Slimer Gushes Out of Muncher in Hasbro’s ‘Ghostbusters’ Ecto-Plasm Lab Playset?!
With a new Ghostbusters on the way this November, Hasbro is making the call by going all-out on a new line of toys.
Just last week, Hasbro revealed dozens of new action figures, not to mention an RC RTV Ghost Trap, Mini-Puft Popper, and even a Ghostbusters-themed “Clue”. Not included in the press release – and possibly because of spoilers – is a really cool ecto-plasm playset.
Ghostbusters News details the “Ghostbusters Ecto-Plasm Lab” that’s centered around Ghostbusters: Afterlife‘s newest monster: Muncher.
In the lab, you mix your own ecto-plasm, inject it directly into Muncher, and then squeeze.
A blob-like monster with six limbs, Muncher looks to be cut from the same cloth as Slimer, calling to mind the iconic ghost design while putting a new twist on it.
This is important because, well, Slimer is actually pictured directly on the front of the toy’s box. Even more interesting, Slimer is the ecto-plasm oozing out of Muncher!
While this by no means is any sort of confirmation that Slimer will appear in Ghostbusters: Afterlife this coming November, it does raise an eyebrow – Muncher’s inclusion indicates that the “Ecto-Plasm Lab” is an Afterlife product. Are they just using Slimer’s iconic and recognizable image to help sell this new product or will we find out that Slimer actually resides within Muncher in Ghostbusters: Afterlife? Hmm…

NECA Opens Official Image Gallery for ‘Savini Jason’ Action Figure from ‘Friday the 13th: The Game’
NECA had announced at Toy Fair that they’re releasing brand new Jason Voorhees action figures based on Jason Takes Manhattan and Jason Goes to Hell, along with the Tom Savini-designed hellish Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th: The Game. The latter action figure has received an official image gallery from NECA today, showing it off in all its glory.
The Ultimate Savini Jason 7” Scale Action Figure will be released in Summer 2026.
NECA previews, “From Friday the 13th: The Game comes a new look for Jason Voorhees, designed by the legendary Tom Savini! This version imagines the character as if he fought Lucifer, took his infernal Trident, and climbed out of Hell to haunt Camp Crystal Lake!
“Featuring fiery skin and a demonic look, this fully articulated 7-inch scale action figure features interchangeable heads, including one with light piping for a glowing effect in the eyes. It also includes interchangeable hands, Devil’s Pitchfork, mask, and smoke effect accessory.”
Makeup effects legend Tom Savini of course designed the original Jason, seen in Friday the 13th (1980), as well as The Final Chapter‘s Jason, and “Savini Jason” was his interpretation of what might have happened to Jason after the epic finale of Jason Goes to Hell.
