Ghostbusters fans are finally getting the action figures we’ve been longing for!

In 2004, NECA released an excellent series of Ghostbusters action figures. While it was great to have Slimer, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, Gozer, and two Terror Dogs, there were no actual Ghostbusters to be found. Now, 5 years later, Mattel is coming through for the 25th anniversary of the original Ghostbusters film with what appear to be the ultimate figures. Prototypes were available for viewing at the New York Comic Con and they look fantastic.

From mattycollector.com:

Mattel’s “Ghostbusters” collectible line, debuts with 12-inch figures in June 2009, and will be available exclusively at MattyCollector.com. Each figure will feature window box packaging and include authentic Ghostbuster equipment unique to each character. For the first time, Mattel’s line will include talent likeness of Egon Spengler, Ray Stantz, Peter Venkman and Winston Zeddemore.

“Ghostbusters” collectors can also look forward to 6-inch figures, with one debuting at San Diego Comic Con in July 2009. Sculpted by Four Horsemen Studios, the team currently working on Mattel’s popular DC Universe™ Classics and Masters of the Universe® Classics collectible lines, the 6-inch line will come complete with authentic “Ghostbusters” equipment and ghost.

Mattel will also create characters and ghosts from the classic animated series, “The Real Ghostbusters,” to go along with the classic “Ghostbusters” film.
