      Thanks for letting me know. Makes me more excited for the Ghost Busters.

      Still not happy with the smaller body

        Does that spell all painted flesh tones?

          I doubt it, the GI Joe figures were cast in a base color.

                        I think some collectors are hoping that new heads are cast in a matte plastic that will mimic the vinyl aesthetic they're used to and like.
