The Ghostbusters line is on the tertiary of my collecting interest. It shouldn't be. I love the movies. I love the cartoon. I've always had Ghostbusters something around whether it's a t-shirt, a pin, or a Stay-Puft shaped notepad. But for some reason, I'm just not that excited piecemealing my GB's together month-to-month. Of all my SDCC exclusives, I was the most lukewarm to Egon (he's s a cool figure) and in that Twitter feed to the right you can see me tweeting back-and-forth with ActionFigurePics about how I just wasn't excited for the upcoming Ray before he got here. Ray is up for review today, but does he rekindle my interest in the line?
For awhile now, I've been buying DC "Super Powers" Classics, 25th Anniversary Joes, MOTU Classics, and others. It's like a second childhood. I loved the toys as a kid and I love them again now when they've been rebuilt for my "adult" sensibilities (and my "I have a job" wallet). But if you asked me what my favorite show/movie was as a kid, I would've answered Ghostbusters.
This is sort of a grand opening for ItsAllTrue.Net. When we conceived what this site would be, one of the things we wanted were checklists/resources for some of the lines we were collecting. Truthfully, we just really like making lists and this way we get to share them.
Right out of the gate, we're giving you these 4 handy resources: a MattyCollector Calendar, & Checklists for DC, MOTU, and Ghostbusters Classics! The calendar features a chart of the different toylines offered on the site with release dates. With this chart, you can look ahead to see what Matty is releasing when and know when you can save on shipping as well as when you need to save up! The three checklists feature a visual guide to the figures as well as release information and any other specific info that might be relevant. The Ghostbusters and MOTU Classics pages also feature a news section for the latest updates from Mattel.
