The Real Ghostbusters (1986-1991)
Kenner turned The Real Ghostbusters cartoon into action figures in 1986, and each of the four Ghostbusters came with a ghost of his own to bust. Over the next five years these 80s Ghostbusters toys added squeeze-and-scare Fright Features figures, Screaming Heroes, a run of classic movie monsters, working proton packs and ghost traps, and cars from ECTO-1 to the ECTO-1A.
