    The original Ghostbusters line had transforming toys of a sort. I'd imagine we'll see more of those, plus the TF crossovers. Got to be awkward for Hasbro, though. Sony's on one end saying "make toys for us!" and Disney's on the other saying "we were here, first..." Big business for Hasbro, but man...

    I'd like to see the Generations Cosmos/Scrounge mold retooled into an Extreme Ghosbusters trap.

    Heres hoping for Marvel Legends styled 6inch figures of the new and OG cast. Paul Rudd is in this, so I need my Ghost Slices.

    Putting aside the current negotiations over Spider-Man (in which no matter what happens Hasbro will make the toys), the only time there was any issue with anything like that was years ago when Hasbro was thinking about merging together with Dreamworks. It fell apart right away anyway, but there were many reasons why Hasbro would no longer be able to make toys for say Disney if they were to literally become the same company as their competition.

    ...why wasn't a full-body horri-bull made as a minor retool of the TR Krok mold?

    Interesting news.
    What's with the news-speak in articles lately though. I never understood why news articles can't just say for example : "Hasbro will sell official Ghostbusters toys."

    Horri-Buul!

    More realistically, I could see a two-pack in alternating color schemes, with one named Keymaster and the other named Gatekeeper.

    Cool, maybe Hasbro can give me a good Holtzmann figure.

    I keep having flashbacks of when Tarantulas and Blackarachnia accidentally created Inferno. Gozer better not go too crazy with the DNA scanner. :p
