next up is one of mine is a Slimer Topper - 7" Ikon brand.

the slimer statute is a really nicely painted resin sculpture which has a bobble wobble feature above the ghost trap.

so head to your local store and grab one for under $60 AUD and they also have a similar Stay Puft version. Then if you want to light it up you can use a custom base I designed that can be screwed down or double sided taped down. Then install some led strips and hook up to a feature or to a GI feature to have on constantly. My apologies about the base cost as not the cheapest but roughly 120 diameter and Shapeways charges on area and space it uses in their printers. The slimer base simple drops into the shapeways part so it can't slide off the top of the backbox. The base also allows you to install led strip (making it hidden from peoples view to add a glow to the sculpture that you can hook up to GI and / or a feature. I plan to have purple connected to GI and Green to a slimer feature on mine. It also has a small section for the wiring to exit cleanly out the back.

Then when you need to fold the backbox down simply lift slimer out of the retaining base and the base stays in place on top of the backbox.

I can't confirm if the Stay Puft fits into the base but could tweak the design and make a different one available if needed.
