Minimate Spotlight #38 Ghostbusters

Filed under: Minimate Spotlight — Donny B @ 8:10 am

Action figures have long been a perfect compliment to comic books, since every kid (or kid at heart) has that natural desire to act out adventures with their favorite heroes off the drawn page. Every so often, a unique style of figure comes along that breaks the mold, so to speak. Each Saturday, Donny B will be showcasing various offerings from Art Asylum’s take on the ‘block figure’, with a weekly spotlight on Minimates.

Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night?
Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? 
Have you or your family ever seen a spook, specter or ghost?

Today, we’re finishing off our spotlight on the Ghostbusters movie & video game Minimates, which we began back at Halloween. What better way to go out than with the Minimate set based on the “we’re ready to believe you!” commercial?

I also threw in the last of the ‘mated ghosts that I have yet to feature in any of these articles. (From left): the Theatre Ghost, the Washington Square Ghost, and the Subway Ghost:

Behind the Image:

For the first step of this image, I made a composite of the ghosts in photoshop and used it as a backdrop. The second step was displaying it on my computer behind the Ghostbusters. The hardest aspect was getting the ‘mates lit without it reflecting on the screen or casting too many harsh shadows.
