I loved the Ghostbusters Kenner figures as a kid. My parents got me the original 4 Ghostbusters (the first ones, with the proton packs & mini ghosts) Slimer and Ecto 1, slowly, one at a time per special occasion, as that was pretty much all they could afford, when the series was still new and on TV. However I continued to love them, so as the toys got reduced and put in discount stores etc (eventually even pound shops!) they continued to buy them for me and I eventually had pretty much every ghost, monster and vehicle by the late 90s. Basically every Christmas, birthday and holiday from the late 80s to mid 90s I would get at least one more ghost/monster, long after most people stopped caring about them, but I loved slowly increasing my collection. I really wish I still had them, I don't know what happened to them :( At some point in the future when I have more space I'd love to get them all again :)
Always get very nostalgic thinking about ghostbusters toys. My personal favourite was the ghost zapper which I still have somewhere. I never had the firehouse though. Although my friend did so we would generally play at his house. I loved the ghost trap. I always wanted the wolf man figure but could never find it. My personal favourite of the haunted humans was Mail Fraud.
Yeah they are great toys, I'm pretty sure I made a huge mistake and forgot to add the ghost zapper to this video as far as I remember which is very silly of me as it's one of my favourites. Thanks for watching, more Ghostbusters vids on here for you to enjoy...the zapper does kind of appear in a video too ...but which one? 😁
nice, great that you still had them. i really need to redo this video sometime as i missed one of my favourites stupidly. the zapper. thanks for watching
This was so cool to watch, I had this projector flash light thing that was pretty fun to play with. And Ecto 1 was so awesome to put the guys in and drive around. Loved seeing the old commercials too.
the projector was the ghost zapper, im really gutted. its actually one of my fave ghostbusters toys ever as i played with it all the time as a kid and used it in bed every night because it was so fun, i have it boxed but i put it at the back and when i was doing the list i completely forgot about it, it would have been in the top 5 for sure ha ha, silly me.
A great video and such awesome memories. Definitely the most memorable toy line from my youth. The Haunted humans were always my favourites. My top 10 toys in the line were- 1) Terror trash 2) Granny gross (Terror trash and Granny gross are probably two of the most iconic figures from my childhood.) 3) Ecto-1 4) Firehouse HQ 5) Fearsome flush 6) Wolfman monster 7) Mummy monster 8) Tombstone tackle 9) Dracula monster 10) Hard-hat horror (I remember being really upset because I lost his pick-axe on the same day my mum bought him for me.) Three new favourites that I never had as a child, but now own as an adult are- 1) X-cop (Even though I never had him as a boy, he was always the Haunted human I wanted the most. Glad to have him now.) 2) Wicked wheelie 3) Terror tongue (A recent pick-up, with a cool action feature and an overall rather disturbing appearance. Luv it!)
Nice seeing the Ghostbusters toys Dan and your collection very nice I see you have the creepy crawler Beetlejuice on the shelf as well I've been collecting the toys Kenner made for Beetlejuice great film
My number one would be the H2 ghost I got one from a shop for 10pounds and my dad done me a bath and I was playing With my fearsome flush ghostbusters and squirting the water from the inside at them.
Awesome!!! I had most of these!!! (I also played with the old granny toy a lot and have no idea why?!?!?). Unfortunately I don't have any of these anymore. I remember the dustbin guy I had a lot, plus some coloured gel hard plastic ghosts. It's great you have loads of these boxed/new, including the haunted toilet I had! Haha. Brilliant mate :-)
I always wondered if highway Haunter was their way of trying to get some sort of Murray The Mantis figure done. Pretty sure there never was one. My favourite Ghostbuster toys was the 3 fright features figures i had. Had Peter, ray and Winston. Never had Egon though.
wow just like my childhood, the wolfman was also my favourite bad guy, also loved the bin man & toilet, also there was another big green ghost that came with pieces of brain that use to pop out. Also the two trap monsters that was in your list, good god did that use to hurt
Still remember my best vacation ever it was 1992 the family we went to west virginia to do white water rafting n it was so terrifying especially I was only 7 n remember that night we went shopping n able to get one toy n I found a proton pack at the Kmart n then found a trap in the bargain bin then n was back at the hotel catching ghost then that night my dad really wanted to see terminator 2 that was just released in theaters n we all went n remember my mom covering my eyes when the bad terminator killed his step dad when he was drinking the milk n gets stabbed right through the carton lol, best vacation ever still have proton pack but lost trap somewhere down the line but def best toy ever
That was awesome mate. That poster of the Ecto 1 used with the counter was one I used to love looking at. The toy adverts were great to see too. I always wanted the fire house and ghost trap! Classic set of figures and I totally forgot about that sparking one until you showed it! I think my cousin had it or something but defo remember it from somewhere.
