You can't have Real Ghostbuster Toys without slime. They just go together. Hell, these toys were MADE for each other. Enter the line of Gooper Ghosts. There's plenty of fun to have by shoving one of your Ghostbusters into the maw of one of these plastic abominations and watching them slobber all over them. There was a Banshee Bomber, Bubbler, and Squisher Ghost. I was lucky enough to own the Squisher Ghost, as you can see.Essentially "Squisher" is mounted on a plug which is vaguely...indecent in it's appearance. Sliding a good amount of sludge inside the loading tube and jam the upper torso down on the plunger to pump the slime out the nostrils and roof of the mouth.
The actual sliming mechanic left much to be desired, but some of the details were especially interesting. Note the detail on the tongue. The lever on the back allowed it to roll up and down ridgidly as your figure wallowed about in snot and drool.
The toy itself stands pretty tall.For this exhibit, we'll be using Raven from Teen Titans, because she hates it.

I remember getting on of these as a birthday gift when I was young, great stuff but drove my mother insane.
ReplyDeleteStrange that even back then, I only slimed stuff like the Pink Ranger and Spider-Girl...Never any of the guy figures...=P
