Playmobil’s “Real Ghostbusters” Mission Pack Playsets Are Kinda the Greatest
We are absolutely loving what Playmobil has been doing with their Ghostbusters line, which kicked off with a massive collection last year that was based on the original film. We’re talking Stay Puft, the Ecto-1, and even the Firehouse. Then came a wave based on Ghostbusters II, which included an interactive hologram element with each set.
Now, Playmobil has set their sights on the animated series “The Real Ghostbusters,“ the company set to unleash four different “mission pack” playsets this coming April!
The sets include:
Venkman with Helicopter:
Fly to the rescue with Venkman with Helicopter. Styled after his look in the popular cartoon series, “The Real Ghostbusters,” Venkman is equipped with plenty of ghost-busting gear and ready for action. Use the functioning water cannon to spray “slime” at your ghostly target and keep the skies safe from all supernatural activity. Set also includes proton pack, proton wand, ghost trap, and PKE meter for measuring psychokinetic energy.
Stantz with Skybike:
When you need fast ghost-busting action, better call Stantz with Skybike. Equipped with four projectile slime darts, no ghost stands a chance. Use the bike to store all the necessary mission gear, and fold up the side wings for flight mode. Ghostbuster Stantz is styled after his look in the popular cartoon series, “The Real Ghostbusters.” Set also includes proton pack, proton wand, ghost trap, Ecto goggles, and PKE meter for measuring psychokinetic energy.
Spengler with Cage Car:
Ride along with Spengler with Cage Car as he takes on the glowing, fairy ghost. Using the removable “slime” disc shooter and ghostbusting equipment, he is able to take down even the trickiest of ghosts. Fold down the car’s front grill protection for an added shield during ghost-busting missions. Ghostbuster Spengler is styled after his look in the popular cartoon series, “The Real Ghostbusters.” Set also includes proton pack, proton wand, ghost trap, and PKE meter for measuring psychokinetic energy, all of which can be stored in the cage car.
Zeddemore with Aqua Scooter:
Take the ghostbusting action to the water with Zeddemore with Aqua Scooter. Using the functioning slime dart cannons, Zeddemore is able to defeat even the slipperiest of ghosts. Place the ghostly octopus in warm water to watch it change colors, or use the tentacle grips to connect it to different surfaces. For even more fun, the watercraft floats and can be upgraded with an underwater motor (7350 – sold separately). Ghostbuster Zeddemore is styled after his look in the popular cartoon series, “The Real Ghostbusters.” Set also includes proton pack, proton wand, ghost trap, and PKE meter for measuring psychokinetic energy.
Playmobil just sent me a sample of the “Zeddemore with Aqua Scooter” set for review, and it’s easily my favorite of the company’s recent Ghostbusters offerings. Mind you, I’m partial to the versions of the characters from “The Real Ghostbusters,” so the adorable mini-figure of Winston in his baby blue outfit completely won over my heart. As for the Aqua Scooter itself, it’s essentially the Ecto-1 re-imagined as a jet ski, equipped with a ghost trap on back and two cannons that fire green projectiles from either side.
And yes, it actually floats in the water!
As an added bonus, the Winston “mission pack” comes with a rubbery pink octopus, which has a fun interactive element; in hot water, the color drains from the octopus.
Again, look for all four “Real Ghostbusters” playsets in April!
The official social media accounts for Scary Movie had recently teased a bong-shaped popcorn bucket, but unfortunately it seems that was just a gag. The actual official Scary Movie popcorn bucket has been revealed by Discussing Film this afternoon, and it’s a bit more practical.
The actual Scary Movie popcorn bucket you’ll be able to get in theaters is shaped like an old school phone, as seen in Wes Craven’s Scream as well as the original Scary Movie in 2000.
The Scary Movie Phone Popcorn Bucket glows in the dark, and it’s emblazoned with “WAZZUP!” on the side, a reference to a memorable moment from the 2000 movie.
A phone number has been set up as part of the movie’s marketing campaign this week, allowing you to call Marlon Wayans’ Shorty for a fun spoof of the retro Moviefone experience.
Call Shorty now at: (855) WAZ-ZZUP
Hitting theaters June 5, 2026, Scary Movie has been Rated ‘R’ for “crude sexual content, graphic nudity, strong violence, and drug content and language throughout.”
Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite for the new Scary Movie, with the cast also including Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Jon Abrahams, Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, and Felissa Rose.
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe…
Scary Movie will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t. A whole lot has changed in the horror genre since the Wayans Brothers were in charge of the franchise; their involvement ended with Scary Movie 2 back in 2001!
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs Scary Movie 6 from a script written by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