Another great review! I could listen to you talk about ghostbusters toys and show them ALL DAY! LOVEd the episode!!! VERY WELL DONE! Thanks for showing all this, brings back a lot of memories =^D
@@oddpodshow You are probably already aware but Hasbro has re-released a few of the retro ghosts and has plans to release the monster wave...you may get your werewolf after all 👍
I love this video so much as I'm currently collecting real ghostbusters need most of those in your top 12 so much to aim for no ghost zapper either in top 12 but I agree the fire house as to be number one
good review mate. some of my favorite toys from when i was a kid. Not without flaws though. The scale of the marshmallow man really confused and bugged me as a kid (and still does). i know kenner released a 12inch plushie but really what was the point of a stay puft that was barely bigger than the ghostbusters themselves and smaller than slimer? it would of also been better if they used the source material (the cartoon) more often. With the vast array of ghosts in the cartoon series, why the hell they had resort to using Hollywood monsters is beyond me. the fire house could of been slighty larger to fit ecto1 in and im pretty sure they could have given it a few more features. still great toys though with tons of memory's!
+Drew Hunter i have the stay puft plushie but yeah i agree, the plastic one could and should have been bigger. Such fun toys to have as a kid and great to collect now. Thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoyed it :)
I want to thank you so much. you gave me back misplaced childhood memories. I remember the smell of that slime that came with the firehouse, I remember the feel of the toys and some good abd bad memories. thank you so so very much.
+Rik Riggs no problem, really glad you enjoyed the video and it brought back nostalgic memories for you, thats what Odd Pod is here for. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch :)
Nice video, Dan! I wanted that Ecto 1 so bad when I was a kid. I also wanted that life size ghost trap you could throw out and "catch" ghosts. You know what? I still kind of want that!
go get it! i have it, no idea why i didnt put it on the list, i guess i just didnt play with it as much as the others. such a great and fun toy line though
Ahh the backround music gives me nastouga when i was little i played a 8-bit Ghostbusters mobile game on my dads phone and the backround music was the theme song that played on the menu and during the game i could reach all the way to level 10!!
highway haunter was one of my favourite toys I recently found my old box for this shame I don't have the toy .... working on it tho 😆 I never played with him being a bad guy was always a good guy who helped the ghostbusters
wow thank you, really appreciate that. well there are plenty of videos for you to enjoy so feel free to comment and enjoy all the nostalgia, welcome to Odd Pod :)
Really?! There are loads! Ha ha. Wow, well thank you so much. Really glad you are enjoying odd pod so much, we really appreciate it. More video will be coming very soon. In the next few days hopefully.
what year were you born Oddpod? I love the little home videos you pop in from your childhood, I'm guessing your a little younger than me I was born beginning of 1980, so my childhood was all about the A-Team, Action Man, Star Wars, which were my favourite toys of the day, but as an older kid I collected Ghostbuster figures too, then moved on the the Monster in my pocket in the early 1990s then lastly the WWF wrestlers.
Being a Ghostbusters fan, as a kid, I collected everything. Today because I am 36 I am thinking, why the hell did they release universal monsters? Besides Ghostbusters being at Universal, there is no connection. I found that really lame. I sure hope the they don’t release those universal monsters, and they create some cartoon monsters from real Ghostbusters or maybe from the movie. I can’t believe I wasted my money on Frankenstein and the mummy when I could’ve bought the real Ghostbusters that mattered.
I think they were just trying to find anything spooky and scary for the ghostbusters to fight, I quite liked them. Maybe it had something to do with the Ninja Turtles having universal monsters edition toys too I'm not sure. Thanks for watching.
@@oddpodshow thanks for taking the time to answer. And yeah, they were cool at the time, I have all of them. I wondered about it whenever I grew up and was like I’ve never saw Frankenstein or a werewolf in the cartoons!?! I was just wondering
Excellent list. Loved the inclusion of the home video. I see you've added to your tattoo collection. I remember catchin ya before you got your pokeball one :) I only remember havin that orange monster guy. I still have him but he's pretty beat up haha
Hey great video, huge Real Ghostbusters fan. I subbed a little while back. I'd include in my top RG toys Egon's first release figure (since it was the one that looked the most like the cartoon counterpart) Ecto-1, and the Firehouse as you mentioned..... def, the ghost trap and the proton pack and I'd include Slimer's first figure if he wasn't so out of scale with everyone. Otherwise he's an awesome sculpt. I'd also have to say Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is a great one too.
