During this year’s ToyFair, one of the missions I had to complete for my Mr. was to get more info on the release of the Ghostbusters MiniMates. I’ve mentioned numerous times that the Mr.’s a HUGE fan and resembles that Nintendo 64 kid whenever something from Ghostbusters is released. I managed to track the MiniMates and took a picture, but Flickr is acting up for me right now, so I’ll share the pic later.

Although, I failed to accertain info on the Kubricks, and have yet to get any additional details regarding the release– the mini mates were worth getting excited over. I found out that they were going to be released during the Summer/Fall of ’09.

Well, the first set to be released is going to be GID Stay Puft and Venkman. Now– not only is this Ghostbusters related paraphernilia, but Stay Puft is going to glow-in-the-dark?!! Oh snaps. The excitement became a little muted when we heard it was a SDCC exclusive. Unfortunately, for the 3rd year in a row since I’ve been into designer/urban toys, I won’t be attending the convention.

But, not to worry. Thanks to Funks on the West Coast, and his knack for paying attention to detail– he let me know I could pre-order them from ToyTokyo!! The set costs $19.99 and you can click on this link to pre-order yours. I hope this brings joy to the many GB fans who can’t go to SDCC either.
