To mirror someone else's response yes - It is the same...Fun part about it is, is that the antennae on the Kenner P.K.E. was a hold-over from the prototype, which in-turn was modeled after the ORGB Pilot and it's version of the device...

So by proxy, what we have here is the closest thing to the world's first mass-produced ORGB Pilot P.K.E. in small form...

Now that I think of it, the pack on these figures looks almost like the Kenner full-sized [for a kid] pack...

Just picked up my retro Venkman at my local comic book shop.

The Mego look really works (for me at least). It's not the same as the all plastic figs but it's pretty nostalgic. Pity the TRUs over here won't be carrying the other guys.

WOW! Did not know that! I just reviewed that pilot episode and i do see that early concept style pke, Ecto-1 roof seat and ghosts which showed up in the RGB Kenner line. I remember getting the Pke with the pack when I was little and thinking that the antennae was so random looking compared to the tv show's version. Never noticed its design was from that awesome pilot. Very cool bit of RGB trivia! Haha!

just got my retro figure from mattel - unfortunately it's not the green ghost variant that I was hoping for.

and the sound bytes are terrible! it sounds like dana carvey as "garth" doing an impression of peter venkman. I dont know whether to put it on my shelf, open and put it on my shelf, keep it out of site until I give it to my nephew for christmas, or put it on ebay.
