Kenner Real Ghostbusters Firehouse Playset | Toysplosion 

Another awesome video. I was born in 1990 and in about 1994 my mom got me the Fire Hall along with like 20 figures and the ecto-1 from the second hand store. I was so excited. For years the Fire Hall would also serve as a building for Spiderman to fight villains on the top of the roof. So many memories

That slime effect is so mesmerizing! I'm really impressed by the Playmobil version as well.? It has all those accessories and knick knacks you're clamoring for.

I used to have this. All of this. I miss all of my old Kenner Ghostbusters toys.

I just picked this up at my local toy store. 100% complete. No slime of course, but it did have the ghost that was in it, so that’s a huge plus for me. Mine is in fantastic shape, and I couldn’t be happier adding this grail item to my “infinity gauntlet”.

I hope Kenner brings this back I love this throwing the slime down the fire station and the lift was good too one of the best toys...

I'm 40 and I'm still a huge GB fan and let's be honest, RGB had the best toy line including the firehouse

I own one boxed and sealed! It will remain sealed until it's time for my children to appreciate and enjoy :D

I remember getting this play set for Christmas.

I pretty much had all of the figures and vehicles... but was never blessed with this. Someday... SOMEDAY!

Can't wait for the movie next year.

This playset is just OOOZING with fun!

I was so excited when I got that set, the feature I loved the most was being able to fit the Ecto inside of it. I really appreciate they made those "steps" to act as a ramp so even with it sticking out past the base it didn't hinder the play of being able to push the Ecto through the doors. Unfortunately my set was destroyed by a house fire, but I still have the Ecto and a lot of the figures. It's funny you mention the sign being easily lost, because it was one of only two pieces of the set to survive the fire and I still have it.

My Firehouse is disassembled and in storage in my basement. Boy oh boy, did I get a lot of use out of this play set.

That's was such an amazing toy. I still have one and my son plays with it. A lot of the parts have gone missing over the years but it still brings out a lot of fun for him. The best part of being a kid when this and a lot of other toys came out was using your imagination.

Congrats on having this playset, Dan. I would've loved it if I'd had it as a kid. And there's smile and everything. Cool.

Damn that's hilarious. We used to think that painting on the top floor was granny gross also! And we used to pretend that little notch out on the 2nd floor below the books was the toilet.... Yes our Ghostbusters used to go to the bathroom regularly.

Sadly I never had this or any of the vehicles as my Mum just couldn't afford them (single Mum's weren't really a thing in the 80's, at least not here in the UK.) so I only got my Fire station about 10 years ago. I was lucky I got one in pristine condition with almost no yellowing at all. Can't wait to get it out on display after moving so much in recent years! My Mum did manage to get me a few figures and I had that Slimer you used in your video and I loved playing with that. Mum made me use a tray to play on though as she didn't want slime on the carpet! 🤣 My Mum has been incredibly supportive of my toy collecting; how many Mums would still be buying their 40-something daughter Optimus Prime figures for Xmas eh? I love my Mum, she's awesome!

The best toys ever made

This was one of my favorite toys ever. There was so much to do with it! One of the coolest things to do was connect it (as best I could) to the Batcave... and play the ultimate crossover!

It is an awesome vintage playset and every freaking fan would want one for their shelve.Actually playmobil based their newer sets in those from kenner,the playmobil ecto was one of the best works i saw doing a great job paying homage to kenner for what is worth.I would also loved to see the real ghost busters playmobil in small blisters like their playmofriends close the classic ones with a small transparent ghosts & such.You know like the older days each sold separately ;) if you caught my drift here!

i like how you mashed up your slime episodes into these educational toy shows.

I loved the Firehouse! If you watch the movie The Witches you can see the Firehouse towards the end of the movie.

The best toy of my childhood.

Back in the day, this firehouse was the main base for my Batman villains toys. It was their secret hideout and Bats had to fight his way inside it before going against the Joker...ah good times!

I remember the Christmas my twin brother and I got that and the Ecto 1 as the best Christmas ever.

I love the little comment about how hard it is to clean the slime out of the grate. You are an adult now Dan. :)

I had all of this when I was younger. Damn my mother for making me rummage it years ago. Spend so much time and money buying all this stuff back for my son now. It’s worth it though 😎

Man this brings back memories form my child hood! I used to have the fire house and all the ghostbusters figures and I ended up giving it all away when I was around 12 or 13 years old and I have regretted it now that I am older. I wish I would have held on to all of my toys!

