Includes:
- 1x Slimer maquette in brown resin mounted on a black base
- 2x Scoleri Brothers maquettes in plaster, painted gray.
One of the two Scoleri figures features the signature of sculptor Mark Siegel and the date “10/88” engraved on the back.
These sculptures were used by the special effects team (under the supervision of Steve Johnson and Mark Siegel) as design references for the final puppets seen in the film, particularly in the courtroom scene and for Slimer’s appearances.
Condition shows pitting, paint chips, and signs of use typical of studio work maquettes.

Value for Ghostbusters fans
For a true Ghostbusters fan, this lot has exceptional and almost unique value:
- A piece of movie history: These are original pre-production artifacts created directly by ILM for the 1989 sequel. They aren’t replicas or stage props, but the physical guides used to design and create the animatronic puppets that appeared on screen.
- Direct connection to the creators: Mark Siegel‘s signature and the October 1988 date on one Scoleri make the piece extremely personal and well-documented. It’s a tangible link to the special effects team that brought Slimer and the franchise’s most chaotic ghost brothers to life.
- Nostalgia and rarity: “Hardcore” fans greatly appreciate these items because they represent the behind-the-scenes work of 1980s practical filmmaking. Having Slimer and the two Scoleri Brothers together perfectly recreates the madness of the courtroom scene, one of the most iconic moments in Ghostbusters II.
- High-level collecting: These are museum-grade or elite collector items. Few fans own ILM production pieces so directly linked to the film.
