird idea was fucking stupid.
>>11212506November 2, 11:59 pm EST>>11212508Would be great if it wasn't a hundred fucking dollars and forced me to buy a $100 animated Ghostbuster with it.
>>11212517>November 2, 11:59 pm ESTThanksAlso, I'll never NOT be pissed that Mondo originally said they'd be around $80-90 for the pair THEN went to $202. Fucking cunts. I'm glad they're spacing these out, I'll probably just get the first four, Janine will have to come with something spectacular but even then...
>>11212528They teased in the Toy Anxiety video that Janine has a desk etc.
>>11212528The fact that the super expensive Mondo figures are going up for pre-order at the same time of this super expensive Haslab is asinine planning from the powers that be. Sales are gonna suffer one way or the other.
>>11212529Give me a Janine, desk, TULLY AND a cool decent sized ghost and MAYBE I'll part with another $202>>11212531>the powers that be.Hasbro, Mondo, different companies, dumb fuck. Mondo isn't going to sit around letting bills pile up because Hasbro stole their thunder.
>>11212535>Hasbro, Mondo, different companies, dumb fuck.Those companies are all licensed through Sony, specifically their Ghost Corps department. The people at Ghost Corps should have been smarter than to allow both of these things to happen at the same time.
>>11212543>DURRRRR>DEY'RE LOICESED TRU DA SAME BRAND!>DAT MEANS DEY KNEW EBRYTING DA UDDER COMPANEE IS DOING!!>DURRRRR!!!Yeah, I'm sure they attend each others meetings, and I'm sure Hasbro actually gives a fuck.
>>11212531mondo said these preorder windows are supposed to be very long and they offer payment plansit will probably be alright
>>11212701Are you retarded? Ghost Corps is always involved with the Haslabs and would know when it was happening. They could have easily stipulated Mondo wait six months before doing this.>and I'm sure Hasbro actually gives a fuck.Given the amount of comments I've seen across multiple forums, YouTube, etc. from people saying they'd be interested in the Ecto if not for the Mondo RGBs they sure as fuck should.
>>11212508>$100 for this Crack smokers
>>11212850Clearly, YOU are the retarded one>They could have easily stipulated Mondo wait six months before doing this.Show me where in their contract they have the power to do so. Oh, wait, you're pulling this all out of your ass. Mondo isn't and shouldn't sit on their investment AND the fact that their license doesn't last forever for whatever Hasbro wants to fucking do.>Reeeeeeeee Ghost Corps GHOST CORPS!!!!!!IF Ghost Corps cared SO fucking much, why'd they license out to more than one company that could conflict with another company's timing on when they put product out? You are a goddamn retard, shut the ever living fuck up.
>>11213035>Show me where in their contract they have the power to do so.Every contract for anything has start dates dumbfuck. Mondo wants to make high priced 6" figures? Okay, we'll give you the license to start selling them effective 2/1/2025. You're free to start developing them prior, but cannot solicit them before the effective start date. This ensures sales from either thing aren't cannibalizing each other, since they're trying to sell to the same market of people (6" Ghostbuster action figure collectors).>IF Ghost Corps cared SO fucking muchThat's literally the entire point. Ghost Corps is just carelessly licensing shit without any consideration of timing. They don't care, they just want those licensing checks immediately, but in the process they're doing a disservice to their partners and not setting up the products to succeed.
>>11213193>Every contract for anything has start dates dumbfuck.Okay, you gaslighting dumbfuck. They have "start dates" of when your contract begins, not when you're allowed to release what you work on. >see muh pic of someone else whining as if it helps muh dumb argumentGod, you're so fucking retarded>Okay, we'll give you the license to start selling them effective 2/1/2025. Okay, BUT THEY DIDN'T. You keep arguing (whining, crying, bitching) about HYPOTHETICALS that you're SPECULATING exists and name-calling because you literally have nothing else. >That's literally the entire point. Ghost Corps is just carelessly licensing shit without any consideration of timing. They don't careThen why the FUCK do you keep @'ing me with your fucking ridiculous navel-gazing insistence on what you THINK is in the fucking contracts? Just shut the ever living fuck UP you goddamn autistic faggot! You're arguing in goddamn circles!>they PLANNED it!>they should have been smarter!>they're ALWAYS INVOLVED>they COULD have stipulated>erm start dates dumbfuck!>they don't care! WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHYou're just an ass-pulling bitch boy. You're just a crybaby poorfag who's angry he can't buy both Hasbro and Mondo's stuff at the same time. Ask your mommy to buy the generic brand of dinosaur nuggies (or even try the non-dinosaur brands) to save up a few bucks to buy your toys. You don't know how jack shit works, and no, Ghost Corps cannot dictate when Mondo opens their preorder for their figures, Mondo would never have accepted that kind of contract you stupid fucking child. Quit saying what's in it unless you have a copy to show everyone, you ass-pulling faggot.
>>11213286>Okay, you gaslighting dumbfuck. They have "start dates" of when your contract begins, not when you're allowed to release what you work on.Literally the same thing. Just because you sign a contract on October 26th doesn't mean it begins on October 26th. Hasbro signed their contract to release Power Rangers toys over a year before it went into effect.
>>11212943Blame Sony. They're the ones making it so hard for Mondo to charge a smaller price.
>>11213286Why are you so mad? Like holy shit anon, change your tampon and calm the fuck down. Sony/Ghost Corps absolutely has the power to dictate the terms of their licenses, and they also have to give approval before a product can be released. I personally don't give a fuck about cartoon shit, but there are people who would like to buy both the Ecto and RGB figures and feel like they have to choose. ThatIt's not good for business.>>11213406>Blame Sony. They're the ones making it so hard for Mondo to charge a smaller price.Bullshit. The Ghostbuster Haslabs have been a significantly better value than all the Disney shit, so Sony's licening costs must be reasonable. Mondo's price gouging is Super7 on steroids.
