Back Off Man, He’s a Scientist!

Finally, you too can pack 12 inches of Venkman

Many is the time you’ve wished you had a one-foot tall Bill Murray that you could just sit on your shelf or maybe even carry around in a baby bjorn like he’s your own sardonic offspring.

Well, now is the time you can finally have it.

Check out the new 12-inch Peter Venkman Ghostbusters figure, which, as soon as you take it out of the box, is ready to harass secretaries, hit on uninterested Sigourney Weavers and show prehistoric bitches how you do things downtown. Available only through Mattel’s collector Web site, Foot-Long Venkman includes a ghost trap and light-up proton pack, which are awesomely removable, but unawesomely too small for you to strap onto your own back.

Be warned: All the previous 12-inch Ghostbuster releases ended up selling out. And none were nearly as versatile as Venkman. Dress him in a suit and all of a sudden you’ve got the weatherman from Groundhog Day! Shove him into a meatball and all of a sudden you have the head counselor from Meatballs! Put him in a Garfield costume and all of a sudden you have… a career misstep! Yeah, it’s definitely worth ordering now.
