Movie Masters Cancelled?

The Internet is abuzz with news that recently, several large online retailers have dropped their pre-orders for cases of Movie Masters Waves 5 and 6, about which I have been so excited over the last, oh I don't know, eight months. I'm pretty pissed. I was excited about Arkham Scarecrow (despite his admitted lameness), and that proto-suit Batman was so cool of an idea.

Of course, while the dropping of pre-orders is real, the rumors ablaze across the Net are not necessarily true. Some people are predicting that these will be Mattycollector exclusives (at $20 each... God I hope not), or they are just adjusting the case assortments and these will be released on time. Whatever the case, I'm annoyed and pretty disappointed. I wanted those figures.

In other news, I was a bit excited to see this. Like I said before, collecting Lego people.... meh, not my thing. But this is the Ghostbusters, and Slimer glows in the dark, AND the uniform is my favorite from GB2.

Even the Venkman figure from the SDCC Diamond exclusives is exciting to me. I don't know, maybe it's because I remember going to the theater to see Ghostbusters 2 that it reigns supreme in my mind (don't get me wrong; the original Ghostbusters is a better movie, I just have sentimental value attached to the sequel). But the charcoal/black uniforms are so awesome to me, and I hope that this means the new Mattel figures might sport some variants in the GB2 uniforms. Maybe with slime blowers.

Ok, now I'm getting too excited. Time to end this entry.
