Mattel has posted in-package photos of Egon on their Facebook page. Some fans are complaining about the packaging, but I like it, particularly the way the blister resembles the Gozer building.
The toys look good too (except for Egon’s glasses…I may have to see if I can find a good replacement for those). Oddly enough, I think this set has become the SDCC exclusive I’m most looking forward to.

Yeah, Egon's glasses are…agressive.
dwaltrip
Very aggressive.

Still no pricing info? $20, I'll probably get it. Any higher, it gets doubtful.
Mark
Great figures…hope they do an Ecto-1 in scale for the figures.
Fengschwing
Any news on Bill Murray yet? Otherwise it's like releasing a set of Beatles figures without John Lennon.
PresidentJuggernaut
If they did make a 1:12 Ecto-1 and did a good job… it would probably be like $200.
And I'd probably pay it.
Mark
@PresidentJuggernaut, Cool a 1:12 Ecto-1…must check it out.
@Fengschwing, as far as I have heard they are still waiting on Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson to approve the face/head aculpts.

Just to torment Ernie Hudson more, they should slap an Arsenio Hall head sculpt on the Winston figure.

I still have my Real Ghostbusters figures and I must admit, I'm getting more and more tempted to pick these up too, even though I only really collect DCUC and JLU.
If they price them at no more than $20 a figure then I'll probably jump on board.

If Bill Murray is the John Lennon of the Ghostbusters, is Harold Ramis the Paul McCartney? Ernie Hudson is the George Harrison, and Dan Ackroyd is the Ringo Starr! 😉
Poe
No, I'd have to say Dan Ackroyd is the McCartney, Ramis is the George and Ernie is the Ringo. If you watch Ghostbusters closely, Venkman and Stanz have a unique friendship that doesn't extend to the other two.
PrfktTear
True… I didn't think of it that way in terms of their relationships! 😉
Newton Gimmick
Nonsense. Ernie Hudson is the McCartney and the Lennon! He's that awesome.
RageTreb
Oh damn, now I want that too. Will it be available after the show on Matty?
Mark
Deffinently want these figures, they look amazing….also the game looks awesome but it will be October before its released for XBOX in the UK.
I could be wrong but the body on Ray and Egon look exactly the same…..guess they are doing what NECA did with the turtles, a good body sculpt with different heads. I also hope they release versions from the cartoon as well.
JPL
Does that mean Walter Peck is Yoko?
Scott
Figure's up on matty. Price is $20.
