I have a love and hate relationship for Matty Mattel's Ghostbusters line.

It's a shame they canceled the line, because they could have done so much. I thought they charged way too much money for their 6 inch and 12 figures. $30 for a six inch figure (that comes with one or two accessories) and $70 to $80 for 12 inch figures. I could understand if these were Hot Toys or Sideshow Collectibles were the likeliness was spot on. I felt (especially Ray) their likeness was not at all that great. Also the tube that is suppose to connect to the proton pack just goes behind the pack.

I once voiced that they should list their Ghostbusters figures as limited editions. Because they didn't last long on their official site (the 6 inch and 12 inch figures would sell quickly), so you would have to go on ebaY and spend three times as much as you would buy it on their site. $40-$50 bucks, $30 if you were lucky or won a bid.

I was disappointed with The Real Ghostbusters line. Not only were they not in scale with the Ghostbusters figures but I really wanted a Boogie man or Sandman figure. We never got these figures as kids, I figured here's are chance.

Also I was tired of variations. I understand a lot of action figure companies do that with their figures. But they should have at least release two different figures, one variant and one a different character. We didn't even get a Janine Melnitz or Gozer figure.

NECA's Ghostbusters were really good. Shame it only lasted one series and Bill Murray didn't approve of the likeness.

I mean, I love, love Ghostbuster and are happy we finally got film based figures. But Matty was a poor choice. They made promises they can't keep and I feel they reall scum bagged everyone when they canceled their ECTO-1 subscription. I wish Diamond Select released some figures instead of statues, minmates and banks. It would be cool to have Ghostbusters figures with ghosts and bases.

Now, I have to go on ebaY and spend $40-$50 on figures that I could have got less when they were released.
