NECA Re-releasing Their ‘Ghostbusters’ Slimer and Stay Puft Head Knockers

Published

on

Several years back, NECA showed their love for Ghostbusters with “Head Knockers” toys of Slimer and Stay Puft, which they have long since stopped producing. Of course, you can grab them over on eBay, but you’ll be paying much more than the original retail price. And hold that thought anyway, because NECA is soon re-releasing both!

The company announced that both Head Knockers re-arrive in September.

SLIMER:

“Everyone’s favorite non-terminal repeating phantasm is cast in resin and then hand painted for incredible detail, down to the themed base. Approximately 7″ tall with bobbling head – a great item for fans young and old!”

STAY PUFT:

“The monstrous mascot is cast in resin and then hand painted for incredible detail. This great rendition has Stay Puft standing with crushed police cars underneath his feet. Over 7″ tall with bobbling head – a great item for fans young and old!”

Alice Cooper Joins the “Music Maniacs” Line from McFarlane Toys

When you hear the label “Music Maniacs,” a few names probably come to mind. And we’re willing to bet that one of them is Alice Cooper, who is indeed joining McFarlane’s toy line.

McFarlane Toys has announced that their Music Maniacs: Alice Cooper action figure will launch for pre-orders on March 22, and you can get a first look at the upcoming toy below.

The “Music Maniacs” line is a spinoff of McFarlane’s popular “Movie Maniacs” line, which returned to life last year – though the focus is no longer squarely on horror movies.

Alice Cooper is most definitely a Music Maniac but he’s also a Movie Maniac too. As Luiz H.C. wrote on Bloody Disgusting back in 2017, “Cooper’s love of the horror genre goes far beyond his music, as the artist has been involved with several scary movies as well. From John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness to Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, it’s easy to see why the rocker is so iconic in the world of blood, guts, and ghosts. Hell, even Tim Burton’s charming yet lackluster Dark Shadows features an Alice concert as sort of plot point.”

Luiz’s article continued, “However, my favorite of Cooper’s contributions to the world of scary movies was his involvement with the soundtrack for Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. The main attraction was obviously the hit single He’s Back (The Man From Behind The Mask), which was written as a catchy homage to the hockey-mask-wearing killer.”
