When it comes to
Ghostbusters action figures, one of the most requested lines you often hear from fans is updated versions of the figures based on the classic
The Real Ghostbusters animated series.
Today
Hasbro posted on
social media this image asking
"What classic Kenner Ghostbusters toys would you like us to bring back to life next?"
Kenner made the original figures based on
The Real Ghostbusters back in the day.
Hasbro released a wave of
Retro figures based on those original Kenner figures that were released as
Walmart exclusives last year.
It's not clear if
Hasbro is teasing more
Retro figures or perhaps will do
6" versions for their Plasma line. Hell we don't even know if
Hasbro is actually teasing something specific here or just looking for social media attention.
Since the new
Ghostbusters Afterlife movie release has been delayed due to COVID,
Hasbro hasn't seemingly done much with the
Ghostbusters license since they took it over from
Mattel last year. We've gotten the one wave of
6" Plasma figures based on the original movie which have seemingly sat on shelves. We got the one wave of Reto figures as well as a role-play
NERF item, and a
Afterlife version of the
Ecto-1 released under the
Plasma banner, but not made for 6" figures or any figures that have currently been released. That item as well hasn't seemingly moved to well at
Target stores.
I still have that car! It's all yellowy and missing bits... was gonna upgrade to the plasma collection... but it's still too small for the figures ?
Yeah that's the car behind April O'Neil in the last picture... ??

Filmation Ghostbusters... I want a Tracy figure...????
A nice pinch at nostalgia. But not my scale, unfortunately.
