Some of these things scared the hell out of me as a kid and even watching them now, I think to myself, kids' shows today don't have anything like this. On Top of this were the really great stories and super creepy ghosts.
GHOST BUSTER TOYS MINI GHOSTS SERIES
The cartoon series not only started with a beautifully drawn introduction but also had some great voice talents including Lorenzo Music (of Garfield fame) and Arsenio Hall.
GHOST BUSTER TOYS MINI GHOSTS MOVIE
This mostly changed with the modern renditions from Minimates and Retro Action and we even got some movie accurate stuff from McFarlane and Neca. Even Slimer looked more menacing in this rendition. They produced some amazingly cool Kenner toys however I always found it strange that they never reflected the characters from the cartoon besides the original four Ghostbusters. It also produced an awesome Toy line from Schaper/Tyco that can pull a pretty penny on the vintage toy market now.Īnyway, back to the Real Ghosbusters. It had neat villains, wackier animation and a pretty damn cool Ghost Buggy (their Ecto-1 as a old-school Rolls Royce "Silver Ghost") and used a lot of pretty cheesy but clever name puns.Hauntquarters, Prime Evil, Spirit Shackles. On top of this, the film was countered by an extremely well animated and written animated series dubbed "the REAL Ghostbusters." Real was included because it had to distinguish itself against Filmation's 2 month running animated Ghostbusters series based on the live-action 1975 version called the Ghost Busters featuring the adventures Jake, Eddie and Tracy the Gorilla portrayed by Bob Burns, Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (Tucker and Storch of F-Troop Fame) The animated Filmation series explains we are watching Jack and Eddie's sons who now inherited the business from their fathers. Side note: as a standalone show, Filmation's Ghostbusters was definitely worth checking out. From here on in, it was an unending quest to find everything from Ghostbusters' cereal, Ecto-Cooler, the McDonald's GB Happy Meal Toys, Shrinky Dinks, Color Forms, Sleeping Bag (which I still have), the NES game was the absolute first Nintendo Game I ever got (and had my dad return when we disappointedly found out it sucked to hell.in exchange for Legend of Zelda so all was good) and let's not forget.the AMAZING ACTION FIGURE LINE!
I remember one Saturday when my parents put on the movie and loving the eggs cooking on the counter, the floating library books, Peter's spray gun in Dana's apartment (it's technical), the waist high swing door between Janine and Peter's "office".hey, these were things my 4 year old brain noticed. For me, my current collections like Transformers, GI Joe, Battle Beasts and Star Wars didn't hit my periphery until I was about 7 or 8 however the collection and cartoon franchise I was die-hard for from the very beginning was the Real Ghostbusters. Some of my fellow collectors hearken their current collections all the way back to their first childhood memories. My absolute favorite illustration from the series.I guess this is how they caught Slimer.
