That skit you did with the Neca Movie TMNT figures and Diamond Select Real Ghostbusters figures was better than both 2016 movies bearing the respective names.
I've never watched one of your Miraculous Merchandise Zone (MMZ) videos before. EDITS- 11:00 P.M.: *finishes video 12 minutes later* This was a good video, especially the "crossover" between the Ghostbusters figures and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures. 11:01 P.M.: That had me dying! 😂
Even though Dana never appeared in the cartoon, (Which I do think she would've been an interesting character) at least she didn't become a nicey nice love interest by the fun police! It was bad enough for that the majority of the cast were watered down versions of their former selves! Poor Janine had to suffer the curse of rounded glasses blandine! Damn it Q5!!!
I really liked the toys for Ghostbusters as a kid... had their building and car too ;) Would bust out my He-Man figures and have them fight The Ghostbusters or GI Joe ones... Ahhhh, childhood was nice...
Ray's face isn't just exaggerated, it makes it look like his whole head has been squashed. I wonder if that was intentional, a cheap way to make the figure appear a bit shorter without actually having to cast a shorter body. That would fit with them not giving him a pudgier gut as well.
This has nothing to do with Ghostbusters but I watched another Beauty and the Beast version that you have yet to see Phelous! Have you ever heard of The Tale of the Crimson Flower? It's an episode off of a 1998 series called Stories From My Childhood. It's def. better than GoodTimes in many respects, but still carries some echoes of it. Also I swear the story has a go at Disney when the Beast (who remains nameless) says "I invite you here not as my guest, but as my equal." And though I want you to watch and find out who it is yourself, the voice of the Beast will REALLY surprise you. But believe me, his voice is the most intimidating thing about him, not much else I'm afraid. Though he is very emotionally manipulative when it comes to the Beauty, whose name is Anastasia. If you want to find out more, I'll send you the link, because I really want you to see and have fun with this story!
The tip of the weapon is submerged for 3 to 5 seconds in boiled water and when removed it straightens very easily. Anyway it is very frustrating to find a piece like this especially if someone thought to collect the figures in packaging.
I've completed the first movie line of diamond select figures however every single one of the boys has broken. They are more fragile than the original kenner line. Streams broke and the cables connecting gun to pack fell apart. Disappointing. Great video tho.
I hope we get some more series related ghosts too. Though the limited tooling on these guys makes me think that may not happen. I haven't bought the Diamond Slimer or Stay-Puft, after years as a Ghostbusters fan I am kind of tired of buying Slimer and Stay-Puft.
I mean, I'd buy the Peter and/or the Egon, but those kind of large scale 30 dollar action figures are fragile and I wouldn't have a good enough place to put them to warrant that price. I just hope this is a message to Sony that The Real Ghostbusters cartoon does have a big enough fanbase to exploit for merchandising. Other than the years old, long sold out Minimates, those even older Mego style toys, and impossible to find Playmobile sets, you just can't find cartoon specific Ghostbusters merchandise out there.
The real question is what is Phelous' thoughts on the 2016 Ghostbusters 3 movie? O_O I was hoping to seeing Oscar (the baby from GB2) all grown up and continuing his fathers' legacy of being a Ghostbuster. Turning it into a family tradition and recruiting a new generation of Ghostbusters including a few females.
The issues I have with this are usually washed away when I think "Well...these were £25 each. And they're damn good for £25, I think" I mean, I had to get these since when I think Ghostbusters, I think the cartoon. None of the other Diamond Select Ghostbusters interested me. I do think it's a shame they didn't change Ray's body mould, but these things are made on a budget. They simply took the existing moulds from the movie figures and recoloured them. I imagine the Real Ghostbusters line is the one that'll sell the least, so sacrifices must be made. I'm happy we got what we got with them and, odd Ray face aside (he looks okay in profile), I love all the ones I have.
I really love how you criticize the later episodes for changing Rays' chubby look. I always felt that such alterations gave kids the wrong impression about valuing ones appearances rather than personality, than again it seemed that the Q5 creators gave two fucks about the real Ghostbusters' personality, since they butchered the personalities of Peter and Jenine. :/ The dramatic weight loss encouraged kids that "Eating Disorders are the best!" Also Rays' chubbiness isn't unhealthy at all. It gave him a softer demeanor to him compare to the leaner more angular characters. It made him unique and was opposite to Peters' macho persona. After the make over though they made him just another white guy since they even took away his gentle persona and gave it to Peter... especially with regards to Slimmer. I really hated the whole thing of blurring Ray out. To me, Ghostbusters will always be a team of four individuals with an occasional fifth and sixth person from time to time. It is an old classic format really... no different to the original Musketeers (Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan).
Yeah, I think so too. One subtle hint I noticed was how he in fact referenced that very crossover in character during the skit at the end. Just spit-ballin', though. :D
I wanted to ask if you had the Playmobil toys, but I see now you know they exist. I got that Stay-Pufft for super cheap (11$ or so) - in preparation for getting Ectotron. I bet you will be reviewing that toy too. :D
So basically Winston's proton beam is the only one accurate to the cartoon series. Egon has the movie 1 proton beam, Ray's is movie 2 and I have no idea what Peter's is from...
That's pretty much been my experience when buying any Diamond Select figure. They tend to have strange QC issues and stiff or limited articulation. I feel like for the price they could do better. Certainly not "diamond" quality, but they'll do in cases where nothing else is available.
Are you the same person who's been asking Doug Walker to do a Nostalgia Critic review of Smokey and the Bandit 3? If so, maybe you should review these movies yourself if you like them so much and no one else is interested in doing so.
We need... The Peoplebusters Shanna O'Callahan Venkman's Dad with Venkman Ghost Repellers The Undying One The Boogeyman The Ghostmaster Professor Dweeb with Elizabeth Louis Tully The Grundel Robo-Buster Karro Zans Hob Anagarak Boogaloo Build-A-Figure The Great Calamari The Sandman Lord Kildarby Sir Bruce and of course, Samhaine
That is why I focus more on the Funko series. Plus the Funko figure are very sturdy. To each his or her own though. I wouldn't hold it against anyone who buy these figures. However, like you, I expected more for the price tag.
The retro action figure of Ray captured his childlike enthusiasm expression the best I think.
And the demon cow cameo was the icing on the cake. Yippee beans!
That face makes Ray look like he's supposed to be "the skeptical one," or something.
You made a huge missed opportunity not putting your 3D printed Ghostbusters statue next to the Peter figure
Was Peter's face inspired by the Cubify 3DMe Ghostbusters Phelan expression?
EH
"Ray ain't down with us no more...he ain't fat!"
That skit you did with the Neca Movie TMNT figures and Diamond Select Real Ghostbusters figures was better than both 2016 movies bearing the respective names.
Ray, Peter, and Stay Puff are ready to go to the Pizza Party.
I am holding my breath for an Ectotron review.
I've never watched one of your Miraculous Merchandise Zone (MMZ) videos before.
EDITS- 11:00 P.M.: *finishes video 12 minutes later*
This was a good video, especially the "crossover" between the Ghostbusters figures and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles figures.
11:01 P.M.: That had me dying! 😂
Watching you eases my depression, Phelous. Thank you.
I always thought the cartoon version of Ray was an older Archie Andrews.
Even though Dana never appeared in the cartoon, (Which I do think she would've been an interesting character) at least she didn't become a nicey nice love interest by the fun police! It was bad enough for that the majority of the cast were watered down versions of their former selves! Poor Janine had to suffer the curse of rounded glasses blandine! Damn it Q5!!!

