I've waited months for these and they're finally here. WWE Ghostbusters action figures have hit shelves at Wal-Marts nationwide.<br />
<br />

WWE Ghostbusters figures may seem like a cash grab (congrats, Mattel) for two different types of collectors, but when you use just a little imagination, you can create a halfway decent back story.<br />
<br />
Ok, maybe not, and yes, these are some of the most unnecessary things to ever be made, but when you combine Steve Austin and a proton pack, you've at least got my attention.<br />

WWE Ghostbusters figures are available now at Wal-Mart for about $15 each. Hurry though as they're limited and scalpers are snatching them up fast, especially the Undertaker.<br />

Since I've recently gotten back into caring about this website after a four year hiatus, I figured that after a couple of merchandise news related posts, I ought to dust off "3 Random Things" which I initially started doing years ago writing small reviews or comments about random items in my collection.</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When you have hundreds upon hundreds of items, they can't always get a lot of attention individually, which is why posts like this are great. It gives you the chance to see more of what is in the Mr. Ghostbuster Museum, and it gives me a reason to look through my collection with a closer eye and find things that I might not have shared too often.</div>

<b><u>Random Thing #1: Stay Puft Watch</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
About a month or so ago I picked this up on Mercari. I think it ran me about $12 with free shipping. Oddly enough, I didn't already have one, let alone a carded one.<br />
<br />
It was a nice thing to come home to after a visit to the emergency room which resulted in coming home on crutches with a torn calf muscle.<br />

<b><u>Random Thing #2: Vintage Iron Ons</u></b><br />
<br />
I came across these for the low price of a quarter at a thrift store about 45 minutes outside of town. A whole unused package of vintage iron on transfers featuring the no ghost logo in various sizes.<br />
<br />
I remember coming across these at one point close to 20 years ago. We tried to make a shirt with one of transfers and it completely flaked apart after the first wash, so they'd likely be useless for anything other than displaying in the paper envelope in 2019.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Random Thing #3: Scented Ink Pad</u></b><br />
<br />
I've probably had this is my collection for a good two years now. I'm pretty certain that I bought it from a Facebook group for about $15.<br />
<br />
There were a few different versions of this made containing various colors of ink pads and various ghost designs on the stamp.<br />
<br />
I believe the guy who sold it to me found it at a thrift store. Definitely not an item that you come across often.<br />
<br />
To top it off, in a world where so many Ghostbusters products are now marshmallow scented with a Stay Puft tie in, this 30 year old ink pad may very well be among the first of those marshmallow scented Ghostbusters products.<br />
<br />
I plan to do more with the site. I think after my divorce that it just kind of fell by the wayside and forgotten about for a few years. It just never seemed like anything that I absolutely needed to get to or update, until recently when I decided to dust it off and give it a better reboot than 2016 gave the Ghostbusters.<br />
<br />
As always, you can follow me on Facebook under "Mr. Ghostbuster", and please be sure to share these posts. It would be great to get more eyes on them.<br />

While out and about this morning running errands, I needed to stop at the Dollar Tree to get some of those big padded envelopes to ship out some orders from my vintage toy hustle. As I walked in there was a huge bin full of DVDs and Blu Rays. I'm always a sucker for cheap movies, since I live in the cave man ages and am too cheap to pay for the 900 different streaming services.<br />
<br />
While never expecting to strike gold, there mixed in with copies of the live action The Tick series and a cheap load of movies that nobody has ever even heard of was this:<br />

In our little town, which isn't so little, but pales in comparison to real cities, we finally got a Five Below store.<br />
<br />
Tonight marked my third trip in. I didn't really find much the first couple of times, with the exception of decks of Ghostbusters 2016 reboot UNO cards at $5 each. I already have a couple, so I've declined picking them up in favor of things I actually need for my collection.<br />
<br />
While I didn't necessarily need yet another Ghostbusters shirt, this one is too cool to pass up, especially for the $5 price tag.<br />
<br />

Depicted is the familiar no ghost logo, however the red ring is replaced by a ring on runny slime.<br />
<br />
They had a large stack of them available, ranging from small to extra large.<br />

Every day that I spend inching closer and closer to 30 years old, I realize a little more that I probably own too many Ghostbusters things that I cannot for the life of me justify having.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That doesn't stop me from keeping them, or buying more, but it sometimes feels like I have them for no reason.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I remember that I have this blog thing. Somehow, posting these things here to share with everybody makes the guilt go away just a little.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During the past week, I've had a hoard of Ghostbusters VHS tapes come my way. I already have shelves packed, no, crammed FULL of Ghostbusters VHS, but for some reason or another, I cannot turn them down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It started lastTuesday morning when a friend, well, more like a guy that I run into quite a bit who knows I'm into collecting Ghostbusters, knocked on my car window in the Salvation Army thrift store paring lot holding up a REAL Ghostbusters VHS tape. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If that wasn't enough to tickle my fancy for the day, as fate would have it, a friend of mine, who is every bit obsessed with TMNT as I am Ghostbusters, sent me a message with a glorious pic of another REAL Ghostbusters VHS tape and 5 Filmation Ghostbusters tapes that he had picked up for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I truly believe that the gods of VHS tapes were watching out for me that fine day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I decided that since these two fellas were so nice for picking these up, I would semi-reward their thoughtfulness by dedicating a post on the blog to the insanely WONDERFUL artwork found on the front of some of my RGB tapes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No, these aren't all of them that I have, these are just the finer examples. Some sleeves are pretty beat up, and some are missing all together. I guess only the best ones make the cut for this post.</div>

A FRIGHT AT THE OPERA may very well be my favorite RGB episode. The reason behind that is that when I was just a few years old and already hooked on the show, I would get a little emotional every day when it was over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily, we got our very first VCR and my mom decided to record as many episodes as she could fit on to a tape. The episode at the beginning? A FRIGHT AT THE OPERA.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I vaguely remember carrying around a stick pretending to be the conductor of the orchestra from this episode.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yeah, I was a little odd.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

PLAY THEM RAGTIME BOOS is one that I don't mind watching, but not in my top 5 by any means.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cover here is actually pretty damn cool for an episode that I don't rank too highly on my list of personal favorites. A rock n' roll ghost show, if you will.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I picked this one up off of Ebay a while back. The seller turned out to be somebody who lives about 3 blocks away from me, so when I saw it listed, I just messaged him and made arrangements to head right over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The art here is something we have all seen before. It, of course, is the shot that was featured in a bunch of promotional junk when the series first came about. It also is the same shot that is on the REAL Ghostbusters metal TV tray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're sitting there thinking that you're now dumber for having read about VHS tape boxes, I really can't blame you, but it's the little things that I enjoy sometimes.</div>

