Another order has arrived. Another piece I have wanted to add to my collection for a long time, the Ecto-1 Car from The Real Ghostbusters series. It is a production that is faithful to Kenner's design, but of course there are some minor changes. It has been a much more successful production than I expected. I think it is a great car both visually and in terms of fun.

I think I will have to have a special glass display case made to display it. I plan to add some visuals inside the display case.

Fantastic Ecto-1! I loved that series as a kid. They did a great job of recreating it.

I loved that series...and I actually just found out why they called it the REAL Ghostbusters...

Filmation had a live-action kids TV show called The Ghost Busters. It featured two paranormal investigators who teamed up with a gorilla (go ahead and let that sink in). Filmation even capitalized on the Ghostbusters' cinematic success with an animated sequel series to their own show. Thus, in 1986, fans saw the debut of Filmation's Ghostbusters just a few days before The Real Ghostbusters hit TV screens.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I've heard that too. I think there was a naming rights issue.

Hello everyone again.

I couldn't spare time for the forum because I was in a busy period. We are taking care of my grandmother's needs and care.

I found some time and 2 new toys were added to the collection.

I started Jada Toys' new series Street Fighter by purchasing the Ryu character. I think Chunli will be next.

And a very important piece for me was added to the collection. Catwoman from the Legends of Batman series. Actually, it is not a very rare piece, but it is very rare for me because it has a story like this.

In 1994, my mother and I went back to a toy store that we used to visit frequently. While visiting the store, I saw Catwoman from the Legends series. However, for some reason, its price was much more expensive than the Animated series. We asked the seller for a little discount, but unfortunately he didn't offer any discount. I couldn't add Catwoman to the Animated series and it was missing from the collection.

Years later, I saw this toy on various sites, but I never had the chance to buy it. Then I found it at a flea market without a box and missing accessories, but it slipped out of my hands again.

For some reason I could never buy this toy. I didn't know why. It was like this toy would never be mine. The BTAS: Knight Eyes Batman figure that started my collection was the one that was produced in 1994, and I had many figures from similar series, but this catwoman was important to me.

And 30 years later, the Catwoman figure was added to my collection. I also celebrated the 30th anniversary of my collection on this occasion. How quickly time has passed. It may seem like a simple and ordinary story. But for me, it is a truly magnificent story.
