We have all seen the pictures for the Amazon Exclusive Edition of Ghostbusters The Video Game (for PS3, Xbox360, & Wii). Each Amazon Exclusive Edition comes with Minimates, Ecto Keychain and this incredible Slimer model from the original artist Steve Johnson.

Steve Johnson has joined forces with Paul Francis (the owner of the USF Ecto-1) to form the Solid Thought Corporation. They have provided Ghostbusters Fans with the first look at the Slimer Model included with the Amazon Exclusive Edition. The model is an impressive 10.5" tall and is cast in a translucent green, hovering over a facimile of the Ghostbusters Firehouse sign (designed by Paul Francis). These Slimer models will be limited to only 6500 pieces and are included in the Amazon package only and each one comes with a COA signed by artist Steve Johnson.

*Popular concensus be damned - I am SO getting this thing...

*Cheers.

[gb_dan]

Going to have to get this! Its really cool to know Paul worked on it!!!

[USFEcto1Paul]

I would like to thank AJ for really supporting this product.

We feel very privileged to have been a small part of the 25th anniversary.

I have also shared a few other details I'll let AJ share in his own time.

Thank you guys and GB Fans will get the exclusive scoop on any information we have relating to GB.

Some new pics of the Amazon Exclusive Slimer Edition:



*Click For Bigger Versions

It does say that it isn't the final apparence, but I doubt it would change much.. aside from the possibility of having bigger packaging too.

That pic of the slimer statue/figure looks much better than the original one posted here earlier in the week. Plus, I love the slimer cover art...what to do, what to do?

Plus I noticed the cover art says "this image does not reflect final packaging"...I wonder if that goes for the regular cover art too???

[Gb213]

Damn!! That`s a must-to-have Slimer figure... I´m amazed... I think I´ll buy it... but I really love the Gamestop tee they´re including on their pre-order.

[ectoplasmic residue]

would be pretty neat if slimer glowed in the dark.

[Dan AKA]

Ordered.

[AJ Quick]

Ordered.

When ordering, make sure you use these links:

Amazon Slimer Edition for PS3

Amazon Slimer Edition for Xbox360

Amazon Slimer Edition for Wii

It will help support GBFans.

Paul (who is in our chatroom right now!) just sent me a copy of the COA you will be getting in this package as well:



Amazon is also including a neat little image... no idea what it is.. a card?

[rodie]

I'm pretty sure that's the skin for the consoles.

[Wiggyof9]

I admit it does look better than the first picture, still not sure if t's for me though. I'm surprised the Wii cover doesn't use the Wii Slimer. It would be cool if the Wii special edition came with a Wii version of the statue.

Do amazon preorders charge you the full price upfront, or a deposit?

[Dan AKA]

You have to pay full price and shipping upfront.

[Ron Daniels]

You have to pay full price and shipping upfront.

Meh. Thats nearly a deal breaker.

[AJ Quick]

Meh. Thats nearly a deal breaker.

JediChris said he didn't have to pay.. but he also just purchased it.

I'm sure there has to be some kind of installment plan with Amazon or an Amazon Credit Account they could set you up with.

[Ron Daniels]

I'll look into it. At this point, if I bought the game for myself I'm pretty sure someone would kill me about buying my own birthday present.

[ectoplasmic residue]

id love to get it, but saving for the action figures thatll be releasing at the same time, or around that month. only so much to spend, but almost all my money will be going to this franchise alone.

*I pre-ordered mine a few hours ago, and being as though I didn't have the full $129.99 in my account, and pre-ordering it was just a hedge against loosing out on getting a copy, I called customer service to see if they charged you up front, or when the item was on-hand, and about to ship...

*According to the representative, he assured me that there would be no charge to my card until the item was ready to go come June, and I've checked my bank account periodically just to be safe, seeing as some of us have already been charged in full...So far I haven't been charged...

*But then again who knows?...I may check my account this time tomorrow and find out that I had been charged in the interim...

*I e-mailed them also just to be safe, so, I'll see what another representative says about the matter...

*Cheers.

[Dan AKA]

I might be wrong then, I'll check my account later. I would prefere they charged me in full right now.

Thanks but no thanks. I'd be up for paying a little more towards this edition of the game if it included extra cuts,interviews and unlockables etc but the mini mates,key chain and slimer bust just ain't cutting it. Just because its signed and comes with a piece of paper stating its authenticity I still can't see this beasts worth at $129.99. And I still think the slimer model is ugly as hell!

Strange thing it is it was just the 'no ghost' logo then I'd be tempted as that would look great in the back of my car.

[joeghostbuster]

I want that statue! actually all the other extras are cool too...

But I cant see paying $130 for the special edition of a game that I cant even play (as Ive mentioned before, Im a PC gamer and I dont own any consoles)

how come they couldnt do this for the pc version?

[DaveFrehley]

Seeing the photos of the statue closer and in hand to get a sense of scale makes this more appealing. I have to admit that I am not a HUGE fan of the slimer portion of the statue. I think if they would've made him a solid green rather than that translucent green it would've been an improvement. I do find it amusing that they made his ass so large. LOL I mean look at it.... it's soooo big.... He looks like....one of those rap guys' girlfriends. ANyway..... i'm definitely picking this up. I love the look of the GB logo in the statue. It's like the hanging sign that the GB's have outside the firehouse in the movie. I think that even if the statue were JUST that piece i would still buy it. I love the way it looks.

thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou FINALLY the real Slimer artist stands up!!! THIS is what Slimer is supposed to look like!!! This is what his proportions are... holy hell, why didn't someone tap Steve Johnson as consultant in the first place??? I personally bought the special edition SOLELY because he did the sculpt, even though I already reserved the PS3 version last July! It's worth it, what an awesome sculpt and SIZE too. Granted, I kinda wish it was a painted one versus transparent cast... but Im not sneezing at it, AT ALL.

Thank YOU Steve Johnson for being a man of detail. Now, if you wouldn't mind, please go talk to Mattel and Art Asylum, they're f****g with your design...

[gbcollector.com]

Wow, he did a really nice job on that. It looks better than I figured it would. Between that and the MiniMates this set looks more attractive.

[Talyn]

of course i only have a PS2, dangit
