- Adam unboxes and review the largest scale model vehicle ever to arrive at the studio: the massive 1/6th scale Ghostbusters Ecto-1 from Blitzway via BigBadToyStore! This is an insanely detailed replica of the original Ecto-1 as it appeared in the first Ghostbusters film, illuminuated throughout with LED lights and even the engine fully modeled under the hood. It's a rare collectible that leaves Adam speechless, and he can't wait to weather it up in a future build!

Now we just need a one day build from Adam where he weathers this himself and adds a sound pack to make the noises from the film!
The off camera squeals of child like joy keeps cracking me up, I'd feel the same
This is incredible!
I actually just got one that's a huge 1:1 scale... it's currently leaking oil in my garage
What? No siren??
The door closing sounds.
Those sound like an actual old car door closing, just in miniature. That is *INCREDIBLE* attention to detail.
i thought the same! i thought, even the doors feel authentic... mind blown.
That's exactly what I thought too. One of my favourite aspects of this model, actually.
I've heard real modern cars that don't sound that good when you close the doors.
As soon as he shut one of the doors I was like "Holy crap,it sounds like a heavy car door!"
If I spent 3k on a model car I'd want the doors to sound that good too
Watched Ghostbusters last night for the first time in 20 years or something. What a coincidence. The movie still holds up, it's so good.
Check out TH-cam for First time watching videos of people watching Ghostbusters for the first time. It's almost like seeing it again for the first time.
Not a coincidence. They're using your data
😎👍🏽
It's true, even with all the obvious mistakes (rails on Dana's chair etc) we still love it.
*третья част вышла*
I can’t even imagine the level of work that must have gone into designing and perfecting a commercial model like this. Insane.
As a lifelong Ghostbusters fan (favorite movie), the reverence, giddiness, and sheer enjoyment Adam's expressing is *everything* to me - I'd be reacting the same exact way should I have this in my possession and were unboxing it. Thank you for allowing me to feel validated by enjoying this vicariously though you, Adam.
It's Big Bad Toystore at those uttered words you know it's fire
It's like watching a kid open presents on Christmas morning. That Ecto looks awesome!
Watching a kid open presents on Christmas morning is what I think every time Adam opens his "presents" 😁
Love how much Adam is in touch with his inner child! 😁😁😁
@@vaderdave5046 yes 😂
By coincidence, I shot my ectoplasma from watching this
More like watching a kid open every present made in history at the same time.
The weighty sound of the closing doors is so satisfying
Holy shit this models just too much! 🤯 I'm blown away! The sound of the doors closing😳 WTF!! The lights, motor suspension, everythings so detailed.. so cool. Love it!
I love Adam's joy and enthusiasm with this Ecto-1, but he almost gave me a heart attack when I thought he was about to push the roof part onto the floor! Beautiful 1/6 replica!
Oh man I winced a bit when the top equipment was almost knocked off the table, but luckily the cast was on it!
oh so close! had me stressin!
Yes. At 5.30. As soon as Adam put the top equipment on the edge of the table, I was waiting for it to get knocked off! Luckily the crew were one step ahead also! hehe
That was giving me serious anxiety.
CREW: "See what can happen, Adam? This is why we can't have nice things!"
I was cringing with the bonnet, was sure it was going to break. So rough!
Fun fact: The movie is older now than the Ecto-1 was in 1984. The 1959 Cadillac the Ecto-1 is built from was only 25-years old when the movie came out. An similarly aged vehicle today would be a 1998 model.
Why would you do that to all the Gen X and Elder Millennials still trying to convince ourselves 1973 was maybe 30 years ago?
@@sarak1542 I always do these dumb calculations with pop culture from my youth and I thought I’d share the pain this time. 😂
My grandfather was a supervisor at Miller-Meteor in Bellefontaine, Ohio and would have been there when the 2 that were purchased for the film were built :)
@@sarak1542 If you really want to be depressed look into how old the Golden Girls were supposed to be on the show.