>>11213421you don't buy toys either way chungusfurry
>>11213193>Ghost Corps is just carelessly licensing shit without any consideration of timing.actually, it's not careless, because they ensure no other license steps on another licensee's foot.So a licensor ensures regions and markets are protected. Licensees pay money to produce toys for specific regions and for a specific scale. They also pay money for a specific market, like the collector's or children's market. Obviously, a licensee can pay for multiple markets and multiple regions if they wanted to, and the licensor enforces that too. How do they enforce that? By holding the licensee to the letter of their license, where they pay penalties and/or sued, which the licensee agrees to when signing the contracts.Here's what you two don't seem to understand. Your perspective is purely from a consumer stand point. You see Hasbro and Mondo releasing rivaling products. Both Mondo and Hasbro don't see each other as rivals because they're selling to two different markets. If either of them actually saw it as such, they would have paid the money for multiple markets/regions/whatever to prevent the other company from releasing their own product.So when they have their order dates at similar times, they're doing it purely from their own perspective, which is likely "Christmas is almost coming, we better get people ordering shit before their waste their money during the Christmas shopping season." Maybe Hasbro is also thinking it's free-money time to increase revenue before the financial year ends and make shareholders happy. And Sony really has no say in when a company should make orders available, because they're not a toy company and don't know when production is going to happen. So when these companies get a license, they're planning shit out to release the product within a specific time frame and are going to get the license to make that toy within that time frame. So the toy company can release/sell that product at anytime within that time.
>>11213398>Just because you sign a contract on October 26th doesn't mean it begins on October 26th.1) I never said it did2) HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO THE BULLSHIT YOU'VE BEEN SPEWING?????? It fucking doesn't. SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. The two do not correlate you absolute midwit.
>>11213417>Why are you so mad? Like holy shit anon, change your tampon and calm the fuck down.You sound like you were raised by lesbian mommies. How pitiful.>Sony/Ghost Corps absolutely has the power to dictate the terms of their licenses, What the FUCK does that have to do with whats being discussed you low IQ retard??? They CAN. Okay....DID THEY? Nobody is arguing they can't dictate terms, the other retard is insisted that terms were agreed to with ZERO evidence that's true. Why are you so unbearably fucking stupid???? YES, every fucking company can dictate terms, and the licensee can say NO and then no contract gets signed. It takes TWO parties (minimum) to agree to a fucking contract. NOBODY is going to arbitrarily run out their contract based on what Hasbro is fucking doing. NOTHING has been demonstrated to show any of your hypothetical bullshit is in play. You're all pulling shit out of your gay asses then screaming about what CAN be done when I'm talking about what HAS been done. You're all fucking hysterical retards. If I'm "mad", it's because you're fucking stupid and you're @'ing me with your imbecilic bullshit speculation.>and they also have to give approval before a product can be released. Okay dumbfuck, AGAIN what the FUCK does this have to do with what we're actually discussing??????? Has Ghost Corps REFUSED a 1/12 Ecto-1? Has Ghost Corps REFUSED RGB figures? NO, they fucking HAVEN'T, so what the FUCK is your GODDAMN point??? Holy Fucking SHIT you're retarded! Fucking morons!
>>11213473You're having a complete meltdown over someone thinking the Haslab funding at the same time as the Mondo pre-orders is poorly planned.
>>11213574You're mistaking me for the other guy. IDGAF that both are funding at the same time. If I'm having a "meltdown" it's because of how insanely stupid you children are. And here, yet again, you low IQ dimwits @'ed me with the wrong stupid shit. I literally cannot believe how stupid you children are, it's fucking sad and insane at the same time.IF you think I'm "mad" or "melting down", tomorrow is a new day, and I'll not even be thinking about this shit, meanwhile, you're still going to be the same retards with poor critical thinking skills and grade-school reading comprehension skills. All of your insults are for naught, because you're still fucking retarded.
>>11213581>low IQ>@'ed meWe're not on Instagram faggot.
>>11213583The world will be a better place without you in it. You know I'm right.
Why are you fags so fucking pissed all the timeNobody has any chill anymore.
If Mondo are 200+ dollars they better give me a few months between releases because holy shit.
>>11213593>HELP ME MOMMY!!!!!>4CHINZ IS FULL OF ANGRY PEOPLES!>I NEED A SAFE SPAAAAAACEE!!Why are you even here, child? Go back to plebbit.
>>11213594>they better give me a few months between releases It's all about (((you))), isn't it?
>>11213597Yes, everybody else can go fuck themselves, I only care about my ability to comfortably buy things.>>11213596Based.
so is this thing on track to get funded or nah?
>>11213855It's on the same trajectory as the Proton Pack, but if it continues on that trajectory the early bird Tully won't be reached, and that could kill the whole campaign. The Ghost Rider car tanked when the early bird figure wasn't reached.
The only reason I haven't put in my order yet is because shipping is $28, yet Pulse Premium is $50, and I can't decide what to do. Do you guys think a year of Pulse Premium is worth the extra $22?
>>11213875not really pulse gets pretty much all their products last, the only benefit to premium is for things exclusive to pulse, if you collect a lot of their lines maybe it’s worth it but there’s only a handful of pulse exclusives a year
>>11213928The biggest draw for me is Pulse Premium getting bigger discounts when they have sales. In June they had one where Pulse Premium got 35% off compared to 15% for non-premium members. Though they don't have any Ghostbusters stuff on the horizon beyond this Haslab, and they offloaded Power Rangers on Playmates, so the only other things I collect from them are Transformers (G1 characters specifically, which rarely seem to last until the sales) and an occasional Marvel Legend (usually for custom fodder like pic related).
