Yeah, not feeling Venkman here. That feels like a downgrade. And honestly. I don't get the appeal of ecto glow for some reason, odd given that I love gitd generally.

When a company doesnt have the likeness rights for an actor, they generally dont release a figure. If they DO release one, then they go out of their way to make sure it looks NOTHING like the actor; different hair color, a mask, etc. Because if it even VAGUELY resembles the actor then they are open to massive damages.
Whenever you see a figure that has a bad likeness, its just a bad likeness.
I know. I was being a bit facetious.
It's just a really bad render. And they've been making Venkman figures for years.

Given that the original plasma series venkman has a fine bill Murray likeness I would assume that it is the latter

I really liked this, but at the end of the day it was either get this or put (unquestionably needed) new tires on my actual car, and real-life wins out once again.
Man, I really wanted this and was planning on backing it but broke as a joke right now. I'll just have to pay a couple extra hundo on the secondary market... Hopefully BBTS gets em.
