after seeing the video of the ghostbusters yesterday it left me with a couple of questions....First, we all know the 12" arent cheap, but now they are releasing a 12" 2 pack. It comes with lots of extra stuff, Slim blower, GB2 uniforms and much more. Will there be a pack we can buy, for those of us who already bought the 12" figures on their first time around, that will come with all that stuff? or do we have to buy the 12" figures again? because if so that would really suck.....second, they show the un-slimmed peter coming with a GB logo base and a proton stream, will those be available for us to but separate for the figures that we have already bought as well? like a pack with4 displays and a pack with 4 streams for example, or anything like that.

I agree the 12" figures are expensive,it would make more since if they were just acssory packs. I, and everyone else out there that have the 12" inch figures don't have the kind of money to have extra 12" figures laying around that we just bought for those acsseorys. So lets hope Mattel gets smart and does the acssory packs and reissues the 12" figures seperate for those who don't have them can get them and those who want the acsseory packs can get those, if it goes the other way I don't see them selling that well.
well i don't collect any other mattel lines, so i didnt know how they handled accessories for He-man, but if they already do release packs for them that just gets my hopes up more that they will have packs for ghostbusters too.....because the GB2 flight suit is awesome!!!! and i dont have room to display another 4 12" figures

I'd buy another 4 12" GB's provided they were new sculpts. If we see that this two pack of Winston and Peter have different sculpts from the ones I already have (i.e GB2 sculpts) then I'm happy to buy them. If they're identical to the ones I have, then I'm not forking out just for the sake of the slime blower and jump suits! That's just insulting.

see it really sucks cuz the fans who got them when they were new would have to rebuy, but new people who missed out get the figures and a lot of bonuses. if thats what they do they would almost sounds like a phone company "lets not be nice to our loyal customers, only give new customers a bunch of cooler/better stuff for free, then after they buy, ignore them a repeat the process"

I know He-Man had a n accessory pack in the 80's I had more than a couple of them, what I'm saying is Mattel NEEDS to do this seperate, even if the heads sculpts are different than what we have now throw those heads in with the other accessories pop of the heads that are on the bodies now and put on the others,it's not hard to figure out. Than reissue the 12" figures that I know a lot of us already have for the people that didn't get a chance to grab them the first time around, cause I can tell you right now if I new they were gonna release 12" 2 packs I wouldn't have bought the singles. I LOVE these Ghostbusters figures it's one of the best lines out there by far and think Mattel needs to think things through a little before these go into full production.
i dont have the space for another set of 12"....and if i knew they were going to release the 12" 2packs i would have waited as well. Matty seems to listen to fans, well more like take things into consideration, hopefully this will be one of them

We can only hope they listen. I watched a video of for SDCC and they say that the 2 pack 12" figures with all of the extra equipment will sale for $120.00, so that's $60 for each individual figure that most of us have already paid for. I don't know about any one else but it was hard enough for me to get the extra $60 pluse shipping just to get the one's I've got now on account of bills and for the little things that happen in life, just like everyone else. So the case in hand who's gonna have an extra $120 just for two of the same figures they already have just to get these (what seems to me) very cool accessories. Lets hope that if they do decide to sell the 12" 2 packs that at the same time they do that they release an accessory pack for those who don't need the figures.
i don't have the space for multiple sets of the 12" line, i hope they make an accessory pack, otherwise i'll miss the 2 pack, despite wanting slime blowers etc
If anything, I want to see an accessories pack for the 6" figures. Starting in November we'll be getting proton streams with the figures. So are we gonna have 1 figure out of 5 that actually looks like it's fighting a ghost? Then for those that aren't getting the subscription figure, you'll be missing out on a 2nd stream AND the goggles we've been waiting for. That kinda sucks really.

I agree an accessory pack for the 6" line also needs to be made due to the proton stream,goggles,walkie,and base that comes with the club exclusive for those who don't have a membership. Wich I figure Mattel will do pretty much do for those facts, but as of right now it doesn't look like there's anything in the works, we can just keep hopeing for this along with the 12" 2 packs being seperated into figure only and accessory only. Time will tell
I would definately buy an accessory pack for the 6" line, provided that is included 4 proton streams, PKE meter, Ecto-goggles, ghost trap, and a small pack in ghost.
Ok so I've jumped the gun in saying that Mattel needs to seperate the 12" figures from the accessories, what they should do is make a seperate accessory pack for those who alredy have the 12" figures. I,along with anyone else that already have them would deffinantly buy them.