@@sarak1542 Dude, I watch _Back to the Future_ and I'm still convinced that 1955 is 30 years ago.
The detail on this model is completely fantastic! I am not a big model fan but this one is super cool.
Wow Blitzway really blew this one out of the water with so much details on such a compact version of the Ghost Buster mobile. Everything is on point and very impressive. Just amazing looking piece. Thank you for doing this unboxing and sharing it with us. Congrats on your new Hot Toys project.
Adam i love how you get so excited about weathering new shiny things. You seem to see the modeling world through an eye of “what can be made more realistic”.
You are an artist among builders, please know that you are looked up to and admired!
among
a mongoose
I love how the emergency lights on top realistically spin in circles like the real vehicle 😊👍🏻 Other police model cars would have blinking lights but I’m very impressed with this model even with the sounds of the doors shutting and the hood lol . 10/10
Wow the detail of that cars build is magnificent from front to back and the working parts and electronics are so awesome. It's an awesome piece my man.
Wow. I had to type that out… The pieces that you have been unboxing have been amazing. I am enjoying every minute of it, without getting into trouble with the Mrs. for filling our home with so many of these great items.
Actually I am glad there is an MP3 player because no eee errrr eee errrr siren would have been a huge miss. Glad to see Blizway put some thought to that.
BBTS has never let me down. Good stuff
You typed it as I was thinking it!
Waited for the siren to come up the hole video
Yeah, I don't think it's mission creep. They probably wanted to include sounds from the movie (maybe the theme song), but licensing was difficult/expensive. Easy enough to find that online and load onto an SD card yourself.
@@vodiak Agree.
Yep, what you play is yours we just make it so you can.
The rotating Light Shrouds is legitimately insane. That is crazy. This thing is amazing
They are cool when they work. Mine on my Ecto-1 stopped and didn't work half the time when I first got it. You can see they finally started spinning after Adam shut the door a little hard. It's a known issue and for the price they should work better than that.
@@garyg.6709 Did yours cost around $2100?
The fact they can even make working light bars that small is unbelievable.
Beautifully detailed, and the vehicle is definitely needs it's own display case or table. I like the One-man Cot as the stretcher, it reminds me of the one I use at work.
The engine compartment detail is stunning, not a kit that I could display in my house but would be ideal in a private auto collection as a conversation piece.
Imagine a miniature stop motion short film with this beauty.
40 years of retail and big expensive boxes, and never anything boxed as well as that! The box design was beautiful. Like dreaming of models on boxes as a kid!
At US$2,100 not including delivery, it would want to be. Regardless, I would be encasing in glass both the model and the box it came in.
When I received my Exoto 1/10th scale Ford GT40 MkII, the packaging was quite similar. Double-boxed; inner foam clam shells; and velcro straps. Also, the model was held in place by two thick, wide U-shaped plastic forms that grabbed the model completely around the passenger cabin only, with soft material between them. The two plastic forms snapped together, and tightly indexed into slots inside the foam clam shells. In other words, the model was _suspended_ inside the box!
You're my hero! I always look up to you since 1st eps if MythBusters. It's fun to have my curiosities answered by seeing your works.
Adam, I absolutely love this unboxing great job as always and an awesome car
Utterly incredible!! The joy and excitement from Adam instantly puts a big smile on my face, love it!!! 😍
I'm sure Adam has a master's feel for exactly how much different materials can endure before breaking. But I get anxious watching how non-chalantly and violently these things are handled. Which is actually funny considering how much Adam obviously loves these things.
Being able to fix or remake just about anything probably gives him some confidence as well
Seriously, I’m like bruh…. where are you gloves…
The part where he almost knocked the top piece from the table and someone off-screen grabbed it was killing me.
I mean isnt that kinda his style tho, non chalant, and if something falls and breaks, it just gives it more character when he fixes it and puts his own flare on the repair job.
