They could always switch it up by packing the single figures with display pieces or parts of a figure to build an exclusive Ghost. There would probably be those of us who would by the 2 pack line, and the single line just to get those extra pieces or exclusive ghost.
Maybe me being dumb here but if you’d be willing to buy the figures twice just to get extra pieces or exclusive figures, why wouldn’t you just buy the two packs which would be less expensive?

I'm still mulling. I know I definitely want a Boogieman or Samhain. Gah, wish they did a bundle of just the ghosts and Boogie.

That's really great news they're making a Janine figure, she deserves one.

Just before the 20 min mark, it was specified the pre-orders start in 2 weeks and it will be a long pre-order window.

It’s a promo shot that benefits from lighting but that sculpt looks just incredible.

YHS said Mondo put up multiple versions with exclusive accessories, and there’s another version that goes up later?
Does anybody familiar with how these preorders work know - is the initial collectors edition “everything” or do we need to wait a few weeks more for a definitive edition with extra exclusives?

I don't know what YHS meant but the 2 pack with buster and ghost is the deluxe edition with everything. Then just the single buster as well is offered. There won't be other editions from what I've read/heard. You have just the 2 choices.

It might be done differently in terms of how long the preorder is live but they usually offer both versions upfront. This is the case for their figure line based on Batman: The Animated Series. The deluxe version is a timed release. They recently did a 1/6 scale Poison Ivy. Both pre-orders started August 27 at 12 pm Central at Mondoshop.com. The window to get the Timed Edition (aka deluxe edition with everything) ended September 3 at 12 pm Central. The regular version is still up for pre-order. It's set to ship in February 2025. So in theory a good 5 months for the regular version but they only give 7/8 days for the deluxe. I don't think the RGB 2 pack will be timed.

They said these RGB packs will have a long pre-order window. So will it be similar to BTAS and the first release (Peter and Samhain) won't ship til March or April 2025? Or a shorter lead time like January 2025? Will it stay live until they run out of stock then that's it? Shrug. Idk. They usually post a blog entry giving all the details the day before. So we should have the info on Halloween if their statement of pre-orders going live 2 weeks from October 18 is correct.

That's cool they're doing a stream about it on Wednesday. Can't wait to see what they tease.

Orders start end of October 2024, collectors pack is timed edition available until November 26, ships in May 2025. Sounds about right based on their other offerings.

I hope selected countries includes the UK, and the pay monthly option is available worldwide.

Because if so easiest purchase I’ve ever made.

(And I hope Haslab throw in the Tully anyway for those backing
- but the state of their funding campaign isn’t on Mondo and the two week deadline is arbitrary. I’m not a plasma series collector, but I was turned off by product choices and how that campaign was handled. It is quite cynical how they inflated the price of the Ecto by including figures which presumably wouldn’t sell 12,000 in a standalone run, and whilst fan service accessories are nice they’re a minor consideration, got to wonder the cost if they offered two models of the car without the decal nonsense and less figures. Eg. Release a four pack with the GBII suits later as a comic con exclusive set or something. It feels like they’re just dumping the rest of the plasma series into this haslab to bump the price. The main selling point of the Ecto is it scales with the Plasma figures, but for that price I’d expect an extremely premium Ecto model for display purposes. Which these are not, they look like… toys. They look $150 at most, even factoring in the electronics. Just my two cents and no disrespect to the team.
Longwinded way of saying I’m not the target audience for this Haslab and Mondo’s RGB figures are something I’ve waited nearly 40 years for)

I think everyone should know that Alex Brewer, the sculptor who originally released fan art versions of these on his own last Halloween, essentially willed this line into existence.

The reaction to those images was so strong, that it forced Mondo to explore securing the license for Real Ghostbusters, and regardless of price, these are hands down the best looking Ghostbusters action figures that have ever been released. I have been buying Mondo's 1/6 scale figures for the last year and the quality and craftsmanship is unreal.

Never have I been so quick to pre-order something. Ever since Alex first shared his models I thought these looked like potentially the best we might ever get. Seeing the finished product has only gotten more more excited. Been waiting a long time for GOOD RGB figures, and it looks like we hit the jackpot.

You can add my name to list of people who bought Venkman/Samhain. Thankfully these are a one-and-done premium figure. I don't think you can really top these in terms of what they look like in the cartoon. The only thing that would get to me to throw money at another Real Ghostbusters toyline is if the original Kenner line got expanded. I don't see that ever happening so it'll be nice to call it a day and never have to choke-out my wallet ever again after this line wraps up.

Mondo made all domestic shipping free. Those who ordered already will see a refund made to your payment source within the next 48 hours.

Some odds and ends (still listening to it):
-Cyclotron articulates as the hose moves
-Trap's line is plastic, not wire
-Each pack will come with a trapped ghost accessory
