Funko has announced a new wave of Funko Pop! vinyl figures from the animated television series The Real Ghostbusters.
The Real Ghostbusters characters transformed into Pop! figures.
The Real Ghostbusters was an animated television series that captured the imaginations of children and fans of the supernatural across the globe.
Based on the 1984 blockbuster Ghostbusters, the series premiered on September 13, 1986, and ran for seven seasons, concluding in 1991. It was developed by the creative duo Joe Medjuck and Michael Gross and produced by Columbia Pictures Television and DIC Entertainment.
The show followed the further adventures of the original Ghostbusters team – Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore – alongside their secretary Janine Melnitz, their mascot ghost Slimer, and an array of quirky supporting characters.
The series expanded on the Ghostbusters universe, delving into paranormal investigations, battling spectral adversaries, and exploring alternate dimensions, all while maintaining the comedic tone of the original film.
The show’s animation style was vibrant and fluid, appealing to younger audiences while also tackling themes mature enough to keep older viewers engaged.
The series’ title, The Real Ghostbusters, distinguished it from a similarly named 1970s cartoon Ghostbusters. It gained immense popularity, spawning toys, comics, video games, and merchandise that solidified its place in pop culture.
Even decades later, The Real Ghostbusters remains a nostalgic treasure, beloved by fans for its creativity, humor, and heart. It paved the way for spin-offs like Extreme Ghostbusters (1997) and continues to inspire new generations through streaming platforms and home video releases.
Characters from The Real Ghostbusters have been transformed into Funko Pop! vinyl figures and are part of the Funko Pop! Animation series.
The newly announced wave includes four new The Real Ghostbusters Funko Pop! vinyl figures, including Winston Zeddemore, Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz and Peter Venkman with Slimer.
