Diamond Select Toys Ghostbusters Slimer Bank Review.
We reviewed the Stay Puft Bank from DST last summer, and that thing was a beauty. A great scale next to the Minimates too! And of course DST graced us fans with a con variant featuring angry Stay Puft. The latest bank to come out of the DST camp is Slimer. He could be seen on shelves at Toys R’ Us over Xmas (though he quickly sold out at my local stores) and of course, online.
I tend to let images do the talking with toys.  I’m a very positive fan, I’m not looking to complain, I’m hoping to be satisfied. That being said, Slimer is a work of art. It is the single best sculpt of Slimer to be released EVER.  This bank serves as a fantastic replica of the movie Slimer and really does the spud justice. The scale is very large (see the scale pic below) and the detail is phenominal. You can basically buy a high-quality Ghostbusters movie statue/bust for less than $20! Thanks DST (and give us some terror dog banks!)

It looks more like the slimer from GB2… I bought the stay-puft bank, but I’m gonna have to pass on the slimer bank. It just seems a bit off.

The best ever? Seems like a major stretch, the slimer statue that came with the slimer edition of the video game is by far the best likeness fans have ever been treated too.

I like the sculpt but would have to agree that it doesn’t look like the GB1 ghost.
