Gozer to hit UK, Winston to hit Toronto (etc.) [UPDATE]

Con goers on both side of the pond have some GB options lining up fast.

Collector Mania, May 28th to the 31st in Milton Keynes, will have Slavitza Jovan as a guest! Thanks Bill!

For a rare sample of the reclusive Jovan, check out this classic PC interview with the lady herself.

In Toronto, the 2010 Wizard World Comic Con tour starts up March 26th, with Ernie Hudson in attendance! No word if he’ll be at any of the others, but there’s a good chance. Stay tuned

[UPDATE] Turns out a lot of Hudson’s appearances are already noted – Wizard Worlds Austin and Philadelphia have him confirmed. Those that want to keep an eye on news for the WW closest to them, and don’t want to wait for PC to figure it out, should keep an eye on the WW website. Thanks, Prof.

GB fan art round-up

The web these days is buzzing with fan art, more than ever before, and while some get instant attention, some pile up. Fortunately GBNews.com is keeping track – so here’s a quick update;

You still have a couple of days left to nab this custom Ecto-1 diorama on eBay – current bid is $140!


This pair of Terror Dogs is going for $500 on Etsy (or $300 alone… but why would anybody want them alone.) It’s pricey, but factor in hand sculpting and their one-of-a-kind nature (the sale site says these are the only ones they made), it’s not that crazy a price.


And as usual, DeviantArt is chock-full of awesome GB inspired art.

B-Movie Ghostbusters by Karlika
Stylized Egon by johnnymartini
Stylized Venkman by johnnymartini
Winston by awesome comic artist EvanBryce
No Humans Allowed by Gh0stbuster

Gh0stbuster also does some schweet! animation. Well worth the side click, really…

Ghostbusters by hasUnow

hasUnow’s gallery is also worth checking out, not only for his Peter Venkman, but all his film art.

GhostBusters Sketch Cards by TraditionalDanimatio

Dan shouldn’t need much introduction to PC readers, but these sketch cards (which he gives out with purchases of his prints) make me wish for a new collectible card set.

3D Slimer by Zlydoc

And just because not everything has to be flat;

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man by PortraitSculptor

Or how about;

Zuul by PortraitSculptor

Or how about his Venkman bobblehead, Slimer statue, or Venkman statue?

I’d go on, by a) GBNews has a steady hand on all this these days, and b) there are 9200+ hits for Ghostbusters on DeviantArt – I’m not going through it all for you!

Custom Ghostbusters Wii controller [UPDATE]

What was previously only an unverified dream, has now become a reality, and much more, thanks to the handy efforts of Jack Rossi. Using a wash of white plastic, he has married the Wiimote and nunchuck joystick to the Nintendo equivalent of a proton pack. Check this out;

And that’s just the wiimote thrower – be sure to follow the link to see the pack that goes with it!

Thanks to Clay for the link!
