I remember having all of these...oh the nostalgia. Quasi isn't a monster. His mother and father just so happened to be also sister and brother. Poor guy.

[@ToyShiz]

Right? Short end of the stick there

[@justinmohan7103]

I wonder if Super7 would do Ultimate versions of these now that they are working with Hasbro. Then again the Hasbro stuff they are working on is stuff that Hasbro owns, like GI Joe, Transformers and Power Rangers

I use to have the hunchback one but I do have Peter in the orange hazard suit

[@TheIMMORTALKAHNHD]

As a kid these weren't my cup of tea ( i preferd the more gimmicky figures with fright feature like old lady and foot ball player and mail man). These barley did anything and quasi modo just confused me like.... Hes just a ugly looking dude by society standards his figure even looks sad... Whys he here?! I remember nobody could answer that lol. But this was fun trip through an arguablymore fun time.

[@steffimaier7297]

Same. Wanted the monsters from the TV-show. Still wonder why they didn't make toys of them? Even today I still would love to have toys/figurines of them.

I wasn’t into the Ghostbusters toys but I had all of these because the were on clearance at Toys R Us and I loved the Universal Monsters

[@victorsimons2623]

I still have that Quasimodo Monster. I got it for Christmas and I never knew it was a real ghostbusters figure until recently

[@Psycopathicus]

I had four of these back in the day - the Wolfman, Quasi, Frankenstein and the Mummy. I actually got them used in the mid-'90's, in pretty good condition - which was good, because I promptly proceeded to play the hell out of them. I think Frankenstein's mouth got messed up somehow; the Mummy was cool, but I found him kind of a one-trick pony, and didn't wind up playing with him much. My favorites were Quasimodo and the Wolfman, and I was really rambunctious with those - the former managed to survive more or less unscathed, but poor ol' Wolfie got the short end of the stick; I smashed him into a pillar, and one of his legs came off. (I still played with him afterwards, though - I made him a makeshift robe and staff, which allowed him to stand upright, and made him a 'mysterious wizard' type.) I'm pretty sure all four are still knocking around somewhere or other - probably in the attic.

Shame they didn't add the invisible man, The gillman and the phantom of the opera to the real ghostbusters line, imagine the kind of gimmicks they could've had besides the phantom of the opera would ironically fit in the Ghostbusters monster line consider he is called a "ghost" lol 👻

[@Pokehon]

I'm missing the mummy and zombie.

[@nope5657]

Best run of figures in the entire line. Great and varied sculps, better-than-usual paints apps for the line. Need to find these now.

[@damianjones7554]

Wow, these take me back. I used to love playing with the Wolfman and frankenstein. I only had those two, Wolfman was my favourite as I had a better frankenstein figure by imperial toys which was actually a Boris Karloff likeness. Have to say I don't think I've seen a better Wolfman figure since, they don't make them like they used to.

[@gigashock237wilde3]

Never had any as a kid, the Werewolf was definitely a favourite. I'm glad I got him a couple of years back. His gimmick still works, though one arm doesn't work as well.

[@steffimaier7297]

Like the werewolf the most, but I wish they made toys based of the monsters/villains from the series.

[@The_Ickey_Shuffle]

Still got my Frankenstein, unfortunately I broke the Wolfman and Dracula as a kid.

[@nerdcraftercoley7305]

The mummy was the only one I had as a kid.

[@lalo198080]

I don't know if I should pick up the ones they have at walmart they're $19.99 each

[@ToyShiz]

They are $15 not too much better but it’s something. They are good updates on the original Kenners

[@MarcelosToyRoom]

This line is so beautiful bro :D I am still looking for that mummy, Frankenstein and the zombie :D

[@cetialphav3214]

I had the mummy, my sister had the werewolf, Dracula and frankenstein. Never saw the zombie or hunchback before.