I swore he was going to snap off the hood or break the hinges when it didn't retract properly the first time. Adam can be very careless sometimes, it's a pet peeve of mine.
This brings back so many great memories of the movie. I love that car. Can't wait to see what you do to this car. Great video and content
The amount of work producing this awesome model must have been epic.
The amount of detail on the underside shows that they cared about the project. No one will see that when displayed but man did they put effort in it anyways =o
Easy enough to build a display stand with a mirror base so that it can be displayed in all its glory. They display cars that way in car shows all the time.
The commitment to imitating the ‘natural linear grace’ of incandescence with LED lighting and motors is heart warming and it lends so much extra reality to the piece. Beautiful.
Can't wait for the weathering vídeo! Loved this
Seeing him move this toy around reminds me of the ghostbusters car my grandmother bought me in the late 80s when I was just a few years old. She died shortly after, and I remember holding this toy next to the tire swing in her front yard while the ambulance drove away. I was crying. I remember the sound of my tears on Ecto-1 as they took her. There are tears flowing from my eyes right now because this is BEAUTIFUL. God Bless.
I wish someone would make a Johnny Five from Short Circuit collectable in this detail.
I hope one day I can afford one of these. I truly enjoyed this unboxing experience. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
I love the taillights and the spaceship back seat. Oh wow the engine is beautiful.
the detail is outstanding in the early 70's I built model cars often and they never had detail like this best they had was a clipper ship my sister got me for christmas one year, like 3 ft long, forget the scale but it took day and days to assemble and it was so detailed
The weathered version had this in the description: The body, which powerfully runs forward, is rich in various secret devices. The gunner seat pops out when the side door opens is exactly reproduced as seen in the movie. Used to catch ghosts, the R.T.V. takes off from the bottom of the vehicle body.
Imagine it being RC and having the awesome siren sound!
I'd load the siren onto the MP3 player. Put on repeat job done.
@@matthewtemprell5422 man l knew l were stupid, let me apologize with a like!
For what it costs is should be RC everything included
Yes, even basic R/C motion and control of the lights would add a lot.
@@kevinjhonson5925 l get it Sir, we're all poor here. Drink it away.
Wow. Now that is a wondrous piece. Just superb.
Your childlike exuberance over this “toy” is heartwarming. Nice to see in this jaded society we live in.
Wow, Adam! Looks you have found yourself a very cool toy!
Deserves at least a working carousel underneath and a huge glass box above. Truly a collectible gem.
Glad I'm not the only one that uses the "Aziz, light!" quote in that context :)
A very nice finish from factory! Love the huge scale!
The front logo on the box is awesome, real depth to it. The car is phenomenal too.
I feel the excitement that you show when unboxing this. When you lifted it up and made the Catalytic Converter joke, I busted out laughing because I thought the same thing.
I smirked at how unlikely it is to have the catalytic converter stolen off a 1959 Cadillac ambulance
@@TheGreatAtario because that was before they had them with platinum in them?
@@Burke76 Because that was before anyone put catalytic converters on cars
So jealous ... What a wonderful piece!
The rotating light bars are awesome! I feel they could be a bit brighter with some higher power LED’s.
That is absolutely amazing Adam. Been a fan of yours syncio MythBusters found your channel quite recently say you haven't lost any of your spark for the weird and wonderful thank you so much for having this channel
These giant models are too cool 😎
Cool ecto 1 Ghostbusters! A giant vehicle scale model, nice! Thanks for showing it.
You are just amazing! So fun to watch!
I'm impressed. It's really big and very realistic like the original. I have a model from lego 10274, it is also big for bricks. This car, however, broke the system and I would love to collect it. The only problem is the price. $2990 is a lot of money to me. It's good that Adam showed him in the movie and I could see him. Hello everyone.
