Ray, what the hell were you thinking of that time?

I'm really pleased that the Ghostbusters are seeing a resurgence in recent years thanks in part to the awesome video game and the world remembering how cool they are. They're coming back so hard they even received a statue of vague relation to the franchise. Eventually though someone had to make a huge misstep and it might as well have been Matty Collector with his Ghostbusters Marshmallow Mess Ray Stantz.

What we're looking at here is a Club Ecto-1 exclusive action figure of Dan Aykroyd's character Ray all decked out in the exploded remains of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. I really don't want to make the obvious jokes...but well, here we go: For a guy with a bland expression on his face, Ray's got a lot of spunk. Gah, I feel gross now. I need a shower and a Kleenex. Gah, even grosser.

Really man, how could you not see what this looked like? The movie had the luxury of context and loads of fire retardant to imitate marshmallow goo, but here, all we're seeing is a standard figure with white paint flicked in a sloppy matter. I like Matty's other Ghostbuster figures, but this one is a disaster of biblical proportions. We're talking human sacrifices, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria. And before you you knock me for the cliched line, remember that I'm not the one who ejaculated on Dan Aykroyd rather than this Ghostbuster.
