Peter Venkman: I didn't choose anything. [All three slowly turn to look at Ray]
Ray Stantz: I couldn't help it. It just popped in there.
Peter Venkman: [sternly] What? What "just popped in there?"
Ray Stantz: I- I- I tried to think...
Egon Spengler: Look! [They all look over one side of the roof]
Ray Stantz: No! It can't be!
Peter Venkman: What is it?
Ray Stantz: It can't be!
Peter Venkman: What did you do, Ray?!
Winston Zeddemore: Oh, shit! [They all see a giant cubic white head topped with a sailor hat]
Ray Stantz: [sighs, resigned] It's the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
"This is a fan made wall-hanging Slimer prop.
I made one kind of like this for the MIAMI 305 GHOSTBUSTERS, but this one is made to hang on your wall. He is made of laytex ,with resin teeth,and stuffed with cotton to keep him light. He is mounted on a 12inchX 13inch wood plack painted to look like red brick, with a rod so that he looks like he is floating. he is a full prop (360) the only hole is the one the rod goes in to hold him up.He has 40lbs picture wire on the base so he is ready to hang.
Slimer is airbrushed with latex paint along with glow in the dark paint then covered in a flex gloss top coat. He will glow in the dark and in black light!
From the wood base to Slimer's fingers is 21inches long, Slimer himself is 17 1/2 inches long. He is also 17 inches wide, and 15 1/2 inches tall ( head to belly) over all he is a big prop."
