I Ain't Afraid Of No Ghost! :: Real Ghostbusters Peter Venkman

Halloween is over, but the spooky fun never stops around here!

I found a scaredy Peter Venkman from the Real Ghostbusters action figure line at the thrift store today, and my intern helped me with a Halloween Hangover frightening photo shoot!

Squeeze his arm and Peter's eyes bug out, his jaw drops and his hair pops up! AAAHHHHH!

Not surprisingly, Peter is a bit spooked by all those spooks above. 

Perhaps more surprisingly...

Peter was also spooked by a trio of Barbie's super pets...

...and Mr. Snuffleupagus too!

Peter Venkman, you're a bit high-strung. You need a vacation.

Let's Be Frank! Real Ghostbusters Frankenstein's Monster :: Countdown to Halloween 2014

This jolly green fellow here is the 'Real Ghostbusters' version of Frankenstein's Monster.

I was never into The Real Ghostbusters action figure line as a kid, and am not really into it now. There were too few movie relevant characters (like Stay Puft) and far too many oddball ceations, like this no-quite-Universal-Monsters Frankenstein. That said, they do have their charms, but they don't really show up all that often on the secondary market (aka the flea market and garage sales I frequent.)

But I found Franklin here at the flea market a few weeks ago and had to have him for my Countdown to Halloween!

The Real Ghostbusters figures all seemed to have overly goofy action features. When you squeeze Frank's legs together his jaw opens and his arms raise up. Horrifying!

He kind of looks like Richard Moll, who played Bull Shannon on Night Court.
