Slimer & practical trap effects

I picked up the NECA 1:1 Slimer a few weeks back and decided I wanted to build some sort of dynamic display for him.

There isn’t a way to mount him on a pole like a mannequin without damaging him. I’d also be concerned he’d tip over and snap an arm or tooth.

He’s soft foam so I don’t think suspending him from the ceiling will be doable, and you’d probably have to punch a hole in his back for that.

I think he will need to be sturdy and on a sturdy base. Something like a box or a table will probably be needed.

Right now he’s on a tub in a spare room.

Pringles can fits pretty well in his right hand.

I recently 3D printed a trap and added an ecig smoke kit.

I wanted to replicate the electrical discharge effect from when the trap is activated and shortly after a ghost is captured.

I used some flashing EL wire for that effect.

I purchased a cheap color changing LED spotlight from amazon to fit in a trap. It fits but needs to run from a wall outlet.

I used some more EL wire and I’m going to add a capture stream effect. I have more wire on the way and its just kind of draped on him here. I haven’t finished making the crackling electricity effect for the red wire yet.

I’m going to adapt the trap effects to into a wearable suit for some live action GB demos for a local franchise.

I’ll post more updates soon.

More EL wire and a tweaked LED light in the trap.

Love this! Makes me want to grab some EL wire and create a proton stream affect on my wall.

I just found a really good deal on a slimer but with no box. Can someone share pictures of the box. I am trying to figure out how store it.
