On August 3, 2015, in an interview, Erik Burnham revealed he initially had a list of different Ghostbusters dimensions to appear such as one with all women as Ghostbusters (no relation to the Paul Feig directed movie), one with a white Winston and black Peter, Ray and Egon, and one with Steampunk Ghostbusters. Dan Schoening got too busy to design them and decided to use pre-existing designs. <ref>[http://www.warrocketajax.com/2015/08/03/episode-265-bustin-overdose-f-erik-burnham/ War Rocket Ajax Episode 265 47:50-49:48 mark 8/3/15]</ref>

Dan Schoening got too busy to design them and decided to use pre-existing designs. [22]

On October 12, 2015, in an interview recorded during the Cherry Bomb Toy Show on October 4th in Victoria B.C., Dan Schoening revealed some other universe either not allowed or there was no room for included LEGO versions, female versions of the guys, a team that was ghosts (not the Peoplebusters), a team with just Janine Melnitz and Louis Tully, and a team led by Special Agent Melanie Ortiz with some females.
