Here's one Ghostheads for you to ponder, discuss, even fling at the fan:

If you could have one new piece of Ghostbusters related merchandise made right now, what would you choose?

Personally I would want to see four detailed and realistic sculpts of the boys in grey immortalized in action figure format by either McFarlane Toys or Kenner/Hasbro. The almighty Netmeister iMac is lonely on this dorm room desk. . .

I'd like to see a 1:18 scale diecast Ecto-1 or 1A. Man that would look beautiful… and big! I've got a few 1:18 diecast models, and an Ecto-1 Cadillac would almost be twice the size of my other cars.

Oh, and just a quick addendum, as Venkie would say “No job is too big, no fee is too big.” The sky is the limit for what you would want. smile

This is a great post!

I would like an exact replica of the Ecto-1 and 1A built by Cadillac. I think that would be THE ULTIMATE piece of merchandise.

However, on the more realistic side, I would settle for a full replica of all the props, including the trap, giga meter, and pke.

Ohhhh… yes.

If McFarlane Toys can put out Bob & Doug MacKenzie, they can put out the Ghostbusters. I'd LOVE that.

Factory X is putting out replicas of comic book props (Captain America's Shield, Thor's Hammer, etc.) I'm sure they could put out reps of GB stuff. THAT would be great. Proton Packs, PK Meter, etc.

I keep looking for a die-cast 1:12 scale to modify, but doubt I'd have the time. An Ecto 1 (I can live without the 1A) would be great.

What would I want? Definately a Grand Theft Auto-style Real Ghostbusters game, with complete freedom to build packs at the firehouse, take calls for anywhere, and a huge city to run around in looking for ghosts to bust. And of course, a nice Ecto-1 to drive and if there's extra developing time, why not a create-a-haunt where you get to make your own ghost and place him somewhere to haunt, with a number of selected things to say and haunting stoires to choose from.

Definately McFarlane figures. Just saying it makes my mouth water… wink

Oooh, yeah a Grand Theft Auto engine based game would be choice, that thought hadn't even occured to me! Imagine the possibilities!

4ft tall Libby complete with downtown New York and the MMOA and all the trimings.

I've always wanted to rig a full-size replica of Slimer to fly around the house and freak out annoying house guests.

A man can dream, though.
