I grabbed all of them this last weekend at Target. They are SO cool. I wanted these so bad as a kid, but never got them. Here's hoping we get Janine at some point.
The Dick Tracy reference makes me wish Playmates would re-release the 1990 figure line. So far I’ve been hunting at my local Target for a couple weeks, and they’ve been barren. Managed to find Egon during my vacation in Florida. Waiting patiently for either massive Target restocks or April to find them elsewhere. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I lucked out my wife works at target in the US and got me all of them. I am keeping them on card as I have the originals open. Great throwback to some of my favorite memories as a kid.
I hope they re-release the Super Fright Features. I had the Winston one when i was a kid and sold it, along with all of my other Kenner Ghostbusters toys (including the Ecto-1 and Firehouse), my Ninja Turtles (including the Technodrome, Party Van, and Blimp), and 1989 Batman and Batman Returns toys (including the Batmobile and Batwing) at a yard sale when i was 13 because i was "too old for kid toys". Biggest regret from my childhood.
My favorite line after Mask, preorder too. And I will let them breathe 😂 to find to nostalgia to grab in my hand.. this rééditions are so great 😀 just before the movie..
I've always wanted those Kenner Ghostbusters toys like that and I can see between the differences from the original one to the new ones cause I saw that the new Winston zeddmore didn't match his skin color on the neck but the original one did, and I noticed that, and yes I did notice some differences between those Kenner Ghostbusters toys 👻🚫😁
Hardest part of collecting figures is finding them. Used to be fun going on a hunt to Walmart or Toys r Us 🇨🇦 been to multiple of each and nothing. Found 3/4 on amazon at a resonable price though they seem to have been taped shut again on the bottom.
Originally , I purchased the first Re-release of the classic figures for my kids Easter Baskets a few years back. Looks like they will be getting a new batch!!
Just picked up a set of the four figures for £53.99 which I feel is a great price. I will be keeping them on the card ad displaying them alongside the first wave of figures. Great review Jason! 👍🐵
I buy three of every Kenner classic. I open one and keep two for display purposes. I have a corner of my display room set up like an old school Toys R Us. So, I am trying to make it look like a aisle filled with new and old GB toys.
I never liked this wave as much as the first wave but I got these first as a kid and didn't know the more traditional versions ever existed. Luckily I found them later as a kid. While history has repeated itself because I missed out on wave 1 of these rereleases as well. lol
I managed to gather a set after hitting 3 Targets. I’ll pick up another set later to open once they readily available online. Glad to have this fresh set of figures. The two vintage figures I have suffer from plastic breakdown, and Egon is a pain to find with tie intact.
I guess it'll be Haunted Humans for Wave 4 which is cool but I hope we get the movie monsters, the slimed heroes and the ecto-glow heroes too at some point
I'd love to see Hasbro include the mini traps for Wave 3 of the Kenner Classics, and I guess it'd be asking too much for a Proton Pack and the Firehouse HQ. some ecto-plasm would be pretty cool also
Hi! As a kid i remember back then and keep staring at Ray Stanz at the back of the card showing that his ecto goggle is covering all his eyes. But the final toy is showing 1/3 of his eye. It would be cool if they just let him wear the ecto goggle fully and i think the fright feature of his eyes would be much better instead.
I got mine at different targets here in Michigan. I went ahead and canceled my entertainment earth pre-order because of the April release date and price.
7:37 Another difference for Ray - The original has a tuft of orange hair peeking over the top of the goggles. On the new release they haven’t painted it, so the hair is the same grey plastic as the goggles sweat😅
I broke the tie on my FF Egon action figure back in the 1980's short after I got him. Took me about 20 to 30 years to find a loose one that had an intact necktie. Got two of the four reissues so far. Going to keep the first six action figures mint on card, since they are my favorites of Kenner's Real Ghostbuster line. Additionally, I purchased a second batch of the four Ghostbusters from the first series to have loose. Going to customize them soon to better match the cartoon.
Definitely an improvement on Ray. Always hated when the logo would get that annoying black border. Better tilt on it as well. I plan on getting 2 sets when they finally hit Target's online store; although, I do still have my originals--tie intact and all.
Ok, so this is how Winstons head is supposed to move! 😅 As a kid i bought 2 different Winstons on various flea markets. But their heads only spin in one way. To this day, i thought that is the move the figure should do. Now i know the head is supposed to spin back when it gets lowered and not just slide down. 😅 Of course i also have an Egon with a broken tie. But is the problem with the head i have with my 2 Winstons also a common problem?
I have my full set of loose Classics and will definitely be getting a carded set too. Totally loving these - especially Ray. Question - I think there was an additional difference between the new and vintage Ray - Did the original vintage have a handle on his weapon that snapped into his hand (in addition to the forearm clip)? My Classics Ray did not have a handle on the weapon, just the forearm clip. I could have sworn the vintage one had a handle and forearm clip. Help! My OCD must have an answer! Thanks!
Haha, you're right! Somehow missed that when filming, but the OG did have a peg that would fit into his hand. This appears to be the only significant difference across all four weapons (outside of color).
i can never tell if the prices online are the SRP...are these supposed to be $14.99 each, or is that a 3rd party mark-up. i swear, Walmart has GOT to stop allowing competition on current retail items.
Why does Winston always have the most horrifying fright features?? This one has a disturbing extended pez dispenser jaw, and The super fright features version is even worse, with a massive head with a giant tongue popping out of his chest.
Entertainment Earth listed them, seemingly by accident. They are still scheduled to be shipped in April, but because of their exclusive arrangement with Target in the United States, EE's listings have been temporarily removed.
I'm on the fence about getting these guys. I still have the originals and their ghosts, but not their (weapons?) I'm sure I will buy them. Egon's tie broke off after all, and I thought Winston's head used to spin around, now he just yawns.
I never cared for these. I always was confused like, their Ghostbusters, why would they be afraid when they had their proton packs? And my Egon tie broke 5min after taking it out. 🙄 It would have been way cooler if they were movie themed instead of these freight feature toys.
They've ruined Winston with the miss match of colours on his face don't match his jaw think I won't bother with these I just keep the originals u would have to re paint his face or jaw to match
I grabbed all of them this last weekend at Target. They are SO cool. I wanted these so bad as a kid, but never got them. Here's hoping we get Janine at some point.
I like the colors of the new figures being just slightly different, makes it harder for scammers to pass them off as the originals
I am not alone!! I thought this Venkman figure looked like Tim Allen too😄
Lmao he does!!!!!

