- The Kenner Real Ghostbusters figures get ripped off by Sungold, the makers of the Galaxy Warriors. Who ya gonna give a jingle? Spook Chasers... if you can't get the Spirit Trackers that is.
(I've seen a couple more ghost color variants since making this video)

Sungold got in trouble for this, alright. Spook Chaser Egon's glasses are too pointy. He must have terrified every child that tried to play with him.
that and Spook Chaser Peter's looking way too smug, he should be acting like a mentally challenged manchild that can't shut up and gets everyone dragged into his idiocy, and enjoys the company of the star of the show, Slimmer
COULIE!!!!!!!! 🗡️
What if you take his glasses off and lasers pop out?
You’re kidding around, but I actually did think those glasses went a little far
Fuckin’ Q5. God I absolutely cannot stand people like them.
If there's something unusual, that gives bad vibes, with whom are you gonna get communication?
Spook Chasers!
I got no fear of no phantoms!
Ah! Egon's pointy glasses really scared me!
10/10 they didn't forget about Winston.
Idunnoyouguessit he aint gettin chased tho, wtff 😠😡😤
'CAUSE HE'S THE DRIVER! DURHURHURHUR Q-5!
Unlike the NES Ghostbusters games.
But they have those terrifyingly sharp glasses on Egon!
"I believe our Trademark is being infringed."
~Egon Spengler
Jomaster The Second Shit go's down and who ya gonna call? Our lawyers!
ah yes, Palmer, Roy, Erwin and Weston, my favourite spook-chasing team, and their gorgeous telephone operator: Jolyne
Peucoman Don’t forget their spook companion, Goopy!
and don't forget Larry, he was added later on
Jolyne? Like Jolyne Cujoh?
@@LaNoLaCola No, like the Dolly Parton song, but played on a 45 at 33⅓ RPM.
Is waldo the black guy?
The actual figures have more expression. Uh, unsurprisingly.
The Chasers boys all look like they've achieved some sort of nirvana and have no need for emotions other than pleasantly surprised.
If something out of the ordinary is happening in your place of residence, who would you personally telephone?! Spook Chasers!
Jomaster The Second Chasing makes me feel indifferent.
Slimmer and the real Spook Chasers!
"And me!" "And me!" 👻
They messed up BIG with spook chaser Egon. His glasses are way to sharp looking. The kids might feel threatened.

Q5 Spook Chasers
🤣yep
I can't wait for the all female Spook Chasers reboot.
Spook Chasers: Reply to the Mention
It will be funny seeing all the red-pilling men cry about it on the internet.
+culwin Yes, and all the SJW's call you a misogynist if you don't like the film.
And for all the misogynists to whine about it
I think we took this joke way too far
You know the parts where Phelous plays with the toys used to make me uncomfortable when I first started watching, but now that I've gotten used to him I'm starting to really appreciate the comedy he puts into it, like that "clear your minds of a theme song" bit wad genius lmao
"When there's something weird, in the bootleg zone , who you gonna call, Spook Chasers".
Nathaniel Foga
Old Man: It seems that *I* was expected to chase some spooks!
Wabuu: These spooks are sooooooo stupid! They're gonna get burned to death with this plastic hook! He he he he he!
Vegeta: Time to send these spooks to another dimension!
Bat Hero: I'm here to chase the spooks.
Tommy Deonauth's Archives Old man: "the ghost got wet , they're completely useless now".

Goron: *winks at the ghost*
I always admire the effort and research you put into what is essentially cheap plastic but historic cheap plastic. It's surprisingly interesting
Right? This is one of the most unexpectedly interesting series on TH-cam, hands down.
Not to mention these segments are sometimes literally NOT low budget. $167 for a vintage bootleg toy is no small potatoes.
Samantha Port Certainly better than Josh Thomas... Or any TH-camrs worse than him for that matter.
I imagine that in the future, when these things are antique and the 80s are of interest to historians, some of them might use Phelous' research as a stepping off point, which is a cool idea
Okay I got it, so the Ghostbusters are examining a haunted Frank Frazetta painting...
Staring Phelous as Peter, of course.
What if the spook chasers are ghosts in disguise trying to replace and get rid of the real ghost busters?
there was an episode of the cartoon exactly like that. A group of ghosts called Peoplebusters hunted humans.
ghostbusters.wikia.com/wiki/Flip_Side
There was an earlier episode similar to that too, but it didn't take place in an alternate universe.
I wouldn't put it past the reboot to do that.
That's basically the plot of the "ghosts r us" episode
Ah, the Spook Chasers, with Blegon, Bleter, Blinston and Blay.
Meet the spook chasers!
Peter (pronounced pet-er)
Eggon
Roy
Wynston
And the star! Slimmer!
If there's something unusual in the area in which you live, who do you plan to contact?
An intangible guy
Resting in your bunk
Oh, to whom will you signal?
onjohns1 I lack the mental weakness to buckle under the intense stress and fear that comes with dealing with phantoms
Chasing puts me in a delightful mood
sperk chersers!
