Collecting many different toylines, Toy companies don't always do the obvious thing that would make fans excited, but I gotta give Hasbro credit that they've really nailed a lot of what the fans have wanted from Ghostbusters Toys for years... Whomever is running this brand, is really in tune with the fans. I'd love to interview them!
Thank you for watching, these should be the most wide spread and available toys once they do come out, so hopefully everyone will be able to get plenty :)
Seeing all these again makes me wish I could go back to being a kid. The only thing I didn't have was the firehouse. God I loved the Ghostbusters and always will.
How have I never heard of these until today?! I'm soooo glad I came across this video! I just started buying The Real Ghostbusters action figures with Ray last week, and was planning to eventually buy them all. Now I know to wait for the better versions that are on their way.
I had a panic attack when you showed them in the ecto 1 and the firehouse, I have both. So I've never been so jealous and happy for someone at the same time!!!!
@@thatoneguy378 The Ghost Gushers that have Ectoplasm and a mini ghost have a mini Samhain head!!!! :D It looks exactly like the cartoon one!!!! :D It's so cool!!!!!!!! :D
I have these, but they lack the Terror Dog and Slimer. They came with just two variants of the same ghosts (as they appeared in 2020 Toy Fair, just behind the ones out of card). Great review, suscribed.
In the UK Peter and Winston come with the same ghosts as Egon and Ray just in different colors. I was quite disappointed we missed out on Slimer and a terror dog for some reason.
I picked up all 4 adults and kids today. Do you happen to know why the ghost figure extras have been changed? My Winston and Venkman have different ghost figures.
Considering that the playmobil accessories are slightly oversized, i bet the traps and walkies will fit in the kenner Ghostbusters hands. I also plan on putting the playmobil proton streams on the kenner Neutrona Wand. I also think that the playmobil Terror Dogs will scale well with the kenner 5in figures.
I can confirm the Playmobil accessories work really well with the kenner and hasbro afterlife figures. My boys have been using them, and they work great, especially the Playmobil PKE meters.
I've been looking forward to these the most out of all the new Afterlife toys. Funny though that they didn't pair Slimer with Peter...Thanks, great review!!
I would assume it will, since the new Fright Features figures are the same scale as the vintage kenner ones. So the Ecto would have to be able to accommodate both.
I wish the new Ecto 1 toy was less super stylized and more a semi-accurate take on the movie car. My old kenner ecto is so faded and missing all of the parts so would love an even better one that worked with the scale.
I'm in two minds whether to get these or some 6 inch figures. Only ever owned the Real Ghostbusters figures in the 80s, so I'd like to get movie representations. Just not sure if I should get these smaller ones to save space, or the more accurate ones.
Hi ya, great video and love you have them next to the original real Ghostbusters figures. P.S I ve heard the new ghost is called Muncher not chomper. 👍🏻 Great videos that take me back in time.
WOW my first time here and it damn sure won't be my last.Everything you said about the Gohstbusters figures is true.We wanted those toys & yes it was worth the waiting.Be safe be blessed take care everyone.
@@GeekDadLife Sweet deal! Appreciate the reply and thanks for the continued awesome entertainment! Grew up as a die hard Ghostbusters fan & late ‘80s kid so I can appreciate all of your content as a fellow Geek Dad hahaha... Cheers! 🍻
That's a good idea! I think they got delayed because the march is supposed to promote the movie. SoI assume they're holding them back to help promote the movie (if it still keeps the March date)
What the....how the...!???? Great review of course, AMAZING job placing them in the old Kenner Firehouse and vehicles alongside the old school figures. What kind of price point will these be at? I wish they would have honored the older Kenner purple background in some way. They look OK, but it's a little bland for my taste.
I believe they have a suggested retail price of 7.99 or 9.99. Yeah I do prefer the Purple and Yellow as well, but they get a pass from me since they also re-released the first wave figures lol
Amazing. Lots of potencial for customozation!!! I wonder why hasbro cheaped out of giving them different bodies like the real ghostbusters. Like a taller Egon... a chubbier Stantz. Etc. Great review lucky dad.
These being 7.99 I can see this would be the place to cut. The FF Ghosts have action features and paint apps, the same bodies doesn't bother me as much.
@@GeekDadLife yeah but they could have added a couple of bucks more but you make a good point. Love them a lot. I will paint the packs the lights and labels. And maybe add the hose and gizmo with some custom made motorolas. Lol
Wow, I have a big decision to make. I was going to get the retro RGB classics but may get these instead. Especially since they are selling an Ecto-1 too.
