People are complaining about the Mini-Puffs, because they are too cute. But they forget that the original giant Stay Pufft Marshmellow-Man from the first Ghostbusters-Movie and The Real Ghostbusters-Cartoon is just adorable. Seriously he is just a cute giant monster.
The white marshmallow substance was supposed to be a non-sticky slime but because it was at a warehouse for a year it's begun to break down and now it's sticky and gooey like real marshmallow. Can't wait for people to do on boxing of these in twenty years
When I got some and I opened them, I found it helpful to just cut the bag with the Mini Puft in it while it was in the container so I could minimize how much of the marshmallow slime I touched. Also, I had a bowl and paper towel nearby so yea that seemed to help.
Yeah that's what I'm planning to do when I get them, it would also be better if the actual goo was inside a bag and the figure on another, still messy but less efford to get the figure.
I found that mixing and mashing the slime in my hands for about 10 minutes mixed the spoiled slime back together and now it’s a perfect fluffy marshmallow consistency hope you saved some because it’s worth it
I'm glad you were honest about the marshmallow slime -- that stuff suuuuuucks. My five year-old daughter took a handful of it as we were opening the mini puft and ran throughout the house with it. It got everywhere, and it's a nightmare to clean up.
At the end of the day, it's the parent's job to make sure their kid doesn't eat it. And parents today don't wanna do their job. But the company is just covering their own ass by putting that disclaimer on there. Because even though parents don't want to do their job, by actually parenting, they are litigious as hell. Suddenly their child's well-being is a top priority to them once they see dollar $igns.
The can says its not edible but it would still have to be non-toxic to pass safety standards for a toy. My worry would be that a kid would choke on a glob of that unless its ultra-water soluable and saliva will "melt" it quickly.
Well at least the marshmallow "slime" is not colored. A big pain in the butt about the GB slime canisters was the green/purple of the slime would sometimes stain stuff. I normally don't go in much for collecting little figures, but man those mini puffs are so cute in a Gremlins kind of way.
I wonder if the slime would be easier to deal with if the can was put in the fridge or freezer first. Thanks for the number info Jason. I hope to see these in my area before long.
I can now confirm that freezing does work! I got one today and froze it for about an hour. The "fluff" turns into a rubber type of stuff that you can pull out with a pair of longnose pliers and just peel away from the plastic bag inside. Then I just tossed out the frozen fluff and I have a nice little tub as well as the figure with no mess.
@@michaelmiller4532 They restocked today at my local Target. There really hard to find. This is the only day I’ve seen them. Just keep looking. Don’t give up!
I have the melted one and the pencil one, but they came in opaque blue bags instead of a canister of marshmallow goo... Kinda glad about that if I'm honest.
LMAO I'm sorry but you dealing with the marshmallow residue is the laugh I needed today. You might want to break out the chemical gloves for handling the hazardous material lol. Thanks for also posting the serial numbers for the figures. Love the channel!
I just bought some of this stuff, didn't know what I was getting into. I thought it would be like Ecto-Plazm. What made it really messy to deal with was the bag, if the figure had just been in the slime like old school it would have been much easier to deal with. Obviously they had to do that because of the paint deco, but... I ended up playing with the slime for a while and I appreciate what they were going for, it really looks and feels like marshmallow. It gets a firm consistency if you keep kneading it, and goes right back to sticky goop if you put it in the can.
"This can't be what they intended" It literally looks like melted marshmallow. I'm guessing that's the intent. It's literally a concept in toy design called "messy play". And it's why slime, playdough, silly putty, finger painting, sandbox/sand tables... Kids enjoy playing with their senses, and parents can use it as a teaching tool for cleaning up. The easiest answer for parents on how to keep this clean would be to put a disposable tablecloth down and then after the play when they go wash their hands you just ball up the tablecloth and toss it (just make sure no minis are still on the table or they'll get tossed too which is a common occurence)