Uh...The League of S.T.E.A.M.?
It’s like that episode where the Ghostbusters had to fight their specter counterparts.
And now for my favorite part. Phelous playing with toys using silly voices!
The "Peter" looks like the one from the pilot short
Every time you open a rare carded figure, if you listen carefully, you can hear a collector scream in the distance.
Really enjoyed the video and your other Ghostbusters videos too. As a kid, the Real Ghostbusters was a favorite show of mine until the changes (I quit watching when they renamed it Slimer and the Real Ghostbusters), so I love finding more about the series and the merchandise that spawned from it. Keep up the great work!
5:30 Egon looks like he has eyes on his forehead.
Actually, he does. The stylin' shades are a decoy to distract from them, like how other animals have.
I love how you used your "Coulier" voice for Sungold Peter and the lame DVD soundtrack. All it's missing is "Soucie" Janine.
I'm casting the Spook Chasers movie. So far i've got:
Egon = Judge Reinhold
Peter = David Schwimmer
Patton Oswald for Ray
Kevin farley for Ray. Ernie Hudson for winston lol
Who should we cast for Janine?
@@HoneyBun44 Laura Summer
The little tidbits about the manufacturer and stuff are why I really like this series.
Love the vid! I actually have a purple version of "Egon's" ghost
When I was a kid, I had the one that's supposed to be Ray for a long time before I got my hands on the Kenner one. My mom bought it at a gas station lol
The Real Ghostbusters vs The Fake Ghostbusters.
Great video of a obscure "toyline". I am a proud owner of two sets of these figures. Had them as a kid. Never played much with them, so mine are in excellent condition. While each figure seems to come with a particular ghost, the color can vary on all four ghosts. The colors range from green, yellow and purple. Yellow seems to be the most uncommon color.
Ever since you had those two Spook Chasers on your Fire House I have been waiting for you to review them! I'm glad you finally got the complete set!
I have no personality...but Phelous makes me laugh.
That time Steve Martin was a Ghostbuster...
Bootleg Ray is what it would look like if Jim Belushi played the character.
Michael Kuzmanovski and Bootleg Egon looks like Anderson Cooper with shades.
Though Jim Belushi was supposed to play Peter
@@nickmanzo8459 john belushi was. Which is why jim would be good to play knockoff peter
Wasn't there an episode where they dealt with knockoff Ghostbusters? That would fit the bill nicely. :)
Been looking for a carded "Egon" Spook Chaser for years... damn you Phaylus!!!!
I think we kind of expected this review to come since he mentioned it back in the Galaxy Warriors Review.
Great vid. I would have called them Ghost Grabbers instead of Spook Chasers. I mean, they don't even chase the CIA.
Au contraire! Once you become a CIA field agent, they implant you with a device at the base of your spine that can instantly deactivate you if your waist is grabbed like the scruff of a cat's neck.
That ghost cookie monster joke.
The knock-off Ray looks like Doberman out of The Phil Silvers Show (Sgt. Bilko).
And for UK viewers, the knock-off Egon (who, c'mon, actually looks kinda cool) has a touch of Paul O'Grady about him!!
Mmm I think I can see it
Anyone else notice the ring on Phelan's finger?
Sharp Hand Joe!
Had to rewind on Winston doing the rocket kick, then the other Winston steps on him saying, No. That got a giggle out of me.
The best way to get rid of shit you don't want is to sell it in lots. I had a couple complete, mint in box rare NES games, but I also had a huge lot of NES related junk I wanted to unload. So I put the whole thing up with the intent to sell those rare games and unload everything else I don't want. If people want Duck Tales 2 complete in box, they'll just have to buy the whole damn lot.
kudos to them making the bit attaching the pack to the gun string instead of plastic so it wouldnt snap and break
The theme song at the end really should have been I Want A New Drug
I remember as a kid seeing a commercial for CITV's showings of Real Ghostbusters that being with a kid playing with 'the Pretend Ghostbusters' using various unrelated toys (like a Playmobile figure). I guess we've now found the actual Pretend Ghostbusters.
didja know that "spook" (pronounced: spoke) is dutch for ghost 👻
We all have arrived, we bore witness, and we promptly gave it a wallop.
Seeing you do a Bootleg Zones review is a real treat! Keep up the good work!
As a big fan of Ghostbusters I highly enjoy this video! Lots of wonderful jokes and silly moments! Certainly makes me smile and laugh a lot!
Oh man you got a one armed Peter?! He was my favorite Spook Chaser as a kid!
But all joking aside I adore when you do Ghost Buster/Spook Chaser videos. Whether you're talking about the cartoon, toys, or third option here I really enjoy hearing your thoughts.
I love the references to the bad seasons of Ghostbusters and the crappy DVD in the final skit
A Doc Savage story was originally called Spook Legion. (Crooks who could turn invisible) When it was reprinted as illustrated hardcover by Whitman (during the 70s movie) it was changed to Ghost Legion.
My favorite part of these reviews is you playing with them at the end, haha
Spook is a racist term?!