I'm honestly surprised they didn't reuse the RGB bodies with the new heads. Those would have added a little more diversity to the set... But hey, they still look awesome!
Yeah I could see that being a potential solution, but I love that we got the original RGBs back AND got these new figures as well. I think Mattel's movie releases for the 2016 movie can show how poorly Ghostbusters licenses can be handled.
I just friggin realized the set I got is different! My Venkman and Zeddemore came with the same ghosts as Spengler and Stantz, but just repainted (no Slimer or Terror Dog). What a JIP! Look out for the variants, people! Uhg!
@@GeekDadLife i disagree. lol. i collect GB figs, yes... but i don't like the cartoony look of these toys. But i also collect Ecto-1 toys, and i think the new one will look good on display with other figures AND with my other ecto-1s. i recently saw someone on instagram show off a custom repaint of the old kenner ecto-1 and they had pics with the plasma series and it actually looked good with them. so this new ecto-1 might also look decent with other figures.
I know Michael liked the return of 5 POA for the Rogue One toys. He also lamented not having Movie style toys in his review of the Real Ghostbusters line. I hope he reviews these as well!
I love these figures they have the look of what it Kenner did do the likeness of the Actors from 84 Ghostbusters and put them in toy form Now we have The Real Real Ghostbusters Hasbro you done good
hey McFarlane , Hasbro is resting on the fact that we will buy these.......Take em to school, show them what can be done if you care about anything else besides how high you can squeeze profit margins. What would happen if someone who truly loved toys was in a position of power?........first thing I would do is release a up sized G1 Jetfire. then I guess I would make Black series quality Ghostbusters
@Trantor The Troll true, mcfarlane is hit or miss, mezco are great but too expessive, I think diamond select did a good job. So good that I could never find them for retail, so I missed them all.Didn't want to spend $250 on slimer off amazon!
it's different from the original Fright Features that Kenner released in the 80's. I still want the characters to have the fright features instead. Also it's not good that their bodies are all the same unlike the orginal where Egon is taller and Ray is chunky. I still have my Kenner toys with me but they are all opened
These look good. I can see them being very fun toys for kids. I don't understand how Hasbro can run most of their lines very well and compared to how Mattel handled the Ghostbusters franchise. It's just poor effort and sad.
@@GeekDadLife Nice, I'm glad they fit into the RGB Ecto-1 and more, but cool that they are releasing an Ecto-1 for them as well. If they would have included a proton stream for this wave, that would have been the topper for me!! ha ha
Yeah sheesh only took 35 years to get toys we should have gotten all along - oh well... at least I can pass off buying everything from this line as my 40th Birthday gift to myself LOL - oyyyy....
Weird Ghostbusters fact.. The only character of heroes in the series that was snubbed of a toy was a guy in a wheelchair in the New Ghostbusters generation series.. Nerd fact for y'all..
@@GeekDadLife Yeah, even though this delay is for different reasons, Im still wary, but I definitely won't slouch on pre-ordering where available. Great video btw😁
The Kenner classics are so good. And these figures are a good update to modernity
I agree!
Hasbro knows exactly what they're doing. They knew GB fans would love movie figs in the same scale and animated style as the 80's toys.
Collecting many different toylines, Toy companies don't always do the obvious thing that would make fans excited, but I gotta give Hasbro credit that they've really nailed a lot of what the fans have wanted from Ghostbusters Toys for years... Whomever is running this brand, is really in tune with the fans. I'd love to interview them!
I really like the small terror dog that comes with Venkman. The blue color is how they appeared in the RGB show
Yes! That's a great call out!
Definitely getting these when they eventually do hit stores. Unfortunate about the delay, but appreciate you sharing your views on these with us.
Thank you for watching, these should be the most wide spread and available toys once they do come out, so hopefully everyone will be able to get plenty :)
Seeing all these again makes me wish I could go back to being a kid. The only thing I didn't have was the firehouse. God I loved the Ghostbusters and always will.
Might be time to do a grail hunt for a firehouse!
How well do they scale to the Plasma Series Ecto 1?
How have I never heard of these until today?! I'm soooo glad I came across this video! I just started buying The Real Ghostbusters action figures with Ray last week, and was planning to eventually buy them all. Now I know to wait for the better versions that are on their way.
This is how The Real Ghostbusters cartoon should have looked
I know I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
There is the short promo they made before the main cartoon series came out which looks more like these toys.
