First off...Happy New Year to everyone. I cant believe its 2026! Last year we got alot of Ghostbusters stuff post Frozen Empire and i'm hoping the trend continues, especially now we are approaching the 40th anniversary or The Real Ghostbusters Premiering on ABC on September 13, 1986. God i feel old now lol.
We got a wonderful mondo line of figures already out (I got both the 2 packs of Egon and Peter with pre orders secured for Winston and Ray and more figures upcoming) and I'm hoping that trend continues. We got the Funko Pop line of both Ghostbusters 2 and The Real Ghostbusters sets, which are fantastic, and we got the wonderful Visual history book of The Real Ghostbusters, so i can say we are in the swing of things for the shows 40th anniversary.
Hasbro did some amazing things last year with the line with the Kenner Classics re releases, along with the Ecto Glow figures, and the fantastic Haslab Ecto 1's.
Even Blitzway re released their line of Ghostbusters figures, which sold out within moments.
This year, i hope we get even more stuff. Call me greedy. Heres a wish list of things i hope happens in 2026.
1: We get an announcment for the next Ghostbusters film from Jason Reitman and Gil Kennan. Frozen Empire did well enough for a sequel and i think we will get one within a few years with this one being the last of the Original Team.
2: News on the Netflix Cartoon Series/Projects. I dont know if they will release this year or next, but we should get more news on them as they are currently in production from my understanding.
3: More Mondo figures. We allready know they are planning a Janine and Louis Tully Real Ghostbusters figures, Hopefully we get more ghosts, maybe a big Mr Stay Puff or even a animated version of an Ecto 1.
4: More Kenner Classic figures. Its the 40th anniversary of The Real Ghostbusters after all and id love more re released lines. Hopefully we even get a re release of the Firehouse finally!
5: A New Haslab campaign. This time either focusing on a Drone Ghost Trap, Ecto Goggles or maybe...and one can dream, a matching scale Firehouse to go along with the Plasma Series figures and Ecto 1's. One can dream can i?
6: Ghostbusters Day in NYC of course, where we will get the majority of major announcements, with more details as usual with Comic Con in both San Diego and NYC in the fall.
Hopefully half of these come true. I dont see why some cant. The Brands still alive and well and making a profit. I think we do need new projects though and cant rely on just the older stuff but the focus this year should be on The Real Ghostbusters.
what are your thoughts and wishes for 2026?