<br />
If you missed the boat on this WONDERFUL say no to drugs video from 1990, you ought to be kicking yourself pretty hard.<br />
<br />
Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue was a promotional video aimed to keep kids off drugs while warning them of the dangers they face falling into the spell of the evil marijuana. Okay, I have some different opinions of reefer, but I'll keep those to myself. No, I'm not a stoner, but I don't condemn those who are.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
Anyways, literally every cartoon character from the 80's that we know and love is crammed into this tape.<br />
<br />
We're talking Slimer, the Smurfs, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Michaelangelo, Garfield, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Huey, Dewy, and Louie, Alf, Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny, Winnie the Pooh, among others.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The premise of the film is that a young girl named Cory wakes up to discover that her older brother , Michael, has stolen her piggy bank so that he can go buy some drugs.<br />
<br />
The "Cartoon All-Stars" take action to help Cory, but more importantly to show Michael the dangers of abusing drugs and the road he faces, all while trying to rid Michael of his evil new pal, Smoke.<br />
<br />

<br />
The real highlight is hearing Simon, in his wonderful Chipmunk voice, say marijuana.<br />
<br />
Seriously, this video could easily overtake Yo Gabba Gabba as the premier thing to watch if you're stoned or drunk.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I found a copy of this long loved classic this morning at a thrift store. I haven't seen one of these anywhere in about 10 years, so needless to say, I was pretty excited. Almost to the point of jumping and shouting inside of the store, but nobody wants to see that. I get enough weird looks for being a grown man who buys far too many toys.<br />
<br />
I thought I would take a minute to share with you, and let you watch this for yourself. Trust me, if it's not a nostalgic slap to your senses, nothing is.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Nearly a year ago now, the folks at Funko issued a whole series of their famous POP vinyl figures dedicated to out favorite movie of all time, Ghostbusters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The initial set gave us Egon, Ray, Peter, Winston with the Ecto-1, Slimer, and Stay Puft, along with about 6 billion different variants and comic con exclusives of each figure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I have indeed reviewed Stay Puft before, I feel a little silly for not having covered Egon. I suppose it worked out for the best, since now I can review it for Egon Week.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dr. Spengler comes to us all bug eyed, as only Funko can do, equipped with some of his favorite tools of the trade.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Egon is seen holding his walkie-talkie (are those even a thing anymore, or did cell phones kill them too?) and his trusty PKE Meter.</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Egon is also equipped with his Proton Pack, a necessary tool to complete any ghost catching adventure.<br />
<br />
While I totally get the fact that these figures are supposed to be likened to caricatures as opposed to actual likenesses of the subjects, they have always seemed quite silly to me. I may be old school seeing as I know these things a super popular among collectors, but hey, that's just me.<br />
<br />
The one thing I have noticed with Funko's Pop figures is that the overall quality can sometimes be quite lacking. In Egon's case, the no-ghost logo on his right arm is nearly upside down. I have seen many a Pop figure that has paint runs on it, or random spots of wrong colored paint in various places. I suppose that goes for any toy though. They are always susceptible to production flaws.<br />
<br />
While I do think they make awesome display pieces, my only major gripe would be the fact that there are indeed way too many exclusives with this line. There was the main line, a Hot Topic exclusive Stay Puft, Marshmallow mess exclusives, and slimed exclusives among others.<br />
<br />
While it can be fun to collect so many variants, it can be way too expensive as well, which sucks for people like me who tend to be completists when it comes to Ghostbusters.<br />
<br />
I know I didn't devote a ton of time to Funko Egon, but as I have said recently, I just don't have a lot of time to make these things big and fancy. Quick and painless is going to have to be how it is for now.<br />
<br />
I will try to write up a few more Egon related posts before the end of Egon week. Meanwhile, don't forget to LIKE Mr. Ghostbuster on Facebook and Follow Mr. GB on Twitter at @RealmrGbuster<br />

