While most of us cherish the Ghostbusters movies, we worshipped “The Real Ghostbusters”, the canonical animated series that would continue the adventures of Dr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore, and their new ghost pal, Slimer.
The cartoon, from Columbia Pictures and DIC, was impressively creative and allowed the creation of unique goblins and ghouls that felt more organic than the later toys in the He-Man, Thundercats or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles universes. They went absolutely wild throughout the show’s seven seasons tackling everything from the Universal Monsters to ghosts made out of toilets, sports players and more.
Artist Bill McConkey celebrates the novel creations by putting every. single. action figure ever produced in a single print. He’s tweeted out that there are only ten available as of this writing, so you better hurry. It’s only $35. Here’s to hoping that he’ll create one that has the appearance of being slimed….
Which was your favorite toy?
