Ghostbusters: Afterlife action figure set pairs Phoebe with an original Ghostbuster

If you haven’t had the chance to watch Ghostbusters: Afterlife yet and are trying to avoid SPOILERS, here’s a warning: there are SPOILERS below.

If you have seen Ghostbusters: Afterlife, or just happen to be aware of what happens in the movie, you know that the family at the heart of the story are related to original Ghostbuster Egon Spengler, who was played by the late Harold Ramis. Ramis passed away in 2014, and within the film Egon has passed away as well… but that doesn’t mean he isn’t involved with the events of the film. In the end, the ghost of Egon shows up to give his granddaughter Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) some assistance. And that moment has inspired the “The Family That Busts Together” action figure set, which contains Phoebe and the ghostly Egon. Images of this set can be seen below.

The Plasma Series collectible action figure 2-pack includes proton pack, neutrona wand, plasma stream, mold and fungus jar, chess piece, and PKE meter accessories inspired by the Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie

Directed by Jason Reitman, who wrote the screenplay with Gil Kenan, Ghostbusters: Afterlife stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, and Mckenna Grace as

a family with single mom Callie and her two kids, Trevor and Phoebe, who move into a beaten-down farmhouse in Oklahoma only to discover that there’s something strange in the neighborhood. Unexplained quakes shake the town. There’s an old mine nearby that bears the name of Ivo Shandor, who built the Manhattan high-rise in the 1984 film that channeled the forces of evil.

Paul Rudd plays “a local teacher who’s been documenting the unexplained phenomena, befriending Callie and her kids, and helping make the connection between the current weirdness and the events of three decades before”. Also in the cast are Bokeem Woodbine, Tracy Letts, Oliver Cooper, and an uncredited Olivia Wilde, with Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver, and Annie Potts reprising their roles from the first two films. (Watch the first Ghostbusters HERE and Ghostbusters II HERE.)

Reitman’s father Ivan Reitman, who directed the first two films, produced Ghostbusters: Afterlife, with Aykroyd serving as executive producer alongside Jason Blumenfeld, Michael Beugg, Aaron L. Gilbert, Jason Cloth, and Kenan.

Our own Chris Bumbray gave Ghostbusters: Afterlife an 8/10 review you can read at THIS LINK.
