Year Released
2016 - Debuted in May as part of the Lego Dimensions Wave 5.
Rarity
Uncommon. Exclusive to a specific level pack (71241), but fairly accessible during its production run.
Head
The head is an integrated part of a unique non-standard mold, featuring a scowling expression with visible teeth and purple eyes printed on trans-neon green plastic.
Torso
The torso is part of the custom one-piece 'blob' mold. It features stubby arms with standard minifigure hands molded in trans-neon green.
Legs
Non-existent. The figure uses a custom molded base that depicts a dripping, slime-like appearance instead of traditional legs.
Accessories
Included hot dog and sausage pieces (representing his gluttony). The pack also included a brick-built Slime Shooter.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Trans-Neon Green. The internal printing for the face uses dark red, black, and white accents.
Printing Details
Simple pad printing on the face area only. Alignment is generally high quality, though small facial features can vary slightly in centering on the curved mold.
Variants
There are two main 'Slimer' versions: this Dimensions version (dim007) with a grumpy face and the Firehouse Headquarters version (gb011) with a smiling, tongue-out face.
Condition Notes
The trans-neon green plastic is prone to 'clouding' or micro-scratches if stored loosely. The unique arm joints are thinner than standard minifigure arms and can develop stress marks.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $10-$15 USD used, and $25-$35 USD as part of a sealed Level Pack.
Price (New)
The 71241 Slimer Level Pack originally retailed for $11.99 USD in 2016.
Compatible Sets
71241 Dimensions Level Pack: Slimer.
Character Background
Based on the iconic ghost from the 1984 Ghostbusters film, known for his insatiable appetite and green slime trail. He later became a mascot-like ally in The Real Ghostbusters cartoon.
Design Notes
A total departure from the standard minifigure form. It utilizes a singular large molded piece that fits over a 1x2 plate or a specialized 2x2 round 'jump' plate.
Similar Minifigures
Slimer (gb011) from 75827 Firehouse Headquarters and the glow-in-the-dark Ghost from the Monster Fighters line.
Collectibility
Moderate to High. Ghostbusters fans and LEGO Dimensions completionsists keep demand steady, though it is overshadowed slightly by the rare Firehouse variant.
History
This represented LEGO's first specialized mold for the character, designed to capture his amorphous shape more accurately than a standard minifigure could.
Interesting Facts
The figure was playable in the LEGO Dimensions video game, where he could dive underwater and fit through small hatches, despite having no legs.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with a transparent bar to simulate 'hovering' or placed near LEGO food items like pizza and hot dogs.
Modification Potential
The internal cavity allows it to be placed on top of standard minifigure heads to create 'slimed' custom characters. Compatible with transparent green power blasts.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic, character-accurate mold that perfectly represents the 1980s aesthetic. Highly recommended for fans of the franchise due to its unique material and glow-like appearance.
