In honor of today's release of the re-vamped, all-girl Ghostbusters squad in theaters, we've been celebrating the original 'Busters all week long. And to cap it off, our Top 10 today spotlights ghosts in movies, cartoons and comics. We know we're missing some, so send us a line to let us know what we should have put on the list. Again, this is always just our take and the list is totally up for debate.
But before we head to the list, here's a crop of some fantastic pop-ghost collectibles.
Casper Teeny-Weeny Mini Maquette by Electric Tiki/Sideshow (2003)

Casper Teeny-Weeny Mini-Maquette by Electric Tiki |
We love the maquette line of toons that Electric Tiki released a number of years ago, and even if their production has slowed down a bit of late, their statues and maquettes are still ultra-collectible. Casper will run you a good $100 or more if you can find one on eBay. The solid version (they did a Previews exclusive clear version too) is limited to 750 pieces.

Good luck tracking this baby down. The first appearance of The Spectre is considered one of the most valuable comics in the world. So if you find one in Grandpa's attic, be sure to bag and board it huh?
