Those wondering what Mattel’s “thank you” could be to the Ghostheads that purchased the now cancelled 2012 Club Ecto Membership can narrow their guesses down a bit, as Matty’s ToyGuru revealed a bit more information on their web forum.

Forum user mr Articulate asked the below question:

So we know it’s compatible with the 6″ figures, it’s not a 6″ figure and it comes polybagged.

That sounds like the SDCC bonus items offered in years past like the Plastic man suitcase,Starro Masks, Gleek, and Un Men.

Is it similar in size and detail to those items or something simpler?

Toyguru’s response:

It is a repaint of an existing item.

Let the guessing continue.

Ghostbusters™ Customers,

Hopefully, the vast majority of you have been enjoying the giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man figures we offered here at MattyCollector.com and San Diego Comic-Con last year. After an exhaustive investigation into the issue of why some of the figures are yellowing, here’s what we’ve discovered:

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man figure was fully tested and approved prior to being offered for sale. The figure passed all standard product tests, as well as a specialized test specific to the new foam material used. The yellowing some figures have experienced didn’t appear until a number of months after the product’s release. The yellowing is due to an unforeseen chemical reaction between the paint and material used in its construction.

Because we stand 100% behind the products we sell, we’re offering full refunds to any customer who would like to return their defective figure. We’re sorry but we won’t be able to offer exchanges. We will, however, gladly refund the original price for figures purchased either at MattyCollector.com or our booth at San Diego Comic-Con, as well as refund the original cost of shipping for figures shipped from MattyCollector.com. And in both cases, the cost to return the product to our warehouse will be covered by us.

If you would like a refund, here’s what to do:

If You Purchased at MattyCollector.com for Pickup at SDCC
For orders that were placed during the voucher pre-sale and picked up at the MattyCollector.com booth at SDCC, please call 1-877-GO-MATTYor email MattyCollector.CS@digitalriver.com. Our agent will look up your original order and arrange for the product to be picked up at our expense and returned to our warehouse. When the product is received at our warehouse, a credit for the original purchase price will be issued on the card you used to place the order. No refunds will be issued without the defective product being returned to us.

If You Purchased at the MattyCollector.com SDCC Booth
For those customers who purchased the figure directly at the MattyCollector.com booth at SDCC, please call 1-877-GO-MATTYor email MattyCollector.CS@digitalriver.com. Our agent will create a ticket and arrange for the product to be picked up at our expense and returned to our warehouse. When the product is received at our warehouse, a check for the original purchase price will be issued and mailed to you at the address you provided to the agent. No refunds will be issued without the defective product being returned to us.

If You Purchased at MattyCollector.com During Our Post-SDCC Sale

Our agent will look up your original order and arrange for the product to be picked up at our expense and returned to our warehouse.

Finally, we know how much you like the giant diorama package that came with the figure and we’re happy to leave it with you as a “thank you” for your business. If you choose to return your Stay Puft figure, you won’t need to return the diorama package to receive the refund.

To learn more about what we’re doing to continually improve, please read this article. Delivering the most fan-demanded designs in the highest possible quality is truly our top priority and we appreciate your business!

We’ve already talked about all the great Ghostbusters DLC that’s coming to PSVita’s exclusive title, Reality Fighters. It’s now time to check it out in action with the below trailer/preview.

We’re assuming that the date in the trailer mentioned is for the European release, while players in the US & Canada should still expect to see the content drop on May 22nd.

The piece was done by Steven Silverwood (check out his Flickr account) and is currently in the running to be made into a shirt on DesignByHumans.com (vote here).