Yes boy and girls, it's officially EGON WEEK!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Egon Week was my little brain child to honor the late, great Harold Ramis, who passed away one year ago on February 24th. Sure, on the 24th of this month, there will be many a tribute out there to Harold, but why just one day?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the kick off to Egon Week, we'll be looking at one of my favorite figures of Dr. Spengler! Kenner's Real Ghostbusters Screaming Heroes Egon!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgujjo80AXQ_IT-mBNtvi_9D2EdW4bacDV7OyMI9T678vgYw8HWkm2tpcb3jozyErwhQe7QjOeXQW7kZJWxWeRQbWxeY3ytWb9RAQbIl2sb1OlAs1vPRoBhErcjT3MXkRsZuC1QsuS6Tj4l/s1600/S30A0939.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgujjo80AXQ_IT-mBNtvi_9D2EdW4bacDV7OyMI9T678vgYw8HWkm2tpcb3jozyErwhQe7QjOeXQW7kZJWxWeRQbWxeY3ytWb9RAQbIl2sb1OlAs1vPRoBhErcjT3MXkRsZuC1QsuS6Tj4l/s1600/S30A0939.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kenner no doubt had a herculean task to accomplish when releasing he next series of figures after the wildly successful first series and Fright Features lines.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They indeed struck lightning in a bottle yet again with the Screaming Heroes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here, Egon is decked out in a red flight suit, worn underneath what looks like a very high tech leotard. Nothing says Ghostbusters meets Jazzercise quite like these figures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This particular Egon figure was great because not only does red look absolutely badass on him, but he also came with a PKE meter!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sure, the first series of figures had the Proton Packs, but the Sreaming Heroes Egon came with a friggin' PKE METER! The absolute PERFECT accessory for Egon.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF8rC3RCF1JI5Bn4Wa-YInH4nrD83r1iKMgX1sq9gSdWcTtOFUsWEje2FVZfWiWqdgQEdN5esD_TuvBbomEGl_Ptc9JEsG4xU4aQe9-fX7IpxKwGmVN2rebhLqXKT1Y6AoxguMzcKE9vCh/s1600/S30A0940.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF8rC3RCF1JI5Bn4Wa-YInH4nrD83r1iKMgX1sq9gSdWcTtOFUsWEje2FVZfWiWqdgQEdN5esD_TuvBbomEGl_Ptc9JEsG4xU4aQe9-fX7IpxKwGmVN2rebhLqXKT1Y6AoxguMzcKE9vCh/s1600/S30A0940.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The whole premise of this series was that you would take the included ghost and attach it into a hole on the hero's armor. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ghost would stay into place while you twisted part of the figure. In Egon's case, he twisted at the waistline. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Go ahead, grab your Screaming Heroes Egon figure really quick. We'll do this together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Got it? Good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now get the big ugly blue ghost. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don't have one? Well, I suppose any of them from the line will do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You got the green one that came with Venkman? Okay, that works.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Lock it into place and twist Dr. Spengler around a whole bunch of times until you hear a bunch of clicking noises.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Got it? Okie dokie.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ZccOzLKKg2rX6BlJqJTRLYFrqDHXmz5lX9CCe54YSZOiBlaG4yletLiHw6L9ciCfHp8DM4siBH_3hqNZeiDsJ-2eOOSG94bai_Bnvgqq8ogRKC0GWrmTKVTuvtOFY_me9KCkxPj1uCLu/s1600/S30A0942.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9ZccOzLKKg2rX6BlJqJTRLYFrqDHXmz5lX9CCe54YSZOiBlaG4yletLiHw6L9ciCfHp8DM4siBH_3hqNZeiDsJ-2eOOSG94bai_Bnvgqq8ogRKC0GWrmTKVTuvtOFY_me9KCkxPj1uCLu/s1600/S30A0942.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once wound tight, there was a small red lever on the waist. When the lever was moved, Egon spun around fast enough to poke an eye out if you weren't careful enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I tried at least seven and a half times to get a photo of Egon spinning, it constantly came out looking like he was trying to strut his stuff on the cat walk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These figures were indeed nothing short of fan-freakin-tastic. With the idea that the boys in greay (or red in Egon's case) are out doing what they do best, and a sneaky ghost clings on to them and gives them one of the best "oh shit" reactions known to man, Kenner has us hooked from the start.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
I don't have a ton of time these days to just sit around and write up a big blog post about Ghostbusters merchandise, so it's much, much easier to do a 6 or 7 minute video and sit back and let it upload while I get other things done.<br />
<br />
This will probably be the standard format of this site for the time being, if not permanently.<br />
<br />
I will try my hardest to do at least one of these every week, that way I don't feel like I've totally given up on running this site. When I first started it, I promised myself that I'd always try to make time to post stuff and talk about Ghostbusters on here. I know a video may not be the ideal option for some, but it's what is going to keep this website current for a while.<br />
<br />
Today we take a look at the Rel Ghostbusters action figure carrying case. Enjoy the video. No it isn't perfect by any means, but maybe some day this videos will be a little more flawless and far less awkward.<br />

<br />
Truth be told, I'm snowed in today (yet again) and cannot get and real grown up work done, so I took a few minutes to do a video review of Kenner's Ecto-3!<br />
<br />
Yes, the video is kind of, shall we say, awkward, but they'll get better with time should I decide to keep doing them.<br />
<br />
Anyways, if you're snowed in and getting ready to go crazy, as I am, hopefully this will provide you with a few minutes of relief.<br />

<br />
Typically, I'm a pretty big Scrooge when it comes to the holidays. They just seem to be best left in the past when you had all the joy and wonder attached to it. As you get older, it seems to wear off, and you fill the role of gift giver and hand the role of gift getter to a younger generation.<br />
<br />
The transition is quite hard. It's never fun knowing that your best Christmas memories are far away in the past.<br />
<br />
However, there can still be some fun and excitement involved. Alcohol DOES help!<br />
<br />
This year Mrs. Ghostbuster let me open one of my gifts early. And what an excellent gift it was:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="300" src="https://scontent-b-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10494848_410945519059021_6957265608743056720_n.jpg?oh=956db24d29e4fde79590152b0910e1da&oe=5536F2BB" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yes, FINALLY I am the proud owner of the Ghostbusters LEGO set!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This probably took me a good two hours to put together with minimal breaks. I'll admit, I'm not the best LEGO putter togetherer by any means, but the Ecto-1 was indeed a daunting task to assemble.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After spending a large amount of time putting it together, I can kind of see what the big deal is about LEGO sets. They are indeed pretty fun. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now I really have to stop myself from ever buying more, because I could really see myself getting highly addicted to LEGO products.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Christmas Eve was spent at my Mother In Law's. Most people dread their extended family, but I kind of like mine. They are fun people.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="300" src="https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/1653794_413045012182405_7995811149763571948_n.jpg?oh=bc14f78e4a8054e2618a5fb753f91442&oe=54FCA8FF" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My Mother In Law, with a little bit of help from Mrs. Ghostbuster, nailed it this year with 3 AWESOME GB shirts. I may or may not be wearing the Stay Puft shirt as I write this.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For those who may wonder, I am pretty positive these came from the JC Penny website.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

As we returned home, ready to unwind and not see or hear another child's scream for at least a century, Mrs. Ghostbuster gave me my last gift, and boy, was it AMAZING.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am now the proud owner of a giant ass Ghostbusters logo.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My wife knew I wanted this one BAD. A friend of mine sent me a photo of it from a comic shop that is a little over an hour away from here, and Mrs. Ghostbuster had it sent to our door just in time for Christmas Eve!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's made of thick foam, and measures close to two feet across. Looks spectacular on the wall as well. The perfect addition to the Mr. Ghostbuster HQ.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And the perfect end to Christmas of 2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Be sure to stop on over to the Mr. Ghostbuster Facebook page and share what you got this year!</div>

