Sorry if this may seem dumb, but I bought Ray and Winston from TRU and they didn't come with rooftop pieces. Is this a variant? Or exclusive? I just started to get into these. Any help would be great.

Any help would be great. The TRU versions are lower price without the rooftop diorama pieces. Comic/hobby shops will get the figures with the diorama for around twice the price, 24.99 or so.

Thanks for the info. May have to return these then and hunt for the others.

I can't believe the prices is so low for the ones without the rooftop piece...... I really want the rooftop setup but since I haven't gotten the room, I really might just stick with the lower priced. I would be surprised if the Diamond figures dont sell well because you can essentially get the higher priced figs with the pieces for a cool display and some cheaper to keep MOC. I really only keep figures MOC if I really like them and can get a duplicate. I got the the diamond select Universal Monsters box set with creature from the black lagoon, wolfman and the mummy. They are more or less statues but I thought the quality was pretty good and the actual look and detail was phenomenal as it should be for what amounts to statues.

Picked these up from my lcs on Monday. I can't get over how stiff DS figs are. My gotham ones were the same way. Out of the package and to the blow dryer.

TRU hasn't restocked these since they first showed up in November. Every week I check and there's the 3 Louises hanging there.

New pic of the full roof top: The addition of Terror Dogs pleases me. I must collect them all, even if I have to deal with Walter friggin' Peck being one of them.

The DST figures seem to be a one and done shipment in my area. I make sure to grab them as soon as I see them. I'll be doing so when Venkman and Spengler come out, and I'll be doing so when the Muppets start to ship too.

My Ray has been delivered today but I've got to wait until after work to get my hands on it. Still need to track a Winston down, the UK distribution seems a bit hit and miss.
Series 2 are looking good other than Dana. The head isn't great at all. I'd only be after the Diorama piece from her figure either way though.
The 2016 Matty figures look good but my interest would depend on how easy they are to get over here.

I've got a couple of connectors to attach the proton streams to the wands of Winston and Ray on the way, so it appears as though the rumors are true that, if you contact Select's customer service, they'll send you the pieces free of charge, which is excellent, 'cuz they're kind of useless without said connectors.

I'd read that the series 2 figures will come with extra stream connectors to compensate for the series 1 figures. I'm hoping that's true and will wait for those. If they don't, it's no big deal, I don't think I have the space to display with attached streams.
I'm interested to know if the Mattel streams fit the DS wands. I haven't decided if i'm opening mine yet so can't try it out.

Am I the only one who still can not find these dang things!? I've checked several TRU stores, several hours from my house, and only found Louis. Starting to get very frustrating.