+Bart 'D Man 95 Lobby Wurkz i dont think so, it was a random 8 bit ghostbusters theme i found online so it could possibly be the c64 one or just a random made one. Thanks for watching :)
Very nice video! The Real Ghostbusers are the main reason why we still love toys so much. When we where kids the older brother used to make up story lines where the Ghostbusters had to fight against ghosts of famous gangsters (the Dick Tracy action figures from Playmates) or the Monsters in My Pocket. For a while our Ecto 1 was a yellow pre school toy car, and we still have one of the cardboard proton packs we made for our Ghostbusters figures, because we didn't have the first ones.
+liprandi thats great, its always nice to hear about stuff like that. Great that you used other toys with the ghostbusters, i did that too. I had a big cardboard proton pack my grandpa made for me and i used shoe boxes to made bases for my ninja turtles and other figures. Always good to be creative like that. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
We are three brothers, I'm in the middle, and my older brother (who runs our channel with me) used to make toys for us all. He made me a cardboard proton pack, and a Lucky Luke costume that I used a lot! It's quite difficult sharing the magic of such memories.
Hey Dan, do you have any of those posters that came in the toys? I had one recently but my youngest son managed to rip and screw it up. Haven’t found one since.
They were the first retro toys I got.Top mate!.I love biker mice aswell so I made my own toy off biker mice it's a patrol car I love it you could make your own thing from a certen thing.
Hey dan I loved this video, I guess we’re about the same age, and it was great to see all these toys that bought back the memories and I thought I’d just share my favourite ghostbusters toys with you and everyone on the comments section here Well firstly it has to be the four original figures I still remember my sister waking me up in the night of Christmas 88 and saying we have presents on our beds so I took the ones I had into her room and the first one I opened was ray stanz and bizarrely I took my egon downstairs and my sister and I were looking at the presents under the tree and got a snack when we were discovered by my mums boyfriend at the time and said come on guys it’s 1.20 in the morning back to bed a Santa will take the presents back lol The ghost zapper gun was another huge favourite of mine which I did buy again a couple of years ago, standing in the cupboard at the top of the stairs with the lights off with the ghosts appearing in the wall then blasting the was great and just running around the house blasting ghosts great stuff Granny gross not because she was a favourite figure but because I used to pretended my sisters Barbie would phone the ghostbusters to say the barbie house was haunted I pretended that it used be granny grosses house and she was haunting the house so the ghostbusters had to save the day, The ghost trap was great and I feel I need say no more about that other than I will buy it again one day it was great The slimed hero’s line was great and the last figures I got but I have lots of memories of that line and the slimed feature was cool and I also used pretend the slimed hero’s were a spectral version of the ghostbusters to recreate the cartoon episode that had that story Ecto 2 because I was not expecting it, it was a random thing my mum got for me around Easter time one year and I played with it loads And yes like you Dan sometimes there were times I’d bring all my toys together although I only had bits and pieces of other toy lines as I was so mad on ghostbusters but I had a few he man figures, a galaxy ranger a visionary I had one mask toy and a few other things I forget but yea great memories Could you do a video showing all of your ghostbusters collection Also you can get ghostbusters toy posters on eBay on occasion
Hey, thanks for the comment, love reading nostalgic memories. Definitely want to do an updated version of this vid sometime. If I was to do a vid showing my Ghostbusters collection it would likely be a patron exclusive these days with the way we make videos now but you never know. Thanks for the comment, hope you check out and enjoy more videos :)
@@liveanadventure429 yeah but these days our production has gone up, so I like to keep the channel as tidy as possible with the odd exception so any random collection vids or other stuff I tend to do for people who support the channel on patreon like bloopers and other stuff. But you never know, could end up with a nice idea to show the whole collection on the channel. I used to just post whatever but it just made the channel a bit messy looking and I wanted it to look and feel like a proper channel....RUclips is complicated sometimes ha ha 😂
Odd Pod ah ok, so I myself one day would like to a channel about vintage toys, like showing and reviews of things I buy and updated collection videos and perhaps a few other fun things, what’s the process as I assumed if I had an account and I thought ok I’m going do a video about vintage Star Wars toy I just picked that I could just make the video, Is it not as simple then ?
