In this book, author and collector Matt MacNabb takes a look at the best of Ghostbusters collectables, including action figures of the four Ghostbusters themselves, some of the most famous ghosts from the films and models of Ecto-1. The book also looks at some of the most unusual collectables as well as looking at what might be collectable in the future.Covering collectables from 1984 to the present day, including many of the superb toys produced by Kenner, this is an essential read for anyone looking to own their very own iconic jumpsuit, Slimer or Ecto-1.
