Not the Ghostbusters statue I think most of us were expecting, this one is a bit more… gratuitous. Kotobukiya shocked everyone with a preview of this at the recent Toy Fairs. Let’s go over what I consider the pros and cons for this busty ‘buster.
Pros:
• Great coloring and pose.
• Screen accurate Proton Pack (besides one little thing I’ll get to in a second).
• This will definitely be a unique Ghostbusters collectible to turn heads.
Cons:
• Depending on your taste, this collectible may turn heads for the wrong reasons.
• The torn pants. I mean, I get it, but it still kinda bugs me.
• This is a “rookie” girl ‘buster. Part of me wishes they would’ve slapped some glasses on her and said it was Janine.
• The small innaccuracy I was talking about earlier… the hose to the Proton Gun is supposed to come out of the bottom right side of the Proton Pack (shown in the gallery below). Not the top right. Obviously they changed this so it woudln’t unterupt the view of her rump.
It looks as though this will be around $70, shipping in July. There are a few places to preorder it online. I’m sure I’ll break down and get one, but it probably won’t share the shelf space with my Matty toys.