I ordered 6 of these. I love the mini stay puft figures. I love the container it comes in. But the "slime" feels like a prank on consumers. Slime and Ghostbusters are synonymous. But this isn't slime. This is an extremely sticky, foul smelling, messy glue that STAINS fabric and takes a lot of scrubbing to clean. I don't know who thought this would be a good idea. If it was a marshmallow scented "slime" with a foam consistency that would be great. Or the cheap generic slime that you can just roll into a ball. But this stuff ruins the containers. I don't want this junk in my drains either. It's awful. This is going to cause a nightmare for parents purchasing this for their kids. But mostly 30-40 something year old man-children are buying this to display in their adult toy collection.
The white goo does look like melted marshmallow, and the fact that it gets stringy like melted marshmallow was likely the intent. Still, I probably wouldn't want to buy that for a kid, or at least warn them that it is definitely NOT edible stuff. And I would make sure that they're opened over some kind of covering like newspaper so that stuff doesn't get all over the place.
Even as a kid I would've hated that "marshmallow" stuff. Messy things can be fun when you're a kid but that really doesn't look like it is. I would've just washed my hands straight away. No fun at all. Hopefully when they're released in the UK (if they haven't already?) we'll get the version without the marshmallow gunk.
Hey Jason, on the Canadian/international bags, there's a number on the back on the top left corner, I think that might be the indicator of which one it is for that packaging; I got two blind from Amazon and both had the number 1 and they were both the Mini-Puft tied to the rocket.
Just opened one yesterday and what you said actually makes sense... I couldn't believe what I was witnessing... They really need to stop with this slime and compound crap in toys it's horrible. We had found the tubes of slime at a dollar tree probably a year ago and it was super slimy when we opened them initially but I came across them a few days ago and upon opening it it had liquefied and spilt all over me. It was putrid to say the least.
I think the marshmallow slime stuff was intended to look like that, not to create a mess but because it looks exactly like melted marshmallows, have you guys ever had a s’more, because that’s what your hands look like after a s’more
I just saw Ghostbusters Afterlife Saturday and I got a mini stay puft from Target today!! Your numbers were right and it helped me get the one I wanted!! Thank you so much! Now I kind of want to get another one haha! It was messy but once you learn how to get it off and get it into a ball of slime. It’s really not that bad. I loved all of it lol!!
Honestly, the Marshmallow “slime” actually looks like melted Marshmallow. Maybe it was intended to stick to your fingers like that. Who knows? As a ghostbusters collector, I say it’s worth buying an unopened Mini Puft marshmallow can. I do hope that they bring back the Ecto Plasma slime like they did back in the day! That would be fun to play with indeed! 👻
I wish I knew about this before I bought mine. I got it while picking up Podcast and Lucky who I needed to complete the Afterlife Plasma Series (no Phoebe?) And I got everything home, got Podcast and Lucky out of box, built the underwhelming sentinel terror dog, and then went for this container. I popped off the cap, said "oh crap" and sealed it back up. I had no idea there would be "melted marshmallow" in the way of the mystery bag. So thanks to your video, I now know that I can't just pull the figure out. It's in a bag. It took 45 min to mostly clean it up. It's a year later. The label is removable. And I have the Puft on a Rocket, which I know because it's N04. I imagine I can't just wash this crap down the drain either. So I kinda wish I didn't buy it and have no idea what to do with it... This video was suggested to me so I'm very late to seeing this.
I bought one and it took forever to get that crap off my hands. I can’t believe they green lit this crap. I really hope it’s just because they sat maybe.
Best of stinks so much I found out that if you quickly tap your fingers together and then get a little glob of it together and use that to tamp down on other slime it builds up together and comes off everything but that stuff was really nasty
Yes I purchased two of those but the chemical in the goo was sooo nasty that I could Not keep it, it was just far to Toxic for my home so I had to throw those out emmediatly !!!
Now that the movie is out these will become a last minute surprise "IT" toy for Christmas 2021.....or in other words you won't be able to find them soon
This stuff is absolutely HORRIBLE!!!!!! Who the hell is responsible for this mess?!? This is worse than slime, it doesn't wash off!!! It gets and sticks everywhere, what idiot thought of this??
Gonna be a lot of angry parents with these. Having flash backs of getting Ghostbusters slime in the carpet.
@Jonathan Heiss Mattel would actually replace carpet if people complained. Not sure how Kenner or the other companies dealt with it.
No, this is far far worse than slime ever was. This doesn't even wash off your hands dude!!!
Me and my sons had a blast opening them! The mess was part of the fun! Just do it away from the collection lol

