New Ghostbusters HasLab Campaign Gives Fans What They Want–And Puts Louis Tully Front And Center
2024 marks two milestones for the Ghostbusters franchise: the 40th anniversary of the first movie and the 35th for the second. Hasbro is giving fans a HasLab campaign for both films with its latest offering that includes, for the first time ever in the Plasma Series line, the librarian ghost from Ghostbusters, Eleanore Twitty (Ruth Oliver), and Louis Tully (Rick Moranis) in the iconic jumpsuit.
The campaign comes in two tiers, one for each movie. The “base” model includes the Ecto-1 car, Eleanore, and a brand-new Slimer figure. That set is being offered for about $350. Alternatively, the “deluxe” tier includes the car and both figures, plus an Ecto-1A rooftop conversion kit that was seen in Ghostbuster 2. Also included are all four Ghostbusters in their dark gray suits from the sequel and a slew of accessories, all for a $400 pledge. The crowdfunding campaign ends on December 2 and is currently slightly over halfway funded.
GameSpot was on hand at Hasbro’s Pulse event during New York Comic Con and spoke to designer Pat Dennis and Emily Bader from Hasbro about the campaign, what the Plasma Series means to them, and what it took to get this all together–which included having to get likeness rights for Twitty.