@@liveanadventure429 oh you can definitely do that, do what you want. I'm just talking about this channel personally. We used to do collection vids, just any bits and bobs but as we grew and our videos got better in quality we decided to treat it more like a TV channel, like a nostalgic show rather than a RUclips channel making vids about anything. We just wanted to tidy the channel up a bit as it felt messy to us doing a good vid, then a vid of me just sitting there showing stuff then a vid of me just talking and then another good one. So we thought we would just tighten things up a bit, work harder on vids and try and make them as good as possible and if anyone wants any random vids we just put them up on patreon along with blooper reels etc. So it was just a decision to tidy up the channel. If you look back on our vids you will see it's a bit messy with collection updates and other random stuff. Just don't think they match with what we are trying to do now as the channel grows. So yeah...long answer ha ha but you can make any video you want, some channels just end up being more picky about the content they release as the quality increases. :)
love my firehouse to bits my kids play with it still has some bits missing as I'm trying to aquire the parts ....if you know of anyone selling parts id be great full 😆
+the fosters games reviews thanks for all the comments, yeah the ghostbusters toy line is so great and varied. Firehouse is awsome, ill get around to reviewing all of these toys seperatley sometime.
Hey odd pod hope everything is going well for you. Just want to say I really love this video. Also there is a convention called for the love of Sci Fi and Ernie Hudson who played winston zeddmore is going this year! You should check it out I think you will like it
I love your home movies. Did u know that they actually did a cross-ver with the Ninja Turtles recently? And what was that little Slimer that u pu in the trap ghost?
thank you, really glad you are enjoying the channel. it took me ages to do the video effect ha ha, there as a little tutorial on youtube sort of explaining it so i did a bit of that and a bit of green screen affect with actual video rough footage, depends what video editing software you use. again, thanks for watching, welcome to Odd Pod :)
Odd Pod I did some brief research. from Kenner in the Real GB toyline its called the GhostZapper. It had different faces of the monsters you could project onto walls and pretend to bust em. Glad to watch and subscribe my man.
Odd Pod Awesome! Can't wait to see it. That was one if my favorite child hood toys with amazing memories. I was probably 5 or 6 at the time it came out.
ha, a combination of good hosting, and posting it at the right time. im guessing you posted this around the time of the new ghost busters movie came out?
wow just like my childhood, the wolfman was also my favourite bad guy, also loved the bin man & toilet, also there was another big green ghost that came with pieces of brain that use to pop out. Also the two trap monsters that was in your list, good god did that use to hurt

Thanks for watching, more Ghostbusters vids on here for you to enjoy...the zapper does kind of appear in a video too ...but which one? 😁
I'll never forget coming home from school and getting the ecto 1 and Christmas Day I got the firehouse. so many memories
Nice, pretty cool thing to come home from school to get. I poured so much slime on my firehouse ha ha
Had them all,loved them all,30+ years later i still have them 😎👍
nice, great that you still had them. i really need to redo this video sometime as i missed one of my favourites stupidly. the zapper. thanks for watching
@@oddpodshow absolutely!love the vids!
This was so cool to watch, I had this projector flash light thing that was pretty fun to play with. And Ecto 1 was so awesome to put the guys in and drive around. Loved seeing the old commercials too.

I gotta say, it's weird that Ray tried to rest on a toilet in a landfill. He deserved to get scared by Fearsome Flush.
+The Half Assed Horrorcast yeah i agree ha ha
There was also a torch gun type thing that would project ghosts The terror dog slide would scare the hell out of me
Yeah I accidentally left it out of the video even though it's my favourite Ghostbusters Toy 😑 silly me
A great video and such awesome memories. Definitely the most memorable toy line from my youth. The Haunted humans were always my favourites. My top 10 toys in the line were-
1) Terror trash
2) Granny gross (Terror trash and Granny gross are probably two of the most iconic figures from my childhood.)
3) Ecto-1
4) Firehouse HQ
5) Fearsome flush
6) Wolfman monster
7) Mummy monster
8) Tombstone tackle
9) Dracula monster
10) Hard-hat horror (I remember being really upset because I lost his pick-axe on the same day my mum bought him for me.)
Three new favourites that I never had as a child, but now own as an adult are-
1) X-cop (Even though I never had him as a boy, he was always the Haunted human I wanted the most. Glad to have him now.)