It must be a rare day, because I'm actually updating this blog. It doesn't happen often lately. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll be the first to admit that I only have so many hours in the day, and most of them don't pertain to pondering "how can I get a few more views on my blog today?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But, as we all know, no matter how much time passes in between postings, eventually, I always find some kind of time to update this page and try to entertain and inform at least some of you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To be honest, I haven't even been very active on Facebook either. At least not on a regular basis. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, you didn't come here to see what I've been so busy with lately, you came to read about Ghostbusters!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today we take a look at Kylie from Trendmasters' Exteme Ghostbusters toy line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHeLfh9Ffi1dwJmCfmdhkumDrOl4AsrPDEvXFSz7-1TmVcSawUCfaRgAuxrLB5jalGhVujPNY7ikzjzD_Ot8W6wJrQZ2__NIZCTCAOsshlCa2AlWgxwTPW3ewR1L__i3R4wzdvfVDXa9X3/s1600/101_0597.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHeLfh9Ffi1dwJmCfmdhkumDrOl4AsrPDEvXFSz7-1TmVcSawUCfaRgAuxrLB5jalGhVujPNY7ikzjzD_Ot8W6wJrQZ2__NIZCTCAOsshlCa2AlWgxwTPW3ewR1L__i3R4wzdvfVDXa9X3/s1600/101_0597.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I mentioned previously on this page, the Extreme Ghostbusters toy line was highly underrated and produced in far fewer amounts than the Rel Ghostbusters toy line that had come out ten years earlier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While kids of the late 90's were all about Pokemon and WWF toys, the Extreme Ghostbusters failed to hit a home run.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's not that they were bad toys by any means, but they weren't something that was highly advertised, and the cartoon itself would be on at weird hours of the morning, like 6am where I lived. Name me one child who is bright eyes and busy tailed at 6am that cares about Ghostbusters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically, we can blame the failure of EGB on poor marketing. Really, that's kind of what it comes down to. Had advertisements been heavier, and the cartoon been in a prime Saturday morning time slot, Ghostbusters as we know it may be a whole different thing today.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kylie was a pretty cool figure. Not since the days of the Real Ghostbusters had we seen a female GB figure. Yes, technically you can count Janine as a GB, since she always came with ghost-busting gear, and often times suited up in the cartoon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kylie Griffin is one of Egon Spengler's students, turned Ghostbuster. She embodies everything of the late 90's goth girl, and also has a deep interest in the paranormal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing I love about the EGB series is that the equipment is a giant upgrade from your average proton pack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Neutrona wand is replaced with an easier to manage Plasma Blaster. Smaller, and more powerful, the Plasma Blaster packs an added punch to busting class five full roaming vapors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ghost trap was also upgraded and given a new look as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAVF8KDL0JWx8yAodov8W4793bW-CKNfI6Y3tT0Ht9Y_ZTkJNOw1JwvOmC4lnzvoQJ_PtmjxGT_3GAtAcVyvdYpaA7m4uU-cZbI5CY6Aes9CO21prx43KObKK4sIWpEb4EePKuzv0Va58a/s1600/101_0599.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAVF8KDL0JWx8yAodov8W4793bW-CKNfI6Y3tT0Ht9Y_ZTkJNOw1JwvOmC4lnzvoQJ_PtmjxGT_3GAtAcVyvdYpaA7m4uU-cZbI5CY6Aes9CO21prx43KObKK4sIWpEb4EePKuzv0Va58a/s1600/101_0599.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kylie also came with Slimer, who always seemed to find a way to depress me in this series. Naturally nearly ten years had passed since the original boys in grey protected the streets of New York from goblins, spooks, and demons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Slimer seemed to have aged, and not gracefully, in that amount of time. I suppose it speaks to our own mortality. Egon had aged as well. When they ran the Back in the Saddle episodes, everybody came back looking much, much older than we remember them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Again, yes, time passes, we get it, but it's always hard to watch our heroes age.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While Extreme Ghostbusters may not have been what die hard GB fans of the late 90's would have liked it to be, it certainly fit the "slacker, skateboarding, extreme sports, edgy" lifestyle that was present at the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Kylie and her upgraded gear, and rather unconventional uniform embody a lot of the 90's culture, but at the end of the day, it wasn't what we were used to, and for many, change is a tough thing to deal with.</div>

<br />
<br />
<br />
I suppose you could say it all began 26 years ago.<br />
<br />
It was 1988. Ronald Reagan Was the President of the United States, Michael Jackson was still black, and "A Very Brady Christmas" topped the ratings for CBS.<br />
<br />
Oh, and I guess that little cartoon called, "The Real Ghostbusters" was pretty popular too.<br />
<br />
For what seemed like months, and it very well could have been, I had been begging for my parents to buy me some Ghostbusters toys.<br />
<br />
I needed them more than I would ever need an education, more than I would ever need a liver to process insane amounts of alcohol consumed in High School, and more than I would ever need lungs to breathe.<br />
<br />
I NEEDED GHOSTBUSTERS TOYS.<br />
<br />
No matter how hard I begged, the answer was always the same. "Santa is going to bring you some."<br />
<br />
Santa? How in the world can I possibly just sit here and wait for Santa to bring me some Ghostbusters?<br />
<br />
In my 3 year old brain, I simply could not process the fact that I wasn't able to play with Egon, Ray, Peter, and Winston figures because I had to just sit back like a dork and wait for some stranger to drop in my house while I slept and bring me some.<br />
<br />
Oh no, the addiction was far worse than anybody could have predicted, even if I had nothing of my own yet.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
One night, as we roamed the aisles of our small town Wal-Mart, I begged again. I received the usual response. This is where my memory gets just a little fuzzy. Something happened. I don't know how I convinced them, but it finally worked. I wish I had some kind of video play back, because whatever strategy I used, it would have come in handy much later in life.<br />
<br />
My parents caved in. It worked.<br />
<br />
I left Wal-Mart with my very first Ghostbusters toy. A Fright Features Egon Spengler.<br />
<br />
I was now ready to sit back and wait for the fat man himself to shimmy his ass down the chimney and bring me more of these.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
We spent that Christmas at my Grandma's house in the backwoods, hillbilly town of Nebraska City, NE. I don't remember exactly how long we were there, but I remember the house that shit lived in at the time.<br />
<br />
There was this big room, which in all honesty probably wasn't very big at all, but to a 3 year old, it was giant. In one corner there was a Christmas tree with some presents, and in another there was a tv. The middle of the room had a couch and chair, while the other side of the room had a table and chairs, maybe some other crap too!<br />
<br />
The few days (at least what I think were a few days) leading up to Christmas were hell. Stuck in small town, middle of nowhere, Nebraska, and wondering if Santa was going to be able to find me and bring those Ghostbusters toys that my parents had promised he would bring for months was just killing me inside.<br />
<br />
I was ready to get this shit underway.<br />
<br />
Christmas morning finally did come. Like most of my mornings later in life, I woke up and took a shit. Even at the age of 3 I had priorities. Nowadays the first things I do are check Facebook and light up a smoke. Then I think about taking a dump. But hey, at least it's still part of my morning routine. <br />
<br />
As I took the browns to the Super Bowl, my dad stood in the doorway and said that we should go see what Santa Claus brought. I wiped and went.<br />
<br />
My haul that year was greater than almost any other year that would come after it. I got a talking Pee-Wee doll, several Pee-Wee's Playhouse toys, and yes, plenty of Ghostbusters.<br />
<br />

