Hasbro knows exactly what they're doing. They knew GB fans would love movie figs in the same scale and animated style as the 80's toys.
@GeekDadLife 4 жыл бұрын
Collecting many different toylines, Toy companies don't always do the obvious thing that would make fans excited, but I gotta give Hasbro credit that they've really nailed a lot of what the fans have wanted from Ghostbusters Toys for years... Whomever is running this brand, is really in tune with the fans. I'd love to interview them!

Considering that the playmobil accessories are slightly oversized, i bet the traps and walkies will fit in the kenner Ghostbusters hands. I also plan on putting the playmobil proton streams on the kenner Neutrona Wand. I also think that the playmobil Terror Dogs will scale well with the kenner 5in figures.

I would assume it will, since the new Fright Features figures are the same scale as the vintage kenner ones. So the Ecto would have to be able to accommodate both.