>>11213862the difference is the ecto 1 is way more popular than the ghost rider carit will probably still succeed, though this will definitely have a negative effect
>>11214024>the difference is the ecto 1 is way more popular than the ghost rider carBut Marvel Legends are way more popular than Plasma Series.
>>11214189Marvel Legends and Marvel by proxy has a billion toys to enjoy. Ghostbusters does not.
>>11214190Now many cars do they have?
>>11197166Am poorfag, never used haslab before. Can I use Paypal pay in 4 or any form or payment plan?
>>11214024>the ecto 1 is way more popular than the ghost rider carTruth>>11214189>But Marvel Legends are way more popular than Plasma Series.Spoken by someone who doesn't grasp the situation. How many ML wind up at deep discount? ML spams the marketplace with SO many releases per quarter its insane. The collectors are very fragmented, some only collect MCU, some only collect comic versions, some collect only specific comic eras, etc. The Ghost Rider car is a new version of GR where the readership is SO low they don't even publish sales numbers any more. Actual readers who are familiar with that version of GR were probably fewer than the numbers needed to fund. From there, you have a $350 bundle, and from there you have a large car taking up a ton of display space. You have to care enough to want it, have enough to buy it, and find room to display it. As a Marvel fan and a ML collector, I skipped it because IDGAF about any of their modern stuff. If I have to break down how much more vastly popular the Ecto-1 is, then that's just sad and you should wait until you grow some pubes before you post here. It's a damned shame the Plasma series didn't do better, BUT Hasbro didn't do much to support it for the classics, and not many people care about the modern GB and the GB kiddies.
>>11214230I don't read Marvel comics and I know who Robbie Reyes is and the car because they were in Agents of Shield for a full season. The car could also double for Blade's.
>>11214203Ghostbusters has one of the most famous cars in history.
>>11214233Okay, so? I knew who Robbie Reyes was in the comics from the marketing, and I also knew him from AoS, but here's the kicker: I DON'T CARE. You know who the Teletubbies are, don't you? Knowing and CARING enough to part with cold hard cash are two completely different things you autistic retard.>hurrrr da $350 car can also go wif BLADE!Um, okay? Apparently not enough people gave enough of a shit to give their Blade dolly a vroom vroom toy?Fucking dimwit.
>>11214240And the Plasma Series is a dead line. No figures in 3 years. The new movie didn't even get any. Asking people to spend $400 on a centerpiece for a dead line, then yanking away one of the incentive figures for not reaching the early bird goal sounds like a winning formula.>>11214242>Apparently not enough people gave enough of a shit to give their Blade dolly a vroom vroom toy?But they do to give their Ghostbuster dollies one in a line that will never get another figure? All that GB2 stuff it comes with, yet there will never be a Vigo or Scoleri Bros to use them with.
I mean I don't even have any Plasma series figures and I'm tempted by the Ecto-1
>>11214288sameif I get it I am going to use this for the mezco ghostbustersI think hasbro's retail toys are almost all shit but these haslab vehicles they do are all pretty nice and worth considering for better toys to use them
>>11214254>in a line that will never get another figure?People said that after the previous wave, and before that. And remember when GB was, like, TOTALLY finished FOREVER after Mattel? Nevermind the old Mattel collectors with a full collection of figures already that don't really need more. Yeah, okay kid. I'm not sure how you make it through life being so retarded.
>>11214334>Nevermind the old Mattel collectors with a full collection of figures already that don't really need more.There was no version of Janine, no Janosz, no GB Tully, no normal Dana (and the Zuul Dana they made was hot garbage), no Oscar, and no Gozer or Terror Dogs from Mattel. That's not a full collection for either movie. Also don't assume the people who bought that line are still buying figures and care about this Haslab, that was over a decade ago. The Mattel line was also a nightmare to collect. It was online exclusive with limited availability windows where you had to battle a barely functional website being slammed by scalpers. It wasn't accessible to casual buyers and had very low sale numbers. In order for this Haslab to succeed it needs more than people who bought an obscure line from a different company a decade ago. It needs to attract newcomers. And why should a newcomer have any interest in buying a GB2 car with GB2 figures when there will never be a GB ghost made? Or when a highly desirable character will be taken off the table in a week for failing to hit the earlybird? You might say just back the GB1 version then, but the GB1 figures were released over 3 years ago and aren't available anymore. If Hasbro wanted to help the sales of this the least they could do is put up a pre-order for a reissue of the GB1 guys, and the fact that they aren't is proof that the Plasma Series has no future beyond this Haslab. When the Tully goal isn't reached the entire thing will come crashing down.
10/27 stream. No new info, no decent questions asked, just pure shilling.https://youtu.be/70HJMtOWpk0?t=2512&feature=shared
>>11214385>AUTISM LEVELS: OFF THE CHARTS!!!God, just fuck OFF already!>>11214406>No new info, no decent questions asked, just pure shilling.kek. First time? Babby's first PulseCommercial?
>>11214423We'll see how hard you kek when the campaign fails like Kamala's presidency because they refuse to answer a real question.
>>11214385I don't think as many people care about tully as you think, it will probably not cause enough distress to prevent this from fundingthat said this is not going to fund until the final few days either way, best case. its simply not a high demand item, the early bird was a mistake and hasbro overestimated demand
>>11214445>because they refuse to answer a real question.What question do you still NEED about the Haslab? Last important question I saw was answered, that the stickers will be removable. I don't have any burning questions and I'll be backing it. I expect it to fund, not sure if we'll get Tully. As for Harris, yes I'll be kek'ing HARD when she fails.