It was the first Christmas that I remember, maybe that's why I hold it in such high regard. It was also the first one I ever had involving Ghostbusters. There were other years that involved it too, and I'm pretty sure I'll talk about those as well, but nothing beats the first one.<br />
<br />
I have no idea where that house is located, nor have I been there in over 25 years, but I'll always remember the "big" room in little old Nebraska City, the room where Santa left me those Ghostbusters toys.<br />

In the late 90's, it was kind of the "in" thing to try and keep 80's cartoon franchises alive and well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles suddenly became Ninja Turtles, The Next Mutation, which added a 5th turtle, a female named Venus. Needless to say, this live action nightmare failed after only one season, and Venus was never heard from again.</div>

Ghostbusters wasn't ignored either.</div>

In the late 90's, talk of Ghostbusters 3 was all the rage. Wait, it still is. I guess some thing don't change. Either way, talk of a third movie was alive and well in 1997. Rumored stars who would make up a new team of Ghostbusters included Chris Farley and Will Smith.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While rumors of a third movie swirled around the fledgling World Wide Web, Ghostbusters fans old and new were treated to a cartoon series that served as a sequel to our much beloved Real Ghostbusters.</div>

Egon Spengler led the pack with a new team of Ghostbusters, his college students. Kylie, Eduardo, Roland, and Garret. Janine returned to serve as the secretary, and we even got an older, really depressing version, of Slimer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Naturally, with a new Saturday morning cartoon hitting the airwaves, we just had to get a new set of toys, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Among the figures and role play toys, there was the Plasma Blaster! A much upgraded version of the neutrona wand. Ghostbusting in the 90's, I guess.</div>

Before we delve into the Plasma Blaster, I think we should pay homage to this little shit on the box. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you'll recall, most of the children on the boxes for the Real Ghostbusters toys were very clean cut, coming across as looking like Timmy from Lassie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That was so 80's.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 90's, the late 90's in particular saw society move into a much more extreme, hardcore, edgy lifestyle. Jerry Springer was giving America daily brawls featuring cross dressers and strippers with hoo hoo's the size of beach balls. Stone Cold Steve Austin was the foul mouthed WWF Champion. Playstation and SURGE soda were a much better couple than Ross and Rachael.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think you get it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Look at little Mister Attitude on the box. Dressed all in black, hat on backwards, ready to bust some ghosts, flip off a cop, and explore the world of internet porn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay, maybe that was just me, I don't know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think the packaging definitely suits the time period and the Extreme theme of the cartoon, as we of course know, nothing said extreme in the 90's like a backwards hat. You hippie.</div>

The Plasma Blaster requires about 99 different batteries to operate. And they aren't the kind that tend to be laying around the house either. Nope. We're talking LR44's, C's, a Mazda MX3 battery, a small generator, and something big enough to electrocute a horse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While we go through this review battery free, just mesmerize yourself with the complexity of this toy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Just looking at this thing makes me feel like my 93 year old grandpa trying to figure out how to stick a tape into the VCR.</div>

No, really, he got it like 20 years ago and I still don't think he knows how to use it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Plasma Blaster is equipped with several features that make anything from the RGB series look insufficient.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are easily more lights and sounds available on this thing than any pre-2001 Cell Phone could possibly offer.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First, we have a nifty little radar that allows us to scope out a spook and fire a missile via the touch of the button in the middle. I like to think of it as the button you shouldn't touch for any reason, but totally touch in a panic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can just imagine your first day on the job, being handed your own Plasma Blaster, and Egon saying to you, "See that button? Don't ever touch it, under any circumstances."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But you do anyways.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There is a little red button on the handle that, when pushed, supplies us with lights and sounds. Of course, you can't just pretend that there is a proton stream coming out of the end. </div>

If all else fails, and you cannot find any of the 97 thousand batteries to power this little toy, take a selfie and try to make a bad ass face. Cigarette optional.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
God, my bad ass face makes it look like I REALLY have to poop.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Is the Plasma Blaster a terrible toy?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not by any means. However, much like the rest of the EGB line, I think they lack the overall simplicity and style that the RGB toys had. I don't think they changed for the worse, but I do think it was something that the 90's, and Ghostbusters fans, weren't quite ready to accept.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In recent years, EGB has found a following among a handful of original fans, but most purists refuse to give it the time of day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Myself? I'm glad there was a EGB. I liked it. It wasn't what it could have been, and was very different from what I knew and loved growing up, but some kind of Ghostbusters is better than no Ghostbusters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plus, without EGB, we would have never gotten the Back in the Saddle episodes, which remain some of my favorites to this very day.</div>

If you'd like to see this thing actually light up, check out the video, which was not made by me, but some guy who sounds like Crocodile Dundee, who makes a weird farting noise as the beginning. It's a terrible video, just so you know.</div>

I haven't done one of these for a while, so I figured it was a good time to dust off the "3 Random Things" series.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For those not in the know, I take a photo of 3 random things out of the biggest Ghostbusters collection that you will ever see and write a little about them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I have unopened packs and a stack of loose cards, nothing is quite as cool as a whole box of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few years ago at a flea market, I ran into a guy with a box of 36 unopened packs of Ghostbusters 2 cards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being the master negotiator that I am, and always looking to save a buck here and there, I scored it for $5 instead of the $6 that he had it marked at.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Where did that extra dollar saved go?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<b><u><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">2: Vigo Lighter!</span></u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While not an officially licensed Ghostbusters item, I have a soft spot for this Vigo lighter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Mrs. Ghostbuster got me this for my birthday last week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I do believe she got it off of Etsy. You know, that place where stay at home moms sell home made crafts and junk? Yeah, that one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While it's nothing more than a Vigo sticker slapped onto a 79 cent lighter, I know that when I'm in a pinch, and scrambling to find a lighter to light my smokes, I'll be in good hands with the home made flaming Carpathian.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While newer version of the Ecto 1-A model have surfaced in recent years, I was able to score a vintage model still sealed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not a fan of models, so that would explain why pretty much every Ecto model I have remains unopened.</div>

