I can understand Sony wants some new GB products to come out in time for the 30th Anniversary, but I cannot comprehend what I am looking at right now.

These may just be mock-up photos using photos of Matty Collector's figures (I hope they signed off on that) and not the final product, but what sense does it make for Egon Spengler to have a propeller sprouting out of his glorious Jew fro pompadour? Slimer I can understand since he can actually fly. But I'm so lost on the Ghostbuster thing. Are we supposed to get both of these going and make them fight in mid-air?

And it appears they do this same stuff with the Batman franchise. Check out Joker on the left there.

I'm all about new products and keeping the franchise going, and some folks may genuinely enjoy these, but what the literal flying f*** is this?

Edit: And what a wasted opportunity to bring back the Ecto-2....

It looks like the propeller might be coming out of the pack instead of his head, not that that helps much. This is probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen merchandise-wise.

It's stuff like this that's only going to instill in the public's mind that we can "blast off" with our Proton Packs.

[Hoot]

What in the actual flying f*** is this garbage???

[Demon Vice Commander]

Still, helicopter blades would be very useful. I might have to add some to my pack...

[PssdffJay]

Nothing else to say, but why?

[Harry Bardwell]

people already think we were jet packs enough, this will not help

[joeghostbuster]

surely I cant be the only one who immediately thought of this when they saw Egon...

[Donkey8012]

I wonder if the old Ecto-2 would be too heavy to convert to a remote-controlled helicopter. Woul probably have to guy it, at the very least.

Buying 2 Egons myself.

[AJ Quick]

I just want to know where they are going to stick the other propeller.

[Michael Scott]

Only so much money to go around for me this year for the 30th anniversary, already setting aside $100 for two Lego sets, might get a few other things. As this appears now, it's an easy pass for me.

[Heroic35]

On second thought, why not do a flying librarian ghost?

Is this what they did from the Slimer surplus at big lots?

(And also that previous Egon statement was a joke. The 24" SP and LEGO set are atop this list along with the shake em's)

[RaysEctogoggles]

Sure laugh and make fun now, but in 10 years it'll be the hardest piece of merch to track down and everyone will swear up and down they wanted one........

[Xstreams]

surely I cant be the only one who immediately thought of this when they saw Egon...

Exactly what came to mind.

[Smeghead]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

No, seriously, what are they really making?

[Fritz]

Holy cow! It's a new version of Power Pack Egon!

[Chace]

New tagline: "Now you can remotely fly one of your two favorite ghosts from the Ghostbusters franchise!"