>>11214475>What question do you still NEED about the Haslab? There are questions relevant to potential consumers.>Do you have any plans to reissue the GB1 guys for those who want the GB1 Ecto but missed them?>A GB2 car and figures is nice, but we have no GB2 ghosts to go with them, do you have any plans to release some in the future if this Haslab is successful? Saying yes to either of those helps sell this Haslab. Hasbro won't answer those questions though because the line is dead after this, and they don't want people to know it's dead as that will impact sales. Someone needs to put them in the hot seat and force them to respond. A lot of naive people are buying into this thinking it's the resurgence of the Plasma Series. They have a right to know that this is a special one time thing and no future figures will come.>Last important question I saw was answered, that the stickers will be removable.They've danced around this. They said the decals would be outright removable at NYCC. Then they said removable at least 5, up to 10 times in their instagram Q&A video. Now most recently in the 1027 video they said up to 5 times. The flip floppyness is deceptive and not helping sell their product.
>>11214538Good questions, but not NEEDED.>Do you have any plans to reissue the GB1 guys for those who want the GB1 Ecto but missed them?Never seen anyone ask this. Most fans didn't "miss" them, we all had a shot, and they were easy to come by for quite awhile. >A GB2 car and figures is nice, but we have no GB2 ghosts to go with them, do you have any plans to release some in the future if this Haslab is successful?When did the GB2 ghosts interact with the Ecto-1? Never. If you're desperate you can buy the Mattel versions. I'd LOVE to see the Plasma line continue and build out more, especially every single ghost from GB 1 & 2. But even with just whats out already, I feel more than happy getting an Ecto-1 to go with my collection that I already have instead of DEMANDING that dopamine hit of WHATS NEXT WHATS NEXT!?!?!?DECALS:>The flip floppyness is deceptive and not helping sell their product.They're a toy company, not an adhesives manufacturer. All "removeable" stickers loose stickyness with repeated removal. They cannot guarantee you when they will lose stickiness. Saying "5" is more like a food products "Best By" date of guaranteeing freshness, sure you should get some use past that. How many people are going to be repeatedly switching back & forth over and over and over? Besides, anyone with a lick of experience knows there are spray on adhesives like EasyTack that aren't permanent so your stickers will last forever and you can give a quick spray for your eightieth switch-over. This is such a non-issue that it's just a sticking point (kek) for the hysterical anxiety ridden beta bitches to whine about.
>>11214538>>11214564Furthermore, if they wanted to do an "Archive" series or simply do more waves of Plasma series and work in the original 4 GB's again in their original outfit, I'd be cool with that. Even if it was a BAF wave where I had to rebuy the core 4 again over 4 waves, I can use another set for another diorama, and more figures they haven't done yet is cool.
>>11214570Wave 2025 #1Egon (Ghostbuster Gear repack)Peter (Courtroom)Ray (Lab Coat)Winston (GB2 Sewer gear)Scolari Brother #1 with chairGhost Marathon RunnerBAF: Vigo the CarpathianWave 2025 #2Egon (Lab Coat)Peter (GB gear repack)Ray (GB2 sewer gear)Janine (GB1)Scolari Brother #2Taxi Driver GhostBAF: Ghost Janoz with Baby Carriage & Oscaretc, etc, rinse, repeat, get the lab coats, courtroom, sewer attire & etc but mix & match to keep it from getting boring, sprinkle in the rereleases of the first 4 GB1's, get a ton of ghosts out there.
>>11214564>When did the GB2 ghosts interact with the Ecto-1?When did the Ghostbusters interact with the Ecto-1 while wearing their dark suits? They're toys. If you're gonna make a GB2 car and figures you should have at least one damn GB2 ghost.
>>11214564>Most fans didn't "miss" them, we all had a shot, and they were easy to come by for quite awhile.They weren't desired figures at the time and a lot of people passed on them. Now that there's an Ecto-1 they are desired. Hasbro should've done this Haslab when the Plasma Series launched in 2020 and all the figures were actually available. Trying to do it after the line has been dead for 3 years is crazy.
>>11214628You can still buy every single Plasma Series figure, except for wave one Egon, Winston, and Dana, literally on clearance on places like BBTS.You can still even get the four original GBs, albeit with the slime splotches there.
>>11214718>You can still buy every single Plasma Series Ghostbuster, except for half of themThat's very helpful.
>>11214721You can still buy wave 2, which has all 4 OG GBs in it.
>>11214628>They weren't desired figures at the timeFucking COPE> a lot of people passed on them. Yeah, everyone agreed with YOU, right? Oh well, tough shit, nobody cares what you think or do anyway you little crybaby.>>11214721>REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!>IMMA IGNORE PART OF WHAT THIS GUY SAID JUST TO CRY ABOUT IT!!Wow, you really do have Selective Reading and ignore everything that you don't want to acknowledge. Sad.
>>11214738You can still buy them cause absolutely nobody wants a set of Ghostbusters with really badly painted slime slathered all over them. Mattel did a slimed Venkman that actually looked like slime. The Hasbro slimed Busters look like a kid scribbled on them with a marker.>>11214915>Fucking COPEFacts are cope now? They rotted and pegs and went to clearance. Nobody wanted them cause they looked like shit. There's a reason we haven't had any new figures in 3 years.
>>11214949>Nobody wanted them>NOBODEEEEEEE!!!>EBRYONE AGREES WIF MEEEE!!!God, can you just grow the fuck up and knock off the hyperbolic bullshit??? Your anecdotal faggotry doesn't cover that many people DID in fact buy them. One or more buyers means it wasn't "nobody" you histrionic faggot. You don't even know what the distribution numbers were but you still argue like a fucking child. They never rotted on pegs around me and I had to go online to get mine. >they looked like shit.Are you going to try to say that's a "fact" too, you little cunt? Just shut the fuck up already.
