Today we start with a VTOTD week that is near and dear to me.
"The REAL Ghostbusters" toys!
After the blockbuster film traped the hearts of kids around the world it was only natural that a cartoon show would follow. With every good cartoon comes a toy line. Some are good some are bad. Some say RGB (Real Ghostbusters) jumped the shark after the 2nd wave of toys came out. I will let you judge as I show toys from every stage of RGB toy history.




<font color="red">Jumbo Egon</font>

The Real GHOSTBUSTERS Egon original jumbo action figure by Miniland, copyright 1986/87. Articulated, about 12" tall (aprx. 30 cm) with proton pack weapon. Talk about Rare!

Cool!

Yeah, I was going to say I'd never heard of Miniland..............

I like the GBs with the Gorilla & the F-Troop guys-
Wish they made toys of them (& that car!)~
