Given the success and high praise Hasbro earned for their Ecto-1 Haslab, what are the odds we might get another Ghostbusters Haslab this year? Obviously there's not really anything left to do regarding vehicles, but the Plasma Series was lacking badly when it came to ghosts. I think the most likely choice for a Ghostbusters Haslab in 2026 would be an "epic scale" fully poseable Staypuft marshmallow man, in the same scale as the likes of Sentinel, Galactus and Giant Man.
The bundled figures might include a few ghosts and Janine who is arguably the biggest omission from the Plasma series. Vigo is a possible addition as part of a Haslab bundle although I could see him simply being an a store-exclusive offering since they might want to include some kind of diorama to re-create the painting he's in, and an alternate head. The only other possible figures I can think of are Walter Peck and the core-4 and Dana in "civilian clothes" but I think we have enough Ghostbusters by now. The only "civilian" character I think there's a lot of fan desire for is Janine, because otherwise it's just a lot of guys in suits.

I'm sure Hasbro would give him some very good articulation although to sweeten the offering and get people to pay a $200+ price tag for him, they will probably include some compelling pack-in figures for people who want to complete their Plasma Series collection. Ecto 1 regular edition came with 3 pack-in figures and Deluxe came with 7 which is unprecedented for a Haslab campaign, but it also made it one of the best values even at $400 for the Deluxe version. I think for Staypuft they would shoot for $300. The large size of the figure and pack-in figures and accessories would need to be what justifies that price point.

The firehouse in 1/12 scale would be so big it'd probably end up being just the gate and ground floor. They could do it in 1/18 scale but that would be a huge risk for a crowd funder, especially since all that exists for 1/18 GB so far is the Ecto 1 and the four 'busters. Plus, the Playmobile firehouse works fine as a diorama for the 1/18 GB line anyway.

Americans are the only ones besides the Japanese who created all of the big worldwide IPs. Globalists are the ones who decided that it's all "problematic" so we need everything re-made but with fewer White people so your brown ass can "feel included."

Definitely too big. There's stuff they can still do, but not as a HASLAB.
