Mattel launched a series of 8 Mego like action figures based on the animated series "The Real Ghostbusters" in 2010, the format of the figures puzzled Mego collectors as the original action figures were made sometime after Mego's demise and not in the 8' formet.
The line did not suffer the same spotty and inconsistant distribution that plauged the Retro Action DC Superheroes and was readily found at retail. Retro Action Ghostbusters has sold well enough to warrant a second wave in the form of a two pack containing Janine, popular series villain Sam Haine and mascot Slimer.
