In the realm of collectibles, the “Real Ghostbusters – Ray Stantz – Complete – Series 1 Action Figure” from the 1980s by Kenner stands out, capturing the essence of the animated series. Similarly, the “Ghostbusters Plasma Series Glow-in-the-Dark Ray Stantz Toy,” a 6-inch-scale figure, pays homage to the classic 1984 film. Not just action figures, the Ghostbusters toy line includes role-playing items like the “Shocker Toy” and the “Proton Blaster M,” which enable kids to immerse themselves in ghost-hunting adventures.
Ghostbusters’ vehicles have also been a highlight, with the Ecto-1a and ECTO-Charger from “Ghostbusters II” capturing fans’ imaginations.

Moreover, the legacy of the first Ghostbusters film, released in 1984, has been celebrated through various mediums, including toys, video games, and music, marking a significant cultural impact.
The “Ghostbusters Plasma Series” further expands this universe with figures like Winston Zeddemore and Peter Venkman, each with its unique features and accessories. Special editions like the Funko designer Reis O’Brien’s 2014 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive further demonstrate the ongoing appeal and innovation in Ghostbusters-themed toys.
Overall, the Ghostbusters toy line reflects a journey through nostalgia, innovation, and excitement, continually bringing new and old fans together in the spirit of ghost-hunting adventures.