I would LOVE to see this Ecto model weathered compliments of Adam
aged
So beautiful, really stunning. If only I had space to put this somewhere in my home!
Love the video!
Keep up the great work
Fun to watch Adam enjoy the Ecto-1 Auto! Christmas came early in 2023!
The attention to detail on this is phenomenal!!!
That's a gorgeous car even before being an Ecto-1, but all those little bits and pieces are just really something to behold!!!
It would be really hard for me to resist making it an RC car!!!!
🙋♂️🤳🚑💨💨💨
EDIT:
I just looked up the price for the 'non-weathered' pre AFTERLIFE version and the AFTERLIFE one(which is significantly more affordable) and although I wouldn't spend that type of money on a static model, to me it's worth every penny if you have the money to spend on something like that!!!! *WELL DONE*
Gotta say, that’s the coolest and most detailed ecto 1 scale model I’ve ever seen…👍👍👍
Mines just came today absolutely exited!!!
The casting and molding looks really well done. I loathe when they get the scale wrong or you get stress lines when they are ejected from the molds. If it's a model kit and you are going to paint over, then you can deal with it but not when it's a finished item.
This is freakin amazing and brings back some awesome memories. This would have blown my 10 year old mind lol. Kinda disappointed there isn't the sound of the sirens. But all in all... so freakin cool. You're a lucky man Adam
It includes siren sounds, but adam is old and doesn't know how to work with built-in mp3 player.
Truly incredible detail! Wow!
"Aziz. Light!" Is something said in my house for... decades. What a treat to hear you say it. My kids finally know I'm not alone in my weirdness :)
“Gotta watch out, some one’s gonna steal the catalytic converter” 🤣
🤔Not on a '59 Cadillac Miller Meteor LOL - not on cars until 1975😜
Adam I feel like you could daily drive an ecto 1 replica and nobody would question it.
Next stop-weathering. After that- adding R/C driving and control of lights and sound! Fantastic model!
Your willingness to try things and admit you don't always understand them is what makes it much more approachable for us all I think, great vid
I hope we get to see the weathering process! That’s an incredible model!
ageing process
@@barrydavies998 No. It’s weathering. If you watch the video Adam even calls it that because that’s the correct terminology.
I don't think he's going to do that. This is a model from a few years ago. You can't get it anymore. But you can get a new version that's from Ghostbusters afterlife that is a weathered version of this.
@C.C. 95 Just because you can't get it anymore doesn't mean he won't weather HIS. He said at the very end that it will be another video.
This is insane, I love how his mind kept getting blown while we kept getting different angles of the model 😂😅 very funny imo
God this is so cool I’m go getting one and definitely will be watching you do whatever you do with this awesome car
WOW !! .. have never seen a model that well boxed & wraped ! .. Bet it's some pretty good coin as well .. EEK !!
This is an impressive “toy”. What happened to the Eaglemoss ECTO-1 kit Adam was building?
Eaglemoss went under and remaining inventory was bought out. Not sure if they're going to continue sending out parts...
@@TakuroSpirit77 Oh wow, thanks for the info. That was a fun build to watch progress.
I like that Adam Savage is doing "Toy" reviews now! His experience in Special effects and in Movie industry validates any opinion he has on the subject! He is truly the Subject matter expert!
Very nice, I look forward to seeing the end result.
That's awesome! Detail on every inch of it :D
Safe to say he is going to have to build a display case for that beast!
i would love putting an RC kit in this
Cannot wait to watch the weathering video!!
As a kid of the 1980s who watched the Real Ghostbusters every day before school, this would be an absolute dream to have in my house. The only problem is if I spent $3,000 on a toy my wife would want to spend $3,000 on something too, which means I'm actually out $6,000 if I bought this!
I saw a fella in a pawn shop trying to borrow $500.00 on one and they tried to loan him $120.00 😂😂🎉 he cut up like brathworth sausage in there.
Soooooooo cooooool!!!!
