one of the most successful horror/comedy genre related films was Ghostbusters and Slimer, the michievousgreen ghost, was one of its most popular characters. This oozy, squishy blob of ectoplasm must have made quite an impession on sculptor Dan Perez because this release is his second version of Slimer and is based more on the special effects maquette done by Steve Johnson than on the final versions seen in the movie. From the bulbous body to the crooked teeth to the spindly appendages, Dan Perez hasd captured every nuance of the character perfectly. The proportion and detailing are great: Dan did a nice job of adding texture and veining to the skin. Building this kit was a breeze: the castings were clean, and with minimal sanding and priming, this bad boy nwas ready to go. Due to the thin and brittle nature of the arms and hands, I would recommend pinning them to the body for added stability. I always love seeing a true fan/producer's enthusiasm spill over into the production of a kit--you can tell Dan really had his heart in this project; he even gives you three pages of detailed instructions to achieve the perfect Slimer! If you're a fan of the original movie or are just looking for a humorous kit the whole family could enjoy, "who ya gonna call?" Why, Dan Perez Studios, of course!
