Ghostbusters Universe Figures

Ghostbusters is an intellectual property that spans more than just the movies. There were cartoons and comic books, too. After *Ghostbusters* (1984) was released, *The Real Ghostbusters* animated series aired in 1986, and it had a spinoff comic and merchandise. (This is not to be confused with another 1986 cartoon called *Ghostbusters*, with toys from Schaper. That was based on a live-action show from the 70s, called *The Ghost Busters*.) It had a short-lived sequel series called *Extreme Ghostbusters* in 1997, with an action figure line.

### Ghostbusters (2016)

*A note about these figures from Mattel, and the packaging: They phoned it in. They didn't believe in the project, and it showed. The packaging was boring and cheap. The facial sculpts were merely okay. Mattel did the bare minimum, and put zero effort into the "collect and connect" Rowan ghost figure – it's shoddy work. The figures, and the franchise, deserved better than Mattel did here. -Admin.*

### Ghostbusters (Filmation, 1986)

The Filmation cartoon is not part of the Dan Aykroyd Ghostbusters universe, however, there is so much confusion about it and so many people assume that it *is* part of Aykroyd's Ghostbusters, that it's being included here, as a footnote. **The figures listed below are not part of the greater Ghostbusters franchise, first envisioned by Dan Aykroyd.** They are for a cartoon adaptation of a live-action children's show from 1975 called The Ghost Busters.
