For those who weren't aware, I did cancel the Halloween Countdown mainly due to lack of time. We'll try again on a smaller scale next year.
But see, the thing about it is, Ghostbusters fits the Halloween theme any time, any day, so it doesn't necessarily need to be part of a special month-long countdown.
Regardless, I was able to score a Neca Stay Puft Head Knocker tonight.
Let's talk about that, it's more fun anyways.
The box, while very neat, bugs me just slightly. On one panel on the back, there is a shot of Stay Puft walking along and we see 2 screens. One has a photo of a Terror Dog. Good enough, right? The other has a photo of Louis Tully, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't a photo from GB2.
Yeah, I'm picky.
Sadly, this is the only piece I own from the Neca line.
When they were released, it seems like any store in town that could possibly carry them, didn't.
Don't think that I don't regret it all these years later, especially since most of that line has skyrocketed in price over recent years.
This thing is IMPRESSIVE to say the very least.
Standing about 7 inches tall (I may be a little off, oh well) it weighs at least 900 pounds. No idea how heavy he really is, but even just heavy is a gross understatement.
The moment I set him upright, he wouldn't stop wobbling. It's like an obese marshmallow man suddenly got the urge to do the Harlem Shake. It was a sight to see for sure.
Stay Puft is pretty highly detailed, from his angry face to the cloth ribbon on top of his sailor hat.
Neca wasn't messing around when they turned Mr. Stay Puft into a bobblehead.
To add even further to his detail, and overall amazing appearance, Neca included some crushed vehicles and road at the base on the toy.
While safe to say it's not the rarest collectible in the Ghostbusters universe, it is pretty damn cool. If you ever have your chance to get your hands on one, no matter what, buy it, display it, and love it.
