One of the fondest memories of my childhood was having a Ghostbusters Ghostpopper. Naturally, I remember it being bigger, due to being a small child at the time. Nevertheless, this rerelease has me reliving those days, firing large foam chunks up to 20′ away as advertised. It’s certainly not a performance-based blaster, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s just $20 of pure fun.

As with the original, you can cut out targets on the back of the box! Because Slimer always needs captured! You also have the appropriate stickers, including on the plunger inside the blaster to indicate that you’re “charged up”.
Performance
As stated, the blaster does hit the 20′ ranges on the box. With practice, it’s fairly easy to fire off a shot every three seconds.
Of course, mileage will vary with age and arm strength (not to mention eye/hand coordination)I

Final Opinion
Nostalgia is great, but the key to nostalgia is the original being good to begin with. With that in mind, the Ghostpopper delivers, firing foam slugs like it did before. Feel free to grab one at Walmart and turn your kids into Ghostbusters!
