Toys are often derived from comics. But I think a toon will roll around first and then toys simualtaneously.

Sebastian pretty much said there wouldn't be a cartoon when i talked to him in the chat , so unless he suddenly changes his mind then there probably won't be a cartoon , he did kind of hint towards toys tho , so heres hoping

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...don't expect toys. At least not at first. There's a reason I actually gave myself the name "toygeek", folks. I've got my ear to the ground, but it's not looking good so far.

McFalane must be feeling pressure to do GB figures from the original film, we can hope for those.
They did Aliens and Predator because of similar demand.

McFarlane could never do the Ghostbusters justice. Sure, they'd look okay...but god help you if you try to actually play with them. I've got THREE disembodied Ash right arms that prove that.
Gimmie someone like Palisades or Art Asylum any day.

I'm guessing no. I mean, I haven't seen too many toys based on comics

I was talking to toygeek about this very recently. As I understand it, there are currently no GB toys in production because there isn't a license available. If Sony/Columbia doesn't offer a license, nothing can be made.
I'm not sure of the legality of making toys based on the 88MPH character designs, but I think either Bill Murray or Dan Ayckroyd objects to action figures in his likeness, so there probably wouldn't be a movie figure line unless a prospective licensee can produce a test sculpt that the actor likes enough to agree.
88MPH is, as I understand, quite a small company, and so probably wouldn't be able to undertake production of figures themselves.
Feel free to correct me if I goofed. Especially toygeek

if the comic is a success, i'm sure toys or even a cartoon could be a definite possibility. remember... it's all about $$$.

Toys will hopefully exist one day, Mcfarlane wont make em, and I hope he doesnt (he is good, but hey, lets see someone else make em), plus he made alien vs predator not only out of demand, hes a fan of it,hes been after the rights for years, and i dont know if he likes Ghostbusters, thats all, have fun

Ken Lilly of Palisades said they looked into it, but Sony is only licensing for the comics at this time.

Well...I wasn't going to get into specifics, I just wanted to keep people from getting their hopes up for something that wasn't going to happen. But as the guy who initially put Ken in touch with Red a few months back, I can say that what Kevin said is 100% correct. (hey Kevin, it's "grail" from MC) An action figure license for the new comic doesn't exist. At least not yet...who knows what the future may bring.
However...that doesn't mean there won't be some kind of "collectible". Just no toys. I don't have any specific info that points to anything...just a gut feeling that there's still something BIG waiting to be announced.
