But no dancing toaster to go with your jars of slime?
No toaster yet. Still trying to find the Sniffer 300 as well as the Beckman Electrode Model G to go down here. Those would look great on the bar that is being built in the coming months.
The best reaction was when I was moving in here and had the proton pack put on the wall. Everything else was packed away and I had just put the green stripes and brass coatings on the poles. I had DirecTV installers come and hook up my TVs and they stepped down here and I was asked what the hell the big box on the wall was. I told them it keeps my cockroaches out of that room. Then we talked about what it really was and they were super stoked. They had to call into the Customer Support Center for DirecTV and name the rooms that the receivers were in and that is where the lame name of "ECTO MAN CAVE" came from. They also tossed in a "Who ya gonna call?" to the CC operator.

Stay-Puft's face is all smoothe. I've never seen one like that before, what's the story on him?

Mr. Stay Puft is a place holder for the 1980s version that you are thinking of. This little guy was the stress reliever version that was a premium for pre-ordering the GB:TVG. I have two versions of him. One in the mesh netting and the other out of it. I was the only one to pre-order it from Movie Gallery in my small town (prior to GameStop moving in a few years later) and they just gave me all the Stay Pufts that they were shipped. Kinda neat.
I did a small lighting update today to replace really crappy options with white Christmas lights. Now the GB 12" figures get proper lighting as my cabinet did. I bought 12" expansion LED bars for the system that controls my display cabinet so both displays will dance to music and change colors if I want or I can just keep them lit up with whatever I feel like. I do enjoy the green.
Also while I was at Lowe's, I grabbed more caution tape to decorate the sides of the display to add a bit more of the GB effect.
For anyone looking to do this option, here is what I am using from Lowe's. It can be found in the aisle where they keep ceiling fan options.
Cyron Lighting Plug-In Cabinet LED Light Bar Kit:http://www.lowes.com/pd_696-24994-HTP90 ... facetInfo= And I also added two loose Screaming Heroes of Janine and Peter to the RGB bottom shelf but nothing really worth taking a photo of until I add more to it.
