September sees us releasing four Paranormal Exterminators and a (big) Ectoplasmic Entity all sculpted by Mark Evans. We also have a sprue with some Extermination Gear (painted here by Simon Bradley) incase you need to arm any further minions to face some wrath of god type stuff.

I keep hearing the Ghostbusters theme now ... lol
-
Sweet!
These are must haves...
-
Who you gonna call...?
AWESOME! Must Have! I sense an *awesome* Pulp Alley scenario coming...
-
Yes! :-*
Release for these? :)
-
Cheers all! Out on the 01 September.
-
Thank you Crooked Dice!!
You came, you saw, you kicked it's @$$!
-
I aint afraid of no ghosts.
-
Great additions to the range.Mark has done a wonderful job on these for you.Looking forward to seeing them painted up.
-
I was just thinking yesterday about a 'paranormal exterminator' scenario having picked up some ghost figures. These look great.
-
You absolute beauty!!! Will Ainsty have stock for Partizan on the 6th? :D
Need to find an Ecto-1 now...
-
Brilliant as usual Karl! :-*
-
I'll be buying a set but why is the ghost so darn big!
-
I'm ready!

Couldn't stretch to the price of a proper Ecto-1 in 1/43 so have plumped for an old Corgi Cadillac ambulance instead.
It's going to take a bit of work but'll be worth it in the end. :D
How big is that stay puft marshmallow man. They used to do a 24" money box which would be just about the right scale I suppose.. :o

I was lucky enough to pick up the Ecto-1 about 3 years ago off ebay reasonably priced. The Stay Puft Marshmallowman is a money box approximately 11.5 inches tall.
-
11.5" sounds a lot more manageable on the tabletop. ;)
It's still a lot of marshmallow! lol
-
Seeing these today got me looking on ebay for a suitable Ecto 1. The 1/43 Hotwheels ones are very nice but too pricey, I did find a nice Hallmark Ecto 1 though around $39 which despite being plastic looks really nicely detailed from pics and videos I've found and it plays the Ghostbusters music!
http://youtu.be/0cVglg5o1NI
Would have been great if the lights flashed and had that particular siren sound but the music is still pretty cool.
Now to order these minis as soon as they're in the shop.

I may have the latter ;) nothing to see here, move along...
-
Just checked EBay for disaster Ecto 1s; :o how much!
They're 1:43 so way too big. Yes, way too big. Tell me they're too big and I don't need one! :D
-
Tell me they're too big and I don't need one! :D
Way, way too big.
And the Johnny Lightning 1/64 version is way, way too small.
There, now, you're safe.

They look alright to me. ;)

You must be looking at them too far away. :D
-
the Hallmark one is apparently 1/53* so juuuuuuuust right :D
*going by some random guy on a forum I found while trying to find out if it's the right size before ordering one
-
the Hallmark one is apparently 1/53* so no good whatsoever :D
I'm sure that's what you meant! :D

Indeed! These are awesome. :-*

I'm actually amazed no one had made any not-Ghostbusters already!

Khurasan has a great 15mm set....that's the only other ones that I know of.
-
I may have told my wife about the car and stay-puft. Maybe.
And the team... They'd work with Scooby and the Gang, right? Some kind of wacky 7tv universe crossover? Maybe?
-
Here is a nice looking cheapish 1/43 alternative

I think this is the same one Rob mentioned in an earlier post
-

Nice. I bought the Marshmallow Man years ago. He fell out of the loft and his arm broke off :(

There are some very appropriate Hellbeasts on the Heresy Kickstarter at the moment

"So, she's a dog."
-
Damn forgot Heresy made those, yeah will need some Hellhounds now... I want to get the Ghostbusters 1st though
-
I love crooked dice. I already have the Marshmallow man and the Ecto-1 ornament. I was just waiting for figures like these. Thank you so much. I'll have to restart my conversion of the railroad building/firehouse .
Also for those interested this kickstarter may be useful for any games using a card-driven mechanic:

Still very expensive, but Wonderland Models (http://www.wonderlandmodels.com/products/hot-wheels-143-elite-ecto-1a-ghostbusters-car/) have the 1:43 version of the car at a few quid off
-

Excellent. Look forward to picking these up on Sunday. :D
-
Any chance there will be a redhead secretary and a possessed accountant?
Anyway I am ordering these this week. Thank you.
-
The throwers and traps look a bit bigger than what they need. The packs seem just fine. Looks like Slimmer has been packing on a bit in he afterlife. :-)
An interesting option for the Staypuff Marshmallow Man:

Dont forget that after the encounter with Staypuff on their way to Zul they come across the dogs....
The old style Hersey Hellhounds make for a good copy. :-)
