Bootleg Ghostbusters Toys? Jocsa kept RGB Alive in Argentina

Posted on | by Jay Glatfelter | Leave a Comment on Bootleg Ghostbusters Toys? Jocsa kept RGB Alive in Argentina

Join Jay as explores an often overlooked part of Ghostbusters Toy History. Argentinian toy maker Jocsa kept the Real Ghostbusters toyline alive after Kenner stopped producing RGB figures in 1991. In 1992 Jocsa brought back a lot of favorites from the Kenner releases, and did some new things, like these variants of the “Slimed Heroes”. These were fully licensed figures from Kenner, Columbia Pictures and are often mistaken for bootlegs. I’ve wanted these figures for over 20 years, are they worth the wait?

Hasbro X Mego Ghostbusters Crossover!

Posted on | by Jay Glatfelter | Leave a Comment on Hasbro X Mego Ghostbusters Crossover!

Join Jay as he reviews the Hasbro X Mego Crossover that gives us fairly accurate (for a Mego figure) Ghostbusters figures! This partnership isn’t necessarily something that Toy Collecting Ghostbusters fans really wanted (That would be a NECA or Super7 Real Ghostbusters line) but its still nice to get new Ghostbusters toys as Hasbro goes dormant with the license while there is no new media to support it.

Is he worth the extra expense? Watch and find out!
