Last year Hasbro rereleased the original Kenner Real Ghostbusters action figures and not only did I preorder a set but I also went out and purchased a set because you can never have too many. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with the extras but last night I decided to open them and compare them to the originals I got when I was a kid.
Other than the obvious dirt and grime build-up they are almost identical to the originals. The only real difference I can see is the plug that connects the Proton Pack to their backs, it is now just a round peg that fits in snugly and I think it’s an improvement.
The opening of the figures was a fun experience with some warm and fuzzy flashbacks to when I was a kid and the carded figures look great on my wall.
Here is the final pictures I did for Inktober (October 29,30, & 31). This is the first year I did a drawing everyday and I can’t believe it went bye so fast.
Inktober Day 29! Sorceress, heroic guardian of Castle Grayskull.
Inktober Day 30! Samhain, the ghost of #Halloween ?, from the #RealGhostbuster.
Inktober Day 31! Love drawing haunted houses, this is a twist on the one I did last year.
Here are Inktober drawings, days 15-28. Can’t believe it’s almost over.
Inktober Day 15! Shadow Weaver from the 80’s She-Ra series. I really like the new design from the netflix series, can’t wait to watch it. Inktober Day 16! Horde Trooper, Hordaks evil robot army. Just as cool looking as a Foot Soldier and just as incompetent. Inktober Day 17! Mantenna, evil spy with the pop-out eyes ? This guy was super fun to draw. Inktober Day 18! Grizzlor, hairy henchman Of The Evil Horde. Inktober Day 19! Scarecrow from Batman The Animated Series, done in Funko Pop style. Inktober Day 20! Funko Pop style Doctor Who. Inktober Day 21! Man-E-Faces, heroic human… robot… monster. Inktober Day 22! Used Ghostbusters World for the first time today and felt like drawing Slimer. Fun game so far! Inktober Day 23! Reimagined Wingnut & Screwloose from TMNT. Inktober Day 24! Mutagen Man from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Love drawing creepy weird TMNT characters. Inktober Day 25! Spider-Man vs Venom! I don’t think I have drawn either of these two in years, forgot how fun it is. Inktober Day 26! Egon Spengler from Ghostbusters. Inktober Day 27! Rorschach, Nite Owl, and Silk Spector from the Watchmen. Still one of my top 3 favorite comic book movies. Inktober Day 28! Man-At-Arms meets He-Man. Always loved this scene in the mini-comic, but to me, it looked like Man-At-Arms was wearing goggles so that is the way I drew it.
Always liked the box art on the Real Ghostbusters toys and that was what I was originally going for, but then I had already drawn the Proton Pack on Winston’s back so then I went for something a little different. I also included Chomper Ghost from the original toy.
This is the rebuild of my original Real Ghostbusters style Proton Pack from 2016. I added metal to the Neutrino Wand some extra pieces to cover the base board on the pack. Also added remote control lights to the cyclotron and completely rebuilt the Ghost Trap. Aside from the 4 lights on the cyclotron the other glowing pieces are reflective tape and it looks great when someone uses a flash. Still a work in progress and I hope to add sound soon. Below is a video of the lights in action and the original pictures along with the movie style Proton Pack that I will rebuild soon.
So they shouldn’t look like they are all mad at each other, I was just drawing their heads randomly. Been watching a lot of Real Ghostbusters on Netflix.
Saw some previews of the upcoming Ghostbusters comic books including the Ghostbusters from the 2016 movie and was inspired to draw another poster. Let me know what you think;)
Second Proton Pack that I finished right before Halloween 2016. This is based on the original 1984 movie style Proton Pack. I also plan on making one from the 2016 Ghostbusters movie.
