Episode Review: Flip Side

Before Ghostbusters (2016) US release date I thought for fun and a “wink and nod” kind of thing I would review a The Real Ghostbusters episode that could relate to this new Ghostbusters movie. Part of that thinking would have honored an animated Janine who was a Real Ghostbuster when she needed to be. I also thought to review Copycat because of its title and a part where the ghost copies the “no ghost” logo. I also could have reviewed Extreme Ghostbusters final episodes, Back In The Saddle. Either and more episodes from The Real Ghostbusters would have worked.

Then it did “pop in there.” Ghostbusters (2016) marketing (it was in the trailer) has a scene  with one of the new Ghostbusters characters kinda just at a place with a wig on, which at least startles another new Ghostbuster. I remembered a slightly different scene from Flip Side, an episode of The Real Ghostbusters I saw for the first time when I was 10. And I’ve also been wanting to re-watch the episode.

Investigating a bizarre tornado in Central Park, the Ghostbusters are tossed into another dimension, a strange place that is the exact opposite of New York City. In a world populated by ghosts, the heroes must evade capture by their own ghostly counterparts, the human hunting Peoplebusters!

A Deviant Art member, Tempting Tragedy is creating a full line of Peoplebusters figures from the season 4 episode Flipside to match The Real Ghostbusters first series hero figures. In the episode Peter, Ray, and Egon accidentally end up in an alternate New York (Boo York) where ghosts live (or un-live) and people don’t. It wasn’t explained why a Peoplebuster Winston didn’t exist. Tempting Tragedy is creating one.

More from Tempting Tragedy about a wouldbe Peoplebuster Winston and his Peoplebusters figures:

“I’ve researched many references and carefully considered previous ideas from others who have created a Peoplebuster version of Winston. “Dapper Dan” pretty much has a perfect version of Winston created but his style reflects more of a movie version of them rather than the RGB’s original designs. But you can see the similarities between his Winston and mine. Like I said I’m trying to incorporate everyones ideas.

I’ve also considered size and shape in comparison to the rest of the Peoplebusters since they all have there unique & exaggerated features based off there human selves.

Winston, with having no science background was originally added to the team as more of a hired hand. So I designed him as the tyrant that can get the big jobs done. the brute force of the team since the Peoplebusters are a bigger badder more aggressive version of themselves.

Please help me out. Give your input and suggestions. I feel this is the best interpretation of him but your thoughts are always welcome.

These will be posable resin figures when I am done. This is my prototype for Egon. This is a good example of the style and scale I’m going for. Closely accurate to my quick sketch. There isn’t to much of a height difference between the figures but with the extreme difference in proportions the RGB Egon starts to look pretty small in comparison to the Peoplebusters.

He is posable in shoulders legs and neck. The incomplete hand will be posable as well with bend and rotate since that will be his firing hand.”
