I understand they had problems with the slime products linked to Afterlife due to delays and what I assume was poor slime composition. Given there a loads of slimes on the market for kids which presumably don’t dry up in their packaging.
However, it blows my mind they aren’t reissuing slime in these. And then they’re only selling as an $90 set? Have I got that right? DOA. Huge missed opportunity.
Selling “Ecto-Plazm” without the ectoplasm is a choice, I must say.
There are just a ton of issues with slime.
Toxicity, staining, drying out.. etc. They view these as a collectable item rather than something you’re going to play with.
Having not been allowed to use the slime that came with my Kenner Firehouse back in (I think?) 1993, the lack of slime isn’t a deal-breaker for me, and it means that people collecting them don’t have to wash the goo off so they can display them out of the tubs.
I get there are issues - but slime exists at retail already.
Let’s say they did a 4-pack. With different coloured lids / slimes, and the toy comes in a clear bag, two per carton. For $34.99.
That would’ve made a lot more sense imo.
If I could buy one for $10 as a blind box then that’s maybe fine.
I’m amazed if they sell any of these at $90.
I have zero interest in Ecto Plazms without the Ecto Plazm. A shame.
Side note: does anybody know what the original slime was made of, and why it’s not possible to emulate and retail in 2026? Was it harmful?
The smell and consistency of the stuff was unlike any other slime product I’ve encountered on the market.
