The Real Ghostbusters

[drgon78]

I love the later episode that explained why Janine looked and sounded different over the course of the series. Also one with a massive ghost eating monster with one eye and sounded by some energy field.

[drgon78]

I really wish this series would get a blu ray release.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Or proper streaming on some platform

[drgon78]

Why not both?!

[TheCanadiandrome]

Well yes ofc obviously lol

[drgon78]

You would think with all these new movies they would release the series as well.

[ZariusTwo]

Are they still uploading episodes of the series to Youtube or did they finish that?

Well I know in Canada, we can view this as well as “Extreme” on the CTV app but ye I get ya

[drgon78]

I wish all animated series could get some blu ray love....

I am super jazzed about the screen-accurate RGB figures coming out soon from Mondo. Which is actually really strange because there is no way I'm buying them at that price point...

Haha, ya those are waaaay too expensive. By the time all 4 or 5 including Janine and whatever villains they have come out, assuming you want them all, it’ll be $1,000...and the shipping cost was gonna be $30 I think I read.

I saw a video by Mad Hatter (I’m guessing people are familiar with him, I’m not subscribed it just popped up on my recommendations). He was saying it’s probably the license for Real GB specifically. I guess it belongs to Hasbro.

He said he would buy them anyway because they were they gonna be the best RGB toys and other $100 figures exist so why not? It’s one of his favorite series.

Fine if you’re willing to pay that much but that price is indefensible.

I have the Egon and Janine/Samhain Mattel made years ago. They have fabric uniforms. They’re really nice. My only complaint is the packs are movie style painted blue. I also have the Diamond Select Spectral GB set. I’ve never opened it but I wonder if their cartoon-accurate packs fit the Mattel figures.

Anyway such a shame about the Mondo ones. Would love to have the Boogieman. No way they are worth $100 each though. Maybe it is the license.

Maybe we will see a wider consumer rejection of these at the price point and, similar to the Super7 G.I. Joe ARAH 7" figures, they will show up for 25 bucks each somewhere?


Not likely....

Ya they said they had around 50% increase in customers with preorders. So plenty of people are definitely willing to pay. There is free shipping in the US now but still not worth that much. It should have been like $50-60 for a 2 pack.

[drgon78]

Do you have pics of these expensive figures?

Just google Mondo Real Ghostbusters dude. You will get instant hits rather than someone having to swipe pix, upload them to imgur, find the code, post the code here, etc.

Best to make image requests for obscure $#!( as opposed to an easy google-fu.

It is a shame that this great series de-evolved into the Slimer series.

[ToTheNines]

I mentioned this in another thread but I watched X-Mas Marks The Spot last December. It reminded me how great this show was.

I also forgot the late great Peter Reneday voiced Scrooge in that one. Pleasant surprise.

[drgon78]

Always did love the creature designs.

[cammy85]

Me too! I know I always drew my own pictures of the Ghostbusters taking down really hugs ghosts. Inspired my that large combined poltergeist from "Slimer, Come Home".

Could you tell with his voice? Like did Peter sound like Scrooge, or was it like that Spider-Man SEGA CD game where Kingpin just sounded like evil Master Splinter?
