Extreme Ghostbusters reference art posted online

The only thing better than artists posting new work online, is artists posting old work online. In this case, Thomas Perkins, who worked on The Extreme Ghostbusters, has been posting some of his reference art from over a decade ago, including concept art for Home Is Where The Horror Is and Ghost Apocalyptic Future.

One of the interesting things to note is that the concept art of Tempus, for Ghost Apocalyptic Future is marked as being as being episode 19, when in reality it was aired as the 18th episode (you can see all the crazy production number/air-date shuffling at Spook Central)

And if you’re new to the site (meaning, you only started reading at some point in the last ten years), check out PC’s interview with RGB and EGB vet Fil Barlow!

In addition to Real Ghostbusters, Comcast customers can now watch Extreme Ghostbusters via their On-Demand system (it’s in the kid’s section, under Kabillions.) Oddly, it’s apparently labelled “Ghostbusters Dark”. (shrug)

Region 4 Extreme Ghostbusters DVD gets fan thumbs up

Jason wrote in to say that he went out and picked up the region 4 Extreme Ghostbusters DVD, with the first 13 episodes, and was happy he did;

I just wanted to let you know that I got my Region 4 “Extreme Ghostbusters” 2-disc DVD set in the mail yesterday. I’ve got a region-free player, and pre-ordered the set from Australia as soon as I saw your story about it weeks ago. As expected, there are no real extras to speak of, but it does contain the first 13 episodes of the series with impressive video and sound quality. No one who is a GB fan and owns an all-region DVD player should be on the fence about buying this. Get it now so we can get the rest of the episodes released. Or so we can show Sony there is enough interest for a Region 1 DVD set.

Well, I’m certainly considering it – Jason got his with no hassles via EasyDVD for $15 (Australian?)

Maaaaan. I mean, hommmmmmmmme.

It’s been known for awhile that the EU, or at least France, was going to get their own editions of The Real Ghostbusters DVDs and more importantly, their own DVDs of The Extreme Ghostbusters. Now we have a release date and box art. June 24th, a week after the release of the movie Blu-ray discs and video games, French S.O.S. Phantomes fans can buy the first set of DVDs. The DVD is listed as “season 1, volume 1″, though the box says “the spook-tacular first season.” So, it’s not clear if this is only part of the series, but it is likely. At four dozen episodes, Extreme Ghostbusters is a lot to put into a single, simple set as shown on the website. The Real Ghostbusters DVD set is definitely just the first chunk.

Now, here’s the question. Why are the boxes in English? UK sets coming? North American sets coming? Let’s hope so. Stay tuned. Thanks to Biodome for the heads up.

[UPDATE] The DVD is also slated for release in Australia as well as France (as seen on GBFans forums) – the set is 13 episodes on two discs, so expect two or three more to come.

Remember the Bargain Bin Beats blog we mentioned last month? The one that put up some sweet Ghostbuster mp3s? And promised to put up more later? It’s later. And that’s all I’ll say. You should drop in on their site.

Toyfare on the Ghostbusters at Toy Fair

141trekcoverthumbnail 141wolverinethumbnail Issue 141 (May 2009) of Toyfare magazine has an excellent interview with Mattel Associate Brand Manager, Scott Neitlich about their upcoming line of Ghostbuster figures. I’d recommend that everyone that can check out the article do so (no scans in the comments please), but here are a couple of interesting points to come out of the most informative article on the Mattel toys to date;

- Mattel has the rights to the classic movies, the cartoons, the video game, and provided it goes into production in the next couple of years, a third movie.

- Mattel has likeness OKs for Ayrkoyd, Ramis, and Hudson, with several sculpts ready and waiting for Bill Murray’s final sign off.

- Mattel is hoping to get the likeness OKs from other primary actors, such as William Atherton, Rick Moranis, Sigourney Weaver, Annie Potts, and even David Marguiles (Mayor Lenny.)

- Mattel plans to produce cartoon figures as well as the classic films. If a third movie is made, they intend to produce age targeted brands – high detail for the adult collectors and cutesy, Super Hero Squad-esque figures for kids.

- Figures will be packed with a ghost, with Slimer, the Librarian, and Taxi Driver ghosts currently in mind. Plans are in the works for Gozer, the Terror Dogs, and Stay-Puft, but are leaving them until much later due to NECA’s “Excellent” line of figures.

There’s also a call-out section on the MiniMate Ghostbusters, which suggest a good possibility of an exclusive Slimer at some future point.

There are also some sweet pictures of the figures, including an illustration of the never-before used shoulder joint the 12 inch figures will be using (trust me, that kind of thing is important to figure collectors.) Thanks to Randy and Jack for the heads-up!

The awesome blog, Bargain Bin Beats has posted a selection of Ghostbuster MP3s, including the entire Tahiti Real Ghostbusters soundtrack, Run-DMC’s title single from Ghostbusters 2, and Jim Latham’s Extreme Ghostbusters theme. The site editor says he has the entire Extreme Ghostbusters soundtrack to upload in the future – I’m wary, but intrigued. Stay tuned! Thanks Andreas!

Tristan (who’s been working on something very special for the next issue of Cereal:Geek – more on that later) spotted this – an Australian listing for a Sony Pictures release of Extreme Ghostbusters on DVD. Add that to what we’ve heard, this is very encouraging! But still, we’re without hard facts. Stay Tuned!

I’ve recently become addicted to GraphJam, which is in the same vein as LoLcats, only using graphs and flowcharts. You know, like this;
The Plan
I did that one. The thing is, that makes exactly three Ghostbusters jokes on GraphJam, mine isn’t even technically “on” the site, as it’s still in the submissions pile, and one is the easy joke and the other I’m still scratching my head over. So, why not try your hand – GraphJam has an explanation/tutorial on making them. Then submit them to GraphJam – let’s see if we can’t get some more GB love on their site. Also, if you’ve got a zinger, send them my way – we’ll start a thread at GBFans or something.
