Ghostbusters Minimates
There have been Ghostbusters Minimates before, but the "I Love This Town" edition, featuring appropriately-expressive versions of the characters (look at Egon's grimace!) was a special release tied to the movie's anniversary.

If you're not already sold by the words "Ghostbusters Lego," I don't know how to help you. Revealed at this year's ToyFair, the set will include the entire team, Ecto-1 and the Firehouse HQ. Admit it: You want it already, don't you?

Slimer Talking Plush Doll
Yes, it's a cuddly toy that looks like Slimer, and yes, he talks. Well, he actually screams or makes a chomping noise when you try to cuddle him, so that'll only cause SOME nightmares, right...?

Funko POP! Winston Zeddmore
Winston is just one of many big-headed Ghostbusters characters available in the familiar Funko POP! style, but just look at him in his tiny little car! He's the cutest by far. Also available: the rest of the team, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Slimer.

Ghostbusters Haunted Highway Electronic Slot Car Racing Playset
What exactly is so spooky about racing cars around a track (even if one of them is the Ecto-1) isn't exactly clear, but at least you get to speed under the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in this playset.

Slimer Headpiece Mask
Because nothing says "horrific" like a mask that makes it look like you're being eaten by a floating green ball of protoplasm. And he seemed so cute in the cartoon!

Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Bobble Head
The best thing about this bobble head doll is that the heads are interchangeable. If you don't want the smiling Mr. Stay Puft, there's an evil head you can snap on, instead.

Today marks a very special anniversary: three decades exactly since the premiere of Ghostbusters, the movie that let Bill Murray flirt with Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis pretend to be a dog, and introduced Slimer to the world.
To celebrate the anniversary, Ghostbusters is getting re-released for one day only in a couple of months. However, that screening alone might not be enough to recreate the joy you had when first seeing the movie as a kid, but don’t worry—that’s what all the new toys released to coincide with the anniversary are for.
With new releases from Lego, Minimates, and Funko POP! (amongst many others), your inner child will once again remember what it was like to be afraid of no ghosts, even as your outer adult cringes at the thought of a potential Ghostbusters III without Harold Ramis. We’ve picked out some of the best toys that are part of the anniversary celebrations for you to add to your shopping list, alongside new proton packs and ghost boxes. Just remember not to cross the streams.