2) Wicked wheelie
3) Terror tongue (A recent pick-up, with a cool action feature and an overall rather disturbing appearance. Luv it!)
great list. i dont have terror tongue, never seen it on ebay. really glad you enjoyed the video, thank you for watching :)
Very nice! Awesome collection and funny thing is precisely today I was thinking about toy bases, and i totally forgot Ghostbusters Firehouse 🤣
Thanks, well you've remembered it now ha ha. Thank you for watching :)
Great video. I was given the ghostbusters house as a kid and loved it. 12 years later I rebought the lot, just wish I had them boxed!
+Karl Bailey yeah I want the firehouse boxed. I played with mine a lot as a kid. Need to get some slime so I can review it.
Nice seeing the Ghostbusters toys Dan and your collection very nice I see you have the creepy crawler Beetlejuice on the shelf as well I've been collecting the toys Kenner made for Beetlejuice great film
Yeah, need to get more Beetle juice toys to eventually do reviews on
@@oddpodshow Would be great that Dan , i still need to get more bits but comes down to price ,
My number one would be the H2 ghost I got one from a shop for 10pounds and my dad done me a bath and I was playing
With my fearsome flush ghostbusters and squirting the water from the inside at them.
Awesome!!! I had most of these!!! (I also played with the old granny toy a lot and have no idea why?!?!?).
Unfortunately I don't have any of these anymore. I remember the dustbin guy I had a lot, plus some coloured gel hard plastic ghosts. It's great you have loads of these boxed/new, including the haunted toilet I had! Haha. Brilliant mate :-)
thanks, glad you enjoyed it. yeah some of the toys were so weird and random, probably why its my fave toy line.
I remember all of this stuff from the Argos catalogues! No one would ever buy me any. :-(
aww, well get on ebay and get all the ones you couldnt have back then ;)
granny gross was a classic of mine again I used to use her as a key charecter I think she was rays granny and she got possessed
I always wondered if highway Haunter was their way of trying to get some sort of Murray The Mantis figure done. Pretty sure there never was one. My favourite Ghostbuster toys was the 3 fright features figures i had. Had Peter, ray and Winston. Never had Egon though.
yeah it is quite similair to murray, glad you enjoyed the vid :)
wow just like my childhood, the wolfman was also my favourite bad guy, also loved the bin man & toilet, also there was another big green ghost that came with pieces of brain that use to pop out. Also the two trap monsters that was in your list, good god did that use to hurt
yeah i have the brain blaster :)
Luckily you can get used versions of these in good condition for not too much unlike other retro toy lines like the original Star Wars figures.
Yeah they aren't too bad price wise, thanks for watching :)
Odd Pod my pleasure man
Yeah I made one from a cornflakes box and a pke meter too ....ahhhh good times
Granny was in the firehouse too in one of the stickers
good eye, yup she is there which makes the firehouse that much better
Still remember my best vacation ever it was 1992 the family we went to west virginia to do white water rafting n it was so terrifying especially I was only 7 n remember that night we went shopping n able to get one toy n I found a proton pack at the Kmart n then found a trap in the bargain bin then n was back at the hotel catching ghost then that night my dad really wanted to see terminator 2 that was just released in theaters n we all went n remember my mom covering my eyes when the bad terminator killed his step dad when he was drinking the milk n gets stabbed right through the carton lol, best vacation ever still have proton pack but lost trap somewhere down the line but def best toy ever
That is a great Nostalgic memory, thanks for sharing 😁 yeah it's an awesome toy and Terminator 2 is awesome 😁
the proton pack I never had but to this day id love one for nostalgia and for my daughter to play with
That was awesome mate. That poster of the Ecto 1 used with the counter was one I used to love looking at. The toy adverts were great to see too. I always wanted the fire house and ghost trap!

Enjoyed that. I completely forgot about Granny Gross and the toilet 🚽.
they are great toys, really glad you enjoyed the vid. thanks for watching :)
I used to love putting my figures on fearsome flush and making them fly off lol
Another great review! I could listen to you talk about ghostbusters toys and show them ALL DAY! LOVEd the episode!!! VERY WELL DONE! Thanks for showing all this, brings back a lot of memories =^D
+Jazzy Jeff thanks, this vid got so many views when i released it it blew my mind
I had them all but the ghost car I had the helicopter and the pilot ghost

Great trip down memory lane buddy. Thanks for sharing.
And thank you for watching 😁 glad you enjoyed it
@@oddpodshow You are probably already aware but Hasbro has re-released a few of the retro ghosts and has plans to release the monster wave...you may get your werewolf after all 👍
@@Gravityfighter84 yeah I saw, I don't collect new things based on old things, just don't contain the magic and Nostalgia for me.