Would bust out my He-Man figures and have them fight The Ghostbusters or GI Joe ones...
Ahhhh, childhood was nice...
When I visited phillipines back in December 2014 They had some bootleg transformer figures.
Phelan needs to review them.
Lol I loved the part at the end with the Ninja Turtles.
they did use Stay Puft as a parade balloon in the episode "Murray the Mantis"
Diamond Select confirmed they’re making more figures from The Real Ghostbusters, so it looks like Fearsome Flush could return.
Ray looks like he's trying too hard to copy Peter's expression and not pulling it off right.
Ray's face isn't just exaggerated, it makes it look like his whole head has been squashed. I wonder if that was intentional, a cheap way to make the figure appear a bit shorter without actually having to cast a shorter body. That would fit with them not giving him a pudgier gut as well.
8:43 Technically, Ray *is* a mutant, or at least Dan Aykroyd is...
Next up review the official Ghostbusters transformer.

Ligit first reaction was What did they do to Ray? Peter? Wow, thats a great figure of him! poor Ray. Really want these, mostly Peter and Egon.
Welcome back dude i missed you soo much😀😀😀
Um, when exactly did he go away? He's been producing and uploading content consistently for months now.
@@Silverstar_ why dose it feels like months since goldilocks upload??
Secretly... he's been on the hunt to find out whatever happened to Lorenzo Music Peter Venkman and uncover a conspiracy of great proportions.
Aww, Egon's just in a bad mood because he misses Janine...
Looks like Ray could use a few more fluffernutters... wait. What?
The tip of the weapon is submerged for 3 to 5 seconds in boiled water and when removed it straightens very easily. Anyway it is very frustrating to find a piece like this especially if someone thought to collect the figures in packaging.
Ray's "Oh, man !" gets me eveytime XD
I've completed the first movie line of diamond select figures however every single one of the boys has broken. They are more fragile than the original kenner line. Streams broke and the cables connecting gun to pack fell apart. Disappointing. Great video tho.
Wonder if you would ever review kotobukiya statues?
I hope we get some more series related ghosts too. Though the limited tooling on these guys makes me think that may not happen. I haven't bought the Diamond Slimer or Stay-Puft, after years as a Ghostbusters fan I am kind of tired of buying Slimer and Stay-Puft.
Ooooo will the ghostbusters meet 3D model Ghostbusters Phealous?😜 the ULTIMATE dream team
6.2.22

8:29 is my favorite part of this video
Ray looks like a Rankin-Bass version.
He really does have that rankin bass perma smile doesn’t he
The Diamond select ones look great.And I lowkey wanted a real ghostbusters and Ninja turtle crossover as a kid.
Ever try the new comics? Those crossovers are great.
Winston looks like Phil Lamarr
If the cartoon ever got rebooted, he would be my first pick for Winston. Legit talent for comedy.
I ain't afraid of no Bootleg
Phelous what are your thought on Ghostbusters 2?

O_O I was hoping to seeing Oscar (the baby from GB2) all grown up and continuing his fathers' legacy of being a Ghostbuster.

@@LadyCoyKoi wait why are you calling it ghostbusters 3?😅
Wonder if there'll be a review the Filmation Ghostbusters cartoon one day? Perhaps a Halloween episode, or the live action version?
I love these!
Ray looks... sinister.
Perhaps he knows what happened to Lorenzo Music Peter.
The issues I have with this are usually washed away when I think "Well...these were £25 each. And they're damn good for £25, I think"

Phelous what are your thoughts on The Ghostbusters 2014 video game?
Captain Imagination do you mean the 2009 game or the game based on the new ghostbusters that came out around 2016
Crimson Dynamo oops I meant to say the 2009 video game.
Do you mean the 2009 one?
Sora Song yes I mean the 2009 one I just made a second saying I meant the 2009 game.
@@captainimagination1110 That was probably as close to a Ghostbusters 3 as we'd ever get.

