Hi all,
My name is Alex, and I am an action figure junkie.
[everyone says: "Hi, Alex!"]
I'm still in the process of locating all of my old Kenner Real Ghostbusters toys among my parents' labyrinthine attic.. you know the warehouse at the end of Raiders? Imagine that but with the ceiling sloping in on you from both sides, oppressive heat, and itchy insulation everywhere. By the time you've shifted a few piles of boxes around, you're nearly dehydrated.
As far as I know, it should all still be up there somewhere, and to the best of my knowledge it was a complete collection, but for the most part I'm an opener so it's all loose except for the carded Ecto-Glow figures.
A while back, I rescued two or three large boxes and brought them home to take inventory. Everything seems to be in amazingly good condition despite the lengthy exposure to temperature extremes. I didn't locate the vehicles yet, though. No Ecto-1, Ecto-1A, or Ecto-2. Cross your fingers.
I also found my old Ghostbusters telephone, the one where the red slash of the circle-and-slash no-ghost logo was removable as the handset? But it had scrubbed up against some piece of my costume equipment that I'd spray-painted black, and the paint doesn't seem to want to wash off the phone. Awww. I loved that phone. Insult to injury, the VERY next storage box that I opened contained the original box for the telephone, sitting there empty. Doh!
I don't have photos of all the Kenner stuff (yet) but here are some pics already online of my Mattel/NECA toys and a few others.
Enjoy!

"Maybe now you'll never slime a guy with a positron collider, huh?"
"The light's green, the trap is clean."
"Well, now it is my turn, _______."
"Are you a god?"
"See ya on the other side, Ray."
"Mother pus pucket!"

cartoon homage

"It's SHOWTIME!"

"Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it?"
"She's French. You know that."
