My problem with the Plasma Series is just the four OG Busters. They feel like a lateral move from the Matty Collector figures. They're better in some ways, and worse in others. I feel as if I actually prefer the Mattel guys in spite of their shortcomings. The two biggest issues for me in regards to the Hasbro figures are the scale and the suit color.
The plastic color used for the suits of the series 1 GBs is just awful. It's way too bright, and the suit details of the sculpt are lost in it. The Afterlife figures fixed this, and the glow in the dark slimed repaints sort of fixed this (they're a darker shade of tan than series 1 Plasma, but not as dark as the Afterlife figures which I'd consider the perfect color), but if you want the four guys young and in clean khaki flight suits, you're stuck with the bright washed out looking suits.
My otber big issue, the scale, is a weird one to have. The original Ghostbusters were all 6 feet or over. Winston was the shortest at 6' flat, Egon was the tallest at 6'2". Hasbro made the guys about 5.75", which makes them tiny compared to other 6 inch lines. What's weirder though, is that they're the only Plasma Series characters scaled this small. In pic related you can see 6'1" Venkman (wearing boots which would easily give him an extra inch) next to a barefoot 5'11" Dana, and yet she's taller! She ironically scales better with the Mattel Egon on her left than her own wavemates. That's a pretty big fail. The legs of the Plasma Busters in general look very stumpy, which really hurts their overall sculpt.