Last time I put one together, it was such a painful process. Literally. I got pissed at something on it and kicked stuff. Kicked it so hard I nearly broke my toe. It was fun trying to walk for the next few weeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I vowed never to put another model together ever again.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes boys and girls, it's another Ghostbusters cereal box!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've previously written about one of the handful of boxes in my collection, to which I likened the cereal to the taste of a dead squirrel's rectum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think it's pretty accurate, really.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Seeing as it would be far to hard by the standards of any decade to market "Dead Squirrel Ass" cereal, Ralston-Purina had to slap something wildly popular on the box to sell it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What better way to get children of the 80's hooked on dead squirrel ass than to include marshmallows and slap a Ghostbusters logo on it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overnight, Ralston-Purina had a hit on their hands. They knew just how to draw in us 80's kids. There was no way on Earth that we weren't going to beg our parents for it. Who cares if it tasted terrible? It had a freakin' Ghostbusters logo on it for heaven's sake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the 80's and 90's, childhood life was all about image, If you had something that somebody else didn't, and somebody deemed it "cool" you were the man, for a day at least.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you were late to the party, and jumped on the bandwagon last minute (or it took forever for your parents to buy you the thing that made you cool) you were just trying to fit in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Perhaps you avoided the things that were trendy and marched to your own drum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No matter what, you weren't you without your favorite breakfast cereal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
in the 80's, breakfast cereals were made for anything and everything. Fly by night cartoons and long running staples of pop culture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you could dream it, you could eat it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Naturally it made perfect sense for there to be a Ghostbusters cereal.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The particular box, while not of the usual Hologram variety, is amazing in it's own way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Adorned with a giant no-ghost logo on the front, meant to catch the eye of screaming kindergartners everywhere, the cereal offered something more on the box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While children of today's world only know "Cereal prizes" to be some long ago ancient myth, us 80's kids really had them. We had prizes galore, and some of the best giveaways known to man.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of those giveaways allowed us normal everyday kids to "Be A Ghostbuster"</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Screaming at your mom and dad to spend $1.75 to buy the cereal wasn't enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now you had to be extra volatile and squeeze another $1.50 out of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Even by 1980's standards, $1.50 wasn't some huge amount of money that if spent would relegate you to eating peanut butter sandwiches for a week. And for the money being spent, you sure got a nice haul to show for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before I get to what $1.50 got ya, I have to laugh at the picture on the back of the box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These kids were so excited to get their Ghostbusters package in the mail, that they rushed into the bedroom, pajamas and all, turned off the light, and busted out flashlights to view the contents.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think next month when I get my electric bill, Ill do the same thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All about reliving the excitement of a better time.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you've made it this far, you were a spoiled little shit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not only did you get your parents to spend $1.75 on a box of dead squirrel anus flavored cereal (with marshmallows!) but you also convinced them that they loved you enough to send an additional $1.50 for a pile of crap you would likely lose within a week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
God, you had it good, didn't you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For $1.50 plus the proof of purchase from the box, you would receive:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
an 11x14" Ghostbusters poster</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 Glow-in-the-dark door sign</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 glow-in-the-dark light switch cover</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 sheets of Ghostbusters stickers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A Ghostbusters button</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
and an official Ghostbusters Membership Certificate</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Man, Ralston-Purina was really making up for the poop flavored cereal weren't they?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I actually think I have a couple of the things that were given away on the box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll have to do some digging in the Mr. Ghostbuster Headquarters, but when I find them, I'm going to lay them out on the bed and shine a flashlight on them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don't bother me.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It FINALLY happened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After living in the same city together for about three decades, the Ghostbusters and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have finally met.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was given a copy of Issue 1 of the cross over by a friend of mine for my birthday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He is pretty much just as crazy about TMNT as I am about Ghostbusters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll admit, I haven't kept up on the TMNT in recent years. I know enough to get by, but overall I only really collect, or care about, the vintage series. Never got into the 2002 cartoon. The Nick cartoon has it's funny moments, but I only really watch that for my 3 year old Nephew.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I won't go into a ton of detail over this issue, since I know there will be many who have yet to read it, I will give it a brief run down, showcasing some of the bigger things, to give those who have yet to read a general idea of what to expect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The story starts off with an ancient demon warrior from the past being sent into present time by Krang.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In present day New York, Donatello is working on a teleportation device with some professor dude I've never heard of. Again, I don't keep up with modern day TMNT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When Donatello suggests that the Turtles, April, and Casey Jones test it out by going to the lair to surprise Splinter, and coming right back, they all hesitate, but eventually decide to do so.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the Turtles were preparing to teleport, a fly gets in the way and the professor slaps the wrong switch.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Long and short of it, the Turtles get sent to where they were due to go, but in a different New York City.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Meanwhile, the Ghostbusters battle the Bug Eye Ghost.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, I nearly lost it when I saw this. How freakin' sweet is it that in 2014 the Ghostbusters can be alive and well, battling real versions of toys that came out in the 80's?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The boys finish up and get called to a class 7 bust.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Turtles land in a church in New York where a wedding is taking place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Soon after, our demon from the start of the story, the class 7, shows up to raise some hell, and possesses Casey Jones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's when the boys in grey walk in and discover not only the class 7, but also the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or as Venkman calls them, "Kung Fu Martians"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is where issue numero uno ends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I really enjoyed it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only thing I would have liked better would be for the Turtles to already be in the New York that the Ghostbusters exist in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Maybe have it be 1980 something and they see a news report from April O'neil on the tv and people talking about the Turtles. They go to investigate and figure out the whole mess with the Foot Clan and Shredder, maybe a few ghosts along the way, I dunno.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, I'd love to get my hands on issue 2 when it comes out. I'll probably have to order it since the only Comic Book store in town doesn't typically carry these.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Trust me, it's on my to do list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back in 2012 Kroger decided to partner with Hotwheels to release store exclusive Ecto-1 cars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For somebody who lives in the middle of the country, these things don't pop up. We have no Kroger grocery store here.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily, I have a wife, and I have a birthday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm pretty certain she did indeed order this for my birthday a few years ago. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We'll say she did. Either way, it wasn't just handed over to me. I don't get those perks like other Ghostbuster sites do. It seems douchebags always get the free stuff.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I'm a big fan of the Ecto-1, the rest of the Kroger exclusives, at least to me, seem boring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess I could make one exception for the Batmobile. It's pretty ass on it's own, but when fitted with a Halloween design, it gets a little bit neater.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've never been a Hot Wheels collector. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There seem to be too many people out there that go bat shit crazy over Hotwheels stuff. So much to the point of knowing when certain stores get their shipments in and raiding everything before the casual buyers can get to it, taking out everything that they believe is worth money, and selling it online.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I think it's safe to say that this ain't your daddy's Ecto-1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being an exclusive to Kroger, Hotwheels of course had to fit the vehicle with an exclusive Halloween theme. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Makes sense, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The hood of the black car, with green tinted windows and a slime stripe on the side, is adorned with our pal, Slimer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's almost as if Slimer possessed the Ecto-1 making it his own or something. I can't quite put my finger on it, but glorious is too weak of a word for it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Instead of the much loved Ghostbusters logo on the doors, there is a plain and simple jack-o-lantern with the Hotwheels logo on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is where I have some mixed feeling about the car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think they really should have kept the no-ghost logo somehow. In fact, there isn't one to be seen anywhere, and casual passers by would have no idea that it was the Ecto-1 unless they actually picked it up and very closely examined it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shit, I didn't even pay enough attention to the fact that Slimer was on the hood until about 8 months after I received it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All in all, I do like the exclusive car. I guess it's just one of those things where Ghostbusters products seems to be better identified with the No-Ghost logo. I think it just goes hand in hand at this point, being that it is indeed one of the most recognizable logos of all time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For those who weren't aware, I did cancel the Halloween Countdown mainly due to lack of time. We'll try again on a smaller scale next year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But see, the thing about it is, Ghostbusters fits the Halloween theme any time, any day, so it doesn't necessarily need to be part of a special month-long countdown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Regardless, I was able to score a Neca Stay Puft Head Knocker tonight.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's talk about that, it's more fun anyways.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhypzOlQIUgqMA14wmsERthERHeYc7OMFgKce2W8wjbDqinwDaTl2o91So-_hpKhj3iHbNPbaJxUrCJjBznv-YMH1HF6AvnSEULgPRMBPEaGoFDzstXTRYnBRjVrZF8HaSijSgEnGBquTps/s1600/101_0043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhypzOlQIUgqMA14wmsERthERHeYc7OMFgKce2W8wjbDqinwDaTl2o91So-_hpKhj3iHbNPbaJxUrCJjBznv-YMH1HF6AvnSEULgPRMBPEaGoFDzstXTRYnBRjVrZF8HaSijSgEnGBquTps/s1600/101_0043.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The box, while very neat, bugs me just slightly. On one panel on the back, there is a shot of Stay Puft walking along and we see 2 screens. One has a photo of a Terror Dog. Good enough, right? The other has a photo of Louis Tully, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a photo from GB2.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yeah, I'm picky.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sadly, this is the only piece I own from the Neca line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When they were released, it seems like any store in town that could possibly carry them, didn't.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don't think that I don't regret it all these years later, especially since most of that line has skyrocketed in price over recent years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This thing is IMPRESSIVE to say the very least.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Standing about 7 inches tall (I may be a little off, oh well) it weighs at least 900 pounds. No idea how heavy he really is, but even just heavy is a gross understatement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The moment I set him upright, he wouldn't stop wobbling. It's like an obese marshmallow man suddenly got the urge to do the Harlem Shake. It was a sight to see for sure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stay Puft is pretty highly detailed, from his angry face to the cloth ribbon on top of his sailor hat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Neca wasn't messing around when they turned Mr. Stay Puft into a bobblehead.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgccbN03f-yuTz6zboMDjZ6eRgoSwXKNGc5_VZvtO9bSCS8jYhUWT6-4Df97PqIINkuKQnPaHt8N6whzLywpOm5WKxPK0mOpwZ2C1xC-hP6LGPpMI5g7BNLgldZ-ou_M1NJnxyAP3sldqTz/s1600/101_0045.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgccbN03f-yuTz6zboMDjZ6eRgoSwXKNGc5_VZvtO9bSCS8jYhUWT6-4Df97PqIINkuKQnPaHt8N6whzLywpOm5WKxPK0mOpwZ2C1xC-hP6LGPpMI5g7BNLgldZ-ou_M1NJnxyAP3sldqTz/s1600/101_0045.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To add even further to his detail, and overall amazing appearance, Neca included some crushed vehicles and road at the base on the toy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While safe to say it's not the rarest collectible in the Ghostbusters universe, it is pretty damn cool. If you ever have your chance to get your hands on one, no matter what, buy it, display it, and love it.</div>

