    Real Ghostbusters

    These guys are as much of an "upgrade" as they are customs. All bodies were switched out to a swivel arm body. The gloves and boots are from CTVTs (gloves had to be hollowed out to be able to fit their various accessories). The gear and belts are from various 1/6 figures. Ray's goggles are custom made. The base is a McFarlane military pair of night vision goggles. The strap was made to fit his head and then painted to match their original gear. Over all I am very happy with the out come... I feel it keeps the cartoon feel, but gives them a little more "high end" look.

    the gloves and boots really tighten up those figures, great idea!!

                  Thanks guys! As I said not a whole lot of detail work involved. Mainly the custom build for Ray's goggles, but still I love the way they look compared to the original figures... Working on the Shadow, Green Hornet and Dick Tracey Next.

                    These really look fantastic!!!
                    A real home run.
                    I think these base models would even be great with movie suits.
                    Would be a true blend of cartoon/movie and mego.
                    Thanks for sharing.
