New line of Stay Puft Marshmallows released.

Categories: MERCH

Published on: May 5, 2012

I hope you got your caffeinated Stay-Puft Marshmallows, the ones produced by Omni Consumer Products, as it looks like they aren’t being produced any more, and a new line of marshmallow treats have been released this month.

The Parallax Corporation sent a brief email with a link to the website for the collectors box of mini-marshmallows they are producing in conjunction with Sony. In short, each box is about 142g of mini-marshmallows, about 45 mini-pufts, and features a double sided-collectors box (meaning, like the last set, you’ll want to keep them) with happy Stay-Puft on one side and angry Stay-Puft on the other (both set pieces of art from the Sony style guide.)

You can buy a box through ThinkGeek (as before) for the price of $7.99 plus shipping (which seems a lot, but it was 20 bucks plus shipping for 177g of the last kind, so they’re a much better deal, particularly if the box is half-way decent) – speaking of which, ThinkGeek no longer has a listing for the OCP caffeinated marshmallows, which is why we suspect they are no longer producing them (that and the fact that another company seems to have the license now), so if you missed out, you’ll have to look to independent sellers through Amazon or Ebay. Lucky for us, Stay-Puft Marshmallows in general aren’t gone, as we have these new ones to buy (and unlike the previous, square ones, these marshmallows are in the traditional mallowy shape.)

One last thing – unlike the last marshmallows, ThinkGeek has a notice that the new Stay-Pufts can’t be shipped outside the US! Booo! So, if you’re in Canada, Mexico, the UK or Europe and beyond, you’d better find an American friend.

Facebook launched YEAH yesterday, essentially a per-month fee streaming service, like Netflix, you can watch a handful of movies in Facebook. So what? You may well ask; well, the main hook is that YEAH has a second screen for additional info, sort of like the trivia track on the DVD, only allowing for more words. Whether this is worth five bucks is up for grabs, but it’s intriguing. You can read IGN’s review of the feature here.

You can try YEAH for free with the film Halloween.

Ernie Hudson hospitalized (don’t panic) – Free Comic Book Day appearance cancelled

Ernie Hudson was due to appear at this Saturday’s Free Comic Book Day event in Hilliard, Ohio, but has been admitted to hospital for emergency surgery. Before everyone panics, the report is that it’s to deal with an abscess in his hip. Abscesses are pockets of infection, and while something that has to be taken very serious, lest it lead to all manner of problems, like blood poisoning, the treatment of them isn’t usually something to panic about. So, for now, everyone send happy thoughts and best wishes Ernie’s way.

Stumbled into this one quite by accident. Kind of The Strokes-esque. Mixed with The Snitches (ah, The BCASA are from Montreal. That would explain it then.) I dig it at any rate. You can get it thru Amazon, iTunes, and Legal Sounds. There are some mofos in there, so don’t play this around the kids… or grandma.

Paul Harborne – and lord only knows how – managed to catch the attention of pretty much the entire scope of UK news media, making him the overwhelming Ghostbusters news today, according to Google. His Ecto-1 replica, while not movie exact, is beautiful, and given the scarcity of caddy ambulances in the UK, a minor miracle. Plus, as he’s going to hire it out for kids parties, that’s going to be a lot of happy kids. Nice work, Paul!

Published on: May 1, 2012

HalloweenCostumes.com, purveyors of all manner of Halloween stuffs, listed a couple of new items a couple of months back – an inflatable Slimer lawn decoration (similar to its Stay-puft cousin that came out last year) and a neat Slimer decorative light (he floats around the room!) Details were sparse at the time, but HC has sent us some particulars!

Click the thumbnail images to see the full-sized pics!

Ghostbusters Floating Slimer decoration: Eyes light up, glows in the dark, floats on cord and plays movie music. Price: $42.99.

Ghostbusters Slimer Inflatable decoration: 6 ft tall, approx 3 ft for arm span. Includes fan, strings and stakes. Plugs in. Price: $128.99.

Both items are currently making their way to HC.com and are expected to be in stock August 3rd (lots of time to get one or both for Halloween!), though that may shift slightly, depending on the usual unforeseen circumstances that can happen.

Hallmark’s “Marshmallow Menace” Stay-Puft popping up, but not due until July.

Hallmark’s online store has their upcoming Stay-Puft “Marshmallow Menace” ornament listed online, with a retail price of $17.95 (more details below), but says you can’t buy until July. This would make sense, as July 14th-15th is Hallmark’s Ornament Premier Weekend. However! That doesn’t mean they haven’t started making their way into stores. Ryan, who we all know to be a Hallmark expert, sent some sweet pics of a display Stay-puft over to GBNews.com.

You can check in with your local Hallmark store or order direct from Hallmark starting mid-July.

Actor Tyrese “Transformers” Gibson was at CinemaCon as a mentor to new filmmakers and talked about about his early exposure to the world of cinema;

Oddly enough, Gibson’s first cinema memory came not in a cinema but at home, on videotape. “I don’t remember going to the theatre,” he said at the theatre operators’ closing-night gala. But he noted his first favourites on VHS were Back to the Future (1985) and Ghostbusters (1984). “These were, somehow, the only two VHS tapes that we had in our house. So, I must have seen Back to the Future over 150 times. We knew all the words to both the movies.”