Would love to see you make this radio controlled! That would be insane!!!!
5:00 a little quote from "Fifth Element" at exactly minute 5...
I dig it.
I can hear the siren the whole time! that looks so cool. how long before he builds his own real sized ecto-1? lol!
The doors even sound like real car doors closing. That's cool man !!
Adam, you really are a kid at heart. Never change.
Pretty cool,I'td be nice to see a 2nd video of the figures being put inside with all that detail you might as well go all the way with it right
I remember seeing the original Ghostbusters back when I was a kid on VHS. If you don't know what VHS tapes were look it up😊 I really enjoyed the horror/ comedy films of the 80s and was very glad they captured that balance perfectly with Ghostbusters Afterlife. Definitely a great service to the fans. Too bad we had to endure the terrible 2016 film. Let's just pretend it never happened. RIP to Harold Ramis ❤
Look it up ? It's just a freaky unboxing video !
This looks like an amazing replica. The only real let down for me is the wire routing. With as much attention to detail as was given to everything else (and as much space as they should have had in something this big), I feel they could have done a much better job.
Couldn't agree with you more. For a nearly $2K initial release MSRP, they're clearly banking on the size and all the toylike electrical to veto the lack of true-to-scale details on a car this big - hoping that things omitted or lacking won't matter in the overall appeal factor. LED lighting / animation packages provide a lot of perceived value but are actually incredibly cheap to mass-produce and implement once prototyped. Since similarly large, real high quality 1/8 scale (slightly smaller) actual die-cast collector vehicles with super detailing by a company like Amalgam can cost $13-26,000, I wouldn't expect museum detail on the ECTO 1. However, they could have done a better job than they did with the actual '59 Cadillac Miller Meteor that the ECTO 1 is based on, for the $1900 price tag they put on it, rather than relying on the "cool factor" of the animations.
This is simply awesome model. Wow!
Almost a year ago I was given the rb33 from Max Verstappen from the Austrian Grand Prix 2018 was stunned by the great amount of detail All the tiny things and gizmos are there for example the steering wheel. But this is something else. Great piece of art. Excuse me. Toy. Great video and thnk you Adam for sharing.
Is Adam ever going to go back to building his own Ecto-1 he started to do last year from that other kit?
I saw the thumbnail and thought thats what the video was going to be...bummer...
Eaglemoss went bankrupt. Fortunately, the rights were bought out and Fanhome is now the distributor but they are taking a while to get started.
So that build it going to be on hold until Fanhome are tooled up for their continuation of that build.
I believe that company stopped manufacturing and left tons of people without the parts to finish it.
@@hallambaker Oh wow!
sadly Eaglemoss when out of business
The fact that when he closes the doors actually sounds like a real car door says a lot about this.
the fact is, he is old, why the unboxing crap ?
we only liked his TV show, do that again here ! Why the unboxing crap ?
It's awesome that Adam uses the instructions
Omg so cool!! I love that you could download the siren sounds and the ghostbusters song!
Thing is, the bigger the scale, the more impressive, but at the same time also much easier to add details.
LOL @5:25 a Ghost saves the day and prevents the first top piece from falling off the table. As soon as I seen him put that there from the start I was watching it saying any moment its gonna get knocked off the table.... Hahahaha
OMG it's to beautiful, I want one! Can remember as a kid going to see it. Use to have every and I mean every , Ghostbusters toy , figures the packs and the firehouse. Wish I still had it all 😥
Thank you to the hand of god saving the roof rack! I though for sure it was taking a bit of a trip to the floor when Adam in his fog pushed the box towards the camera! I was so focused on it that I had to rewatch the video 😊thank you as usual! One of My favorite movies is the fifth Element!
It's lovely, but I think I'll stick with my Lego ecto 1, probably half the size but you get 90% of the enjoyment of it being pretty close to accurate and the added bonus of building it
Hey, if that helps you sleep at night.
