Unreleased Garret Miller Deluxe Figure by Trendmasters

The one thing that ruined the Trendmasters Extreme Ghostbusters Toyline, for me, wasn’t the alternate color-scheme or even the Terrible sculpts, it was the fact that they chose not to make Garret. Garret is the Wheelchair using high-adrenaline 4th member of the XGB, and an active action oriented main character on the show, there’s no reason for him to excluded from the line. This is the prototype of the figure that was to be released, but apparently Trendmasters’ CEO Russell Hornsby, “did not like how it turned out, actually he hated it and considered the light purple color of the wheelchair to be too much on the feminine side” which is not only a gross thing to say, but a bullshit excuse as these are production test colors and are in no way the finished product. One final thing, I find it very interesting that this Garret bears a striking resemblance to concept art of Lucy, the character that actually became Garret in pre-production.

Ten years after clearing out every malcontent ghost and goblin in New York City, the Ghostbusters have disbanded. The ECTO-1 is gathering dust , the old Firehouse headquarters is quiet, and all the guys have left town -- except Egon, now huddled in front of a computer screen, battling program bugs instead of spooks. But now after a decade of quiet, the supernatural is rearing its ugly ectoplasmic head again, and Manhattan is overrun with ghosts bent on mayhem and malevolent fun. New York needs the Ghostbusters. But the Ghostbusters are gone...or are they. It's up to the Ghostbusters' plucky secretary Janine -- now teaching history at a local college -- to recruit a new team to fill the Ghostbusters' Ecto-Visors and Slime-Repellent Boots. Short on time and more than a little desperate, Janine turns to four of her teenaged students: Kylie, a girl genius with a head full of incantations and occult knowledge; Eduardo, a hip, cynical slacker with a dream of running in the Olympics and a serious crush on Kylie; Lucas, a wheelchair-bound young athlete with a hair-trigger temper; and Roland, a clumsy but good-hearted "gentle-giant" who's a whiz with machinery. Along with the Ghostbusters' old pal Slimer and a mischievous new goblin called Gnat, Janine and the kids set up shop in the firehouse, where they arm themselves with PKE meters, nuclear powered Proton Pack blasters, and everything else they'll need (refurbished with the help of Egon) to treat a new generation of ghosts to a Proton Pack roast! The Ghostbusters are back, with the latest technology and a hip new attitude. But the latest crop of phantoms, ghouls, and boogiemen is tougher than ever, so our heros have to be, too! Extreme ghosts call for...

Extreme Ghostbusters!