How long until you guy's PMS is finishedSounds like its pretty roughPraying for you.
>>11214949Howcome you don't buy toys?
>>11214949>You can still buy them cause absolutely nobody wants a set of Ghostbusters with really badly painted slime slathered all over them.People were asking why don't they re-release the figures, and I'm simply saying that they released 3 waves in the Plasma series, and you can still buy two and a half of those waves for less than retail. The slimed figures suck, sure, and it isn't ideal, I'm just saying that there's a way to get all four OG GBs in at least SOME capacity. Similarly, you can get Ray and Peter for like, 40% off or whatever. With how cheap they are, you can probably buy Winston and Egon off eBay or elsewhere, and even at their markup, probably still get all four wave 1 OG GBs for around retail anyway.Besides, its always strange to me that people, especially in the toy community, to think that companies should just always have the same toys in production indefinitely. Why on Earth would anyone think that Hasbro should re-release the Plasma series figures when nearly all of them are still available, and did or are mostly languishing in perpetual clearance?People aren't entitled to something from years ago, that they didn't want then, but now want because something new in that line came out, and now people are sad they missed out. Just suck it up and pay the 2x markup on ebay for Egon or whatever if you really want them so bad., or settle for the lesser, wave 2 versions.
>>11215042>People aren't entitled to something from years ago, that they didn't want then, but now want because something new in that line came out, and now people are sad they missed out. Ok sure. But don’t expect them to back the haslab then. It really would take hasbro 0 effort to go “oh here is a limited time preorder-only run of the first wave of figures to coincide with the haslab”. The fact they are not doing it shows how inept they are at running these campaigns despite years of experience at it and it is one of the many reasons this thing is struggling to fund.
>>11215167Yeah, it really is a self own. They think the deluxe set coming with GB2 Busters is good enough, but this Haslab isn't just for the GB2 car. People are gonna want the GB1 figures to go with the GB1 car, and I see a ton of comments from people in a variety of places saying they can't get Egon for a reasonable price. It's a serious problem holding this thing back.
>>11214454>I don't think as many people care about tully as you thinkThe existing Tully is the most scalped figure in the Plasma Series, selling in the $150 range these days. Not getting him will absolutely be a blow to this Haslab.
>>11215205Even as someone who likes GB2, the grey suits are barely in the movie. They are not an adequate replacement at all.
>>11215205>It's a serious problem holding this thing back.It's not, you just want to claim everyone agrees with your opinion. I feel its safe to say they sold 12000 Egon's from wave 1 upon first release to the people who'd be willing to drop $300+ on an Ecto-1. How many cases do we even think were made to begin with?I'm sick as shit of the constantly negative SKY IS FALLING bullshit from you where every fucking thing is wrong and negative and "everyone agrees with me" retardation. You can get a goddamn Egon. If you're dropping $300+ on a car, chances are you already HAVE afucking Egon, and if you're the rare motherfucker who doesn't, then you should be willing to spend a bit more on an Egon if you're willing to spend on the fucking car. Just shut the fuck UP already, you're the most miserable motherfucker to post here where every goddamn thing is wrong and bad for you. Fuck off already. Your constant crying is fucking obnoxious.
>>11215167Shut. The. Fuck. Up. You HAD your fucking chance, you can still GET the goddamn figures, you should have been buying from the fucking start if its such a goddamn hardship for you. Why does HASBRO owe you the chance to get what you missed? Are you the same salty fucking crybaby crying on one side how much they sucked then crying about how you wish they'd offer them again? Shut the fuck up.
>>11215263>They are not an adequate replacement at all.They are a supplement, not a replacement. Quit asking Hasbro to cradle your balls while they coddle you.
>>11215224>The existing Tully is the most scalped figure in the Plasma Series, selling in the $150 range these days.Sweet! Maybe I should sell mine!I don't think Tully is going to happen. But I don't think people are going to cancel in droves over it, maybe a few, but overall this thing is still going to fund. We're over 7,300, 5 more days for Tully so we'll see.
>>11215345>It's notHas it funded? Is it even on track to hit the early bird? The answer to both is no.
>>11215358>Doom and Gloom faggot responds WITH CHARTIt WILL fund, but Tully is up in the air, I don't think it will. But you're constantly whining about how it's not soaring like a rocket because (((you))) don't have Egon in your sweaty palms. Every Haslab has a rush at the end. Every Haslab is different. Not everyone is terminally online and follows this shit like you do. I thought from the moment they announced Tully that he wasn't going to happen and I bought my 2 cars anyway. Bidenomics are a problem for a lot of people. But you keep thinking EVERYTHING revolves around YOU. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Already.
>>11215347calm down the point is if you want people who didn’t buy those figures to back it, making them available is not a bad idea it’s not my fault your project is struggling
>>11215349Cradling my balls is the least they could do if they’re going to fuck my ass with a $400 ecto with stickers.
>>11215387>if you want people who didn’t buy those figures to back itIf they didn't buy $20 figures, they probably aren't buying a $300+ car. And as it's been pointed out too many times by now, it's not difficult to get the original 4.>your project is strugglingIt's over half funded barely a week in, with over a month left to go. You really are retarded, aren't you?> if they’re going to fuck my ass with a $400 ecto with stickers.REEEEE STICKAAARRRRRRSSSSSOh yeah, you're the sweaty hamfisted no-Egon, no wonder stickers are a challenge to you.
