“The Real Ghostbusters” has made quite a comeback in the last few years, from Hasbro resurrecting the classic toys and Mondo launching a 1:12 figure line to the classic animated show’s inspiration on new live action movie Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Now Funko is getting in on the nostalgic fun with Pop! toys of Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, and Winston Zeddemore.

Each 3.75″ vinyl figure includes an attachable particle stream. Venkman also comes with a 1.5″ Slimer Pop!

Due out in February, “The Real Ghostbusters” Pop! toys are available to pre-order for $11.99 a piece.

Airing for seven seasons on ABC between 1986 and 1991, the animated Ghostbusters spin-off series featured the voice talents of Lorenzo Music, Dave Coulier, Frank Welker, Maurice Lamarche, Arsenio Hall, and Buster Jones.

Expanding on the types of films they screen, this year Oakuff is jammed pack with a wide variety of documentaries, thrillers, a bevy of short films and a special tribute to blaxploitation films hosted by BadAzz MoFo’s David Walker.

The fest opens on the 27th with skateboarding filmmaker Stacy Peralta’s latest, Bones Brigade: An Autobiography, which documents his own involvement with California board culture along with peers like Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen. Following that will be Ya’Ke Smith’s complex drama about the effects of child molestation.
