This review is from: Ghostbusters 7" Action Figure: Slimer (Toy)

This is the only figure I bought in the Ghostbusters line, but from the looks of it this seems to be the best one. The sculpting on Slimer is very detailed, especially the "fat rolls" all over his body. His tongue and teeth are well textured, but there's a mold line running across his bottom teeth. I just now noticed it after owning the figure for quite a while, so it's not a huge deal.

The paint on the figure is well done. Even Slimer's nails look perfectly painted. His eyes are spot on as well, which is one of the most important things to me in a figure. Though he has beady eyes, so I would have been very surprised if they messed that up. The only thing wrong with the paint job has to do with the glow in the dark feature. They forgot to put glow in the dark paint on one of his arms (though not the hand), which is pretty annoying. I'm sure this isn't the case with all of the Slimer figures though. Watch out for non-shiny parts on Slimer if you can, because they're lacking the glow paint Though the glowing feature doesn't work extremely well anyway. It takes a lot of light to power Slimer up.

Slimer comes with a lot of food items and a really inventive slime stand. It appear as if he's coming out of the ground. Or table, or whatever you have him on. My favorite two accessories are the turkey and the bottle of wine. The legs come off of the turkey so Slimer can hold them. Unfortunately the label on my wine bottle isn't staying on too well, though I imagine glue would fix it. The rest of his food are all nicely sculpted as well.

I would definitely recommend Slimer to anyone who liked Ghostbusters.

I purchased this for my boyfriend for his birthday. He grew up with Ghost Busters and he was upset that the video game was pushed back. He only has the best figures you can find. This quality is great and sits well with his figure collection. Very durable and great detail. Not recommend for small children due to the small parts. ENJOY!!!

This review is from: Ghostbusters 7" Action Figure: Slimer (Toy)

NECA have done a great job with their recreation of Slimer. The only downside is the packaging however this is a problem with all of NECA's action figures. The packaging does look spectacular and Slimer displays a lot better if left inside it than do most other horror figures (see my customer images for photos of him in the packaging). However the downside of the packaging as with most NECA figures is that you can't get Slimer out without totally destroying it.

In fact I have chosen to keep mine in the packaging as he's a ghost who floats in the air in real life (well movie life) so I think he displays just as well inside the packaging. Plus all the accessories (turkey, pie, apple, bottle of wine, French stick, watermelon, ham roll on plate and trail of slime) are also clearly displayed. Plus you have the even larger movie image of Slimer and the Ghostbusters logo in words down the left side which enhances the display. Plus the little sticker with his name and movie photo (he looks so happy in the photo) in green dripping slime letters adds to his display even further.

I really think NECA should work on the design of their packaging so you can get their figures out and play with them, display them outside the packaging and then put them back inside if you want to put on display inside the packaging. If this is the sort of thing you want to do you'll probably want to buy most of your horror action figures under the Sideshow brand. As far as I know though Sideshow don't have a Slimer.

Slimer also glows in the dark however he does not do this if remaining inside the package. The actual figure itself is well detailed and painted with his rolls of slime fat looking quite realistic. His teeth, tongue and entire mouth look absolutely sensational. Plus, his trail of slime stand works extremely well, and doesn't come across as a noticeable stand, like happens with a lot of other creatures/characters. The accessories also are well detailed and look very realistic (for miniature versions).

The back of the packaging (see my customer images) is also quite well done. It outlines the other NECA series 1 Ghostbusters figures (ie Stay Puft, Gozer, Zuul and Vinz Clortho (Terror dogs) from the movie). Incidentally these are all pretty hard to come across so if you do, and want one I wouldn't waste much time as they'll be quickly snapped up by whoever's selling them. Also on the back panel of the packaging are a few short paragraphs about Slimer's haunting action at the Sedgewick Hotel.

The packaging if remained intact is very sturdy and likely to keep Slimer protected for a very long time. Since the packaging is completely sealed in plastic you can even get it wet if you want to wash the old dust off. Other than allowing the owner to be able to open the packet the other area of let down is the ties. They are all silver metal so you can see where Slimer (and the stand) are tied down.

This Slimer figure is sensational! Even though he has to live in his packaging, out of all the horror figures I own he is easily my favourite. I just hope in the future NECA or someone brings out the Library Lady ghost figure (maybe it could have a detachable head where you could switch between human old lady look and scary skull with sticking out hair).

Slimer is sensational though, let him haunt your house now!
