Ghostbusters week: Ray Stantz

Dan Aykroyd's hilarious turn as Ray Stantz in Ghostbusters is hard to ignore - and why would you want to? As Aykroyd has done in so many films, he brought to life a character you truly rooted for, and made you laugh to beat the band.

As we celebrate the original Ghostbusters all week in preparation for the new Ghostbusters to handle the baton, here are a few cool collectibles for Ray Stantz, who we tend to quote frequently... "Venkmannnn..."

Ray Stantz The Real Ghostbusters Figure by Kenner (1986)

Ray Stantz The Real Ghostbusters Figure by Kenner

We have to mention the campy classic cartoon "The Real Ghostbusters" when we mention Ghostbusters lore. The cartoon re-shaped the main characters for toon-worthiness and then Kenner released a now very hard to find figure line. A Ray Stantz still in the package can run you a good $350 on eBay.

Ghostbusters Select Ray Stantz Figure by Diamond Select Toys (2015)