I can't find them anywhere besides online for 4 times more than they are worth. Why aren't they in store online?

Yesterday I got Ray Stanz, he is so awesome, and he is definitely my favorite!
I'm getting two sets , one to open one to collect
They’re definitely neat, might pick a couple up

Had to get Spengler! As a kid, his color scheme always stood out.
Keeping mine on card. Since the artwork is so cool!
As I still have my childhood ones in my collection, the new ones I picked up I’m keeping on card! Looks amazing on card!
Originally , I purchased the first Re-release of the classic figures for my kids Easter Baskets a few years back. Looks like they will be getting a new batch!!
Not the bath, Big Boy. Not the bath!
Big Boy Did It!!!!😂🤣
6:18 me too... and this Ray was my first GB Figure 😃
Just picked up a set of the four figures for £53.99 which I feel is a great price. I will be keeping them on the card ad displaying them alongside the first wave of figures.
Great review Jason!
👍🐵
I just realized these are the figures I had as a kid.
I buy three of every Kenner classic. I open one and keep two for display purposes. I have a corner of my display room set up like an old school Toys R Us. So, I am trying to make it look like a aisle filled with new and old GB toys.
thanks for the nice comments about the cards!
Found all 4 at my local Target about 4 weeks ago.
I never liked this wave as much as the first wave but I got these first as a kid and didn't know the more traditional versions ever existed. Luckily I found them later as a kid. While history has repeated itself because I missed out on wave 1 of these rereleases as well. lol
Got them on pre-order. One for me, one for my kids.
I managed to gather a set after hitting 3 Targets. I’ll pick up another set later to open once they readily available online. Glad to have this fresh set of figures. The two vintage figures I have suffer from plastic breakdown, and Egon is a pain to find with tie intact.
Hope they make Janine, it would make sense because of Janine in Frozen Empire being a Ghostbuster.
Fright Features Winston was my 1st Ghostbuster toy
I still have my originals I got when I was a kid and yeah Egon's tie is broken. I bought 2 each of the new ones.
Definitely picked up a set, I’m a wait til everyone else gets they’re then I’m going to double up
I guess it'll be Haunted Humans for Wave 4 which is cool but I hope we get the movie monsters, the slimed heroes and the ecto-glow heroes too at some point
I'd love to see Hasbro include the mini traps for Wave 3 of the Kenner Classics, and I guess it'd be asking too much for a Proton Pack and the Firehouse HQ. some ecto-plasm would be pretty cool also

