Spooky Figure Specs
Although the precise phrases included with the latest figure aren't detailed on its packaging, the 2008 model supplied us with iconic lines from the Beetlejuice character, such as “Thank you! Woo! That is why I won't do two shows a night anymore, babe. I won't. I won't do them.” and “Go ahead, make my millennium.”
The official description for this cheeky figure reads, “Need to scare the living away from your comfy haunt? Just say “Betelgeuse” three times and you'll summon the hereafter's most obnoxious freelance bio-exorcist! The talking 18″ action figure of the Ghost with the Most speaks actual lines from the movie when motion activated. A great addition to any fans' collection!”