Well, my mediocre Halloween Countdown continues.<br />
<br />
Mediocre because each post gets a whole 30 views.<br />
<br />
Exciting times.<br />
<br />
Today, we check out The Real Ghostbusters Mini-Shooter ghost.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The concept of the Mini-Shooter toys wasn't too bad. Basically, it was a pink, globbish looking ghost that came with 2 smaller ghosts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The whole idea was that you would take a Ghostbuster figure, and set him up to be the unsuspecting target.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You would then place one of the smaller ghosts inside the mouth of the pink dude.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once placed inside, you would take your fist, smash the shit out of pink dude, and the smaller ghost would fly, like a spectral bullet, towards our hero.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The concept was good, though it rarely if ever worked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think this, among a few other toys in the series, were a bit of a let down and not very well thought out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The idea of taking your fist and smashing something is fun, no doubt, but when the item being launched flies a whole 4 centimeters and plops to the ground, it always turns out to be one of those things that looked better on paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then again, I'm not 4 anymore. Maybe that's the trick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or maybe I'm not smashing hard enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Or am I smashing too hard?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, yeah. The mini shooter is a pretty cool looking toy, just wish it functioned better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sorry I didn't put a whole lot of effort or time in this today. I'm getting burnt out and just don't care at the moment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
30 views will never get me to care enough about anything long term.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
See you tomorrow.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If there is one thing I love about Ghostbusters, it's that there was never one main bad guy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He-Man had Skeletor, The Ninja Turtles had Shredder, and Luke Skywalker had Darth Vader.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Without one definite enemy, it left the Ghostbusters world wide open to come up with creative ways to find an antagonist of any kind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That is what I enjoy about the Highway Haunter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's technically a vehicle, but ghostly enough to make the countdown.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAi867FJYDJkJCbH_o7St6l91gpTqnHj_zWxdxO4ovSwKf9__WhFIIa5GE7VOfkfByorEIYYOwLMC8SV2ONxxRbZ9bMBfxOFSlLa30-EPZLlGM1-S_Y3Kqm6690wmAYsCRHl9ejNM_8RTK/s1600/101_2247.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAi867FJYDJkJCbH_o7St6l91gpTqnHj_zWxdxO4ovSwKf9__WhFIIa5GE7VOfkfByorEIYYOwLMC8SV2ONxxRbZ9bMBfxOFSlLa30-EPZLlGM1-S_Y3Kqm6690wmAYsCRHl9ejNM_8RTK/s1600/101_2247.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I was younger, I had friends who liked to refer to the Highway Haunter as, "Janine's car" being that she did indeed drive a pink Bug in the Real Ghostbusters cartoon series.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I suppose it is a safe assumption to label Highway Haunter as such. I mean, sure, the color is different, but it's still a Bug emblazoned with the Ghostbusters logo, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What other purpose would it have?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I truly cannot imagine a simple, plain, VW Bug, without any type of ghost tracking and catching technology inside, being used for anything officially by the Ghostbusters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It MUST be Janine's vehicle, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remember, though, Janine didn't always have the best of luck when it came to the boys in grey using her vehicle, which brings me to my next point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's HAUNTED!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you push a little tab on top of the seats, this big ugly dude pops up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looks like Murray the Mantis got into the engine block and infused himself with all kinds of wonderful mechanical parts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being as the Ghostbusters typically showed plenty of recklessness with Janine's vehicle, one does wonder, how exactly would you extract a ghost from the transmission without destroying the entire engine?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Janine, it looks like Egon owes you a new ride.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
X-Cop was one bad mofo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Part of my favorite set of ghosts, the Haunted Humans series, X-Cop appeared to be your typical New York City Police Officer, but you can't judge a book by looking at it's cover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Trust me, you can't. I though Moby Dick might have been some kind of awesome urban porno.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shit was about a whale.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As with the rest of the Haunted Humans, a normal looking, everyday blue collar worker has totally lost his shit and become possessed and is ready to unleash hell on New York.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Actually, kind of sounds like most of the homeless people there, huh?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To achieve the, ":I have lost my shit and want to kill you" effect, one simply lifts X-Cop's helmet up to reveal a ghastly skeleton underneath, as well as long, bony arms and legs that extend out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This really is one of the best figures in the Haunted Humans line.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This line is totally something that Kenner did right all the way around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A lot of thought, time and effort was really put into it to ensure that it was worthwhile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like to think X-Cop simply was a shooting victim while on duty who decided to come back from the other side to find his killer and terrorize the shit out of him.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Makes sense.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bonus for X-Cop is that he makes a very convincing substitute for the T-1000. Now you're going to try that huh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
No?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh well, I at least tried to be fun.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Boy, Terrible Teeth sure makes meth heads seem clean cut, huh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the larger, more gruesome ghosts from the Kenner line, Terrible Teeth is just what the name implies, a horrible, ugly ghoul with sharp, pointy, gappy teeth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While I was never much of a fan of the actual ghosts in the line, Terrible Teeth was actually pretty cool looking.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, I know, I suck for not loving the ghosts. I mean, I was down with the Haunted Humans series, but really, was always more of a fan of the heroes in any toy line as opposed to bad guys.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was a strange child.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like to think of Terrible Teeth, in all of his urine yellow glory, as a people hungry spook with an appetite for destruction.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The whole concept of Terrible Teeth was that once one of our beloved Ghostbusters got trapped inside of his jaws, there was little chance for a successful escape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using his tail, Terrible Teeth would munch on any human unlucky enough to be caught in his jaws of death, surely spilling out blood and bodily fluid all over the place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't feel well today so this isn't going to be very long. I don't care. I'm sure nobody even reads this anyways and that I can say whatever I want and I'll be the only one to ever see it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Man, I LOVE Halloween season!<br />
<br />
It's the perfect opportunity to review these AWESOME ghosts from the various GB toy lines.<br />
<br />
First we had Mail Fraud, and yesterday was The Hunchback monster. Today, we have none other than the Bad to the Bone ghost!!!!!<br />

