Remember those cool Slimer statues that Steve Johnson and company produced for Amazon’s Exclusive Slimed edition of the Ghostbusters video game? Well, if you missed out, or if you just wanted the statue and not the other stuff (game, console appliques, keychain Ecto-1), well now you can buy it directly, and on its own, from GBFans.com, along with a wide range of official t-shirts, DST Minimates (including the video game ghosts that were supposed to be part of the Amazon edition originally, but were canceled), um… piggy banks…. knobs… wire… You name it, GBFans has a tonne of stuff.
But speaking specifically about the statue, it’s awesome (looks lovingly at the statue sitting on desk)
It IS awesome. Such a nice piece. Do ya think this version is a little different than the one shipped in game? Seems greener. I almost want to buy one just for the sake of having it “in box”.
And. What a nice dude Steve Johnson is. Talked to him for a while via GBfans. Evidently, the little tirade I went on about how superbly on model this was (coming to its defense from some nay-sayers), caught Steve’s eye and he was very cool about it. Nice guy. And of course, talented.
According to GBFans, the statue comes in a custom “Ecto Containment Unit” box along with an exclusive behind-the-scenes DVD detailing the making of the statue as well as how Slimer was created and performed in the movies.
As nice as the statue is, I really just want the DVD. Unfortunately, it won’t be available by itself. I have no interest in paying $50 for it with the statue, as the statue will end up just sitting in a box.
Still, I will admit that this is MUCH better than the plain box one that came with the game.
