Ghostbusters Fright Features
First revealed back in February and originally expected to release in Q1 of 2021, these stylized action figures featuring the Ghostbusters’ animated renditions are some of the community’s most-wanted.

Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Playset
To use alongside the Ghostbusters Fright Features series, this Ecto-1 will bring back fond memories for fans that loved the old-school Kenner Ecto.

Ghostbusters Ecto-Plasm Ghost Gushers, plushes, and slime playsets
If you’re looking for collectibles outside the typical action figure sense, Hasbro’s Ecto-Plasm line may be for you. They’ll feature likenesses of a Terror Dog, Slimer, Stay Puft, and Muncher. Plushes featuring the same characters are also on the way alongside slime based playsets.

Ghostbusters roleplay items
Featuring a variety of items, including the Proton Pack, Proton Blaster, and even a PKE Meter, these items will be must-haves for the junior Ghostbuster in your life!
