It was tearing up the internets last week, and now its back on Ghostbusters Fans. As seen on Wired, Yahoo News, Engadget, Gizmodo, Joystiq and others. irrelevanttomfoolery has given us the first look at his Nintendo Wii Proton Pack in action with footage from Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

Last year, Dapper Dan Schoening (the artist behind the Ghostbusters: The Video Game styling on the Wii), and James Eatock (from Cereal:Geek and seen on the Real Ghostbusters DVD Set) decided to work together on a pitch for a Ghostbusters Comic and send it over to IDW Publications to see if they were interested. The guys put together a 16 page document showing potential layouts and character designs as well as laying out the first 10 comics (much more than the average one shot or 4 comic series we normally get). They sent it over to IDW, and eventually they responded letting the guys know they weren't interested in their comic.
While the comic may never get picked up by IDW or a Sony approved publisher, we have the Comic Book pitch available here for you guys to check out! Wouldn't this be a great idea for a comic? Would you buy it? I know I would... hello IDW...
If you like this styling and work be sure to see Dapper Dan's Deviant Art, and James Eatock's Cereal:Geek magazine.

As we first announced last week, the Tainted Love oneshot comic from IDW did not make its anticipated February 14th street date. The Tainted Love comics have arrived and we've got it available for purchase from the Ghostbusters Fans Shop. We've got the Nick Runge varient cover and its expected to sell out quickly!
Love is in the air-literally!-as Winston befriends an attractive woman with a ghostly problem in her apartment. But trapping the love-struck apparition proves to be more complicated than the Ghostbusters originally thought. Can Winston step up and save the day? Just how far will Peter go to find a date? And do Ray and Egon ever stop to think about girls, or is it always about trans-dimensional ectoplasmic anomolies with those two?
MattyCollector.com posted an update to their Facebook page today with an update to the Ghostbusters release schedule. There are a few delays as we mentioned in a previous news article, but the release schedule will be picking up for the remainder of the year.
Orignally we had intended for a new 6" figure to ship every 2-3 months. But, inevitably due to circumstances well beyond our control we had a few hickups (this is why we don't do preorders for any of our lines!). But we are back online now and 6" Walter Peck is scheduled to hit Mattycollector.com in May. This will be followed by Slimed Peter in June and Labcoat Ray in Aug.
12" Peter will hit in April followed by Winston in Aug.
We're running a bit behind but by the end of the year we should be caught up and ready for even more Ghostbuster fun in 2011!
There will be three more 6" figure for 2010 yet to reveal plus a really great SDCC item that will knock your socks off! The Ghostbuster fun has only yet begun - only on Mattycollector.com!
