April 20, 2011 : Lady Liberty - in full color

liberty

By now you’ve all seen (and bought?) the Slimer light-up statue and you’ve all seen (and pre-ordered?) the Stay Puft light-up statue.  Well, here is the third piece in the line, the Statue of Liberty.

Straight from the finale of Ghostbusters II, this statue will be the same general height as the other pieces in the line and, of course, she’ll be translucent resin so she’ll light up on your desk or shelf.  An edition size has not been determined at this time, but expect this to be highly collectible.  After all, an icon like the Statue of Liberty is going to appeal to patriotic fans all over, regardless of their feelings toward Ghostbusters.
