Optimus Prime Becomes a Ghostbuster for This Wacky SDCC Exclusive ‘Transformers’ x ‘Ghostbusters’ Toy!
The Ghostbusters and Transformers franchises collide this year for a limited comic book series from IDW as well as a mash-up “Ectotron” toy, and Polygon lets us know this week that another mash-up toy is being sold exclusively at San Diego Comic-Con next month!
The 9.5″ figure of Optimus Prime re-imagines the iconic Transformers character as a ghost-buster, and he transforms into a Ghostbusters-themed and branded semi truck!
Polygon details, “The trailer converts into a ghost-busting base when Optimus is in his robot form, and comes complete with maintenance supplies and a ghost trap. You can even wear the packaging itself like a proton pack, if you need help with some last-minute cosplay.”
This exclusive “Ecto-35” toy will be selling at SDCC (July 18-21) for $149.99.

NECA Opens Official Image Gallery for ‘Savini Jason’ Action Figure from ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’
NECA had announced at Toy Fair that they’re releasing brand new Jason Voorhees action figures based on Jason Takes Manhattan and Jason Goes to Hell, along with the Tom Savini-designed hellish Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th: The Game. The latter action figure has received an official image gallery from NECA today, showing it off in all its glory.
The Ultimate Savini Jason 7” Scale Action Figure will be released in Summer 2026.
NECA previews, “From Friday the 13th: The Game comes a new look for Jason Voorhees, designed by the legendary Tom Savini! This version imagines the character as if he fought Lucifer, took his infernal Trident, and climbed out of Hell to haunt Camp Crystal Lake!
“Featuring fiery skin and a demonic look, this fully articulated 7-inch scale action figure features interchangeable heads, including one with light piping for a glowing effect in the eyes. It also includes interchangeable hands, Devil’s Pitchfork, mask, and smoke effect accessory.”
Makeup effects legend Tom Savini of course designed the original Jason, seen in Friday the 13th (1980), as well as The Final Chapter‘s Jason, and “Savini Jason” was his interpretation of what might have happened to Jason after the epic finale of Jason Goes to Hell.