>>11215396calm down
>>11215378>It WILL fund, but Tully is up in the airLook at the chart and what happened when the Ghost Rider earlybird didn't get reached. It was steadily going up and then just dropped off and never recovered. Instead of learning a lesson and NOT doing an earlybird again, stupid Hasbro thought the solution was to extend the earlybird window for this to two weeks instead of the one week Ghost Rider got. They were wrong, as it is very clearly not going to get funded by Saturday with things having slowed down to under 300 backers a day. The 1027 stream yesterday was the last chance to create a much needed surge before the earlybird window ends, and all they did with it was tell us shit we already knew which didn't move the needle at all. The missed earlybird figure will absolutely kill this Haslab. Many people will cancel, and it won't regain traction.>because (((you))) don't have Egon in your sweaty palms.I have every Plasma Series figure and every Mattycollector figure except the Rookie. I've even gone further as to buying duplicates of many figures and making customs. This isn't about me. It will take more than me buying 5 Ectos to fund this. Leave your safe space and read comments from around the web. Not having a readily available FULL set of GB1 busters is a serious problem for a lot of interested parties.
>>11215477>Look at the chart>LOOK AT THE CHART!!!>LOOOOOK AT THE CHAAARRRRTTTTT!!!Yeah, not reading any of your bullshit navel gazing. The Ecto-1 is the Ecto-1. It's not a GI Joe toy, it's not a prop replica, it's its own unique thing.I literally do not care what you anonymous pointless pontificators want to fart huff about. I've been right about EVERY Haslab so far on whether it will fund or not. Sure, I could be wrong about this one, but I don't think I am. I ultimately DO NOT CARE about your screechings. I backed my own, it either will or will not fund, I'm not wasting my time reading your pitiful attempt to interpret someone else's chart to fit what (you) want to argue. We'll find out about Tully in a few more days, I'm going to continue living my life regardless. You typed out your shit for nothing.
>>11215486Funny how whenever someone is proven wrong they didn't read the post doing so. They're sure to reply though and let you know they didn't read it. I accept your concession.
>>11215553>I accept your concession.Repetitive troll is repetitive. You use this line in SO many threads after trolling your usual faggotry. I accept your retardation as something you just can't help. Enjoy your final (you), faggot.
Pre-Orders going up tomorrow at 1PM EST. $202. Standard release with just Peter is $101.
>>11215720I think im gonna cancel the ecto-1 and get these instead
>>11215720>exclusive accessories include an entire figurewait can we just get the ghostbusters then?
>>11215774Yeah thats what they said the plan is. I think I'm only going to go in on 1 ghost, I really don't need 4 of them... Just gotta decide which one.
>>11215720Fucked up how this not being Super7 ended up being more expensive for something that would look and be put together the exact same wayI guess these will have better QC and not break? No loose hips?
>>11215781Unlike S7 Mondo understands that if you charge a premium price you need to live up to that premium accordingly. The prices are high but whenever they fuck up, they fix things, no questions asked. For example everyone who bought the x-men rogue had misaligned eyes, they all got replacement heads for free, and a lot of them got entire new bodies because they fucked up the QC and owned it. They had a issue with the last he-man they made too having a torso that popped apart and similarly sent out entire new bodies to people who had problems. Personally, my Panthor was missing one of the pieces to connect his horns to his helmet, they sent it out the same day I emailed them about it. Basically, even if these are fucked up don't worry about it because Mondo is a serious company unlike S7.
>>11215720Ugh, all I want is Sam Hain and the other ghosts, I don't give a fuck about toonbusters.
>>11215720>Pre-Orders going up tomorrowRIP Haslab.
>>11215602Sorry, I didn't read your post as your concession had already been accepted.
>>11215935Why would that affect the Haslab?
>>11215960you don't think 2 expensive ghostbusters preorders at the same time are going to cannibalize each others sales? even a little? I mean I don't think this is going to crush the haslab but its definitely going to take some sales away, there's no way it won't. Just like how there's probably people who would like to get these but will choose to get the haslab instead. Its just not great timing.
>>11215720One head is the coulier version and the other one is the music one.
>>11215969this anon>>11215760 is already doing it. im joining him too. i would love the car but i dont have anywhere to display it so ill get these instead.
>>11215720>no option to just buy SamhainI guess I'm stuck with this shitty thing forever.
101 dollars per figure is such a weirdly specific amount that I have to wonder if the license requires them to be over 100 dollars
>>11216513I suspect that is true, Mondo has already said their 1/12 MOTU figures will be cheaper than this which means there is something going on with the licensing to make them charge this much.
Was hopping for free shipping but man $33
What the fuck is this shipping from MondoThis is fucking horse shit. With tax its gonna be like a fucking grand to get all of the figures.
>>11216969https://x.com/MondoNews/status/1851346302249914683Free shipping for big figures only because uhh
If you just want Peter you can get him from BBTS or EE without getting reamed on shipping.
>>11217104I wish you could both separately. I'd almost prefer getting just the ghosts.But I can't bring myself to pay 100 bucks for a six inch figure so I guess it doesn't matter.
>>11216998Lol keep dreaming Mondo.
>>11216513Rumor is that Mondo has to license the rights through Hasbro since they have the master GB license.
>>11215720Well I ordered mine. I know these are way over-priced but I have wanted this line for almost 40 years. I doubt I will go far outsides the first four 2 packs. Yes I know. I am an idiot.The shipping is really annoying. The 2 pack is almost the same price as a 1/6 figure so the 'no free shipping' is ludicrous.
>>11217404I don't blame you anon. If RGB was my thing this would be a dream line. Thankfully I'm firmly a movie guy, so my wallet is safe from Mondo's anal rape.
>>11217395Doesn't excuse the shipping >>11217404Same, and once Boogieman goes up I see a lot more people folding
>>11213862Where are we tracking right now? The campaign is at 8k right now, it still has about a week to get up to 12k for the full unlock.
