My thoughts exactly! :)


OK, ask and you shall receive, LOL. OK, I just took some pics and I hope this helps you guys and everybody else! I for one think it is cool. The scale between the GBC & SoH is good if you make up your own story. SoH vs. RGB scale really isn't that acceptable. See what you think!

I still love my Mattel GB figures. only ones I'm missing are the 3 exclusives - Slimed Egon, Marshmallow Ray,and The Rookie.

still sad to me that they didn't finish it out properly. at least give us Gozer and the Terror Dogs!!

I know, it was really pathetic :roll: The figures were great indeed. If I were you and you would only get 1 exclusive, make the choice of The Rookie cuz he is so different from the rest!

Awesome thread and pics. I still have my vintage GBs. My faves was wave 2 that had Tombstone Tackle, Granny Gross and Terrortrash. The wave with Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and the Quasimodo Man was a close second tho!!!

I like the Mattel line too and wish they would've made more...I also really like the head/neck sculpt as one fairly well moveable piece; kinda wish Mattel would've done that with DCUC head and necks, makes the figs that much better looking as an asthetic.
