The official description for this product is:

GHOSTBUSTERS PLASMA SERIES GHOSTBUSTERS AFTERLIFE FIGURES
(Ages 4 and Up / Approx. Retail Price: $24.99/ Available: Fall 2021)
The premium, collectible Ghostbusters figures that fans love is back in time for the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife film with the first wave of the GHOSTBUSTERS Plasma Series Afterlife Figures from Hasbro! Inspired by the latest film coming to theaters in November 2021, this highly poseable collection of action figures features premium design, detailing, and articulation that embody the quality and realism Ghostbusters fans expect with Hasbro's Plasma Series. Each 6-inch scale action figure comes with film-inspired accessories, including new 'Build-A-Ghost' pieces for select figures that form a Sentinel Terror Dog figure.

The GHOSTBUSTERS Plasma Series Afterlife Figures features characters from the 2021 film, including Trevor, Lucky, Podcast, Peter, Winston, and Ray, along with the Sentinel Terror Dog build-a-ghost pieces.

The six figures are presented in the standard Plasma Series khaki/uniform packaging, although the nametag area is darker and given a worn and aged appearance, which thematically fits with the new movie. Each figure has multiple points of articulation, is sculpted wearing a jumpsuit/uniform, and comes with a few different accessories. The three adults are approx. 6" tall, Trevor is approx. 5.5" tall, and Podcast is approx. 5" tall. They are all scaled in height to each other appropriately. Let's take a quick look at each one.

In the interest of full disclosure, I need to state that Hasbro only provided me with 5 of the 6 figures. Lucky was missing from the package. All information about her below is based on the stock photos Hasbro provided to me.
