Ghostbusters set

There will be no "WheresRey" problems with Sony's Ghostbusters reboot. Following the reveal of new action figures based on the new female-driven squad, LEGO has just revealed its new set based on the Paul Feig-directed film. The news comes from Entertainment Weekly and it is chock full of pictures that you can check in the next couple of slides.

The set, which is available to purchase on July 1, features the ECTO-1 car, the ECTO-2 bike, and five main mini figures: Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy), Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig), Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones), and Kevin (Chris Hemsworth). It will retail for $59.99.

In related Ghostbuster news, Sony is planning a whole wave of merchandise to launch alongside the upcoming film, including a "full-fledged" video game, according to Retail Merchandiser. Activision is reportedly developing the game for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

It's worth noting that the report doesn't specifically state the game will focus on the new female cast of Ghostbusters, but considering the merchandise push comes alongside the reboot, I don't see why it wouldn't be related. The report does confirm that the game is not part of the toys-to-life game LEGO Dimensions, which recently had a playset based on the original cast release.

Also make sure to check out some new official cast photos, including the well-dressed secretary Chris Hemsworth (gender-swapping the role made famous by Annie Potts in the original).

The new Ghostbusters is scheduled to hit theaters on July 15, 2016.