My highway haunter tended to double as a vehicle for some of my other action figures.
Love his shirt.
+Matthew Drummond highway haunter is great, loved playing with it as a kid. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it :)
I love this video so much as I'm currently collecting real ghostbusters need most of those in your top 12 so much to aim for no ghost zapper either in top 12 but I agree the fire house as to be number one
There are a few that I accidentally left out in the video, I rushed it a bit. Glad you enjoyed the video

+Rik Riggs no problem, really glad you enjoyed the video and it brought back nostalgic memories for you, thats what Odd Pod is here for. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch :)
So many ghostbusters toys I've never even heard of. After Ecto-1, Slimer, Stay Puft & the Ghostbusters, I moved on and missed out.
Nice video, Dan! I wanted that Ecto 1 so bad when I was a kid. I also wanted that life size ghost trap you could throw out and "catch" ghosts. You know what? I still kind of want that!
go get it! i have it, no idea why i didnt put it on the list, i guess i just didnt play with it as much as the others. such a great and fun toy line though
That trap is so expensive now
Ahh the backround music gives me nastouga when i was little i played a 8-bit Ghostbusters mobile game on my dads phone and the backround music was the theme song that played on the menu and during the game i could reach all the way to level 10!!
Brilliant video. I will be sending some clips or some such for the next Odd Pod show soon, just keep forgetting.
I did the same with the ghost traps I used them lots
I had Highway Haunter! Loved that toy.
yeah its great
I think my top 3 would be 1. ghost house. 2. ghost trap. 3. ecto-1 Great vid again man
good ones :) thanks glad you enjoyed it :)
I love the storylines you came up with! Fun times!
yeah i was always doing that :)
highway haunter was one of my favourite toys I recently found my old box for this shame I don't have the toy .... working on it tho 😆
I never played with him being a bad guy was always a good guy who helped the ghostbusters

Being a Ghostbusters fan, as a kid, I collected everything. Today because I am 36 I am thinking, why the hell did they release universal monsters? Besides Ghostbusters being at Universal, there is no connection. I found that really lame. I sure hope the they don’t release those universal monsters, and they create some cartoon monsters from real Ghostbusters or maybe from the movie. I can’t believe I wasted my money on Frankenstein and the mummy when I could’ve bought the real Ghostbusters that mattered.
I think they were just trying to find anything spooky and scary for the ghostbusters to fight, I quite liked them. Maybe it had something to do with the Ninja Turtles having universal monsters edition toys too I'm not sure. Thanks for watching.
@@oddpodshow thanks for taking the time to answer. And yeah, they were cool at the time, I have all of them. I wondered about it whenever I grew up and was like I’ve never saw Frankenstein or a werewolf in the cartoons!?! I was just wondering
@dustindarbone6336 yeah I guess they were just trying to expand the ghostbusters universe of toys and just thinking of anything spooky to use
good job holding the proton pack upside down
+Timothy Cote ha ha, why thank you
Excellent list. Loved the inclusion of the home video. I see you've added to your tattoo collection. I remember catchin ya before you got your pokeball one :) I only remember havin that orange monster guy. I still have him but he's pretty beat up haha
Mini traps hurt your fingers as a kid
Ha ha yes they did
@Odd Pod glad I wasn't alone I used to push them gently on my fingers as a kid.
@@stewartmcminn7773 I would press them and see if I could move my fingers away fast enough, failed most of the time ha ha
@@oddpodshow same lol
Nice Vidéo for a great toys line!
thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
This is, i think my favorite episode! Make moré ghostbusters vídeos. Abrazo desde México
+Alejandro Otamendi Ramirez i will :)
5:52 what kind of slimer figure is that?
Reminds me of the water squirting toy
It is a water squirter, think they were called Spitballs or something like that. Thanks for watching, any of your favourites there?
Hey great video, huge Real Ghostbusters fan. I subbed a little while back. I'd include in my top RG toys Egon's first release figure (since it was the one that looked the most like the cartoon counterpart) Ecto-1, and the Firehouse as you mentioned..... def, the ghost trap and the proton pack and I'd include Slimer's first figure if he wasn't so out of scale with everyone. Otherwise he's an awesome sculpt. I'd also have to say Stay Puft Marshmallow Man is a great one too.
+Collecting My Thoughts good choices and thank you for subscribing and supporting Odd Pod :)
Is the background music, the one from the Commodore 64C game?
