I’m waiting for Egon to go up on BBTS, still haven’t decided on single or 2pk. If I get one ghost, I feel like Boogieman is it.
I think your decision has been made for you as I believe the ghosts are exclusive to Mondo's shop and the window to order is closed. I would guess BBTS will have some eventually like they do the Premium Bandai stuff, but at a severe mark-up.
Thanks for that clarification @misfit. I hope I can at least still get Egon solo. If not, I might have to cancel Peter. No reason to have an incomplete set.
The solo Ghostbusters should be up at the same retailers that sell the Mondo's 12" figures. Only the 2-packs are exclusive to Mondo.
Does Mondo usually ship on time? Peter and Samhain are supposed to ship this month if so. I did ask them on instagram but don't know if I'll hear back or not.
They did reply and say the set should ship out this month. Sweet!
That's cool to hear about Venkman. He's bought and paid for so I'm to glad he'll be shipping soon.
I wasn't able to pay for Egon upfront, so I just went ahead and pre-ordered him through BBTS.
I don't know why I thought Janine would be spaced further out, but she looks to be right alongside or after Ray. I suppose I'm in for her too, as I can't think of anyone else I'd need besides the 4 busters and her, since Slimer comes with Peter.
Now I'm just trying to limit myself of MOTU 1/12th's and avoid starting the Rocko's Modern Life figures they showed that look spot on also.
The four Ghostbusters, Slimer, Janine.. and Louis Tully. That would be the full team to me.
But I'm not sure I'm in on these yet. They do look really, really great. I can't justify the price though. A few years ago, I would have paid it no problem. But with the economy now, spending $100 on a single action figure just doesn't sit right.
If I do get these, it'll only be the four Ghostbusters, I'll sell off all the other ghosts including Slimer. I do have the Diamond Select figures though, and even though I kind of hate those figures, I kind of feel like "they're good enough" and that keeps me from dropping the money on these.

I liked the DST ones but didn't buy them when they came out. To me they look great, kinda like the Gargoyles from NECA aren't exactly on model with the cartoon but are built on that overall look. My only problem is that Ray's facial expression looks like he soiled himself and these don't come with extra head sculpts. But the other 3 look great. I'll probably get the 4 busters and then consider Janine. Don't need Tully or spectral busters or anything else. Besides, Ghostbusters is starting to get to be like the TMNT where every production house gets a turn with them, and I don't need to be buying and rebuying multiple interpretations of these guys. So your logic is sound as far as I'm concerned.
