You are looking at one of my most prized sets. Now, anyone who knows anything about Real Ghostbusters toys (there's probably at least 4 or 5 of us out there) knows that this is the last complete set of RGB of action figures ever released. This set is from 1991, the final year of the show. However, if you know anything about RGB toys (see above), and I told you I bought them all mint on card, you'd probably rip out your hair when noticing that... I've opened them. (Okay, not entirely true: I did leave the Louis Tully figure MOC.) Today, these figures sell anywhere from $50 MOC to $150 apiece, and even for close to $250 for the complete set... loose! Luckily, I didn't have to spend this much when I bought them a few years ago.Fact is, I'm not much of a MOC guy. This does not apply universally (as I'm sure I'll post later, both of the 2008 Dark Knight Movie Masters chase figures I have are in-box), but when you love RGB to the weird extent that I do, it's necessary to open them and have them out for display.
You'll also notice the Mini Gooper ghosts (1988), which did not come MIB but DID come with the box. The yellow ghost in the middle is an accessory to the Ecto-500 vehicle, which I will post about later.
Anyway, as I mentioned before, I love things that glow in the dark (I think this stems from my early youth, when the RGB toylines used the glow in the dark feature fairly often for the most random stuff). But combining The Real Ghostbusters AND the glow-in-the-dark feature so well makes for one of my favorite toy sets of all time.
Beautiful, isn't it?