Dude your channel deserves a lot more subs than it has. Great work, I really enjoy your videos.
That’s very kind of you to say! We’re still a very young channel, so hopefully we’ll continue to grow!
I had a panic attack when you showed them in the ecto 1 and the firehouse, I have both. So I've never been so jealous and happy for someone at the same time!!!!
The fact that they are in scale with all the old kenner stuff is so awesome! Hopefully you'll be able to get them soon!
@@GeekDadLife I have a question, are the proton packs actually interchangeable????. Thanks for the reply!!!! "With the vintage kenner ones."
@@triceratroytv2292 They are not interchangeable with the vintage kenner or the re-release ones. :(
So the Venkman and zeddmore figures at my local store does not have the terror dog and slimer.
Now we need ghostbusters 2 figures and a jenine. And a gozer, and the carpathian. And MORE
the Rocketeer yesss!!
Scilari Brothers!
Yes!!! Library ghost. And my personal favorite SAM HAIN
@@thatoneguy378 The Ghost Gushers that have Ectoplasm and a mini ghost have a mini Samhain head!!!! :D It looks exactly like the cartoon one!!!! :D It's so cool!!!!!!!! :D

4:56 how come your H20 Ghost is so clean?
lol, that's how I found him, it must of not been used much by whomever owned it as a kid.
@@GeekDadLife Or it was run under the tap a lot for the action feature, ha.
How did you get them figures when they not out?
I picked up all 4 adults and kids today. Do you happen to know why the ghost figure extras have been changed? My Winston and Venkman have different ghost figures.
Considering that the playmobil accessories are slightly oversized, i bet the traps and walkies will fit in the kenner Ghostbusters hands.

Just found Egon at target. Only figure left on the shelf. Not just of Egon, but the entire line!
I wonder if these have been pushed back again closer to November? Now that After Life will be a Nov 2021 release.
I have never seen them in stores.
Where to pre order
Cant wait for them to release it in stores
Where can i purchase the kenner classics? The only thing I see is 2 figures as a pre-order on walmart.com.
OHMYGOD I can't wait to get these!! Thanks for the entertaining and informative video
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for the great review! Super excited for these figs and based on your review they look awesome.
Thanks for watching!
will the proton packs fit on the retro line?
they do not unfortunately :(
@@GeekDadLife That's too bad, but anyway, great review, subbed. 😁
I only saw these in stores once, and then never again. Are they going to bring them back out?
Man the pre orders for retro release never got shipped :(
Do you know when they will release these to the public? I’m hoping around March next year so I can get them for my birthday
I've been looking forward to these the most out of all the new Afterlife toys. Funny though that they didn't pair Slimer with Peter...Thanks, great review!!
Me too! I think the Terror Dog is the best out of the companion ghosts, the Fright Feature works great!
Personally I prefer the RGBs, but curious if the ecto-1 works with the vintage reissues, especially if we're not getting a reissue kenner ecto-1.
I would assume it will, since the new Fright Features figures are the same scale as the vintage kenner ones. So the Ecto would have to be able to accommodate both.
@@GeekDadLife guess I'll look forward to that if the price is right.
Any chance these fit in the Playmobil Ecto-1?
They are too big for the Playmobil Ecto unfortunately.
@@GeekDadLife bummer! still cool.
I just got a set of Kenner classic they are great! Can’t wait for these !
I bought them yesterday but the ghosts included with Peter and Winston were different. I wanted terror dog and slimer.
I wish the new Ecto 1 toy was less super stylized and more a semi-accurate take on the movie car. My old kenner ecto is so faded and missing all of the parts so would love an even better one that worked with the scale.
These are awesome!
Hopefully I'm able to get a hold of them when they eventually come out!
I'm in two minds whether to get these or some 6 inch figures. Only ever owned the Real Ghostbusters figures in the 80s, so I'd like to get movie representations. Just not sure if I should get these smaller ones to save space, or the more accurate ones.
Very cool ... These are awesome figures
Hey awesome vid!!! If u don’t mind me asking how did u manage to get them early. Because I am Dying for these figures!!!!:)
Hi ya, great video and love you have them next to the original real Ghostbusters figures. P.S I ve heard the new ghost is called Muncher not chomper. 👍🏻 Great videos that take me back in time.

Omg now u got me wanting them all😍😍😍👍👍👍
You gotta get em all!
Great insight here. Thanks for that! :)
Can I ask how you got them so early?
