The Bob's Propshop Ray Stantz replica auction

The auction features a comprehensive replica set crafted by Bob's Propshop , a firm specializing in production-grade recreations. unlike standard retail costumes, this ensemble is constructed from the same materials used in the original films, including resin, metal, and high-quality plastics. according to the report, the set includes a variety of highly detailed props such as a proton pack with a bulb-like core, a Neutrino Wand, a Ghost Trap with a functional magnetic latch , a foot pedal, and even a Casio calculator wristwatch.

The attention to detail extends to the Ray Stantz jumpsuit itself. The garment is made from a light-tan fabric with a durable cotton-blend lining and features an embroidered logo using metallic thread for a subtle shimmer. The set is further bolstered by a wide array of accessories, including a Motorola radio, elbow pads, gloves, leather boots, a Ghost Trap holster, and a belt-mounted Gizmo with looped rubber wires. Because these items were sourced directly from the original Ghostbusters production warehouse, they maintain the same functional switches, lights, and sound design—including the characteristic whine of the proton pack—found on the original movie sets.

Netflix’s 2027 rollout of Ghostbusters: Night Shift

The franchise is leveraging its massive nostalgia equity to transition into the animation space with Ghostbusters: Night Shift. This upcoming series, set for a 2027 release on Netflix, will serve as the first fully animated prooject that is officially canon to the existing movie timeline. The production features a heavy-hitting creative team, including Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, and Amie Karp.

This move toward high-fidelity animation represents a broader trend in the entertainment industry, where legacy brands use streaming platforms to refresh their lore for younger generations. By integrating the creative energy of modern creators—including talent associated with the Cataclysm film like Mike Flanagan—with the established mythology of the 1980s, the franchise aims to maintain its cultural footprint. as the report notes, this approach allows the brand to explore new storylines and visual styles while ensuring the action and supernatural intrigue remain consistent with the original films.

The uncertainty surrounding Bill Murray’s return

While the production team is well-established, the involvement of the original film's cast remains a subject of intense speculation. Dan Aykroyd serves as an executive producer, which provides a strong link to the original lore. However, several key questions remain regarding the rest of the ensemble.

While rumors suggest that Ernie Hudson and Bill Murray may reprise their roles through voice work, no formal announcement has been made to confirm their participation. Specifically, the source highlights the uncertainty surrounding Bill Murray, noting his reported reluctance to return to the franchise. Whether the original cast will provide the voices necessary to anchor this new canon remains one of the most significant unanswered questions for fans awaiting the 2027 debut.
