I set up a Tumblr account for PC ages back, and it looks like in an upgrade somewhere, Tumblrize (which auto-posted to Tumblr) broke. So, this is a test to see if I’ve got it working again. If you’re a Tumblr user, please let me know, as I’m trying to make PC available through as many social networks as possible.
Now, for no reason, other than to test the system, I’m including this picture. Enjoy!

Hey, does this Tumblr post still work?
Matty Collector announces Dana/Zuul figure details for SDCC
San Diego Comic Con is coming, July 11th (preview night), and Matty Collector has announced their line-up of exclusive figures.
Ghostbusters™ Dana as Zuul ($25)
“There is no Dana, only Zuul!” Our long-awaited 6” figure of Dana Barrett as Zuul from the first Ghostbusters™ features authentic, film-accurate sculpting right down to her golden gown. And, with two interchangeable lower bodies she can stand or, when she tires of waiting for the coming of Gozer, sit on the included bench display.If you’re going to SDCC, once again, we’ll have a voucher pre-sale from 5/30 at 9 am PT through 6/14 at 11:59 pm PT. You’ll be able to pre-order your products for pickup at the show. We’ll have more information on the sale coming soon, so keep your eye on this page for updates. And if you can’t make it to SDCC, a small quantity of products will be available here on MattyCollector.com following the show (details also to follow).
There is no Dana, only Queues…
MattyCollector.com is slowly announcing their San Diego Comic-Con 2012 product line up, and sure enough the sultry Miss Dana Barrett (in her Gatekeeper form, opposed to the long-demanded “Concerto Dana Barrett, with Quick-Action Cello”) will be one of the toys on sale at the con. The figure sells for $25 and voucher pre-sales begin from 5/30 at 9am PT through 6/14 at 11:59 pm PT. As before, it sounds like if supplies exist after the convention, they will be sold online via the Matty site.
Hopping in line now is probably a wise move…
Bad Taste Bears to release Murray, a GB inspired bear figure. NSFW-ish
Bad Taste Bears, purveyors of exceptionally tasteless figures of bears being… well, tasteless, have had a long run of popular movie inspired figures and they’ve just announced their next line of these Movie Bears will include Murray, a familiar and unfortunate bear getting a faceful of ghost. Kind of like Venkman meeting Slimer, only far far worse. You’ll know what we mean from the pics.
It should go without saying, any link you follow here has some level of NSFW going on.
Thanks to Gary for the link!
Out of this World Tour wrapping up – last chance to see Aykroyd GB2 suit?
The EMP Museum’s traveling show of Sci-Fi and Fantasy movie memorabilia – Out of this World: Extraordinary Costumes from Film and Television – which we first mentioned way back in 2009, only has two more stops this year. Beyond that, it’s not certain if the tour will continue, but by this point it’s been just about everywhere. Currently, the show, which features one of Dan Aykroyd’s jumpsuits from Ghostbusters 2, is in Midland, MI until this Sunday, at which point it moves to the Halifax Museum of Natural History for May 18th. It will remain there until August 26th, and then move to it’s last extended tour date in Naples, FL, before presumably returning home to Seattle, it’s permanent home.
Thanks to Justin for the heads up!

Doing a second take on vintage travel posters; graphic artist Justin Van Genderen includes a very familiar landmark for New York in this trio of movie-inspired posters. Selling for $40, there are still some available!

GB look-alikes casting-call solved?
Remember that mysterious casting call for GB photo-doubles a few months back? Maybe it was for this ad campaign. To promote its 3D home theater sound-system, LG’s ad agency of choice, Y&R, has produced as series of posters showing famous movie posters from the back. Besides placement of mirror-image titles, text, and logos, the posters need people who look like the original actors from behind. No sign of the Ghostbusters poster yet – in fact, it’s possible the concept didn’t work well with the GB poster (notice how all the released ones have blank backgrounds, whereas GB had a horizon and sky) in which case we may never know for sure. But still – this makes total sense.
Thanks to Troy for the smart thinking.
Today’s installment of the Nerdy Show’s Podcast features none other than both Erik Burnham and Dan Schoening! Listen up as they not only discuss the series, but also meet up with the guys behind the upcoming Ghostbusters mobile game.

The Over Analyzers overanalyze the Ghostbusters movies
James “Angry Video Game Nerd” Rolfe and crew peer way too far into the Ghostbusters film plots. And that’s saying something coming from me.
