Mondo Teases New Real Ghostbusters Action Figures

At C2E2 today in Chicago, the Funko-owned toy company "Mondo" teased a new project related to The Real Ghostbusters during a panel. Mondo is best known for their statues, sofubi, action figures, posters, and more. There was immediate speculation about the nature of the unveiling. Last October, Alex Brewer, a sculptor for Mondo, showcased concept art for a potential Real Ghostbusters toy line.

In an interview today with Toy Anxiety, Mondo's Senior Creative Director, attackpeter, unveiled what the Real Ghostbusters project would entail. Peter explained that Mondo would be producing 6-1/2 inch scale fully articulated action figures based on The Real Ghostbusters designs by Alex Brewer. These designs, which were initially just a fan-made side project six months ago, will now be brought to life by Mondo.

Peter confirmed that the line would feature characters directly from The Real Ghostbusters animated series, with a strong emphasis on ghosts and accessories. Figures would primarily be released in Deluxe 2-Packs, each containing two figures and an assortment of accessories. While the price is not yet confirmed, Mondo and others have produced 2-Pack figures in the $80-$125 range. The success of this line will depend entirely on fan response and demand; if demand is high, more options may become available for future products. This line could potentially include action figures of iconic characters such as Sam Hain, The Bogeyman, and The Sandman, among others.

San Diego Comic-Con coverage continues with hands-down the biggest update yet, as Mondo just gave fans their first look at their upcoming 1/12 scale collectibles based on The Real Ghostbusters!

Being released as Mondo Exclusive Collectors Sets, these high-end figures will be sold in two-packs with a heap of extras,
Quote:
First, we’ve got Dr. Peter Venkman and Samain, each featuring swappable heads and hands. Additional pack-ins include a perfectly-sized Slimer with an ectoplasm-drench base, a removable Proton Pack with stream, and a captured Samhain sculpt, made to fit inside a Ghost Trap.
Quote:
Up next, there’s the brains of the team, Dr. Egon Spengler, who’ll come packaged with the Boogieman! Mirroring the previous set, there are swappable heads and hands, while Egon can also make use of his Proton Pack, trusty PKE Meter, and Ghost Grenade. There’s also the Blue Ghost seen in the show’s intro and another captured Ghost Trap sculpt.
Other than fearing the price tag on these, I so so so want them...

Those are high-end all right! It's too bad more collectibles don't look as nice as that, but yeah, anyone buying them will certainly pay for what they get. :roll: I won't be among them myself. Now, if there were EGB figures of this quality... but that's never going to happen. :(

Mondo unveil new Real Ghostbusters toys at NYCC
Quote:
This morning, Mondo held their panel at New York Comic Con, updating fans on the upcoming The Real Ghostbusters figures, as well, dropping reveals of both Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore, teasing pack-in fan favorite ghosts, and confirming plans for a Janine Melnitz.

As for the reveals, in the photos below taken by @preterniadotcom, while the figures are still early in development, as promised, the line will continue following the releases of Peter Venkman and Egon Spengler with Ray and Winston joining the team. Fans can expect accessories similar to those in the previously showcased sets and while the ghosts are blacked out, the silhouettes suggest Winston will be paired with the Sandman, while Ray will come packaged with Gash.

Set for quarterly releases, the pricing is expected to remain consistent, with a two-pack featuring a Ghostbuster and a ghost available for $202, while each hero figure will be sold separately for $101.

In addition to the Sandman and Gash, another big tease was the unmistakable silhouette of Janine Melnitz.

These things are too expensive for me, but damn, do they look awesome. If only the damn convenience store would stop selling me these losing Power Ball tickets... :P
