I heard that they were trying to make "Ghostbusters: Series 2" and they wanted to have the actual MOVIE Ghostbusters in the set, but Bill Murray was being an Asslick McGriff and wouldn't sign over his likeness even though the other guys did.
Does anybody have any news on when/if these figure will be made, if at all? Or did Bill Murray screw the whole thing up by being a baby?
Thanks.

I have heard nothing at all, which means it's more than likely off. Since Series 1 has been out for a good while, and no word of Series 2 has surfaced in a long long time, I think it's safe to say that dream is dead.
Two quotes are relevant in this situation. First one is from Randy at NECA, shortly after Series 1 hit stores. He said, "I can not tell you anything more about Series II yet, the plan is for Series II to be the 4 guys. If the likeness issues can not be resolved we will proceed with a stylized version perhaps drawing from the new comic designs. That will be determined once we get closer to sculpting these figures. Rest assured the attention to detail will be there realistic or stylized. It is our intention to have the actor likenesses so we will make every effort to secure those rights."
HOWEVER, the next quote is from someone at a Ghostbusters message board, who says, and this is dated August 2nd, "I e-mailed NECA the other day and they said they will most likely not do another line of Ghostbusters."
So, it looks like Series 2, and the line, is done. Sad news, because the first series was really well done.

I was really looking forward to getting that set, but now it will never happen, thanks BILL!

It is unfortunate, and from what I heard the first series didn't sell that badly, especially considering that the entire series was secondary characters except for Slimer. Oh well, that's just another one for the "what could have been" column.
