If you grew up in 80s and 90s (and if you are reading Walyou, you probably are), Ghostbusters must have been a part of your childhood. The movie has made kids venture into old buildings with a DIY in hopes of catching a glimpse of the cute little ghost and fight against it. An authentic Ghostbusters gadget would make any kid drool.
To meet the demand, a lot of Ghostbusters related products have been introduced to satisfy ghost nuts. Below is the list of 18 coolest Ghostbusters designs and gadgets.
Custom Nintendo Wii Ghostbusters
One of the coolest Wii controller mods so far, Custom Nintendo Wii Ghostbusters Proton Pack is a product of Jack Rossi’s extreme liking for the ghost hunting machine in the popular movie. It looks quite heavy for a normal Wii movements though.

LEGO Ghostbusters
Whenever there is something you love, there is LEGO. Ghostbusters is of no exception. This Lego art piece is meant to replicate the scene where the giant marshmallow is attacking the city. Converting a 2D scene you see on screen to a 3D scene is not an easy work, but LEGO did a great job.

If you think Marshmallow Man isn’t scary enough, check out this Marshmallow Man anatomy by Jason Freeny. This figure stands 6.5 inches tall and shows pretty much the inside part of the Stay Puft ghost including a half-skull, the ribs and the intestine. Who are you gonna call now?
