From May 2017 to October 2020, German toy maker Playmobil released a series of figures and playsets based on Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, and The Real Ghostbusters. The sets are no longer being manufactured, because Playmobil no longer has the Ghostbusters license, so much of the materials related to the toyline are no longer online. Thankfully, a lot of it has been saved by fans, such as myself and Matt Jordan.

For several years, I reviewed the "Build The Ghostbusters Ecto-1" model subscription from DeAgostini, through their Fanhome imprint; also available in the United Kingdom and Germany. (The model was previously released by Eaglemoss' Hero Collector imprint.) Documentation of the model build will come soon, but in the meantime, let's look at the magazines that come with the parts...

Recently, Ghostbusters News alerted fans to a problem with unopened Ecto Cooler cans from 2016. It was said that if you opened one of those cans now, fermentation of the limited amount of fruit juice in the product would cause the can to explode like a shaken carbonated beverage. Well, I decided to see what state my unopened can and juice box, in the original 2016 promo box, was in. It was even worse than an "exploding" can.

The Criterion Collection recently released The Wiz (1978) on 4K UHD, which I reviewed on The Corner Penthouse. That gave me the opportunity to watch the film for the first time in 30 years! The last time I saw it was when I wrote a report about it (with a companion video I edited together) in my freshman year in college. I still have that report (not the video), which I included at the end of my aforementioned review.

Anyway, with The Wiz transporting the L. Frank Baum story from Kansas to New York City, there was bound to be a connection or two to a beloved ghostbusting franchise that takes place in the same city...even though Ghostbusters wouldn't come out for another six years.

Nine years ago, a documentary about Ghostbusters fans entitled Ghostheads - a name coined by fan Norm Gagnon back in the 1990s - was released. Coming out on July 15, 2016 - the same day as Feig's Folly - the film proclaimed to take a look at "the real heart of the Ghostbusters".

Recently, I purchased a copy of that disc on sale, and after finding absolutely ZERO reviews of it on any of the usual home video sites, I finally felt there was a need to write about the movie.
