- ↑ Kenner (1990). "Product Concept" (1990) Line reads: "Slimeriser Backpack is based upon scrap from the new movie Ghostbusters II, modified to suit blow molding techniques. The toy comprises a blow molded tank with minimal label detail. An injection molded styled gun has a captured projectile (jet of slime) which is released and shoots forward when a button is pressed. The projectiles should be styled to represent a jet of good pink slime which is used in the movie to hose the inside of the Statue of Liberty. The gun can hang from and is connected to the backpack by a tube."
