It said "Sold Out" last time I looked at it (when I responded to your other post). Apparently, Mattel has decided not to do another run of them for the website.

A simple no would have been far more direct, but I think the answer is rather obvious all the same.

One, Harold Ramis is a lot more than just Egon Spengler. He was a brilliant actor, writer and director. But Mattel only has the rights to that one character of his. So any Ghostbusters-themed items to honor his passing wouldn't be enough, IMHO. Also, doing a real-life version of him using the existing head-sculpt would require obtaining the rights/approval from his estate. Is that the kind of conversation you really want to have right after losing a loved one? "Hey, can we make a toy of your dead [Dad/Grandpa/Uncle]?"

Two, his passing was unexpected. Toy companies can't just slap something together at the drop of a hat, even when it comes to reissues.
