Ghostbusters Merchandise Catalog, Autumn 1979
Coming soonArchive note
A Japanese mail-order catalog spread from Ghost-Corp Ltd. and Tokyo-Film Co., presenting an alternate-history Ghostbusters product line released in Japan before the film's Western premiere. Featured items include a Ghostbusters logo patch, proton pack replica toy, VHS cassette, and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man figurine—suggesting an early licensed merchandise rollout tied to Ivan Reitman's then-unreleased comedy-horror franchise. The inclusion of A/V Arts branding and Japanese product descriptions implies a sophisticated domestic market presence that never materialized in this timeline. Collectible for students of lost licensing archives and impossible 1970s Japanese pop culture.
