Two Iconic Movies, Two Anniversary Events, Two Ways to Commemorate
2024 is an important year for the Ghostbusters franchise, seeing the release of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and celebrating not one but two milestone anniversaries: the 40th Anniversary of Ghostbusters and the 35th Anniversary of Ghostbusters II! We’d already saved the collecting world with the first-ever Ghostbusters HasLab, the Plasma Series Spengler’s Proton Pack (no longer available), and came back strong with an ambitious sequel known as the second-ever Ghostbusters HasLab, the Two in the Box Ghost Trap & P.K.E. Meter (no longer available).
But we were at a cross-rip—er, a crossroads—regarding the third-ever Ghostbusters HasLab. How would we trap the perfect paranormal follow-up? Unfortunately, nobody could agree on any one idea. There was a lot of bickering, even more name calling, and believe it or not, no less than three atomic-weight-of-cobalt wedgies. At the end of the day, we just couldn’t believe that things had gotten so bad in the HasLab Lab that there was no way back. Because there were a few sparks of sweet humanity left in that burned-out workshop. We just had to figure out a way to mobilize it!
We needed something no one had ever done before, something that would blow the doors off the competition, and something that would really get the fandom’s collective engine revving. We’re beyond proud to announce the first-ever 6-inch-scale Ectomobile ever. EVER! And with both a base and deluxe model available, you get to choose your ride!
Everybody Can Relax…
That’s right, we found the car, and boy is she a beaut! The Ectomobile is so much more than just an automobile—it’s an icon; ridiculously designed, ridiculously cool, and instantly recognizable. The Ecto not only drove onto the silver screen, but she also drove straight into our hearts. We only hope our Plasma Series Ectomobile will do the same! Measuring in at 22.5 inches long, the Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile (Anniversary Edition) is just shy of 2 feet long and comes with all the movie-accurate bells, whistles, and gadgets, die-hard fans expect.
The HasLab Lab worked directly with our partners at GHOST CORPS to create the most authentic and movie-accurate 6-inch-scale Ectomobile possible. Our design team was even able to visit and photograph an actual Ecto, and boy howdy, did they get all up in that car’s business, as indicated by the eerily insane amount of detail included in this 6-inch-scale replica.

FIRST-EVER PLASMA SERIES GHOST: THE LIBRARY GHOST
The Library Ghost (aka the Gray Lady, Librarian Ghost, and Eleanor Twitty)

The Library Ghost is the first-ever spirit the Ghostbusters encounter, and now she’s immortalized in 6-inch scale as one of the first-ever Plasma Series ghost action figures! Featuring 7 points of articulation and ethereal, movie-inspired deco and design, the librarian is ready to haunt your shelves! Includes library book accessory, stack of library books accessory, and stand.
How did we not do this sooner?
SECOND-EVER PLASMA SERIES GHOST: THE GREEN GHOST
The Green Ghost (aka Slimer)
Class V. Full Roaming Vapor. Formerly anchored to the Sedgewick Hotel.
The Green Ghost—or Slimer, as he’s more commonly known—is arguably the most famous ghost in the Ghostbusters universe, and the first successfully busted specter! From pigging out on leftover room service to charging and sliming Venkman, this ugly little spud was an immediate fan favorite. Now, he’s finally making his gluttonous debut in the Plasma Series, featuring 4 points of articulation and classic Ghostbusters design and detail. Includes stand.
THE GHOSTBUSTERS ARE BACK (IN THE PLASMA SERIES)!
Yes, that’s right, Ghostbusters! They’re back with twice the know-how and twice the particle power to deal with all your supernatural elimination needs. So come, celebrate the grand re-opening with 4 Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ghostbusters II action figures (Deluxe Model only)!
Back the Ectomobile (Deluxe Model) and you’ll receive all 4 Ghostbusters, featuring all-new head sculpts and wearing the highly sought-after charcoal jumpsuits! You’ll also receive 4 Proton Pack accessories and 4 Plasma Stream accessories, as well as 2 Ecto-Charger Pack accessories and 2 Ecto-plasm Stream accessories, so you can re-create favorite moments from Ghostbusters II.
Additional Deluxe Model accessories include a toaster, Ghostbusters hot beverage thermal mug, and Ghostbusters balloon.
“TWO WEEKS TO TULLY” EARLY BIRD SPECIAL
We couldn’t celebrate the hilarious follow-up to Ghostbusters, the aptly titled Ghostbusters II, without including the unofficial fifth Ghostbuster! As a special bonus, if the Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile (Anniversary Edition) traps the minimum backer amount within the first 14 days of the campaign, all backers will receive a 6-inch Louis Tully (Ghostbuster) action figure! Yes, that means if the early bird special is unlocked in the first 2 weeks, EVERYONE that backs the project throughout the duration of the campaign will receive this awesome Ghostbusters action figure! That’s scary awesome. Includes Proton Pack (x1), Plasma Stream (x1), Ghost Trap (x1) and P.K.E. Meter (x1) accessories.
A SUPERNATURAL CELEBRATION
We here in the Ghostbusters HasLab Lab love this franchise just as much as you do. We’re not just labbies, after all, we’re fans. We grew up with these characters, we wanted to join the team, and their stories are irrevocably woven into the very fabric of our existence. And 40 and 35 years later, both Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II remain very much woven into the fabric of pop culture. To say we’re honored to be a part of the amazing and inclusive legacy of Ghostbusters… well, that would be putting it mildly.
Here's to 40 years of frights, delights, and saving the world, as well as 35 years of psychomagnotheric ecto-plasm, haunted paintings, and… well, saving the world! Back this project today and race to the next bust in style!
Ghostbusters HasLab. Yes, we’re back. Again.
