‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Action Figures Confirm Another Member of the Next Generation

Hot on the heels of this morning’s new trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Hasbro has revealed the first wave of action figures featuring the next generation of paranormal exterminators from the anticipated sequel. We’ve already met Egon Spengler’s grandkids, Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Mckenna Grace), and we’ve gotten a glimpse of newcomer Logan Kim as a new friend nicknamed “Podcast” who helps them out. But there’s a fourth member of the team who has officially been revealed in toy form. It’s a character we’ve only seen briefly in the trailers…and it’s not Muncher.

Ghostbusters: Afterlife Action Figures

Hasbro Pulse unveiled the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife action figures this morning on Instagram after the new trailer debuted. Alongside Trevor, Phoebe, and Podcast, you can see the character Lucky, a teen girl played by Celeste O’Connor. We’ve seen her hanging out with Trevor when his family moves into town. In fact, a photo released back in June revealed that she works at the roller hop drive-in diner Spinners, where Trevor tries to apply for a job.

The addition of Lucky to the Ghostbusters team feels like it echoes the original Ghostbusters, which added Winston Zeddemore to the crew after Egon, Ray, and Venkman were already running themselves ragged trying to keep up with the paranormal activity in New York. Lucky hanging around with Trevor clearly gets her caught up in the adventure, and hopefully we’ll learn more about her as the release of the movie gets closer.

Jason Reitman directed and co-wrote the script with Gil Kenan while his father, original Ghostbusters director Ivan Reitman, is producing.