Well, you learn something every day.
Sometimes you wish you didn't.
Makes you feel like a real spade doesn't it?
One of Biff's 1950s gang uses the term in Back To The Future.
It just makes me think of The Wizard of Oz. 'I do believe in spooks, I do believe in spooks, I do, I do, I do, I.... Do!'
Racists are why we can't have nice things
Spook isn’t racist. People are just idiots
I swear those Spook Chasers Egon’s glasses are WAY too 80’s to handle.
I apologize for the shitty joke.
My mind was secretly hoping that the theme song chosen at the end would be Bustin by Neil Cicierega.
"DAMN YOU, Q4!" I died.
The Real Ghostbusters? More like the TRUE Spook Chasers
-Regon
-Weter
-Eay
And Pinston the CONDUCTOR
My grandmother got a Spook Chasers figure for me when I was younger. Sadly I got rid of it years ago when I was moving. Great video sir. I try to watch every Bootleg Zone vid you make.
(Applauds) You finally got them!
Spook Chasers sounds like a Stirner's joke
If Spook Chasers had a movie Winston would be played by Samuel L Jackson. They'd have had to pull a reverse Captain Marvel and digitally age him.
I getting sick of these motherf***ing ghosts in this motherf***ing building!
I had the Peter one as a kid. I thought it was a new series due to the fact that (If i remember correct) Ghosbusters toys were starting to loose popularity.
This guys voice is why Venkman hates Slimer. He makes me want to put a fork so far into my head that I dont wake up
At least they didn't make a white Winston...or just have him as their driver
I don't feel fear of those spooks!
You finally managed to get a grab on these overpriced bootlegs?? Kudos =o
Btw, if the Feig's Ghostbusters had an official toyline, would you consider it bootleg? Haha
I bet there was a late-90s reboot called Intense Spook Chasers
Yeah these things are definitely hard to come by. I can't believe you opened that figure! Something tells me if you live in cambodia or something like that you could find them everywhere haha.
To me, Spook chasers looks like the awesome adventures of Max Headroom, Babe Ruth, Larry from Upstairs.....and World famous Rice Chef Uncle Ben.
Well, Janine doesn't get a figure, so maybe Q5 DID get involved with these. On the other hand, there's no Slimer either, so that makes their involvement unlikely
The Spook Chasers sounds like a movie that would feature on Halloweenie!
The ray bootleg kind of looks like John Belushi
Spook chasers? It should've been called Ghastbumsters.
Ghast Bumstocks!
White Wolf 11 months later and I lol’d
Since it's October, and the bootleg has spook, you know what that means...
When the REAL Ghostbusters are getting popular via toys, who we gonna call to cash in on them? SUNGOLD!
Chasing makes me feel good.
Spook Busters, Peter and Ray were planned to be played by James and John Belushi
Spook Chasers Winston looks like a zombie from the original Dawn of the Dead.
Filmation were going to make a Spook Chasers cartoon based on the old movie called The Real Spook Chasers.
Ah Phelous, my friend's your biggest fan.
they seem to have captured Cookie Monster and poor Patrick Star, both not ghosts, whom they should not be allowed to imprison
Ever since I saw Spook Chaser Egon in the background of your videos, I've been waiting for you to cover this. Thanks for making this Halloween season, extra special. ^ ^
I could totally see these guys in a plot similar to IDW's comic. That they were an off-brand Paranormal Extermination company who reversed engineered the proton packs (however no Nintendo Zapper this time :P). They created all this tech, but really didn't know how to use it. Then like in the IDW comic and it comes back to bite them in the ass similar to the "Play-doh" ghost legion lol
I once had an obsession with ghost busters back then.
The Spook Chasers Peter & Ray look like the Abbott and Costello knock-offs from Zombies on Broadway.
How did you not chose New Drug by Huey Lewis and the News? I'm pretty sure they got in trouble for ripping off the Ghost Busters theme back in the day. I was totally expecting that at the end of the skit.
One-armed Peter. That just seems hilarious to me. Now, a one-eyed Peter......
It is nice to see that they included all 4 of the ghost busters, something Nintendo couldn’t do & yet a bootleg can,... lol,... how sad
Sun golds marketing department decided that kids only like slimer so they would later make whole series of figures that are just slimers, but their slimer was called grimer. After that the series went down hill.....
Spook Chaser's Ray looks like Lou Costello.
Your bootleg videos are the best.
"Spook" can also be used to denote a spy or secret agent.
How is Kenner Winston's Jumpsuit Dark Blue? I see it as a very light almost white green.
Are you going to talk about the TMNT/Ghostbuster toys? I was sure you would have had a video up for that a while back
17:03 And this is why I love you, man. lol
Ray looks more like Belushi than Aykroyd and Peter looks like Adrien Brody.
Meet the Spook Chasers!
Perry, Roy, Erwin, and Winfield.
Phelan, my town's library is doing trick-or-treat and I'm still gonna wear my Ghostbusters jumpsuit regardless.
