The Speelboom in the late 80's was a chain of toy stores in Holland (a region in the Netherlands) that sold Kenner's The Real Ghostbusters Toy Line. During that period of 1988, 1989, and likely 1990, the purchase of a The Real Ghostbusters toy would then yield a pin. There were four known pins made based on The Real Ghostbusters toy line, repurposing Kenner illustrations.
List[]
- The Real Ghostbusters Logo
- Slimer with pizza
- Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

Trivia[]
