Ghost Figure: Finger Pop Fiends an action figure which is part of Kenners The Real Ghostbusters Toy's line.
It was released in the American wave six with Green Ghost with Proton Pack and Fearsome Flush.
Interestingly enough, while the packaging for the toys doesn't suggest it, the "Action Toy Guide" for spring 1990 suggests that they are Mini Ghosts. Also on the back of American wave either cards the toys were pictured with Mini Ghosts: Mini Goopers, Mini Traps, and Mini Shooter (also Green Ghost with Proton Pack too). However, in the second case they are not actually noted as Mini Ghosts, just pictured with them.
