Collider.com has unveiled an exclusive first look at The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History, a new full-color art book chronicling the history of the iconic animated series. Published by Dark Horse Books, this comprehensive guide was written by Troy Benjamin (Ghostbusters HQ, Ghostbusters: Ectomobile: Owner's Workshop Manual) and Craig Goldberg (Yes Have Some Podcast).
The Real Ghostbusters made its debut in 1986 as a Saturday morning cartoon, continuing the story of the beloved Ghostbusters franchise. The show became a global phenomenon, celebrated for its imaginative storytelling, unique animation style, and a voice cast that became as iconic as the original live-action actors. Alongside the series, Kenner’s toyline brought the Ghostbusters to life in homes everywhere with some of the most memorable, eccentric, and best-selling toys in pop culture history.
Fans can now revisit this classic series with The Real Ghostbusters: A Visual History, which provides a behind-the-scenes look at the show’s creation. The book combines rare and never-before-seen visuals, including conceptual artwork, storyboards, script excerpts, internal memos, packaging art, unseen prototypes, and abandoned concepts, along with new and exclusive interviews.
The book will be released in Summer 2025 in two editions. The hardcover edition offers a stunning overview of the series, while the deluxe edition elevates the experience with premium features such as a firehouse-inspired slipcase, two acetate "animation cel" replicas, and a firehouse flagpole ribbon bookmark. The deluxe edition is scheduled for release on June 17, 2025, with the standard edition following on July 1. Pricing is set at $99.99 for the deluxe edition and $49.99 for the standard edition.
For fans eager to secure their copy, pre-orders are now available:

Since 2010, toy company Funko has been producing stylised vinyl bobblehead-style figures on numerous pop-culture franchises. There's a good chance that if you don't own some yourself, you know someone who does own a few Funko Pop! figures.
Funko has produced a number of lines based on the Ghostbusters franchise, covering the original 1984 film, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and most recently, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Now they're turning their attention to the popular animated spinoff: The Real Ghostbusters.
The figures are priced at $12.99 each, and are scheduled to hit shelves on January 19, 2025 in the United States, and March 3rd in the United Kingdom.
For those looking to purchase the pops, preorders have gone live at Amazon U.S. and Amazon U.K., with other online retailers expected to follow suit in the very near future.

It's been a rollercoaster 43 days since Hasbro first revealed their HasLab Plasma Series Ecto-1/Ecto-1A replica, which at one point was facing the possibility of failing to achieve enough support to go into production.
But as fate would have it, the campaign received a boost of pledges this past week, and earlier tonight it crossed the 12,000 backer threshold needed to fund the production of the Ectomobile and figures.
As of this writing, the backer tally presently stands at 12,178.
For fans who are still considering whether to back the project, you still have some time to decide, as the campaign doesn't officially end until 5:59 AM CET/4:59 AM GMT on the 3rd of December.

It's been four months since Hasbro first teased an Ecto-1-related project for autumn 2024, and now, as part of New York Comic Con, the company has fully revealed the Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile (Anniversary Edition). This 22.5-inch-long replica is scaled to fit the 6-inch Plasma Series figures that Hasbro has released in previous years, celebrating both the 40th anniversary of the original Ghostbusters film and the 35th anniversary of Ghostbusters II. The model pays tribute to one of cinema’s most iconic vehicles, bringing it to life with incredible detail that die-hard fans and collectors are sure to appreciate.
The project is available in two versions. The base model, priced at $324.99/£324.99, includes the classic Ecto-1, along with action figures of Slimer and Eleanor Twitty, the Library Ghost. For fans looking to take it to the next level, the deluxe model at $399.99/£399.99 features a Ghostbusters II expansion kit. This kit transforms the Ecto-1 into the Ecto-1A, complete with new roof elements, decals, and accessories like Proton Packs, Slime Blower equipment, and the four Ghostbusters in their charcoal-grey uniforms. Additional items, such as a slimed toaster and a hot beverage thermal mug, add even more charm and detail to the set.
The campaign runs from October 18 to December 2, 2024, and needs 12,000 backers to go into production. If the project reaches this goal within the first two weeks, backers will unlock the Early Bird Accountant’s Special: a Ghostbuster Louis Tully action figure complete with accessories like his Proton Pack, Plasma Stream, Ghost Trap, and P.K.E. Meter. This limited-time offer encourages early participation, adding value to the project for dedicated Ghostbusters fans who jump in quickly.
Designed with input from GHOST CORPS to ensure exceptional movie accuracy, this is the first-ever 6-inch-scale Ectomobile Hasbro has produced. The deluxe model stands out with intricate features like functioning lights, a highly detailed engine and interior, and removable roof racks for the Ecto-1A. Even the smallest details, such as the dashboard equipment and fold-down jump seats, have been faithfully recreated to deliver an authentic Ghostbusters experience. Fans can expect every piece of this set to match the iconic look of the vehicles seen in Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II.
If the campaign reaches its goal, orders are expected to ship in autumn 2025. This HasLab project represents a significant milestone in Ghostbusters collectibles, combining nostalgia with modern craftsmanship to create a must-have item for fans.