He doesn't quite look like your typical skeleton, more like the skeleton of a ghost. A really dorky ghost.</div>

Hey, let's be honest, I don't know many ghosts who have buck teeth inside of their E.T. shapes skulls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You know what? Come to think of it, the damn thing does very closely resemble E.T.</div>

Anyways, the concept of the BTTB ghost is simple, yet very freakin' awesome!</div>

A pair of tabs on the back of the figure allow for his rib cage to open up, while he waits for the perfect opportunity to pounce on his Ghostbuster prey.</div>

Once he latches on to the prey, said prey becomes trapped inside of a skeletal prison, where he is not likely to escape with any type of ease.</div>

Seriously, I freakin' love this toy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I never had one as a kid and didn't own one until a couple of years ago when I spotted it, along with a few other GB items at a garage sale.</div>

I haven't come across another since, so, surprisingly, this is the only one I have, but it takes up a very special place in my collection.</div>

<br />
Day number 2 of "31 Ghosts in 31 Days!!!"<br />
<br />
Today, we take a look at the Hunchback from Kenner's Real Ghostbusters Monsters series.<br />

<br />
Short story about my history with this figure, when I was about 4 years old, my mom got the idea in her head that she knew how to cook.<br />
<br />
The most important thing you should know about my mother's cooking is that one of two things is going to get burned, either the food, or her.<br />
<br />
Having suffered through many partially black dinners, it was a welcome relief to eat something not so charred, but it came at a price. Mom burnt the living hell out of her arm. Pretty sure she still has a scar from it somewhere under all of the wrinkles.<br />
<br />
Well, that night my dad, on his way home from work, stopped to get her some band aids and such. It was a decent burn.<br />
<br />
I was already in bed fast asleep when he returned home for the night, so I knew nothing was coming my way until I woke up the next morning.<br />
<br />
As I sat in the living room, trying to shake the sleep off, I noticed our friend, the Hunchback monster on the coffee table.<br />
<br />
I asked if that was for me. I didn't know. Maybe dad felt really bad that mom didn't know how to cook and bought her a Ghostbusters toy to make her feel better. It could happen, right?????<br />
<br />
Nope. It was for me. Of course it was.<br />
<br />
The moral? If mom gets burnt or hurt in any way, I get a Ghostbusters toy.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Hunchback monster is gruesome indeed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
An ugly, wart covered monstrosity who was long ago banished to a bell tower to hide from society, he awaits the perfect time to haunt the normal civilians of Notre Dame. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And he's probably a virgin. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you squeeze the figure's legs, he breaks free from his shackles, tilting his ugly, disfigured head back to let out a loud scream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I mean, he could be good looking if you had enough booze in you, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Monster series were indeed to perfect set of toys to be used nearly 30 years later in this count down. Kenner did a remarkable job to bring these famous monsters to life in the Ghostbusters universe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While not as neat as the Haunted Humans line, they are still very cool to own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main difference between these and the Haunted Humans, is you know exactly what you are getting. With the Hunchback, you know you are getting a pissed off disfigures man hell bent on revenge, whereas with yesterday's Mail Fraud figure, what he appears to be on the surface is a far cry from what he will become when possessed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Either way, this series is a win in my book.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The countdown rolls on tomorrow for Day 3!</div>