>>11217894>about a weekIt has until the end of Saturday. It needed a thousand a day for these last four days to reach the goal. It's only at 8126 right now. It ain't happening.
>>11217906Too bad. At least it's tracking slightly better than the proton pack though.
Apparently Mondo is going to offer free shipping on the RGB for domestic customers after all. Will make ordering the two packs a bit less painful, though you can still likely get the single figures cheaper elsewhere.
>>11217404Thankfully they're upgrading everyone to free shipping which cuts off 30 bucks. Not a huge reduction, but still a nice one. I'm in the same boat that we likely won't get better figures than this for RGB so I'm in. Thankfully the only ghosts I care about in the 2 packs with the GB's are Sam and Boogie. Sandman and the ghost with Ray I don't care about. Sandman is cool but not 100 dollars cool. Sam Hain and Boogie? Yeah they're worth it to me. They said give them 48 hours or so to get the price reduction/refund back to people.
Extreme Ghostbusters would make me go all in though >>11217991 but otherwise I'm with them
>>11215805>they all got replacement heads for freeTrue, unlike S7 and their GI Joe Ultimate wave 2 with the missing flesh tone paint that they refused to fix. I love a lot of S7's product, but God are they shitty hucksters to deal with, and they refuse to right any wrongs.
>>11216513>the license requires them to be over 100 dollars>>11217395>Mondo has to license the rights through HasbroYup, this. Remember, when they first showed these off they estimated the 2-pack would be 80-90, little more than NECA but still in range. The price is absurd, but I really wouldn't expect Hasbro to come close on quality if they decided to do RGB. Fucking sucks that we the fans have to get gouged so bad.
>>11217906>AUTISTIC CHART!Oh for fuck's sake...
>>11217991>They said give them 48 hours or so to get the price reduction/refund back to people.That's great and the least they could do. God, I wanted this line SO BAD but $101 per figure is just insane! I'd bet that the final two ghosts will wind up being the rarest after everything is said and done. I've already decided I don't want a $101 Janine.I never got the DST versions, I kind of regretted that but the sculpts never really wowed me.I view this as the Swan Song for RGB, nothing will ever be better AND cheaper, Hasbro may do their own cheaper line in the future but it'll be meh. The fact these are being spread out helps and I'm thinking I want to either go all in or avoid entirely, but I want that Boogie.
So Attack Peter from Mondo said the RGB figure set (even with the shipping "problem") has been selling amazingly. The numbers he couldn't share, but he did say that it's brought in "almost 50% new customers".
>>11218142I have the Selects and there's a charm to them but they're off. For one the bodies are just the movie Selects GBs with cartoon heads and packs. The heads are also not spot on which gives them this creepy or offputting look. Ray for instance looks like a creepy bastard. That said they do fit the spectral GB's they released later since they look off yet familiar. So don't feel too torn up you missed out on the Selects. Their sculpt and articulation aren't anything to write home about. I can't quite tell from promo images but as long as their elbow range is better than the Selects I'll be happy. I don't need Spider-Man range, but I would like them to be able to scratch their head or reach back for their wand. These Mondos are expensive and I straight up know they're worth far less, but as far as my childhood this was it. So I'll be grabbing Pete+Sam, Egon+Boogie, solo Winston and solo Ray. I don't really need a Janine. Having mentioned Selects Spectral GB's I wager Mondo is going to make them at some point too and I'll really be tempted to go in on them, but I'm far less likely to bite. Especially since I can use the Selects if I really wanted a display even though they'd be good bit bigger.
>>11217906Is this factoring in the usual surge in the final hours? That's when international orders and retailers get counted, right? Not saying it'll make it but I know every crowd funded thing I've kept an eye on has had surges in the final day or so.
>>11218142Also forgot to mention that yeah I bet Sandman and Gash will be rare after the fact. I wouldn't order the two packs just to sell them later, but it potentially could cover some of the cost. I'm just going with solo Winston/Ray though. Another bright side to the solo releases is you can grab them from some other seller if you choose instead of Mondo.
>>11218199>spectral GB'sHasbro missed a golden opportunity with those glow in the dark figures. If they had been Spectral GBs they'd have been highly desireable figures. Someone made a custom set using the Mattycollector figures back in the day.
>>11218201The surge happens on the final day of a campaign, not the final day of an earlybird. But yes, you're right about big orders coming in at the end from retailers and such, and that's another reason why these earlybirds are a bad idea.
>>11218255Hasbro really wasted the license as far as figures go. They didn't even do lazy stuff like make repainted spectral or RGB colored variants. Which may have actually sold ok. Not making ghosts was a shame too. So while Mondo is charging more than I'd like, they're also giving me what I've wanted for years. I don't normally buy such expensive items either so while I'm annoyed by the price, I also don't mind cutting back on my hobbies a bit to fit these in. I started saving well in advance especially with Christmas around the corner.
>>11218500>They didn't even do lazy stuff like make repainted spectral or RGB colored variants.Not doing the dark GB2 suits was the most no brainer thing to miss. Sure, they're rectifying that now, but the fact that they're being bundled in a deluxe Haslab for next to nothing is crazy when they would have easily carried a retail wave at $25 a pop. It's pretty much impossible to do a GB2 wave now as a result, which is kind of needed for Vigo, Scoleri Bros, etc. Sure, you could do the khaki GB2 suits, but that's very samey to what has already been released at retail twice now, and would likely pegwarm. If Hasbro had any plans to continue the Plasma Series this Haslab would have included the khaki GB2 suits, and the more desireable dark ones would be in a retail wave.
