The film Ghostbusters was released in June 1984 and became a cultural
phenomenon and an instant classic, reaching No. twenty-eight in the
American Film Institute's top 100 comedies of all time and voted
funniest film of the past twenty-five years by Entertainment Weekly in
2008. The release of the film marked the beginning of a franchise that
would include a sequel (with a third film being released in 2016, more
than thirty years later), comics, television series and action figures.
In this book, author and collector Matt MacNabb takes a look at the best
of Ghostbusters collectables, including action figures of the four
Ghostbusters themselves, some of the most famous ghosts from the films
and models of Ecto-1. The book also looks at some of the most unusual
collectables as well as looking at what might be collectable in the
future. Covering collectables from 1984 to the present day, including
many of the superb toys produced by Kenner, this is an essential read
for anyone looking to own their very own iconic jumpsuit, Slimer or
Ecto-1.
