Custom Ghostbuster art-toys

We’ve seen custom action figures for Ghostbusters, but more and more of late we’re seeing Ghostbusters art-toys – all hand-made by GB fans everywhere. Many art toys, particularly the Kid Robot line, encourage fans to decorate them as they see fit – even going so far as to sell blanks.

Two notables are one by HawaiianGB, who’s Ray is spectacular in its detail (the picture here doesn’t so it justice), and the other by jogger164, who has made a super-cute Stay-Puft (to raise money for cancer apparently – good jarb, mate!)

PC continues to encourage fans making anything and everything GB related to send pictures! We love to see them!

GhostbustersGame.com updates

The official website for the Ghostbusters video game has had a couple of minor updates in the past few months, mostly amounting to text from the Sierra newsletter – but a meatier update has just been made. For starters, the opening with Slimer has been expanded. More importantly, a new quiz has been added as part of our “callback interview” – the quiz is 21 questions long, and it’s not exactly a push-over. However, diligent players who score a perfect 21 get a wallpaper – concept art for a ghostly opera singer (A Fright At The Opera, anyone?) As well, players get a signature banner, proclaiming them awesome, and inviting others to try the game. Also, it appears that there are five more Callbacks to come.

The wallpaper you can earn yourself, but seeing as it’s good PR for the game, PLUS their copy-to-clipboard function is broken for the UBB code, here are the banner for your signature files.

Oh, and the top five Ghostbusters websites are linked from the game website as well. While I’m pretty pleased, for readily apparent reasons, it does mean that a lot of great sites can’t be included – I’m hoping maybe we’ll see more and more of them in the coming months.

Big thanks to Raffaele at Ecto-web for the heads up.

Puftcraft?

Did you all check out the mc chris nod in this last week’s issue of The New Avengers, like I told you? And why not? Nevermind, it was cool and you can see it here.

A fan of mc (and fellow “chris”) dropped us a line, asking us to check out his website. Why? Two reasons;

COooooool. Papercraft even MY stupid fingers can handle! All free to download, print out and go nuts with. I know what I’m doing for the weekend!
