SDCC 2013: Ghostbuster items from Mattel

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! Once again, Mattel put on the Ecto goggles on the display during the SDCC 2013. I cannot remember how many times I have seen the goggles on a Toy Fair, but why aren't they

My Collection: Club Ecto-1 Subscriber “Thank You” Gift

I was a fan of Ghostbuster and really enjoyed the show during my Primary School times. I used to own some of the vintage Real Ghostbuster toys by Kenner Original during that time but they slowly went ‘missing’ as I was growing. I was overjoyed when Mattel announced the return of Ghostbuster action figures in 6” and 12” during 2009 when they first released the SDCC exclusive Egon Spengler.

Since then Mattel had released about 6x 12” action figure, 20+ 6” action figures, 1x 22” Marsh Mallow Man, a few Real Ghostbuster Retro Action line, a P.K.E meter prop and a ghost trap prop. Out of these, I have collected almost all except some variants and exclusive versions. Until 2012, Mattel decided to stop the subscription of the Ecto-1 and announced the end of the 6” action figure series. By May, Mattel had sent all the subscriber of Ecto-1 message that a token of appreciation be given FOC to them for loyalty rewards.

I happened to be one of the Ecto-1 subscribers that received the gift and today, I am sharing it here!

Since this was made Glow in the dark, I have the last photo taken with the lights off. Slimer really looks like he is floating in the air!

News: Mattel Ghostbuster display at SDCC 2012

I was rather disappointed when they only displayed a diorama of the final scene of GB movie 1.
Although I was delighted when I saw Zuul, but was wondering if they will be available for fans who did not went for the event. However, to my surprise, I saw the Ecto goggles on the website yesterday, I was really excited. From the pictures, it states that it will only be available by 2013 1st quarter. Enjoy the pictures:
