AJ at GBFans.com spotted blog coverage of a Q&A with Randy Falk and co. at NECA – during the questions it was revealed that they are apparently planning on a translucent Slimer in time for the release of the Ghostbusters video game (no word on whether this is a new sculpt or a translucent cast of their original Slimer figure) – they are also looking to the rights for the likeness rights to the Ghostbusters themselves, though they have been seeking these all along, and with the in-game Ghostbusters looking so much like the real actors, it hard to say if it will be any easier to obtain those rights (particularly from the particularly particular Bill Murray.) Also, nobody thought to ask if they’d be making figures based on other notables from the game (like any of the new monsters or the new incarnation of Gozer.)
Regardless, I guess we can scratch this off the “big announcement” list for the San Diego Comic Con (before it even made it on the list.) Stay tuned.

Ya know this is cool to hear, but if I had to guess,I would say they’d just cast the mold in the translucent green a la the ‘invisible’ predator from McFarlane.
I´d buy it.
Ugh- am I the only one that hates the variant figures? “Ghost” of Obi-Wan? “Cloaked” Predator? “Translucent” Slimer? Basically it just equates to the company saving a few bucks by being able to use an old mold and not having to pay for a paint application…
I’ll pass on this. C’mon Randy, get those lawyers in gear and get some likeness releases signed so you can start cranking out the four figures EVERYONE (not just Ghostheads) will buy…
I agree here too…though at the same time, we have Murray lending his voice and face for the GAME… could it be stretched to finally have toys? I dunno. Could be looking a gift horse in the mouth.
