SDCC 2010: Mattel’s Ghostbusters display

ToyArk has some good photos of the Ghostbusters display from Mattel. 3 basic things were on display.
The retro-action style figures based on The Real Ghostbusters cartoon.
The 12 inch Movie Masters figures.
The 6 inch Movie Masters figures.

Here’s where its a litte more interesting. The 6 inch figures are actually a 4 pack based on their Ghostbusters 2 uniforms and are scheduled to be released as a Toys R Us exclusive.

Not much more to it than that. There was a decided lack of ghosts as was abundantly evidenced by their diorama display of the 4 characters facing a light wall aiming their proton guns at nothing in particular. We will probably know more after the Mattel panel. Once I get more news, I will update it in this post. For now, check out some of the mirrored images from the ToyArk after the jump.

At the end of the day, they’ve added lots more variants of the main four Ghostbusters and virually no ghosts. Thats a little disappointing.

I mirrored the updated images from Michael Crawford‘s site. He has an excellent gallery with lots more pictures here. Please check it out.
