    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.

    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.

      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!

    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 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.

    • @GloucesterLGB
      @GloucesterLGB ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    So does unboxing this remind you, that you still have an ECTO-1 model to finish building? Haven’t seen the kit being worked on in awhile. Would love to see you finish it.

      If i remember correctly, that is a kit that comes out once in a while? So you have to collect all the sub-kits to have the whole lot. He also mentioned that he also works on the kit when he has time. So maybe hé has to wait on the next parts. Or we have to wait for when he has the time.

    In 1982 I drove a real Cadillac ambulance like that as an EMT. We used it on real calls. They were actually made illegal to use that's why you don't see them anymore. It was very difficult to function in the back once the stretcher was in.

    18:20 the lower round-ish bezels on back didn't have red lights on the 1959 Cadillac, they were red reflectors inside. The bullet lights were the only brake/tail lights. The middle white lens was a backup light. Did the ecto-1 swap the reflectors for red lights in those bezels?
