Thank you all! After cleaning up the casts the fun part begins. I'm super excited about painting everything.

Thanks Das! Slowly but surely getting the pieces prepped for paint.

About 75% of the parts have been cleaned up. I've painted the basic stands. This Slimer has very little paint on it. Just testing out a base coat and some shading. He'll be far more detailed and far more lime colored when finished.

It's the witching hour on all hollows eve. Isn't that when the ghosts come out? They're in need of busting . . .
Above is a paint and decal test version I completed just in time to meet Winston Zeddemore himself! While this particular version isn't where I want it to be it was important to learn what worked and what didn't. Paint will begin on the official figures soon.

Fantastic! What did Ernie have to say about him?
One question about the pole in the base. Will that be able to be shortened if we want it to be shorter after we get it? I'm just thinking of my display and how it might look being that high up.

I introduced myself and told him what I do. He took a glance and said "oh, that's awesome." Then he leaned in and started going over the details. He's like, "Let's get a picture with him" and we both proceeded to point at Slimer for a pic. He really seemed thrilled by it.
Ol Onion Head stands ten inches tall and has a base roughly four inches square. This puts the top of his head shoulder high for most sixth scale figures. The acrylic dowel is removable and can be cut to size with a simple hand saw. Though I can make adjustments if you need them.

That's, seriously, a bad-ass story, Riggs. To have him have that reaction had to feel great! Especially after all the hard work you've put in. Congrats, buddy!

I wasn't sure what to expect but it was really cool. He was also signing and giving out lenticular cards that switched between his picture and slimers. I think everything hit me more once I saw the pictures.

Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Halloween Update!
The struggle is real when it comes to green paint. I've spent about a week trying to find the perfect mix of shading, highlights, and mottling. I think I'm pretty close to a paint master now. The one I took to the meet and greet was super dark but appeared perfect in their lighting. It's ability to color change under certain lighting is one of the things bugging me. lol Getting a photo to appear the way he does in hand has been frustrating. Two examples:
Bright Halogen
Low Natural
That's the very same paint job. The second pic is probably closer to what he looks like in hand. So I guess you'll be able to choose how bright looking your Slimer is by the lighting you give him. Anywho, this is the point where suggestions can be made before I solidify the paints.

Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Finalizing Paint Master
I won't speak for others, but I think it looks great! Mine will be under bright white LED lighting, so it will definitely lighten up.

Re: He's An Ugly Little Spud - Finalizing Paint Master
I appreciate you saying so. Whats great about display lighting now is you can do pretty much anything with it. If he turns out too bright under the lights its easy enough to diffuse a little section just for him.
If I get a chance I'll base coat the majority of the Slimers today. I've finished paints on the standard and deluxe bases. Still have the traps and all their bits to go. Plus I'm planning a small addition to the trap version. There's no real order to my madness. lol

He still seems too dark to me. I was picturing something more like the old Neca Slimer, almost a neon green.
