Wave five saw it's release in January 1989. Haunted Humans saw a sequel of sorts in Kenner's Beetlejuice line with Neighborhood Nasties group of four figures in late 1990. Along with Haunted Humans, there was two ghosts released that ended up with two printings with errors. Janine saw a release for the first time as a add on toy to the Fright Line from wave three. Wave four was like wave two released in the late spring 1988.

She was later released in the fourth wave. Initially Fright Feature Janine Melnitz was not released as she wasn't listed on back of card. The first public promotion for the wave didn't happen til mid January of 1988. The third wave was likely first released to fulfill layaway orders in the Christmas season of 1987. A second pressing for the three Action Ghosts was made for the Christmas season on 1987. The Action Ghost assortment (started wave 1) had additions of three ghost action figures. The second wave was released sometime in the spring of 1987. The toy was given the correct item number on the third pressing. The Action Ghost "Green Ghost" incorrectly was printed in the first and second printing with item number #81020. Later in Spring 2020, Hasbro is set to reissue all six of the first wave figures.

The foam pops were also used with the "ECTO Popper & ECTO-Goggles", which uses the same idea and adds temporary storage on the goggles. GhostPopper also shares the name Popper and refers to the ammo as "ghostpops" or "pops". This item as well was in many regards a precursor to the "GhostPopper", which would be able to fire foam pops. The concept was brought to the Real Ghostbusters line with "Finger Pop Fiends", which along with having the same function also share the name "Finger Pops".Īlso in 1979, Kenner released a second toy in the line called "Finger Pops Popper". A similar type of product to Nerf like foam products, it was Kenner's answer to Parker Brothers Nerf line.
