I Want That: NECA’s Ghostbusters Life-Size Slimer

Ever dream of having your very own focused, non-terminal repeating phantasm or a class 5 full roaming vapor… or, to the layperson, Slimer of GHOSTBUSTERS fame? Well, toy company NECA has answered the call and is giving you the oppurtunity to have and keep a life-size replica of the nasty little spud famous for sliming Bill Murray's Dr. Peter Venkman in the 1984 classic.

Set for release in August, the three-foot tall foam replica of Slimer can be yours for the taking, having been re-created from original movie molds from Ivan Reitman's film. The replica figure is made of foam rubber and latex and has been hand-painted to give it as much realistic detail as possible.

Now who wants one?

That may seem awfully steep, but come on… It is 36 inches high and, given that it cost the Sedgewick Hotel $5000 for catching and storing this disgusting blob the first time around with proton charging included, 700 bucks doesn't sound like a bad deal for the right to give him a loving home.