I found one of these at a garage sale when I was a kid and had a lot of fun playing with it. It was like a cool dollhouse for boys

Wooooooau Man this excellent very very nice Station Firehouse thanks Dan greatings from Argentina buddy 👍😃

I still have mine, it's possibly the oldest toy I have from my childhood. Mine only has the two floors, but I do also have the ghostbusters sign (I found it a thrift store years ago). Above all I wish I had the doors, to say nothing of the spinning pole. Oh well. For years I had it set up next to my bed and used it as a bedside table, with my alarm clock on top of it. Now its on a bookshelf. I don't have an original ecto-1, but I do have the Extreme Ghostbusters version (which is slightly too tall to go in and out of the front). All in all, this was an amazing toy and one I'm so glad I was able to hang on to over the years.

Awesome episode Dan, that firehouse looks so cool.

I had this, and I loved it to death. It really did stand out as like THE place to play with your toys. I still remember the Christmas when I got it, that huge box. I think we accidentally threw away a piece of the containment unit though, because mine never had that big chunk that fit over the "trap door." If it got misplaced, it never appeared anywhere else in my toy box.

I've been watching you for years and it was so awesome to see you and pat the nes punk do a video together. You have a great channel and it keeps getting better! Much love from Japan.

I remember playing with mine, so much fun

The best playset ever, I have three of them!

i remember like this was yesterday. i as a kid did not have this . Because my main focus was the hall of justice, ninja turtles, GI Joe and transformers . but i played with this set with my next door neighbor .

My cousin had alllll the RGB toys. Still jealous to this day.

Man this takes me back....

Cool! I never had the firehouse when I was little but I had a bunch of the figures & ghosts. I did however find the firehouse a few years ago at a video game/collectible store for a good price and picked it up. Definitely a cool piece.

That is a Grate slime feature. I have seen the brick side of the firehouse used as a backdrop for spider man toy photos before. Really well produced video Dan, I was not aware of all the gimmicks of this set. Definitely enjoyed it.

I had The Real Ghostbusters Firehouse as a kid.

I remember getting the Ecto 1 on Christmas Eve and the firehouse on Christmas. It was the best Christmas ever. I sorely wish they would re-release the original 4 real ghostbuster figures as I could never get the ones that looked like they did in the show. We must have seen vintage TMNT figures and Heman figures re-released a couple times by now by contrast.

I remember their was a Wolf Man and Frankenstein's Monster sticker on the red doors as well.

One of the ALL-TIME greatest toy lines! The role play stuff alone is the stuff of legend. What toy line had a dedicated arsenal like that? Dan - you should review all the role play stuff at some point!

Awesome playset! Always loved me some playsets when I was a kid, the ones I still have are The Cobra Terror Drome, G1 Fortress Maximus. Great episode of Toysplostion!

I still remember getting this from outlet Mall in Texas unopened in box for around $20 or $30 sometime in the early 90s. I have no idea what happened to it, but I always felt like I was loosing a little slime every time I used it.

I love this !

Very groovy! Wish I had this set as a kid! ...and today too!

I was waiting for the retro line to remake this. That would be great if they did.

I remember having this

Still my favorite playset of all time. I went through 3 as a child lol

In my top 5 want list for the collection 😍 awesome vid!

Man I remember playing with this at my friends house.

One plays at wish I had. Great Vid PD. The nostalgia factor alone of this plays at just oozes when see it. Pun intended.

I absolutely loved this as a kid. The Ectoplasm tended to get stuck and dried in spots though so we only used it once.

I loved this playset, though it really didn’t have the play value of say castle greyskull or a gi joe set. I mean, it’s Ghostbusters! I couldn’t get enough of the toys as a kid. As an adult, the playmobile firehouse is 10x cooler and has more use to it. We even decorate it with Christmas miniature lights and such from wal mart. Great way to get the kids into playing with toys. Now as far as the comment about a re-release like matty did with heman, that would been excellent! Their 6 inch Ghostbusters were everything I wanted as a kid, however to many nit pickers killed that off and they stopped the line. They had planed an ecto 1 with lights and siren for their 6 inch line, but not enough backers. I can only dream that someone makes the firehouse for that scale someday. The diamond select left me with a meh reaction to the sculpts, couldn’t get past the stomach look, and think a firehouse in that scale would be way to costly. But with the new movie coming out, I’m already ready to get a 3rd mortgage on my house for the toys!

I was lucky, I had that Firehouse playset as a kid, as well as the Ecto-1.

