November 2013 edit: Removed a sentence about a personal blog post which I opted not to bring over.

Recently I bought a The Real Ghostbusters figure I look forward to receiving and writing about. As I don’t have all the figures in that series this felt like a really good time to write about Matty Collector’s Retro-Action The Real Ghostbusters.

Matty Collector produced and first sold Peter, Ray, Egon, and Winston in 2010. They were available in chain toy stores such as Toys ‘R Us, collectible shops, and through on-line retailers. In 2011 Matty Collector produced and first sold a Janine and Samhain 2 pack which included a small Slimer and a firehouse diorama. Which was also available at Toys ‘R Us, collectible shops, and through on-line retailers.

Mattel also offered two different Peter Venkman figures from The Real Ghostbusters episode, Citizen Ghost. Both Peters wear movie style uniform and come with movie style proton packs. The second Peter Venkman is the spectral version of the Real Peter Venkman.

In the next Retro Action The Real Ghostbusters updates we’ll look at the Janine/Samhain 2 pack and the Citizen Ghost Peters.
