Welcome to day 2 of AFi’s 10th Anniversary!
Today we get to reveal the third figure in Diamond Select Toys first wave of Ghostbusters figures. We saw Winston and Ray debut at Toy Fair back in February, now the last figure in the first assortment can be announced and shown.
I’ve said several times on a couple of post-Toy Fair podcasts that I didn’t think it was possible for DST to make me want to re-buy the Ghostbusters characters an inch taller than the Mattel collection that I already own…. but dog-gone if those fantastic sculpts they debuted at Toy Fair didn’t make me eat those words. Then you add on the fact that they will come with great bases that will fit together to form the end battle rooftop and they just sucked me in for 12 sales (for the 12 planed figures in the line). Great articulation, great likenesses, great accessories and bases make for a great expansion of the Select scale of action figures from DST. And, as you well know, “bustin’ makes me feel good.”
With the solicitation information below we know the first five figures of the twelve that are coming.
The official solicitations for this first wave will be live later this week so be sure and place your order for wave one at your local comic shop for you don’t miss out on this first assortment.
Now let’s get to the reveal:
