Life-Size Ghostbusters Slimer Foam Replicas: It’s Right Here, Ray

Posted on by

Created from the same molds as the prop for the original 1984 Ghostbusters movie, this is the life-size foam rubber and latex Slimer replica from NECA (the National Entertainment Collectibles Association – an awfully official-sounding name for a collectibles manufacturer). Obviously, he will be the focal point of all my Halloween decorations this year, and every year from now on.

Standing 3-feet tall, each Slimer is hand-painted and weighs approximately 34-pounds, which, I think we can all agree, sounds suspiciously heavy for a ghost. And he costs $550 from Entertainment Earth and $600 from the Big Bad Toy Store, which sounds suspiciously expensive for a ghost. Just buy an old house and you can get a whole bunch for free.

Do you know what would be even cooler than a replica of Slimer from the original Ghostbusters? A replica of the librarian ghost from the very beginning of the movie. And by cooler, I meant more terrifying. You know she’s the reason when I wake up in the middle of the night and have to go to the bathroom I convince myself to just hold it until morning instead.

Ghostbuster Slimer and Terror Dog Mugs: Who You Gonna Drink From?

Posted on by

You’ve just spent a long day busting ghosts; what do you want when you get back to your firehouse base? Exactly, a nice cold drink out of a mug that reminds you of the day you just spent ghostbusting. And Middle of Beyond has just the vessels you’re looking for with these 24-ounce Slimer and Terror Dog ceramic drinking mugs. I can already feel Egon patting me on the back for a job well done, then taking it all back after he realizes I accidentally freed all the ghosts from the Containment Unit.

The Slimer mug is available in three different finishes (classic, $35; ectoplasm, $40; and ugly spud, $45), and Terror Dog is available in four (Gatekeeper Gray, $40; Keymaster Black, $45; Bronze, $45; and marshmallow, $50). Which is your favorite? I’m particularly fond of the ectoplasm Slimer and bronze Terror Dog, and I hope this serves as a pleasant reminder when my friends are shopping for birthday gifts.

Remember how scary the ghost in the library scene was at the beginning of Ghostbusters when you were a kid? It gave me nightmares. You know how the Ghostbusters theme song goes, ‘I ain’t afraid of no ghosts’? Well, that’s not true; I’m terrified of them: ghosts and my wife whenever she finds out what I bought on eBay behind her back.

Ghostbusters Floating Slimer: Ghost Rider

Posted on by

If this Ghostbusters Floating Slimer doesn’t put a smile on your face there’s something wrong with you. It’s a simple enough toy. It just floats back and forth along a 15′ cord and plays the Ghostbusters theme song. Something about it just makes me happy. Bustin’ makes me feel good, but it’s more than that. I guess because it reminds me of the old movies.

The 10″ tall Slimer’s eyes also light up and of course it glows in the dark. It won’t slime you, which is a big bonus. And your food will be safe from this little guy too. He is there solely to entertain you and your guests or trick or treaters.

He takes 3 AA batteries and costs $59.99(USD) from ThinkGeek. This one is a must for Ghostbusters fans. You have to love Slimer.

I’ve been slimed! Oh yeah? Then we need to beat the ever-loving hell out of that mucus-green ghoul and send him back to Mucinex land. Start smashing it with your proton streams! If any spectral candy falls out, I call dibs!

Etsy seller PiñataVille (Wasted away again in Piñataville. Now I have that song stuck in my head) offers a lot of pinatas, but this Ghostbusters Slimer piñata is the cutest. But is the candy inside covered with green slime? Because that would be a really cool bonus. I guess that would be up to the buyer.

ghostbusters helicopters Ghostbusters Helicopters are Coming!
We were going to post this anyway today but on the news of the death of Harold Ramis, it seems appropriate. At the Toy Fair we got a sneak peak of this cool new Ghostbuster toy that is coming out next Fall from World Tech Toys.

It’s Ghostbuster mini r/c helicopters! What you see in the photo is still in the prototype stages- the final paint scheme is not even approved yet (you can see Slimer’s colors in the smaller model). There will be one chopper for each of the Ghostbusters (coincidentally the only figure they had on display was Ramis’ character Egon), as well as Slimer, the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and even the Ecto-1 car! Each figure has a little helicopter blade atop their head and is remote controlled. RIP Harold Ramis.
