Rarity & Significance
Common for the era, but holds significant nostalgia as part of a highly popular 1980s cross-promotion between Burger King and the Ghostbusters franchise. It is an entry-level collectible for fans of 'The Real Ghostbusters' animated series.
Special Features
Mechanical extension feature: the soft green protrusion 'grows' when the plunger is depressed, simulating a slime discharge or proton stream effect.
Notable Variations
There are no major manufacturing variations, though the color of the vinyl 'slime' can vary slightly in translucency due to different production batches or UV exposure over time.
