Not much more to say than that – issue #144 of ToyFare (the next one to come out, over the next couple of weeks. Check your local comic shop or magazine store) will feature Ghostbusters as the cover story, and look at all things Ghostbusters toys inside. Thanks, Randy!
ToyFare #144 Ghostbusters Cover
BUSTIN’ MAKES US FEEL GOOD
o The greatest movie of all time is finally getting the toys it deserves. No…not CITIZEN KANE… GHOSTBUSTERS!
[UPDATE]
Toyfare has their interview with Harold Ramis up online, for those that don’t have the magazine. Thanks, Dimitrios! Don’t miss the second page – it’s a very subtle link at the end of the first page.
What was it like seeing an action figure that actually looked like you?
It was weird coming after all the toy merchandising that was really predicated on the cartoon show. The movie drove the merchandising and yet they were afraid to use our likenesses because they didn’t know that we would stick with it. So, there was something more generic about the cartoon figures. I have one sitting right here in my office, the blonde Egon. It was cool that we created something that had that much reach into the culture. And now, to see one that actually looks like me and to see our likenesses in the new video game is incredible.

I already received my copy from my local comic store. The cover is pretty awesome…it has the letters “TOYFARE” covered in slime and the two toys on the cover are Stantz and Spengler. No solid release date on the toys though and the focus is more on 1984 and what a great year it was. They do have an interview with Harold Ramis which is pretty sweet and an interview with one of the guys behind the game.
Wow, that’s a really dope interview. The toys look fantastic, but that’s secondary to the great stuff Harold talks about regarding the next film. Although he isn’t the one writing the script, it seems as though he has contributed to, and is aware of the actual premise – which is exciting news in itself. Someone has to interrogate him until he spills the beans.
I sent Caste a scan of th cool ad that tipped me off to Issue 144, Hopefully he can post it here for everyone to enjoy.
Awesome Stuff coming through!

When you say Dimitrios, I assume you mean me.
No, I mean Dimitrios, the guy that emailed me the link yesterday.
is that a slime blower on venkmans back?
or a water cooler!!!!
Haha was that picture taken from the “See you on the other side, Ray” part? Bill Murray had a really feminine face for just that one shot for some reason. I always thought that since I was little. “Is he wearing makeup now?”
