Metal Die-cast company Jada Toys Inc. has created a line of Ghostbusters figures made from a metal die-cast.

I know you’re asking yourself, what no Stay-Puft? “We won’t pay.” Thanks to ghosthead Jason Bischoff we know Jada knows their target audience.

Each of the individual 4″ Ghostbusters figures will retail for around $20 USD. With the slimed Peter and Slimer 2-pack retailing for around $40 USD. Estimated to arrive during June 2016.

GhostbustersMania added 17 product photos to their 4″ Ghostbusters Jada album.

Former Nerd Block Ghostbusters Bundle

Spengs1 Comment

Nerd Block, one of a kajillion box subscription services from time-to-time has Ghostbusters related items included with whatever that particular month’s theme is.

Eventually some, if not all items are no longer exclusive. With the t-shirt don’t hold me to that. I’m not subscribed to any box collectibles. Which is why I’m writing about these roughly 8 months later.

During the first week of March 2016 I saw through one of their internet ads Shirt Punch, (one of those deal sites where items are no longer for sale 24 hrs later) were offering Ghostbusters t-shirts and the former Nerd Block items. As I had been wanting both the t-shirt (you know in my size) and the Ghost Trap, I went full impulse buy.Read More »

Stay-Puft Marshmallows Around A Summer Campfire

The second US version of Ghostbusters Stay-Puft marshmallows.

You may remember in October I wrote a few posts about Ghostbusters confectionaries. (Ecto-Containment Tag) That is if you live in either the UK or a country where they can be shipped to. Since I imagine the cost of shipping candy which will either melt or expire could be very costly for an international company, in North America we either wrote about them or dealt with our emotions. Or both. 😀

One of those confectionaries, Stay-Puft Marshmallows. (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, October 13, 2015)Read More »

Months ago I came across a couple of auctions on a popular auction site for  more current Japanese Ghostbusters merchandise. Since I don’t know when these were made and sold (perhaps they still are) and they’re newer then the Japanese Ghostbusters merchandise I’ve written about (GB Inc. Blog Post, January 15, 2015) and found them interesting I thought I’d share them.Read More »

Zoobe Decorates Ghostbusters HQ For Christmas

Zoobe shared with ghostheads and anyone who’ll be in a festive mood over the next month that they’ve updated their Ghostbusters Firehouse HQ background.

Apparently the guys, Janine, or the rookies found time to mop up ectoplasm and decorate the office for Christmas. You know most of those gifts are for Dr. Venkman. 😀

Check out this slimy Christmas message from Robin Shelby, the actress who played Slimer in the Ghostbusters 2 movie! Have fun sending your own festive messages using the new Slimer Christmas character available now in the Zoobe app!

Zoobe is available for both iOS and Android devices.

Zoobe Adds Mr. Stay-Puft

Zoobe who introduced many a ghostheads to their character based voice messaging app with Slimer (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, August 19, 2015) has added everyone’s really favorite Ghostbusters ghost (Sorry Robin. :p) to Zoobe today.

The scene is practically straight out of Ghostbusters when Mr. Stay-Puft strolls down the avenue. Except he’s almost immediately hit with multiple confinement streams. Somehow he still makes time to provide a message of your choosing! 😀

Zoobe is available for both iOs and Android.

In one of my multiple attempts at using a free marshmallow man character to my advantage I made him a spokes marshmallow once again!

Should or when the Zoobe link expires I’ve also shared (should it remain) this video to Ecto-Containment’s Twitter and Facebook accounts.

NYCC 2015: Diamond Select Ghostbusters Toys Progress

Diamond Select Toys who have been showing their Ghostbusters Select figures this year (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, July 11, 2015) were at New York Toy Fair to once again display their Ghostbusters Selects. Which also gave ghostheads a look at the company’s progress.

This was the first time (that I’m aware of) we’ve seen a DST Ghostbusters Select Egon. We also get to see a more detailed exhausted Ghostbusters Select Ray Stantz. Which should be a variant. Is it just me, or does it seem like DST Ghostbusters Select Egon and DST Ghostbusters Select Janine are holding hands?Read More »

Slimerz Bubble Gum

SpengsLeave a comment

During the 1980s in America we had The Real Ghostbusters Ecto-Plazm Bubble Gum. (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, December 12, 2013) Their was also that bubble game flavored toothpaste (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, December 13, 2013) for when kids thought it was awesome to brush their teeth with a bubble game flavor. Sadly the time would come when Ghostbusters gum would be a thing from a bygone era. The sands of time would slowly make what’s old a new again.

Thirty years later the United Kingdom of Ghostbusters candy makers bring ghostheads and people who can appreciate fine gum balls, Slimerz. Yes, with a z. Why a z? Have they been to JerZey lately? Are they being extreme?

Slimerz are gum balls that for another reason have “no ghost” logos on the outside, but are filled with a green (“slime”) liquid center. Since I’m pretty far from London right now, I can’t personally tell you more about Slimerz.

A UK Halloween site which reviews such products can. Check out Halloween Love, then go to a store to get Ghostbusters candy to send to me. 😀 I’m serious. Maybe.

Ghostbusters Jelly Pops (Yet Again, If You’re In The UK)

Spengs3 Comments

To add sugar to the American blood stream Kingsways (presumably) is producing Ghostbusters Jelly Pops. What the heck is a jelly pop? :p The language isn’t a barrier. These lolly pops (man, that doesn’t sound very American) come in three choices, a “no ghost” logo, (ooh) Slimer, and something that could hurt you if you don’t have self control, Mr. Stay-Puft.

I love how they have an almost home made feel to them. They’re big enough you want (and probably do) play with them before finally and maybe a bit sadly eating them into oblivion.

Each Jelly Pop costs around 95p.
