Hasbro obtained the license for Ghostbusters merchandise last year, and this year’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife will be hitting theaters in July. Before then, Hasbro’s toys are set to drop and today we have a first inkling on what that will be. Thanks to ACD Distribution, we have stub pages using code names for different product types. There seems to be a 20 dollar range figure in the “Plasma” series – possibly a Marvel Legends style collector line. In addition, the same code name characters are in the 10 dollar “Fright” series. There seems to be an Ecto 1 playset and lots of role play themed items. No images yet, all this is set to drop in April 2020. Stay tuned for more details and pics in the coming weeks.

Hasbro Acquires The Ghostbusters Master Toy License
Sounds to me real ghostbusters could be happening.
I wonder if NYCC will yield any info or pics from hasbro.
Questions of course are, is diamond select done? Is Mattel done?

Ok, good to know. Any chance of those ghostbusters/wrestlers happening then or is it totally over?
I have high hopes that we can finally get the 6” scale ecto-1 we deserve.

So excited for this news!!! Hasbro has done incredibly impressive work with their recent Power Rangers line. Can’t wait to see what they do with Ghostbusters!
I'd hoped Hasbro would get the license back because now, Hasbro can remake the vintage Real Ghostbusters figures like they're doing with Star Wars, maybe even do the movie Ghostbusters in a vintage style.
If we get Real Ghostbusters I will be so happy!
3.75" Ghostbusters would be great, that way they could do all sorts of vehicles, playsets, etc from the cartoon, movies, and games... and being the small size, they don't have to worry about likeness licensing and fees. Most hardcore fans already got the Diamond or Mezco sets. Not sure how much demand there is for more 1:12 scale Ghostbusters.
I don't think I'm up for yet another Ghostbusters line. I collected the Mattel line, then collected the DST line since they were a vast improvement on Mattel's figures and I couldn't resist the build-a-sets. But for Hasbro, I'll probably pass on yet another 6-7" line unless they can offer an Ecto-1 vehicle (something Mattel and DST both neglected to give us). If they did a 3.75" line with vehicles, I'd be all over that though.
Perhaps Diamind Select Toys were not able to remake the vintage toys
What's interesting here, is that no one seems to be interested in the new movie line, but the cartoon. Ironically, the move was directed to the new movie... hope this doesn't blow back.
3.75" Real Ghostbusters would be even better, the original figures were on the smaller side so hopefully it's not out of the question.
Maybe we'll get a Haslab Staypuft Marshmallow Man.
3.75" hasn't been done. Love to see it in this scale.
3.75 epic playsets + vehicles!
I'm going to be real disappointed if DST stop making Ghostbuster figures. Hasbro ultimately makes kids toys. They may have the articulation but they lack paint detail. That and DST have had some pretty good dioramas with these figures. Sure you had to buy 15 figures over 5 waves to complete a diorama but it was well worth it. Happy with their human characters as we have most of whats necessary but was really hoping to get some more ghosts.
I got the first wave of The Real Ghostbusters from Diamond and was so underwhelmed that I cancelled the pre-order for wave 2. The articulation is outdated, the paint was thick and not that well done. Sculpts were....fine.
This is very exciting news. I would be very interested in a ML or TBS type of series in a 6" scale. I trust Hasbro more than any other company at this point. They aren't perfect but they do such a good job at such a low price.
Only needs limited articulation and be slightly taller than those "Giant Sized" Star Wars figure they had around TFA and Rebels.
Haslab = firehouse
If jacks could do a 4 foot darth Vader and strormtrooper for $80, someone can do a 4 foot stay puft rotocast for a reasonable price to go with our figures and have proper scale.
