Hasbro Ghostbusters Squash & Squeeze Slimer

One of Hasbro's latest Ghostbusters offerings is the Ghostbusters Squash & Squeeze Slimer. Read on to find out more about it...

The official description for this product is:

GHOSTBUSTERS SQUASH & SQUEEZE SLIMER
(Ages 4 and Up / Approx. Retail Price: $29.99 / Available: Now)
Slimer, the mischievous green ghost from the Ghostbusters entertainment is back to haunt collections! This 7-inch Ghostbusters Squash & Squeeze Slimer interactive toy ghost features over 40 spooky sounds to discover with a jiggly, squishy texture that feels icky yet awesome to the touch. Fly, shake, or swing Slimer as he reacts with motion sounds. Press his tongue to hear munching sound effects, ghostly and ghastly burps and more.

The back of the box illustrates some of Slimer's gross Tex Avery-like abilities.


The ugly little spud is indeed that... ugly! He doesn't need an alibi because we all know where he's been hiding. (In the firehouse attic, if you've seen the latest trailer.) For a while now, most of the depictions of Slimer have been cute. This is an instance where he is designed to be the opposite of that, hearkening back to his original 1984 design. He has rolls of fat and a big butt, as well as articulation at the elbow and shoulder joints.


This isn't just a static un-action figure. Oh, no. Slimer is interactive! As the product name implies, you can squash, squeeze, and shake Slimer. You can even press his tongue to hear some of the over 40 sound effects. Let's take a listen to his tongue sounds.


The Ghostbusters Squash & Squeeze Slimer carries a MSRP of $29.99 and is available from a wide variety of retailers. The links provided here are for Amazon, from which Spook Central will earn a small commission.
