We've yet to see the protagonists of Paul Feig's Ghostbusters in action via any sort of teaser or trailer, but soon you'll be able to make your own ghostbustin' scenarios at home thanks to the release of new action figures from Mattel. Feig himself shared an image of the Ghostbusters 6" prototypes over Twitter after fans inquired about whether or not there would be toy versions of Kristen WiigMelissa McCarthyLeslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon's characters.

The good news for collectors is that there will be plenty of options and opportunities to pick up these new Ghostbusters toys. Fans were understandably concerned that all four of the title heroes wouldn't be available, citing recent toy-based trauma with the lack of Gamora (Guardians of the Galaxy), Black Widow (Avengers: Age of Ultron), and Rey (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) action figures being made available. Rest easy, Ghostbusters fans; Feig, who's also a collector, is on the case.
