New York Post Remembers When Ernie Hudson Filmed Ghostbusters
We’ll forgive hometown newspaper New York Post for using a pic of Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters II™ when talking about filming Ghostbusters.™ In honor of Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary and subsequent ongoing screenings this week The Post spoke to Ernie Hudson, who of course portrayed Winston Zeddemore about filming Ghostbusters in Gotham. Um, we’re pretty sure that’s a different city, one with a little more crime.
SDCC: Ghostbusters Q-Pop Figures
In February QMX announced Ghostbusters Q-Pop figures. For New York Toy Fair physical figures weren’t yet available, only 3D artwork. At San Diego Comic Con QMX had all 4 Q-Pop Ghostbusters on display. I didn’t really know what to make of these figures then. They still kinda look kid versions of the Ghostbusters or what they could look if their was a new animated series.
I’ve still never seen a Q-Pop figure in person, for Ghostbusters these seem to just about perfectly capture what Ghostbusters is and the personalities of each character. QMX even made Slimer, without really having to make him. I just noticed a tiny Stay-Puft marshmallow man with Ray, making these a little more perfect.
We don’t know yet how they’ll be packaged, pricing, or release dates. Hopefully if they do well, QMX will make more figures. Janine from Ghostbusters anyone?

Mattel Releases Preview Images of 1:18 Scale ECTO-1 With Figures
This past February I posted about Mattel/Hot Wheel’s 30th Anniversary ECTO-1 with figures. Which was barely close up and the item was in a case. Now Mattel has released some detailed pictures of what 1:18 ECTO-1 and especially these Ghostbusters figures will look like.
If Matty Collector, Mattel’s adult collector brand had never made more detailed 6 and 12 inch Ghostbusters figures within the last 5 years, these are passable for possibly static figures that are meant for display purposes. If these are the final production figures and they’re being compared to the stand alone figures, its easy to nitpick. Does anyone else feel like these could be knock offs of the $22/25 USD figures?

New York Toy Fair: Funko Pop Ecto-1
Not the prettiest picture. Apparently for whatever reason Funko‘s Pop Vinyl ECTO-1 wasn’t on display at New York Toy Fair. Or it was and a picture didn’t surface of it in the nice green back lit display. Funko’s ECTO-1 reminds me of a chopped version of Kenner’s ECTO-1. And a larger version of The Real Ghostbusters soap dish.
I don’t know if this is the final version, and I may be in the minority of ghostheads who aren’t sold on this. I won’t complain if I had to own it. I don’t know if I would buy it, if it wasn’t going to be included with Funko’s version of Winston. One of the positives is it appears any Funko Ghostbusters figure can sit, well stand in ECTO-1. Fortunately too Winston will be able to be displayed on its own. I’m glad the creative minds at Funko thought like how ghostheads and collectors do.
New York Toy Fair: Funko Pop Ghostbusters Including Winston
Funko showed of their Pop vinyl Ghostbusters figures, including Winston at New York Toy Fair. With eyes like theirs, Egon could have contact lenses for back up. I like the details with the equipment and as is the norm each Ghostbuster has their own equipment accessory.
