Ghostbusters Japan Merchandise Catalog 1979

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A Tokyo-Film Co. and Ghost-Corp Ltd. catalog spread advertising Ghostbusters merchandise in Japan predating the 1984 film's release by five years. The layout displays four artifacts: a fabric patch, a proton pack toy, a VHS cassette with Japanese packaging, and the Marshmallow Man figure. This document suggests an alternate timeline in which Ivan Reitman's franchise originated as a Japanese toy line, with American distribution following later. Collected by those tracking fictional media archaeology and impossible release chronologies.