WE'RE GETTING TULLY!!!!!!!!HE'S NO LONGER TIED AS A 2-WEEK EXCLUSIVE!!!!!>Trick or Tully…>It's Halloween, Ghostbusters fans! Would you like a trick or a treat today? Venkman would prefer we play a trick because it’s more cost effective. The rest of the team? Well, you’re in for a very, very special treat. In the spirit of giving, we’ve decided that if the Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile (Anniversary Edition) HasLab funds successfully before the project closes, everyone who has backed either model will automatically receive our Plasma Series Louis Tully (Ghostbuster) action figure!>Don’t forget, Louis was born to wear this stuff, so let’s make sure we trap the 12,000 backers needed!
>>11218840As I predicted, Hasbro heel turned to avoid the negative impact of a failed earlybird. This pretty much kills their ability to offer an earlybird in the future, as no one will take it seriously after this.
>>11218867It’s for the best. There is no fucking reason hasbro needs these projects funded early and they should stop doing them.
>>11218867Who cares?
>>11218987>Who cares?This is another public embarrassment for Hasbro, so I'd say they probably care. It's not a good look when you say "if you do X by Y we'll give you Z", only to backtrack and say "okay okay, we'll give you Z regardless, please back our product."
>>11219113somehow I expect this backsliding as people pulled out due to losing tully would have been more embarrassing
>>11219113It's fine Nobody will remember after a year except autistic people
>>11218867You just NEVER shut the fuck up, do you, you whiny little bitch? Nobody fucking cares about your narcissistic bullshit, and you don't speak for anyone but yourself.Why don't you go LARP Ghostbusters and become a ghost.
>>11219130It was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. They made the right call by getting ahead of it rather than letting the earlybird fail and THEN heel turning when people cancel, but it still hurts their credibility, and they'll never be able to do another earlybird after this. "Fund X in two weeks to get Y, this time we really mean it!"They could have saved themselves the embarrassment if they had just set realistic expectations. 12k in two weeks was never going to happen for something like this. If they had made the earlybird goal reaching 50%, or even 75% , they would have hit it and not had to destroy their credibility going forward.
>>11218840I should be happy that Tully is a lock now, but I was kind of looking forward to seeing Hasbro scramble to try to save this project after Saturday's deadline wasn't met and cancelations started pouring in. Oh well...
>>11218840I think the earlybird will still be damaging to the campaign. Yesterday my cousin messaged me asking if I thought there was any chance of Hasbro extending the Tully window hours after their announcement. I myself only found out when someone posted about it here. Hasbro sent me an email about it, but I never opened it because I assumed it was standard promotional bullshit. I had also checked the product page for backer numbers, but didn't scroll down to see the update stating Tully will be included now. This whole thing is a needless marketing clusterfuck.
>>11219286I get their logic: since things like this are "big numbers at start, huge lull period, surge at end", Early Birds are a way to inflate the start numbers and get more people interested ("look, it's a guarantee!"). But it's still causing customers to think that if it doesn't happen then they're getting less product-- in a hobby that is increasingly facing consumers looking at how much they're spending on what.
>>11219820>But it's still causing customers to think that if it doesn't happen then they're getting less productBecause they are. Every one of these stretch goals and early birds is clearly baked into the initial price. And the fact is its just unrealistic to expect these things to fund early at all, they are blinded by the huge success of outliers like the sentinel and the hiss tank. It doesn't matter it doesn't charge until the end of the campaign because that is not why so many buyers hesitate, they are trying to rationalize the giant $400 chunk of plastic that is going to take up an entire shelf, and trying to rationalize it to their wives. A huge amount of orders for these things are also simply FOMO that doesn't truly kick in until the final days for some people.
>>11222434This Ecto campaign nearly got it right. Not having the uncertainty of stretch goals is a plus, but then it had the uncertainty of the early bird Tully. Even though they've removed that uncertainty now, I wonder how many people didn't immediately back this because of that uncertainty, and have since lost interest or decided to spend their money on other things. They may not even be aware Hasbro ended up including Tully for all regardless. I wish they would just put their best foot forward from the jump. This is what we're offering, this is what we're asking, all or nothing.
Things have really slowed down. Only 49 yesterday. At that rate it fails to fund by over 1700. I know these things typically surge at the end, but I worry a bit that because of the early bird people who would have normally waited went in immediately, and there won't be enough of a final day surge to push it across the finish line.
>>11223140It’s going to fund, no doubt about it, Hasbro will fudge the numbers if they really have to.
>>11223170>Hasbro will fudge the numbers if they really have to.They didn't when the Rancor barely missed it.
>>11223232This seems much farther along than the Rancor though
>>11223170You say that every HasLab
>>11223369To be fair the Ecto-1 has had an overwhelmingly positive reception, so there would be a lot of bad vibes if it ended up not being funded. Failures like the Rancor and Ghost Rider car were heavily maligned, so Hasbro was probably happy to let them fail and sweep them under the rug.
>>11223469>bad vibesyeah i'm sure all those customers boycotting further plasma series releases will really change hasbro's mindif this doesn't fund they're not going to bail it out, it will just mean ghostbusters is a license they will get rid of as soon as possible
>>11223540Meanwhile, with the $100 per figure also one of them is website exclusive Real Ghostbusters toys You can get $25 off if you order them today by the way
Mondo has a sale going on on their site. If you pre-order the 2-pack now, it'll come to $177.
>>11224386Huh, interesting. Are they not selling as well as they had hoped?
>>11224386Do they charge you now or when it ships?
>>11224390You literally have to just look at the post above the one you replied to
>8920 yesterday morning>8916 nowEctobros...
New >>11225990
>>11224386Annoyed that I bought them early and missed out. Oh well.
