Diamond Select Toys Announces More Ghostbuster Minimates

A week ago, @DSTMatt tweeted that “The Carpathian cometh…” – now it’s confirmed that we’ll be getting a Vigo the Carpathian Minimate from the Ghostbuster line. You will buy his Minimate – Vigo, the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia, commands you!

More Ghostbusters Exclusives Coming to Toys ‘R’ Us!

In just a few short weeks, fans of Diamond Select Toys and Art Asylum will be able to take their Ghostbusters Minimates collections to an entirely new level thanks to the latest batch of exclusive Ghostbusters Minimates only available from Toys ‘R’ Us! This new assortment will deliver eight new Minimates and complete two sets started in previous waves as well as four new villains – including Vigo himself!

The first two-pack will feature the brilliant Egon Spengler in his Ghostbusters 2 uniform (the last missing Ghostbuster in that style) paired with the Titanic Ghost seen captaining the ill-fated luxury liner in the second Ghostbusters film. Two exclusive sets will complete the Courtroom set started with last year’s Peter Venkman by pairing Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler with the dreaded Scolari Brothers – Nunzio and Tony. The final set combines two of our favorite Ghostbusters 2 characters: the near-unstoppable Vigo the Carpathian and Peter Venkman in his “World of the Psychic” ensemble – which of course includes his signature hairless cat!

All four of these exclusive sets will be available in Toys ‘R’ Us stores nationwide and serve as perfect compliments to the previously-released Ghostbusters Minimates sets currently available in comic and specialty stores. Look for these two-packs in the weeks to come and be sure to check out the latest updates from DiamondSelectToys.com and ArtAsylum.com as the Ghostbusters Minimate universe expands to new heights!

MattyCollector.com Sale Ending and December Preview

DC Universe Color of Fear 2 Karu-Sil and Romat-Ru (1200x800).jpgMattel had a couple of updates on its Facebook page yesterday.  First, a reminder that the sale on DC Universe items is ending on Monday (at 11:59PM ET, if you like to really to push the limits).  It’s based on the number of items purchased.

  • Buy any two or three DC Universe products and get 15% off
  • Buy any four or more and get 25% off

I’m surprised that not one of the products that are included in the sale have sold out yet, including the really fantastic DC Universe Classics Color of Fear 2-Pack.

Second, a preview of the items going on sale on December 15.  I knew I wasn’t crazy calling the DCUC Justice in the Jungle 2-pack “Animal Instincts!”

December 15th is almost here! 12” Egon Spengler, Retro-Action Green Arrow, 1:24 Mater, Animal Instinct 2-pack and more on sale Tuesday, 12/15 at Noon ET/9am PT

But there’s so much more:

First Look – Ghostbusters Winston Zeddemore – TheFwoosh.com

I think we’ve seen the bulk of the Mattel previews for the items on sale this month, wrapping it up with the 6-inch Ghostbusters Winston Zeddemore.  He comes with what is probably the coolest accessory for a toy this year – the ghost trap.  And it will be even cooler next year when Mattel ships Walter Peck, since the trap will fit into the container unit accessory that will come with Peck.

Well, here is the thing, from a parts standpoint Winston is the same as previous paranormal investigators Egon and Ray from collar bone to toe – so you know what you are getting there. I know people have been commenting on the reuse, but I have said it before, they are all built similarly enough that it works for me. The importance comes in the difference though, and, of course, it is in his head sculpt.

I was thinking that I was a fan of the head sculpt when I saw the hand-painted prototype at SDCC and the early press pictures, and now that I have him in hand, my suspicions were correct. In fact, I think he is the best representation of any of the actors so far in the line. The 4H really caught the look of a young Hudson in my opinion and the paint on his face is great (as well as the rest of the figure), especially in the clean lines on his thin mustache. Some might disagree with the likeness, but I think it works really well.
