Year Released
2014 - Released as part of the Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary Ideas set during a period when LEGO was expanding its fan-submitted product line.
Rarity
Uncommon - This specific tiny molded figure is exclusive to set 21108. While the set was mass-produced, the small scale and unique color of this ghost make it a niche collector's item.
Head
Integrated - The figure is a single-mold element. The 'head' section features two simple debossed dot-eyes and a wavy, draped shape representing a sheet-like ghost.
Torso
Integrated - No distinct torso; the piece is a micro-figure or statuette style mold with ghostly arms sculpted into the sides of the garment-like body.
Legs
Integrated - The bottom of the figure features a rounded point with a small hole compatible with a single LEGO stud, rather than traditional legs.
Accessories
None - This figure is intended to be an accessory or an environmental element itself rather than a character that holds items.
Color Scheme
Trans-Neon Green - The figure is made of a translucent fluorescent green plastic that reacts vividly under ultraviolet light.
Printing Details
None - This is a plain, unprinted mold. The detail comes entirely from the sculpt and the material's transparency.
Variants
None for this specific mold in this color, though similar ghost molds exist in solid white and trans-blue in other themes like Monster Fighters or Hidden Side.
Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the smooth translucent surface. Tiny size makes it easy to lose. Check the bottom stud-hole for stress cracks.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $6.00 USD used; rarely sold individually new, but usually valued slightly higher in mint condition.
Price (New)
Retail $49.99 (as part of set 21108). The figure itself was never sold individually at retail.
Compatible Sets
21108 Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (2014).
Character Background
Generic Class 5 Full Roaming Vapor - Commonly associated with 'Slimer' or general hauntings depicted in the 1984 Ghostbusters film.
Design Notes
Uses a 'trophy' or 'statuette' scale mold. The choice of trans-neon green was a deliberate nod to the 'ecto-plasm' aesthetic of the 1980s.
Similar Minifigures
Slimer (Standard scale), Trans-Light Blue Ghost (Hidden Side), White Trophy Ghost (Collectible Minifigures Series 14).
Collectibility
Moderate - Highly desirable for Ghostbusters completionists and those building 'spooky' dioramas or apothecary-themed jars in MOCs.
History
Preceded the more detailed molded Slimer figure; this was the original 'scale' ghost provided for the Ideas-scale Ecto-1 vehicle.
Interesting Facts
Despite being monochromatic, this is one of the most UV-reactive pieces LEGO has ever produced in this specific mold shape.
Display Suggestions
Place inside a transparent jar element for a 'ghost-in-a-jar' look, or mount it on a clear bar piece to simulate floating near the Ecto-1.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs. Can be used as a magical potion ingredient, a holographic projection, or a tiny spirit familiar for a wizard.
Overall Assessment
A charming, specialized micro-element. While simple, its translucent property and association with a legendary film franchise make it a standout accessory.