Take a drink every time he says Stay-Puft
The diamond select Ray looks kinda like one of the comic book versions. IDW I think.
I'd love a Diamond Select Samhain.
Damn I also love marshmallows!😂
Can you look at Godzilla Planet of the Monsters??????????
The retroaction Ray looks more like bill murray’s Peter venkman
would have loved to have seen a diamond select RGB Boogeyman or killerwatt.
Love the TMNT cameos. Me thinks you did that because of the TMNT/Ghostbusters cross-over comics
Yeah, I think so too. One subtle hint I noticed was how he in fact referenced that very crossover in character during the skit at the end. Just spit-ballin', though. :D
That's a really doofy expression on Ray's face.
Egon looks the best of that set in my opinion.
I was starting to have withdrawal pains without Phelan's toy reviews.
Hey Phelous what’s your thoughts on the new Ghostbusters movie coming out?
I really want/need that Stay Puft.
1:54 - Peter looks like he's asking you to *cut it out* ... you sure this isn't Dave Coulier? ;)
I really hope you review that new ecto-1 transformer
I wanted to ask if you had the Playmobil toys, but I see now you know they exist. I got that Stay-Pufft for super cheap (11$ or so) - in preparation for getting Ectotron. I bet you will be reviewing that toy too. :D
So basically Winston's proton beam is the only one accurate to the cartoon series. Egon has the movie 1 proton beam, Ray's is movie 2 and I have no idea what Peter's is from...
@Marty McFly II I have the four as well sealed.
Ray's head looked squished.
I need to know where to get Stay Puft and Slimer for my Kenner figures, also please review some Bootleg Yu-Gi-Oh merch.
So do you not posses ANY MANNERS?
That's pretty much been my experience when buying any Diamond Select figure. They tend to have strange QC issues and stiff or limited articulation. I feel like for the price they could do better. Certainly not "diamond" quality, but they'll do in cases where nothing else is available.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN i love marshmallow
I hope they make a Sam Hain.
Has Phelous ever reviewed the Playmobil Ghostbusters sets? If not, why?
Because of what you did to him, you monster
@@guyshafor1320 I only did what I did out of love. I JUST WANTED PHELOUS SENPAI TO NOTICE ME! 😍
@@ToonamiT0M yeah but first of calm down 😅 and please stop trying so hard. An attention seeker isn’t exactly a good thing
No Dave Coulier joke?
COO LEE AAAAAAAAAAAY!!
He would have if his Peter Venkman figure had derpy eyes.
I wanna get the peter figure so bad
Ray's neck... what is that? They made it look like he had gastric bypass surgery and hasn't yet lost enough weight to remove the excess skin.
Do a smokey and the bandit phelous and the movies review
Are you the same person who's been asking Doug Walker to do a Nostalgia Critic review of Smokey and the Bandit 3? If so, maybe you should review these movies yourself if you like them so much and no one else is interested in doing so.
@@Goldstar_ that’s a great suggestion
Slim Ginger Ray was a mistake.
The stay puft is about as articulated as I am.. Ray is a ginger now wtf?
I think the Ray looks a lot more like Dan Aykroyd than the Real Ghostbusters version.
Hey phelous i was wondering since outlast 3 is in production. Can you review outlast and dlc whistleblower?
We need...
The Peoplebusters
Shanna O'Callahan
Venkman's Dad with Venkman Ghost Repellers
The Undying One
The Boogeyman
The Ghostmaster
Professor Dweeb with Elizabeth
Louis Tully
The Grundel
Robo-Buster
Karro Zans
Hob Anagarak
Boogaloo Build-A-Figure
The Great Calamari
The Sandman
Lord Kildarby
Sir Bruce
and of course, Samhaine
The team behind Rays face are just a bunch of fluffernutters.
Obviously the same ones who tried to get him removed from the cartoon.
Yeah I'm gonna hard pass on these figures, for the price they are asking for the imperfections are just too glaring.
That is why I focus more on the Funko series. Plus the Funko figure are very sturdy. To each his or her own though. I wouldn't hold it against anyone who buy these figures. However, like you, I expected more for the price tag.
Hopefully this Peter is Lorenzo Music, and not Dave Coulier.
I read that in Barry Burton's voice.
@@TommyDeonauthsArchives It's blood... I hope this is... Dave Coulier's blood.
If it doesn't have derpy eyes, then it's not Coulier Peter.
I think Phelous was a wee bit too kind to this one. Understandable.
