Pre Halloween 3D Print, Samhain from the Real Ghostbusters cartoon

I made this resin 3D print of Samhain a while back and finally got it painted and detailed. Samhain was always one of my favorite villains from the Real Ghostbusters animated series, but I was always bummed that they never made an action figure. After decade I finally decided to make one myself.

Kenner/Hasbro Real Ghostbusters

The Real Ghostbusters

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.

  • Peter Venkman
  • Winston Zeddemore
  • Egon Spengler
  • Ray Stanz
The figures on the right are the 2020 rerelease, the ones to the left are from the original 80s toy line. Some of the figures I have painted the collars, straps, and belts.

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.
