*Twenty-five years ago, New York City found its newest heroes, a group of crackpot scientists-turned-ghost exterminators - the Ghostbusters. Ridding the Five Burroughs of ectoplasmic activity, they also saved the city from the menace of the giant Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man. These cinematic heroes are recreated for a new audience as Mattel unveils the Ghostbusters Retro Action Figures. Styled on the classic MEGO figures of the 1970s, these figures of Peter Venkman, Egon Spengler, Raymond Stantz, and Winston Zeddemore stand 8" tall and feature authentic cloth costumes. *
That’s great that you’re going to be able to get them in AJ. I might be picking up my second set through you - especially if Winston really will be the harder one to find. If I remember correctly, something we saw (I think at Entertainment Earth, said he was coming only 1 to a box). I will admit though - I’m really looking forward to walking in and seeing these on store shelves.
these are gonna look awesome as a set! As much as I’d love a set of detailed RGB action figures and maybe one day who knows, I dunno, I like the appeal of these and they did something outside the box. Bravo Mattel and AJ.
Result! I’m def gonna be getting these through GB fans! Living across the pond it makes getting these Toys R Us exclusives a bit tricky, nice to be able get them from fans rather than scalpers on e-bay!
Are you referring to the photo AJ posted? If so, then that’s Ray not Peter. If you want to see what Peter looks like here he is in the uniform from the episode “Citzen Ghost”
Mattel also did a variant as a the ghost Peter from the same episode:
The packs and wands are blue because they were blue in the cartoons.
depending on what the final Ray’s color looks like, I may switch it out with Citizen Ghost Peter if I display them. It looks like they went more with later season Ray’s suit…
From what I saw after watching a video of the cartoon is that the proton packs and wands appeared to be either black or a very dark blue. The original toys were blue, but that doesnt mean you have to make the new ones that way. I would prefer it more screen accurate.
