Action figures have long been a perfect compliment to comic books, since every kid (or kid at heart) has that natural desire to act out adventures with their favorite heroes off the drawn page. <\/span>Every so often, a unique style of figure comes along that breaks the mold, so to speak.

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man’s appearance\u00a0was a key moment in the first Ghostbusters film, as was his destruction. Aside from an “exploding Stay Puft” Minimate, Art Asylum took that scene as a jumping off point for ‘mated variations of the main human\u00a0characters. Since Peter Venkman didn’t really get any marshmallow goo on him after Stay Puft exploded, we didn’t get a Minimate of him all covered in sticky ghost entrails. The other three, however,\u00a0may as well have\u00a0gone\u00a0swimming in a pool of Marshmallow Fluff.<\/p>\n

Since it’s Christmas, I felt like doing a seasonal image for Minimate Spotlight… and since we’re in the middle of looking at the Ghostbusters movie line, I thought that the “Gooey” releases would fit in well with a snow fight scene. And I also wanted to find a way to work the Dana Barrett Minimate into an image – and this seemed like a perfect opportunity!<\/p>\n

Behind the Image:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Again, I took the straight-up-photography approach with this image. I used some snow covered trees from a train set and a blue\u00a0board for sky, set up lights, and took\u00a0the photo. Very simple, very quick.<\/p>\n
