    Ghostbusters retro action figures conversion to Movie look.

    Hello guys, I always thought that mattel made an odd decision in making the retro action figures in mego size, but when i saw them in person, I was really pleased with the result, but always wondered why they didn't go with the movie look. WELL, thanks to our friend BlackKnight (who sold me the 3 heads) I was able to have a starting point. SO I went ahead and purchased 3 of the "exclusives" Peter Venkman figures, to have the suit, then there where the other odds and ends, so I made a mold of the 12 inch radio, ecto google and pke meter, and using Hydroshrink, i was able to shrink them in mego scale, then I made the web belt using some straps from an old 1/6 backpack

    I made the elbow pads out of sculpey, and the gloves are from ctv... boots and black shirts.

    Now i need to add the name tags, ghost trap holster and circuit belt gizmos.... these figures are a lot of work, it's taken me more than a month to get this far....

      Those are really great looking. I always liked the RAGB figures, even based on the cartoon.

          They look great. Got to get some Ernie Hudson love though. And then Louis Tully.
          It's not a doll it's an action figure.

              That's true, can't wait till Kbowen makes him.... if he ever does. Louis Tully would be an amazing adition to the gang. I also did a Jeanine using the Retro A. F. from Mattel.
              Can't wait to finish them. I'm working on the packs to make them more screen accurate.

                        Thanks Boss!
                        I finished Egon now.... The Brains of the Ghostbusters!



                        I did his PKE meter to detect some mego ghosts! BlackKnight did a great job on this head! All I did was the glasses.... and the paint.
