    Box teaser: Ghostbusters

    The whole thing is still rough and in progress but I thought it was cute enough to show. Still need to capture good pics of Walter Peck and Janine and figure out the insert.

    Great job!

    Are those actual drawings of the characters or did you manipulate the pix? They look phenominal.
    If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

              Manipulated screen grabs from the movie.

                  Great job on that box, the only thing that looks a bit weird is the Ghostbusters logo on the front going horizontal and then vertical, especially with the "t" of ghost preceding the word busters. Kinda reads like "tbusters". You could shift the wotd ghost to the left and place above the window and leave the upper right corner free of letters. But then the logo would look like 2 separate words.
                  Oh, and the last "s" of busters is somewhat hidden in the head of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

                    Except for the Bill Murray one which was pulled from the Stripes 1 sheet art as someone else noted. Perfect smart arse Bill Murray expression.

                      Very nice! What would be funny to me is for the Winston bubble have him saying "I've seen **** that will turn you white!" as the quote. Still one of my more favorite lines from the first film.

                      Bravo!

                        That would be funny

                        But out of place for an imagining of an early 80's package for Mego Ghostbusters figures.

                        Believe me, I wanted to make Dana's line " That's the bedroom, but nothing ever happened in there"

                          Another good Winston quote is "That's a big Twinkie"

                          I love your box design!