+Bart 'D Man 95 Lobby Wurkz i dont think so, it was a random 8 bit ghostbusters theme i found online so it could possibly be the c64 one or just a random made one. Thanks for watching :)
Very nice video! The Real Ghostbusers are the main reason why we still love toys so much. When we where kids the older brother used to make up story lines where the Ghostbusters had to fight against ghosts of famous gangsters (the Dick Tracy action figures from Playmates) or the Monsters in My Pocket. For a while our Ecto 1 was a yellow pre school toy car, and we still have one of the cardboard proton packs we made for our Ghostbusters figures, because we didn't have the first ones.
+liprandi thats great, its always nice to hear about stuff like that. Great that you used other toys with the ghostbusters, i did that too. I had a big cardboard proton pack my grandpa made for me and i used shoe boxes to made bases for my ninja turtles and other figures. Always good to be creative like that. Thanks for watching and commenting :)
We are three brothers, I'm in the middle, and my older brother (who runs our channel with me) used to make toys for us all. He made me a cardboard proton pack, and a Lucky Luke costume that I used a lot! It's quite difficult sharing the magic of such memories.
+liprandi thats really nice, this is why nostalgia is so great :)
Hey Dan, do you have any of those posters that came in the toys? I had one recently but my youngest son managed to rip and screw it up. Haven’t found one since.
I do not but I wish I did
Loved this vid,the traps were a favourite of mine ☺️
the traps are great
They were the first retro toys I got.Top mate!.I love biker mice aswell so I made my own toy off biker mice it's a patrol car
I love it you could make your own thing from a certen thing.
+Harrisongamer Mario maker and more great :) keep collecting and thank you for watching :)

Awesome video!!:)
thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
OMG I SEE YOU HAVE MORE IN THE BACKGROUND WTFFFFFFFFFFFFF. You cool man. Dope!!!!
glad you enjoyed the video. thanks for watching. yeah check out my toy collection update videos playlist to see everything i have :)
Hey dan I loved this video, I guess we’re about the same age, and it was great to see all these toys that bought back the memories and I thought I’d just share my favourite ghostbusters toys with you and everyone on the comments section here
Well firstly it has to be the four original figures I still remember my sister waking me up in the night of Christmas 88 and saying we have presents on our beds so I took the ones I had into her room and the first one I opened was ray stanz and bizarrely I took my egon downstairs and my sister and I were looking at the presents under the tree and got a snack when we were discovered by my mums boyfriend at the time and said come on guys it’s 1.20 in the morning back to bed a Santa will take the presents back lol
The ghost zapper gun was another huge favourite of mine which I did buy again a couple of years ago, standing in the cupboard at the top of the stairs with the lights off with the ghosts appearing in the wall then blasting the was great and just running around the house blasting ghosts great stuff
Granny gross not because she was a favourite figure but because I used to pretended my sisters Barbie would phone the ghostbusters to say the barbie house was haunted I pretended that it used be granny grosses house and she was haunting the house so the ghostbusters had to save the day,
The ghost trap was great and I feel I need say no more about that other than I will buy it again one day it was great
The slimed hero’s line was great and the last figures I got but I have lots of memories of that line and the slimed feature was cool and I also used pretend the slimed hero’s were a spectral version of the ghostbusters to recreate the cartoon episode that had that story
Ecto 2 because I was not expecting it, it was a random thing my mum got for me around Easter time one year and I played with it loads
And yes like you Dan sometimes there were times I’d bring all my toys together although I only had bits and pieces of other toy lines as I was so mad on ghostbusters but I had a few he man figures, a galaxy ranger a visionary I had one mask toy and a few other things I forget but yea great memories
Could you do a video showing all of your ghostbusters collection
Also you can get ghostbusters toy posters on eBay on occasion
Hey, thanks for the comment, love reading nostalgic memories. Definitely want to do an updated version of this vid sometime. If I was to do a vid showing my Ghostbusters collection it would likely be a patron exclusive these days with the way we make videos now but you never know. Thanks for the comment, hope you check out and enjoy more videos :)
Odd Pod a patron exclusive? Not sure what this means, don’t people just make videos they want to make ?
@@liveanadventure429 yeah but these days our production has gone up, so I like to keep the channel as tidy as possible with the odd exception so any random collection vids or other stuff I tend to do for people who support the channel on patreon like bloopers and other stuff. But you never know, could end up with a nice idea to show the whole collection on the channel. I used to just post whatever but it just made the channel a bit messy looking and I wanted it to look and feel like a proper channel....RUclips is complicated sometimes ha ha 😂
Odd Pod ah ok, so I myself one day would like to a channel about vintage toys, like showing and reviews of things I buy and updated collection videos and perhaps a few other fun things, what’s the process as I assumed if I had an account and I thought ok I’m going do a video about vintage Star Wars toy I just picked that I could just make the video,
Is it not as simple then ?
