Iconic angry face version of the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man! Press the plushy (not made of actual marshmallows) tummy to hear Ray Parker Jr.’s Ghostbusters! Each plush measures approximately 9-inches tall. “When there’s something strange, in the neighborhood. Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!” Plush comes from a smoke free and pet free residence.

You may remember in October I wrote a few posts about Ghostbusters confectionaries. (Ecto-Containment Tag) That is if you live in either the UK or a country where they can be shipped to. Since I imagine the cost of shipping candy which will either melt or expire could be very costly for an international company, in North America we either wrote about them or dealt with our emotions. Or both. 😀
One of those confectionaries, Stay-Puft Marshmallows. (Ecto-Containment Blog Post, October 13, 2015)Read More »

On June 24, 2014 Funko revealed (GBI) the upcoming SDCC Pop! Movies Ghostbusters exclusives. Immediately I knew I wanted one above all.
A Funko Pop! Movies Ghostbusters 4 pack? With the guys covered in marshmallow? Yes please.😀 As I wasn’t going to SDCC, getting this at face value (not its limited edition, its hot right now value) wasn’t going to be easy. As is usually the case I saw these on eBay well near and over $100 USD.
I had been looking for what was a previous exclusive variant of Funko’s Pop! Movie Stay-Puft, found at then US retailer Hot Topic. They too were going for varying prices from on-line retailers to eBay sellers. During a search I came across Fugitive Toys. I hadn’t previously heard of them. I hadn’t really collected vinyl figures and since that’s their toy business, made sense.
The weekend before Free Comic Book Day I was contacted by Mr. David Garth from the Parallax Corporation. He was telling me in a sentence most likely along with every major Ghostbusters fan site that the company has a new license to make and sell Stay-Puft marshmallows. And they already are!
Previously Omni Consumer Products had a license to make and sell Stay-Puft marshmallows. Their product contained squarish caffeinated marshmallows in a collectible rectangular box for $20. Unfortunately one of my boxes already past its expiration date when I received it.
New company, new ideas. Parallax Corporation’s box is probably more in line with how The Stay-Puft Corporation, if it really existed would be selling their delicious marshmallow treat in today’s snack world. It’s very competitive I’m sure. Only difference is they would never show an angry Mr. Stay Puft. Since this is for Ghostbusters fans, makes sense. If a fan didn’t want to display it that way all they would need to do is turn the box around.
Like O.C.P, Parallax Corporation is selling Stay-Puft marshmallows through Think Geek for a less costly price of $7.99. Which is feasible considering the new marshmallows are mini. Each box contains approx. 45 of them!
There is one caveat though. While I didn’t see this on the site, Chris from Proton Charging reported that Think Geek can’t ship the new Stay-Puft marshmallows outside the United States.
