Although not a 3D figure, Diamond Select Toys has a mock up of Vigo’s right hand man, Janosz Poha! Janosz has never had an action figure, not like this. Without checking, I’m pretty sure Peter McNicol has been immortalized as a Minimate.
Hopefully that scaled down Vigo painting will be one of its accessory. Thanks to Instagram user wrestlingcomics2k15 we also get a better look at the Ghostbusters HQ diorama. Which bares some resemblance to Kenner Ghostbusters Firehouse.

This past Friday I wrote my review (Ecto-Containment Blog Post: February 17, 2017) for the Extreme Ghostbusters episode, Back In The Saddle Pt. 1.
I actually began reviewing Back In The Saddle Pt. 2 on the same day. Without the ability to jump into earlier time zones, I would have to get back to it. Today I spent a lot of it reviewing and preparing the screen caps for Ecto-Containment. After what feels like an entire weekends worth of reviewing both Back In The Saddle episodes, I feel accomplished.
Thank you to ghostheads who take way less time than it took me to write and prepare the reviews for reading and hopefully enjoying what I’ve done.
Unofficial Synopsis:
The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters continue working together to defeat something that’s referred to as the entity when they’re Back In The Saddle, Part 2!

He is a Ghostbusters II Select Figure! As New York Toy Fair is underway Diamond Select Toys via there Instagram account shared a photo of Vigo The Select, confirming that there will be Ghostbusters II Selects and series 6 will have a Ghostbusters HQ “diorama.” Wow! You can see the makings of the front of the Firehouse behind smug Vigo.

IDW Publishing and Funko took what was probably an awesome meeting where the outcome will see Funko Pop Movie/TV characters in one off comics. Naturally you couldn’t have a Funko comics universe without Ghostbusters Pop Movies figures. (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, August 16, 2014)
Before they skyrocketed straight into the cultural zeitgeist, Funko’s Pop! vinyl figures started out for sale in comic shops. This May, they’re going back to the beginning by teaming with comic publisher IDW for a month of special one-shot comics featuring Funko versions of IDW’s iconic pop culture properties like Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Funko Universe Month at IDW will primarily consist of five one-shot comics: Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The X-Files, Strawberry Shortcake, and Judge Dredd. But there will also be Funko variant covers available for that month’s issues of regular IDW titles like Back to the Future, Orphan Black: Deviations, Dirk Gently: The Salmon of Doubt, The Powerpuff Girls, Star Trek, and more.
Recently I was beginning to get around to a site update for Ghostbusters International. In my mind it made sense to do “this” before “that.” The first of a few Ghostbusters reviews for the sites is an Extreme Ghostbusters review.
As a ghosthead since 1984 and growing up with The Real Ghostbusters arguably the best episodes of Extreme Ghostbusters were when the original/Real Ghostbusters got together for a party. Along with somewhat unexpected, suppose to be brief ‘bustin action.
Since ghosts don’t care about passing the torch The Real Ghostbusters team up with the Extreme Ghostbusters in the two parter Back In The Saddle.
I’ve only reviewed Back In The Saddle Pt. 1. I’ll be working on Pt. 2 (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, February 19, 2017) next.

No need to check, you’re reading Ecto-Containment and not Unearthly News. In what was an “out of no-where,” pleasant surprise for ghostheads Ghost Corps (Facebook) shared a photo from there vault revealing deleted scenes/unused footage, and something titled “Bill Murray.” You know you want to see what’s on that film.
It’s time for another #TBT vault find! These reels came from a box in Ivan’s personal storage and we’re pretty excited to have uncovered some unreleased scenes! #Ghostbusters
Diamond Select Toys posted on there Art Asylum site about new Ghostbusters Vinimates and Ghostbusters Selects figures will debut at this weekend New York Toy Fair. Until then DST gave ghostheads a small “sneak peak.”
On December 1, 2016 Sony’s Ghostbusters division Ghost Corps (Facebook) posted photos from a The Real Ghostbusters promotion they found in there vault. What ghosthead and movie fan wouldn’t want to look around in that vault!
Ghost Corps originally wrote:
Look what we found in an old storage unit at Sony! Anyone know any info about it? #RealGhostbusters#Ghostbusters#TBT
Matthew Jordan who runs Ghostbusters Wiki responded with:
Rumor has it, it was a promo for The Real Ghostbusters soundtrack and was sent out to select radio stations in 1986. I heard that from a friend.
Ghost Corps replied:
Interesting! The inside does have a space that looks like a soundtrack could fit in it, and when Slimer popped up it would have revealed it!
I also thought this promotional item was pretty interesting. While I had maybe seen it on-line through the years, never in this detail. It isn’t something I would have usually remembered anyway.
Playmobil (US) has been preparing (GBI Blog Post, January 9, 2017) to release their line of Ghostbusters play sets. Something that could have only been imaginable 30 years ago. If you were an older kid like myself, you didn’t imagine the two would go together. They would have then as they will today.
Playmobil revealed their upcoming Ghostbusters play sets to ghostheads. Except for what I perceive as modern packaging design, these sets feel like they could easily be re-releases from 1987.
In an update from last years New York Toy Fair (GBI Blog Post, February 14, 2016) Cryptozoic Entertainment has produced and is selling (I should check) Ghostbusters Mighty Meeples.
I don’t really know what that means. I’ll let Anthony Karcz from GeekDad tell us about it.