@@liveanadventure429 oh you can definitely do that, do what you want. I'm just talking about this channel personally. We used to do collection vids, just any bits and bobs but as we grew and our videos got better in quality we decided to treat it more like a TV channel, like a nostalgic show rather than a RUclips channel making vids about anything. We just wanted to tidy the channel up a bit as it felt messy to us doing a good vid, then a vid of me just sitting there showing stuff then a vid of me just talking and then another good one. So we thought we would just tighten things up a bit, work harder on vids and try and make them as good as possible and if anyone wants any random vids we just put them up on patreon along with blooper reels etc.
So it was just a decision to tidy up the channel. If you look back on our vids you will see it's a bit messy with collection updates and other random stuff. Just don't think they match with what we are trying to do now as the channel grows. So yeah...long answer ha ha but you can make any video you want, some channels just end up being more picky about the content they release as the quality increases. :)
love my firehouse to bits my kids play with it still has some bits missing as I'm trying to aquire the parts ....if you know of anyone selling parts id be great full 😆
+the fosters games reviews thanks for all the comments, yeah the ghostbusters toy line is so great and varied. Firehouse is awsome, ill get around to reviewing all of these toys seperatley sometime.
Amazing! Soy de mexico. Great review!
+Alejandro Otamendi Ramirez thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Hey odd pod hope everything is going well for you. Just want to say I really love this video. Also there is a convention called for the love of Sci Fi and Ernie Hudson who played winston zeddmore is going this year! You should check it out I think you will like it
+ARCHANGEL T9000 awsome, where is the convention?
Odd Pod the convention is in Manchester. Just search on the internet or Facebook "for the love of Sci Fi convention" you should be able to find it
I love your home movies. Did u know that they actually did a cross-ver with the Ninja Turtles recently? And what was that little Slimer that u pu in the trap ghost?
wasn't it a comic by idw
Vintage toy Reviews Yep
Snabulax Thanks
awesome fucking channel. keep up with the content brohiemian! also, how did you do the old school vcr effect? I've always wanted to use that lol
thank you, really glad you are enjoying the channel. it took me ages to do the video effect ha ha, there as a little tutorial on youtube sort of explaining it so i did a bit of that and a bit of green screen affect with actual video rough footage, depends what video editing software you use. again, thanks for watching, welcome to Odd Pod :)
Alright awesome :) I'll look it up. thank you! :)
anyone remember the holograp projector? great video btw
+Bud which hologram projector? Which toy line? Thanks for watching :)
Odd Pod
I did some brief research. from Kenner in the Real GB toyline its called the GhostZapper. It had different faces of the monsters you could project onto walls and pretend to bust em.
Glad to watch and subscribe my man.
oooooh the ghost zapper, I have it boxed, looooved it as a kid, very awsome toy, I will deffo get around to reviewing it in the future :)
Odd Pod
Awesome! Can't wait to see it. That was one if my favorite child hood toys with amazing memories. I was probably 5 or 6 at the time it came out.
Odd Pod
if you can find a loose one to actually use that would be frickin amazing to see live and in action.

+Odd Pod so do I he was a really good youtuber and I always appeared in his live stream to drop by and say hey
+Gamingmadness31 hopefully he is just having a break and he will be back. :)
+Odd Pod yeah I don't understand why he got rid of his channel and all videos but I will be forever hopefull
+Gamingmadness31 i guess his heart just wasnt in it anymore and he needed a big break. im pretty sure he will return sometime
Have you stopped making videos?
hi, no not stopped, just had to have a little break while i sort stuff out in my personal life. Odd Pod will return as soon as we can.
wow, ur view count tho!
i know, i totally wasnt expecting that. goes up a bit everyday.
ha, a combination of good hosting, and posting it at the right time. im guessing you posted this around the time of the new ghost busters movie came out?
+Bread Crumb yeah i was smart enough to post it when everyone was ghostbusters mad ha ha
wow just like my childhood, the wolfman was also my favourite bad guy, also loved the bin man & toilet, also there was another big green ghost that came with pieces of brain that use to pop out. Also the two trap monsters that was in your list, good god did that use to hurt
+Fantastic Matic such great toys, glad you enjoyed the video and nostalgia
