It looks like by the time SDCC kicks off this weekend, a lot of stuff will already be revealed…

So let’s start it off with our favourite franchise, Ghostbusters.

Having lost the license last year, Matty collector stopped making their Ghostbusters figures (although there is an Egon available at the event) but it looks like they may have the licence for the Ghostbusters reboot as they appear to be teasing the new proton pack as a prop replica. Also, check out Neca’s classic movie figures further down.

Bustin’ makes me feel good.

The Guys at Ghostbusters Mania have these images on their FB page of what appears to be Matty Collector’s prop replica of the new Proton Packs from the Ghsotbusters reboot (more at the bottom of the page):

UPDATE: WE’re being informed that the Protonpack “a production pack from the new movie, not a prop replica”. Thanks to Dan for the headsup

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
