Mattel is releasing a line of mini figures for the Ghostbusters films (Classic and 2016 films). Recently spotted the three pack sets at Toys R Us along with the Mini Ecto-1. Then later spotted the blind bags at Target. These are for the 2016 film. We have yet to spot the classic blind bags, sadly.
Impressions on these figs are that they are kind of cute and fun. The ghosts are all a hard plastic and don’t thrill us very much which is why we have not picked up any of the three packs. The female ghostbusters are the same in the blind bags as they are in the 3 packs. So if you only want the girls, go with the blind packs (we will reveal the codes at the end of this review). But if you want the ghosts get the three packs then use the codes below to fill in the blanks, as that’s the only way you can get the Slimer with his mouth full of hotdogs or the Gertrude Eldridge figures. All the rest are in the blind bags.
The 3-packs cost about $12 ($4/figure), while the blind bags are only $3 per figure.
The human figures are a nice PVC (hard rubber) and the ghosts are a hard plastic so if you tap the bags against the table you can tell right away of you have a human or a ghost. Some of the figures have a glow feature but not all (we have not tested all, but Slimer glows and the two girls with glasses eyes glow). The Kevin figure is not in scale with the four girls and this kind of sucks. His head is HUGE compared to theirs. Just looks freaky next to them, but if you only want Chris Hemsworth’s figure, it would be okay. They just don’t look good displayed together. The humans’ heads move and Slimer’s arms move, but the remaining ghosts are just static hard plastic figs.
Luckily these bags all have codes on the back so you can find the ones you are looking for easily once those codes are revealed and we have them for you!
Our bags were all coded with this number 06960B followed by a two letter combo AM through AX. It is those last two letters you need to look for to find the figures you want. Be careful the O and the Q look a lot alike on the bags.
06960B AM – Yates
06960B AN – Gilbert
06960B AO – Holtzman
06960B AP – Tolan
06960B AQ – Kevin
06960B AR – Slimer
06960B AS – Rowan (Human)
06960B AT – Splitting Ghost
06960B AU – Demone Rat/Wolf Thing
06960B AV – Bug Ghost
06960B AW – Rowan Ghost in Trap
06960B AX – Mannequin Ghost
