■ Product features
Although cute on the outside, Mr. Stay Puft is the embodiment of a god of destruction. He appears both in the original (1984) and the latest (2016) movie, and now he finally joins Bandai’s S.H.Figuarts line!
This figure compressed the gargantuan Destructor into a tiny body standing a mere 18 centimeters tall. With its mobility and the three different facial expressions he comes with—rage, smile, and evil laugh—you can have fun recreating the monumental scene from the movies!

■ About Ghostbusters
*Ghostbusters* is a supernatural comedy released in 1984 that follows three scientists who venture into the business of catching ghosts after a fiasco at their previous workplace. The movie was a huge hit, becoming the second highest grossing movie of the year in the U.S. Thirty two years later, the beloved classic returns, this time with an all-female Ghostbuster squad! The new movie releases on Aug. 19 in Japan.
■ Who Is the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man?
Mr. Stay Puft (who later also earned the nickname Tubby Soft-Squeeze from Ray and Peter) was the final enemy in the first Ghostbusters movie, and as such, it also makes an appearance in the 2016 movie. It was a cute company mascot that Ray thought of as the most innocent thing, which backfired when Gozer, the shape-shifting Sumerian god of destruction, took it as his Destructor Form.
■ About the S.H.Figuarts Series
S.H.Figuarts is a series of standard, palm-sized figures that unite faithful sculpting and coloring with mobility. The main goal of the series is to express characters through movement.