Some of the orders that toy dealers made got shipped, I assume accidentally as they were told their orders were delayed, but they still showed up.
I picked these up this week, but Slimer and the Terror Dog did not come with Peter and Winston.
Yeah they swapped them out for some reason...
I am insanely jealous and super excited to see these figures
Luckily these will be a full retail release, so when they do finally hit stores there should be plenty!
@@GeekDadLife do you know when there s'pose too hit store
Awesome figures. I have all of them with ecto 1 and. Make my christmas
PLEASE...
WHERE DID YOU GET THESE AND CAN I GET SOME TOO?? I'm DYING to get my hands on these things!!
A toy seller got them shipped, I assume accidentally, as he was told by hasbro his orders were delayed.
@@GeekDadLife Might this seller have any more he might be willing to part with??
@@damnedash9526 I found them on ebay, but they were way more than what they will retail for.
@@GeekDadLife Oh, you were the one who ended up winning those in the auction? I tried but it was too rich for my blood...
Love these! I’m gonna have to get them!
I can't wait till these are widely available either!
So, is the new Hasbro Ghostbusters line going to include figures of the kids in Afterlife that will be the new Ghostbusters team?
I assume we would get those in later waves?
They're probably seeing how well the film does first and sticking to the old faves first that they know will sell.
Can't wait to get these!!!
Will these be exclusive to any one retailer or?
#greatvideo #twothumbsup 👍🏻👍🏻
They’ve been delayed with the movie, but they should be everywhere when it is getting released
@@GeekDadLife Sweet deal! Appreciate the reply and thanks for the continued awesome entertainment! Grew up as a die hard Ghostbusters fan & late ‘80s kid so I can appreciate all of your content as a fellow Geek Dad hahaha... Cheers! 🍻
I have not seen any of those on shelf...
Hopefully we’ll get them close to when the movie releases!
Love it.. great videos
It would be neat to get a Ghostbusters cartoon series with these cartoonie characters.
Thanks for thr great review
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Why this series got delayed ?
By the way , now youre going to be able to display them like the Get Real- Crossing Over IDW comic series !
That's a good idea! I think they got delayed because the march is supposed to promote the movie. SoI assume they're holding them back to help promote the movie (if it still keeps the March date)
Jay, can the RGB proton packs fit into these? :)
No the hole isn't deep enough/ and is too wide.
@@GeekDadLife Ok, thanks for checking. I always ask for mix and match purposes.

Please always feel free to share! Thanks!

I don't understand how Hasbro can run most of their lines very well and compared to how Mattel handled the Ghostbusters franchise. It's just poor effort and sad.
Thaaaaaaaanks!
You're welcome!
The style reminds me of the wii ghostbusters game
That's a great call out! Def has that vibe!
I'd like to see them able to be posed in a combative stance when fighting the ghost
They look a little taller (except for Egon), than the real ghostbusters figures.
Yeah a little bit taller, but still work with all the RGB toys
@@GeekDadLife Nice, I'm glad they fit into the RGB Ecto-1 and more, but cool that they are releasing an Ecto-1 for them as well. If they would have included a proton stream for this wave, that would have been the topper for me!! ha ha
They changed the companion ghosts on some of them. Ugh.
The vintage packaging was the best I feel these like most modern toy packages look dull and lots of unnecessary packaging
Yeah sheesh only took 35 years to get toys we should have gotten all along - oh well... at least I can pass off buying everything from this line as my 40th Birthday gift to myself LOL - oyyyy....
Haha Treat Your Self!
Oh yeah slam dunk for sure
Nice
It sort of looks like the animation style of the game.
awesome possum...
Many many thanks
Cool!! ,though Venkman's pantlegs shouldn't be tucked in...oh btw....
FIRST!!!
jimbear62 Congrats on being First!
I have completed the real Ghostbusters figures. Well almost.
Weird Ghostbusters fact.. The only character of heroes in the series that was snubbed of a toy was a guy in a wheelchair in the New Ghostbusters generation series.. Nerd fact for y'all..
kenner picks up where Hasbro left off
Whomever is leading this line for Hasbro is doing a fantastic job!
I really hope "delay" doesn't mean "shortpacked"....memories of GI Joe Retaliation...terrible movie, pretty cool figures
I hope not, they spent all this money on them, so fingers crossed.
@@GeekDadLife Yeah, even though this delay is for different reasons, Im still wary, but I definitely won't slouch on pre-ordering where available. Great video btw😁
