Ghostbusters: Slimer Bank

 (8 customer reviews)

Out of nowhere, my daughter got into Ghostbusters. She had never seen the movies or the cartoon, but somehow, she knew what they were based on the logo. Even more strange, she thinks that Slimer is just the cutest thing right now, so we got her this bank. She got super excited immediately upon seeing it. Yeah, it's more for the 'adult collector', but this is a great bank/toy for all ages. I'm just jealous that I didn't have one when I was little!

Slimer is made of a good, soft vinyl that won't crack or break if it falls from a shelf or anything. The sculpt is fantastic, and anyone who's seen Ghostbusters even once will recognize who this is. NECA did a great job with the paint too, which based on my experience buying figures by them, is rare. They didn't go nuts with paint, so no detail is spared.

Ok. So far all the reviews of this Slimer bank have been written by people who claim that they bought this bank for a four year old...Are you people that afraid of being labeled a nerd? Who is going to know or care anyway? You bought the Slimer bank for your adult self and you love it!
This is a great bank and the sculpt is spot on. Anyone who grew up with the Ghostbusters will enjoy this piece. It is sturdy and well built. The paint does not chip off unless you beat or chew the thing like a four year old. If you are between the ages of twenty four and thirty four, are a big Ghostbusters fan, or a fan of 80's films and pop culture, then this is for you! If you are four you probably can't read this and you have never heard of Slimer or the Ghostbusters anyway. Try driveway chalk or playdough---it's a lot cheaper and you can actually play with it.

I purchased this for a 4 year old and he has loved it. The paint does tend to come off with rough play, but I expected this since it is more of a collectible. He looks great and identical to the slimer in the film.
