The ectomobile now features Sony’s slim series subwoofers, a DVD A/V system, iPod adapter, and Sony marine amps (to cope with all that ectoplasm, presumably) and some hefty speakers. It also has a Sony MP3 player, 10-disc CD changer and NV-U83T navigation system installed.

From a very interesting blog post written by Mark Harris for TechRadar UK. Looks like the car is going to SEMA this year. 2009 is going to be a great year to be a ghosthead.

How about a Ghostbusters meme this Halloween? Trick-or-Treat!

9000!! NINE THOUSAAAAANDD!

Artist Jeff Pidgeon recently published designs for Ghostbusters Mighty Muggs on Flickr.  Mighty Muggs, for those of you scratching your heads, is a line of vinyl toys from Hasbro.  All character concepts from Jeff are linked below. Thanks to Tom for the heads up!

* Peter Venkman

* Egon Spengler

* Winston Zeddemore

* Ray Stantz

* Louis Tully (w/ headgear)

I should clarify that these are fan-made concepts.  That said, Ghostbusters-loving vinyl toy fans take heed, Ghostbusters kubrick figures will be available sometime next year.

Time Life recently unveiled the Real Ghostbusters Complete Collection DVD set packaging, which was nothing short of phenomenal.

Many ghostheads have asked for a more detailed look, and we’re giving it to you.  Check out the 360 degree view of the steel case DVD packaging, as well as our Flickr gallery filled with high resolution images of the Real Ghostbusters Complete Collection DVD set.

Ghostbusters.net member Crossing the Streams was kind enough to share photos of his brand new Ghostbusters tattoo which features artwork from Ghostbusters: Legion, including the Graham Crackers Comics Exclusive #1 cover.

I think this is one of the best Ghostbusters tattoos I’ve seen over the years. Sound off on the Ghostbusters Message Board with your thoughts.

Time Life was kind enough to send an exclusive clip to Ghostbusters.net, and the websites below, from The Real Ghostbusters Complete Collection which will be shipping next month!

Our exclusive clip was from Laura Summer, who was the voice of Janine Melnitz. Laura talks about finding the voice and personality behind Janine and how her character had a strong impact on the Ghostbusters team dynamic. The Ghostbusters, in many ways, were dependent on Janine, and that didn’t always come out in a not so subtle nature.

Be sure to check out the other exclusive clips on Ghostbusters sites around the web.  The list below will be updated as they roll in, check back soon.

Ghostbusters.net received the first product shot of the 25-DVD set, The Real Ghostbusters–The Complete Collection from Time Life which is shipping next month.  You can also view the full resolution image.  The 25-DVD set includes:

–All 147 episodes of “The Real Ghostbusters” and “Slimer! And The Real Ghostbusters.”

–Over 13 hours of bonus material, including: featurettes, on-camera commentaries, episode introductions, interviews with voice actors and series production people,  scripts, original art, and much more.

–The DVDs come in 5 separate STEELBOOK sub-sets, each with 5 DVDs  (volume 5 has 4 DVDs).  Plus, DVD #25 is a bonus DVD with nearly 3 hours of material, including the never-before-seen promotional pilot (with commentary and storyboards).

–A 52-page booklet with exclusive art, RGB trivia and more.

–And, it all comes in the Firehouse box, with lenticular panels.

For those of you on a budget, there will be a retail release, 5-DVD RGB Volume 1 released in late January.  This set will include the first 30 episodes of the series plus some bonus material.  Also, individual 5-DVD sets will be released over the course of 12-18 months for more casual fans.

Remember, the 25-DVD set is the only way to get the Firehouse packaging, the 52 page booklet and the bonus DVD, which contains the VERY RARE pilot for The Real Ghostbusters.

I’m pleased to announce that long time ghosthead, Dr. Snay, is developing a free — made by fans for fans — Ghostbusters video game inspired by the Sega Genesis video game.  There is, however, one large and important difference.  Winston is a playable character.

Stay tuned for updates, and let your voice be heard on the Ghostbusters Message Board.  Fans will shape the way this game turns out.  Come on in and participate in a historical event:  the first fan-made, collaberative, video game based on Ghostbusters.

New York Magazine published a 9 page preview of the TOKYOPOP manga Ghost Busted.  If you have yet to pick up the Ghostbusters-inspired manga, we encourage you to run (not walk) to your local comic shop and pick up a copy.

Discuss the new TOKYOPOP Ghostbusters manga on the Ghostbusters Message Board.

SPOILER ALERT:  If you have not picked up issue #1 of Ghostbusters: The Other Side, some very important pieces of the plot are revealed toward the end of the interview.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ghostbusters: The Other Side artist Tom Nguyen during the Graham Crackers Comic Ghostbusters event last week.

During the interview Tom reveals how he got involved with the project, what we might see in future issues of Ghostbusters: The Other Side, as well as tips for budding illustrators looking to break into the comic book industry.
