San Diego Comic Con has traditionally had convention exclusive figures. In the past, Matty Collector released a series of "marshmallow" variants of their figure series.
A four-piece set of "slimed" versions of Diamond Select Toys's figures of the movie Ghostbusters had been previously announced, but what is more likely to whet fans' appetites is a freshly-revealed set of Real Ghostbusters figures, featuring the famous spectral "ghost clones" from 1986's Citizen Ghost.
The set will also feature an angry version of the Stay Puft Marshmallow man, as well as a transparent blue Terror Dog, inspired by the creature's appearance in Egon's Ghost and The Copycat.
Although listed as a convention exclusive, the packaging also bears the logo for GameStop, suggesting a commercial release at a later date.
The "Spectral Ghostbusters" pack is currently slated to retail for $120 at Comic Con. Stay tuned for further details as they develop. Visit the topic to view additional images of the set.

We previously touched on Chronicle Collectibles' upcoming Real Ghostbusters statues in our roundup of Ghostbusters Fan Fest.
•Each Ghostbuster is 10" tall, stood atop a 4" diameter base.
•Each statue is produced from polyresin.
•Each Ghostbuster statue is estimated to weigh around 6 pounds.
Each Ghostbuster can be purchased individually for £149.99, however fans wishing to possess Slimer will need to purchase all four statues in one transaction.
Preorders for the statues are now live, however details about their expected release date are currently unavailable. Check back for more details as they become available.

We're still recovering from this weekend's Ghostbusters Fan Fest, and while there's still a bit to sort though, here's a roundup of what's come to light during the two-day event:
•Jason Reitman has confirmed Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray have read the script for the next Ghostbusters film, and are currently serving in a supervisory role.
•Following a tease on twitter, Jason Reitman revealed his special surprise to be a collection of unseen dailies and outtakes from the filming of Ghostbusters, which he'd edited to coincide with a special "father and son" panel with himself and Ivan Reitman.
•The Ghostbusters documentary Cleanin' Up The Town had a worldwide preview screening following its screening at Cannes.
•A new set of statues based on The Real Ghostbusters are due to be released in the near future (more on this to appear shortly) from Chronicle Collectibles.

Sunday saw the broadcast of the two-hour special Ghostbusters: Behind Closed Doors on the Reelz channel, and in addition to new and historic interview content and behind the scenes photographs, an unseen deleted scene from Ghostbusters II appeared as part of the B-roll content (sequences often filmed with a secondary camera behind the primary one).
Paul Rudoff has uploaded a copy of the deleted scene to Spook Central for you to watch and enjoy.
While it is unfortunate that some of the scene's audio was obscurred through Reelz' editing process, it still offers a unique piece of content from Ghostbusters II in the film's 30th anniversary year.
