Open The Merch Flood Gates, Baby!
July 12th, 2008 by TooZuulForSchoolAfter watching those new Terminal Reality tech demos for Ghostbusters: The Video Game demos, and seeing all the new details on the equipment, I am reminded of how cool a new line Ghostbusters toys would be. Other than the Real Ghostbusters (and to a lesser degree, Extreme Ghosbusters), the movie franchise has been seriously lacking in the toy department. Sure, there were those Ghostbusters action figures a few years back. But the line only consisted of the spooks, when in reality what we all REALLY want are the boys and their toys.
It isn’t due to lack of demand that we have no Ghostbusters toys currently displayed on our shelves or a top our computers. Its a known fact that this is due to celebrity likeness and the lack there of.
It has been many a year and people have stopped expecting any Ghostbusters movie figures. But then a new Ghostbusters game is announced. And not just that! This game has all the approved likeness of each actor!…including their voices! Could this be true? Have all actors dropped the iron curtain and their faces can now be on products? Could this mean….*GASP*….there is the possibility of a toy company making action figures based on the new video game?! Ultra detailed, super poseable renditions of our favorite characters with the classic pack, the revamped game pack, traps, PKE’s, goggles, THE WORKS! Each figure could be packed with a spook from the game. Each could have a piece of a charred, pissed off Stay Puft that you can assemble when you collect all the characters. And if the Gods were smiling upon us, each figure could have a voice chip in it.
Can you imagine the glory of such figures?
Who knows. Stranger things have happened.
