Who you gonna call?

   Wandering the labyrinth of the Internet a few weeks ago, I ran into Crooked Dice Miniatures, a company saying they specialized in miniatures of movie and TV characters. Some were unknown to me and some were lost from my memory. Others I knew very well. Like these...

   C'mon... we all know who you're gonna call!

The four main Ghostbusters
"We're the Ghostbusters." "Who does your taxes?"


Peter
"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Ray
"I've worked in the private sector. They expect *results*."

Egon
"I collect spores, molds, and fungus."

Winston
Louis Tully/Vinz Clortho, Keymaster of Gozer
  • "Do you want some coffee, Mr. Tulley?" 
  • "Do I?"
  • "Yes, have some." "Yes, have some."


Dana Barret/Zuul, Gatekeeper of Gozer
  • "There is no Dana, only Zuul!" "What a lovely singing voice you must have."

"Slimer"
"Ugly little Spud"

One of Gozer's Devil Dogs

The Keymaster and the Gatekeeper in their devil dog form.

I have enjoyed the movies and I sure enjoyed painting these figures. They're well executed, and even the Devil Dogs are nice although they are a bit difficult to pit together. The range includes the Ecto-1 car which I found to be rather price-y as well as other attached figures. Alas, no Gozer, no Walter Peck from the EPA, and some other characters are missing. But you can't have everything!

Probably just as well.