So many feels

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! to you, your wife and your son Spencer... I love this video, you made my halloween spirits come true... Have fun trick or treat with your son and your wife as well. Bring back alots of candies

Still have mine, I remember getting it from Toys R Us. I think it came with Ghostbusters branded slime. My parents didn’t let me use because of the mess factor, this video is actually the first time I’ve ever seen it slimed. I have the sign but I lost the pole and platform a long time ago.

Imagine if Super7 could get their hands on this toy line and came with a Ghostbusters Classics just like they did with MOTU...that would be insane 😍😍😍

Awesome

5:09 Those books almost definitely belonged to Ray, since he owned a bookstore in GB2. Egon was not a fan of old fashioned reading material, telling Janine that "print is dead" in the first movie.

Never ended up getting the firehouse or the Ecto-1 even. But had quite a few figures. And still have the first four Ghostbuster figures, Janine, and two little ghosts. Missing two proton packs though. Plan to get some of the figures again. And FINALLY Ecto & the firehouse. Just have had adult priorities happen even more so as of lately. Plus my son has loved 80's & early 90's toys, cartoons etc.. since he was very young. So spent a lot of money buying him toys that I had a s a kid, haha.

Esa línea de jugetes era muy buena gracias por subir buenos recuerdos

Yup I still have mine and I lost the ghost sign. Still love it tho

I used to have that exact play set. Like someone else commented, i lost mine in a fire too. Including my Ecto 1. Although i'm not sure if its my imagination or bad memory, but i'm fairly certain my Ecto was longer than the one in this video.

Where did you find that playset?

Would have loved this!

Excelente video amigo saludos desde Argentina !!!

Cool!

👏👏👏 Well done sir, well done!

I still have mine with the sign and the original slime canister (wasn't allowed to play with the slime). One of the doors is broken :/ I do have to wonder though was the fire house re-released at some point? Mine doesn't have the purple around the windows above the doors.

Ironic as I'm shopping for a replacement to my childhood one as we speak. Great video as usual, man.

My parents never allowed any of the ectoplasm and/or ooze! Frankly I never blamed them even as a kid, for that stuff was a nightmare to clean up!

My whole life, I never thought to use slime on the grates. I missed out on using that feature because I never had slime during the time of when I had that firehouse. I can find it easy in chicago but sellers want an arm and a leg for it.

i had this and over the years i remember it getting crusty from not being able to get all the slime out of the grates. for a 5 year old it wasn't easy, but i guess as a 5 year old I also didn't care about anything but having fun with it. and boy was it fun.

Woooow i remember all this stuff. Had the lot. 🤣🤣 the American Footballer Ghost,, Postman Ghost the lot 🤣

Man, imagining cleaning out all the slime from the grate... you'd need a toothpick or even a regular metal or plastic pick to get all the little holes cleaned out. It can be annoying just picking the teeth of the Slime Pit, that had to take a *while* to clean, huh? W O R T H I T . Though now I see why the Ninja Turtles sewer lair had a much simpler grate.

I like this show

Dan you are a Golden Toy God

Would be huge if Walmart’s next project is the firehouse for my ecto1. Maybe something soon for the new movie?

awsome

Great video Dan... Can’t wait for you to come down to Dallas Vintage Toys

This set was also used in the movie the witches. But they removed the ghostbusters logo

I had this play set!

My grates are forever gunked up with slime

Its neat, but it could've been larger & where are the sleeping quarters?

i still have mine. i need some pieces to complete it. i also always placed the trap and containment unit on the top floor because it that the grates on the floor, like the floor on the cartoon... its one of my most treasured toys in my collection.

My mom just got me the firehouse play set I don’t have the ecto1 but I loved it so much

I had the building back in the late 90s/ early 2000s used it to try to replicate the sinking of the titanic with my camcorder lol

I bet with hasbro's acquiring of the ghostbusters license I bet they re issue a lot of original kenner figures for collectors.

I just need the instruction and a can of slime to complete my firehouse any leads on a can of slime on the low.?

this sent me on a quest to find that shirt which i found from creepy co. that is sharp man.

the thing more love in toy line cheers from Mexico city

i still have mine that sits proudly next to the castle of greyskull

Question for anyone to answer. I recently bought on ebay a used TRGB Firehouse playset. Unfortunately the one I bought the fire pole only spins about halfway down than stops. I saw a video recently from Michael Mercy stating that if you push the platform where you place your figures straight up instead of rotating it up it can damage the fire pole permanently. Is there a way to fix this so the platform can go straight down the pole smoothly without stopping mid way ?

I just realized I'm missing the orange stand for the fire-pole!!!! I thought it was complete!!!!

That commercial is a blatant lie. The pole never worked right unless you had 2 figures for counterweight. LOL!