I love it , this Fake marshmallow looks real
Just imagine how the guys felt when they blasted Stay Puft!
Like the floor of a taxi cab
lol... This makes me very glad that up here in Canada, the mini-pufts came in bags with no slime.
I found that mixing and mashing the slime in my hands for about 10 minutes mixed the spoiled slime back together and now it’s a perfect fluffy marshmallow consistency hope you saved some because it’s worth it

The slime is intended for kids. Kids will love it. It will be a parent's nightmare though.
I always hate when the slime gets stuck to my hands
I wouldn't want to spill on that shirt Jason! ha ha
Ghostbusters king man ur shirt 👕 is crazy nice.Good show thx for the heads up on everything.
I feel like this marshmallow goo would look great on the plasma series figures.
"what in the world" said every ghostbuster when they see the marshmallow fluff
That’s one heck of a thumbnail
Whos ready to see those cute things on the big screen
Me
I just got one and had to check out your video. The marshmallow is an absolute nightmare!
*These remind me of the old Bazooka bubblegum buckets*
The marshmallow slime looks pretty accurate to the trailer. I’m sure it was intended to look just like that
I just wanted to say thank you for your content
and best wishes from Germany. I like your Channel 👍
I still wanna put some of this puft-stuff in the goop grates of my Firehouse to "slime" the new movie figs! :-D
please don't.
If these were in bags they would be less messy to get out of them, but they all look cool though.
*I can already see the kids wanting to eat this lol*

Some adults would try to eat it as well on tik tok 😆

I was able to get all six of the first wave in one trip thanks to your tip. Thank you Ghostbusters News!

I was very surprised by the mess they made haha. And I happened to get the same figures out of the two I bought.
Is it like silly string stuff?
Bought some of these for Christmas. Didn’t know they were slimy! 🤣
I could see this getting recalled.
Thanks so much for the serial number information! Down with blind bags!
Hahaha the messy marshmellow good is the best part :)
Goo*
I highly doubt one year in a sealed container would turn it into that. If anything, it would dry up, and become less sticky.
Nah slime melts...the stuff starts to separate
I wonder if the slime would be easier to deal with if the can was put in the fridge or freezer first. Thanks for the number info Jason. I hope to see these in my area before long.
freezer would probably solve the problem by slowing it way down.
That's an incredible idea! When I get my next wave of Mini-Pufts, will give that a try!

What a coincidence! The same day you uploaded this, I bought my first mini puft surprise cans!
@@michaelmiller4532 They restocked today at my local Target. There really hard to find. This is the only day I’ve seen them. Just keep looking. Don’t give up!

Follow up: ok, even I started to get nervous for your collection when you got to the 4th box...
I was opening mine and it’s was perfect ! It wast gooey it was just moist !
I plan to get some of these but man, that looks like a damn mess! International got it right that is for sure lol! Great video guys!
I love that it is gross, very ghostbusters.
Who thought this would be a good idea to just dump the slime in the container last minute 😂
I heard of 'sticky business', but this is ridiculous.... Lol
Actually i think this was intentional, because that's what playing with actual marshmallow fluff would be like.
does it have a do not eat

Yeah the gunk was a pain in the A. i got 4 and after opening the first, I put on latex gloves.

I have opened 4 of mini puft cups and i got 2 melted minis and the drumer one and the one with the pencil
Thanks for the mess warning. Was there any sort of expiration date on them?
This is a mashup of "Ghostbusters" and "The Stuff" (1985)!
I just got some of these but im gonna save them for my future grandchildren.
Nice 👍🏻
It's this generation's Homie.
I don't think there gonna remove it because the other manufacturers won't know which one is inside

i may have missed it. but does it smell like marshmallows? if so this stuff could be a problem
Doesn't smell like marshmallow at all.
I think out of the USA the marshmellow goop is not allowed because of child protection rules. Nice idea, but make it really edible next time.
I need that shirt!!!!!
I don't think he liked the way you played with his coconuts
Its realistic, if you see how bad the slime is in the movie, this mimics better than if they made it less messy 🤷♂️
Wait there horror story on those toys😱
I found out that if you put them in the refrigerator for about an hour, it's not gooey anymore.
Maybe needs refrigerating before opening
Now that the movie is out these will become a last minute surprise "IT" toy for Christmas 2021.....or in other words you won't be able to find them soon

This just might be better to buy opened on ebay to not have to deal with that nonsense.
I’m gunna repaint my mini pufts. They’re cute but the janky paint job is annoying.
