Ghostbusters 1 & 2 Limited Edition DVD Gift Set Unboxing (Stay Puft Statue, Cards, Slime)
Wow, now I’m actually considering buying this! I guess it wouldn’t hurt to have two versions of GHOSTBUSTERS, although GHOSTBUSTERS II I haven’t re-obtained since the last time I pawned it, so, since that film isn’t even deserving of the same kind of respect, and I’m not really picky about video quality, I guess that can be my source of GBII…thanx for posting this!
Utterly not impressed…Cards use the same stock imagery seen over and over [and some I believe used on the previous “Fright Flicks” cards as well], the Dvd’s are the 2005 inferior versions, the giftcard is a cop-out, and Mr. Stay Puft looks abominable…The only thing that looks even remotely appealing is the Ectoplasm, and honestly that can be had out of a vending machine for .25…
That being said, I might get this off eBay in like a year or so when the price plummets, as I’m just that much of a completist…
sooo with a sideshow gift card included…does this mean Sideshow has the [licensing] rights for Ghostbusters??? that would be awesome!! I checked their newsletter and from Oct22-31st they will be revealing new products, could GB be one? i friggin Hope!
Overall, I don’t think the stay puft statuette looks that bad. looks like he could use some sleep and his legs are a bit too straight and narrow, but overall, for $30, it’s not bad considering what all else you get with it. Of course SONY is making a killing off the set at that price, considering how easy it was to make most of the stuff, but, ya know, that’s their job, right?
Lanny, I feel pretty much the same as you. I can only hope that Sony is truly going to make this a LIMITED edition, like the item name says, so the statue might be worth something many years from now.
Yes, the cards use the same stock imagery we’ve seen over and over, and yes, three of the six were used on Topps’ “Fright Flicks” cards. This wouldn’t be so bad if Sony made a whole set of 88 or 100 cards for the entire movie – surely the cards must be really cheap to produce – but since they made the same amount of cards as Topps, it makes the re-use of the imagery that much more worse.
G., I don’t think Sideshow has the licensing rights for Ghostbusters, or we surely would have heard about it by now. They were probably commissioned by Sony just to do the Stay Puft statue.
Jonathan, yeah Stay Puft isn’t exactly movie accurate, but I suppose he could look worse.
