That has got to be the best Bill Murray face sculpt/paint apps on a figure I've seen yet. Good find, Michael! This is why I prefer going to the toy store and choosing the figures I want, especially the ones with better paint apps, or with no blemishes or stray paint smudges.

If Hasbro is smart, they’ll come out with an Accessory Set, including extra proton streams and other equipment, maybe even some new pieces, like the sniffer. Too bad the bar to entry is set so high...

They'll probably make a set with one each, thus forcing you buy three sets to fully deck everyone out. And probably for no less than $20 each.

That's awesome how you grew up in the '80s and you were able to experience all the 80s goodies when they first came out. I grew up in the 90s and I couldn't imagine what it was like to see the original Ghostbusters in theater when it first came out and even the second one for sure. I definitely bought this Hasbro series 1 set of 6. I personally love this set and happy with it. That's what I ended my collecting journey with. Thanks for the good reviews as always truly.

I got these and I like them. I didn't buy 4 winstons but I did buy the "old man" versions of the surviving ghostbusters which each come with a proton stream so now everyone has one. I also ended up making my own ecto by picking up an ambulance designed for wrestling figures and applying some "no ghost" logo stickers I already had. There is an area on it where I would love to add black and yellow caution stripes but for now it works. To me it looks like something the Ghostbusters might actually have made.

There’s definitely room for improvement, but I don’t think Hasbro is done yet. I’m hoping a second wave rounds out the cast of the first movie and gives us a couple ghosts. After that they can jump to Ghostbusters 2, Afterlife, RGB, or even Extreme GB, plus all the variants Mattel and Diamond Select did.

I’m hoping there will be an accessory pack for the missing ones, but I haven’t really noticed much of those for collectors lines for most collectors lines lately, so the chances aren’t super high.
