Dr. Ray Stantz...Is That Your Boy?




We're big Ghostbusters fans here at Is That Your Boy and 2009 has been a great year for fans of this classic movie. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the original movie, we got a new Blu-Ray, a new game featuring voice work from the original cast, serious news of a third movie in development and a not one but two series of action figures from Mattel.

Please tell me that is not a pee tube.


The 6" line debuted with Egon this summer but there is also an incredible 12" series that commenced earlier this week with the new Ray Stantz figure now available at mattycollector.com. Dr. Stantz supports a newly-created 12" super-articulated action figure body, which sports extra chest and shoulder articulation not normally seen on figures in this scale.

While the head sculpt is just okay, where this figure really shines is in the hyper-detailed clothing and accessories. I mean, look at that damn proton pack! It even lights up! He also comes with his goggles, a walkie-talkie, and an opening ghost trap. The only thing not included is a glow-in-the-dark Barbie so that he can get his supernatural blowie.

That kind of looks better than the ones they used in the movies.

He's on sale now at mattycollector.com for $60 plus shipping, which is not unreasonable considering other figures of this scale go from $80-$100. And, no, he's not a god.
