Hasbro Teasing New The Real Ghostbusters Figures?!?

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'm still hoping somebody finds a way to do figures based on the OTHER Ghost Busters cartoon. I never even watched it during its enitial run, but kind of fell in love with it on video.

A nice pinch at nostalgia. But not my scale, unfortunately.
