Ba ba ba bo! Emil here and I am going to be also posting on Toynoize now and I love action figures! For my first post I wanted to post one of the first action figures I ever got.

The year was 1990 and my family and I were on a trip to London, England and I remember crying and whining to both of my parents to get me this Peter Venkman Screaming Heroes figure with Slimer, since as soon as I saw it at Hamley’s toys (wich was a huge toy store in London), it was love at first sight. I liked that this series had the characters scared of the ghosts and you could have them do funny panic moves when you pushed their arms or what not a certain way! This one you had to attach Slimer to Peter’s chest and wind his arms and he spinned his arms around. I guess this figure being from 1986, by 1990 it was already kind of old, but what did I care? I just knew that I liked it.

I like these toys better than the movie! Great colors on this as well, I always liked the art on the packaging too. On the way back from London, I was playing with this on the plane and I dropped Slimer and he rolled fuck knows where under the seats I remember getting up and asking people if they seen him and someone found him for me, thanks guy!

Just like where I got mine, traceandtrev is also in the UK. $46 seems a bit steep but maybe not since someone else is trying to sell the same one for $100+.
