Mini-Puft Surprise

Mini-Puft Surprise
Hasbro

Goo! Now you can get some "non-edible" play goo with a mystery mini-Puft figure!  There are six different figures to collect, and each can has an imprinted serial number on it to clue you in on which is inside.  You know...because the mystery gimmick is a sucky rip-off otherwise.

"That's for Camp Waconda!"

The goo is very gooey, requiring you to rapidly roll a bit into a ball to even begin to start removing it from everything it touches.  There's a good reason the figures are double-bagged inside the container:  the first gets ruined in cleaning/opening, and the second is to protect the figure.  I feel it would be a hassle to clean this off the Ghostbusters, so that's a no-go for me.  We'll have to wait for the return of Ectoplasm for that bit of fun.  

Aren't they cute?  While you're deciding if "cute" is what you're looking for in "Ghostbusters" (a bit too much in the vein of “Baby Yoda” success) , I'll tell you which are my favorites:  chocolate bar, puddle, and flames.  While they scale big with both 5 and 6 inch figures, they are still fun to bust when more ghosts are needed.  

There have already been pictures of several waves to come.  I hope the movie is good enough not to put the kibosh on these…and/or that they don’t get stuck on a barge in the California harbors too long after and get sent straight to Five Below stores.
