Ghostbusters The Video Game (Slimer Edition)

Steve Johnson sculpted the original Slimer for the 1984 film, and then he sculpted one for your shelf. The Ghostbusters: The Video Game Slimer Edition on Xbox 360 is anchored by an exclusive Slimer bust designed and created by Johnson himself, complete with a signed certificate of authenticity. That's a direct line from Hollywood practical effects history to your display case.

The package also includes exclusive Ghostbusters Minimates figures available only in this edition, Gamer Graffix console skins, and an Ecto-1 keychain with working lights and sound. The game itself was essentially Ghostbusters 3, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis with the entire original cast returning for voice work. It's the sequel we never got on film, and owning it in this particular edition connects the gaming experience to the franchise's practical effects legacy through Johnson's sculptwork.

The signed certificate of authenticity elevates the Slimer bust from a cool pack-in to a genuine collectible with provenance. The Minimates being exclusive to this edition means they've never been available through any other channel, making them increasingly difficult to track down loose, let alone in the complete package. For Ghostbusters collectors who also happen to collect games, or game collectors who also happen to love Ghostbusters, the Slimer Edition sits at a crossroads that doesn't come along often.