Tracked mine down this past week!
I got mine at different targets here in Michigan. I went ahead and canceled my entertainment earth pre-order because of the April release date and price.
❤ Excellent. Dommage pour le raccord de peinture manquant pour winston derrière la nuque 😢
7:37 Another difference for Ray - The original has a tuft of orange hair peeking over the top of the goggles. On the new release they haven’t painted it, so the hair is the same grey plastic as the goggles sweat😅
2 sets. One to open and one carded
Two sets for me one to open and one to keep on card.
Two set buyer 😅☝️
5:06 lol 😂😂
Bought them for my kids to play with alongside my original ones ❤😂
Don't forget Louis and Janine.They were part of the sixth of the series
How many kids accidentally broke Egon’s tie? This guy for sure. It’s so awesome these are back on store shelves
I broke the tie on my FF Egon action figure back in the 1980's short after I got him. Took me about 20 to 30 years to find a loose one that had an intact necktie. Got two of the four reissues so far. Going to keep the first six action figures mint on card, since they are my favorites of Kenner's Real Ghostbuster line. Additionally, I purchased a second batch of the four Ghostbusters from the first series to have loose. Going to customize them soon to better match the cartoon.
I’ve found 3 of the 4 in store at Target. Still trying to track down Egon. I hope Hasbro gives us more.
Got the full set to at game stop 🇨🇦
Just wish I could find them. Only seen two Venkmans in the wild otherwise empty pegs.
Got my last 2 figures this weekend walked into my target and all they had was Peter and Ray left which was what I needed.
Definitely an improvement on Ray. Always hated when the logo would get that annoying black border. Better tilt on it as well. I plan on getting 2 sets when they finally hit Target's online store; although, I do still have my originals--tie intact and all.
I got that reference!
Ok, so this is how Winstons head is supposed to move! 😅

Of course i also have an Egon with a broken tie. But is the problem with the head i have with my 2 Winstons also a common problem?
Ray is the one I want, I haven't come across one in the wild yet.
Dick Tracy joke ....got it and agree
I will be buying 2 of each so I can open one up and keep the other mint on card lol

Gonna go to the local Target and see if they have them.....
🤠👍🏻
😱
Forgot to mention that the gruesome twosome ghost can go around Peter Vanman‘s neck
i can never tell if the prices online are the SRP...are these supposed to be $14.99 each, or is that a 3rd party mark-up. i swear, Walmart has GOT to stop allowing competition on current retail items.
Why does Winston always have the most horrifying fright features?? This one has a disturbing extended pez dispenser jaw, and The super fright features version is even worse, with a massive head with a giant tongue popping out of his chest.
Will they do Ecto Plazm though 😮
I opened mine, but kept the cards.
Why is egons logo on the wrong arm? This has always bothered me. Same with Ray but he has no logo on his arms
Hair-down Venkman? Tim Allen, sure. But hair-up Venkman? Straight up Jerry Seinfeld in the face and head shape.
Why the rays weapon dont have a stick?
do these use the original molds?
I want them to put out the ecto 2
Zavvi preorder payments still haven’t been taken.. making us wait
Tim Allen sponsored this video!
Venkman looks like Seinfeld
Why was the link you recommended in an earlier video saying I will receive mine in April?
Entertainment Earth listed them, seemingly by accident. They are still scheduled to be shipped in April, but because of their exclusive arrangement with Target in the United States, EE's listings have been temporarily removed.
Me going on 50 years of age no reason to keep these on card anymore play-rime everyday
What will be next ??
Where is Janine?
The paint is alot more sloppy with the new ones, same with Playmates ninja turtles, The wort being Bebop which is now unpainted from the waist down.
I'm on the fence about getting these guys. I still have the originals and their ghosts, but not their (weapons?) I'm sure I will buy them. Egon's tie broke off after all, and I thought Winston's head used to spin around, now he just yawns.

In box
Am I the only one that did not like the fact Jennie is missing
Where are these? You all are talking like you can find them in a store and i vant find them unless i get them on ebay for 4 times more than retail.
Tex avery syndrome
They've ruined Winston with the miss match of colours on his face don't match his jaw think I won't bother with these I just keep the originals u would have to re paint his face or jaw to match
@davidJons-mx7yw True unless you keep it sealed!👻🚫👍🙋
