GBFans Q&A with Mattel – Round 4

Posted by GhostbustersNews on March 16th, 2010

GBFans just posted their fourth round of questions with Mattel! In this part they asked about the SDCC Exclusive Figure, possible accessories for the 12″ figures, the Ecto-1 Hot Wheels, and could we ever see a Barbie Janine?

We heard rumors that the SDCC Exclusive Figure will really knock our socks off. Can you drop any more hints? Will we be tripping over vertically stacked books to get it? Will it break us out of our electric chairs? I await the word of Mattel!

We actually can’t reveal any news quite yet. In April we’ll be ready to let the cat out of the bag!

We’re all looking forward to completing our 12″ Collections of the Ghostbusters. What unique accessories might we see with Peter and Winston?

Peter actually will not have any unique accessories. Winston will come with some essential paperwork and a cream-filled snack cake.

Since the new Hot wheels came out, we’ve seen limited availability of the Ghostbusters Ecto-1. Is there any chance we will see an increase in the number of them per case? Or are they just too expensive to manufacture? What about them showing up in Hot Wheels 10 and 20-Packs?

The Hot Wheels Ecto-1 will continue to ship throughout the year. Keep your eyes peeled!

Additionally, since the Ghostbusters license has spilled over into the Hot Wheels line, and Barbie is pushing her “career” thing this year, is there a possibility of a Ghostbuster “Janine” Barbie, or a Janine in Ghostbuster gear Barbie, reusing the molds for the gear you already have for the Matty 12″ Ghostbuster line in mass market stores, similar to the recent girl’s of the 80’s releases?

No plans for a Barbie as Janine at this point but don’t count this idea out as the line progresses!

Be sure to head on over to the GBFans forum and talk about this with other ghostheads!
