How Ghostbusters III could of happened.
The casting for the 1st and 2nd Ghostbusters movie were great choices and the choices for The Real/Extreme Ghostbusters cartoon was also great. Ghostbusters III was in development since the 1990s where it had countless rewrites and renamed from Ghostbusters III to Ghostbusters III: Hellbent but in 2009 we did get a video-game which was good play unless you had the WII version where it didn't look realistic and more cartoonish but the game was a success and it's a good thing it was invented because if it wasn't we would have seen Ivo Shandor unless it was in the comics. The movie probably was going to be made in 2015 but when Harold Ramis died it was the last straw in the long and overbearing history of Ghostbusters III.
Now I know what your…

The "unboxing" process may take a couple minutes, especially if you're the type that wants to preserve the cardboard backing as well as possible without creating any tears. Notably, the first Ectotron was boxed. Most likely, it is carded because of the excl…

Review of Hasbro's Playskool Heroes: Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
Hasbro has kicked off 2021 with a few more new toys for Ghostbusters fans of all ages. Through their Playskool Heroes imprint, Hasbro released a new Stay Puft Marshmallow Man toy this past January and should be on shelves at the time of this review.
The official description on Walmart's website is:
While this Stay Puft Marshmallow Man toy is strictly for young children three years and older, there are a lot of nice details worth going over. Stay Puft's design is the classic look with the cap branded Stay Puft, the blue collar and red ribbon. One nitpick is the top of the cap has a red dot instead of blue but very minor. Another minor detail is this Stay Puft is rather "Stay Slim" compared to his classic billowy look. The blue collar has a ni…
