Announced out of Toy Fair this weekend, Hasbro has resurrected the classic Kenner toy line for the animated series “The Real Ghostbusters,” with re-releases coming this Spring.

The “Kenner Classics” figures assortment includes Peter, Ray, Winston, Egon, Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and Slimer, and they’ll be available exclusively at Walmart.

Each Ghostbuster comes with accessories inspired by the classic animated series that the movie spawned in the ’80s: a ghost, proton pack, and proton blaster with stream.
