Amazing collection. From my experience, never touch anything if you don't have to. I learned the hard way.
Simply AMAZING! Museum-quality piece right there. Thanks for showing. Who would have thought we would be getting such incredible, high-quality collectibles from a 30-year-old movie. Outstanding!
huuum I wouldnt call this a museum quality piece lol!!!
Despite some of its minor misgivings I love it. Displayed with the figures looks absolutely stunning. I love it.
Exactly. And nothing is perfect. You and I both know you can pick anything apart. But as a whole with the figures, you're just not gonna find anything better.
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles can you give a link where you bought it?
Great review! And that “diorama” at the end is amazing! Congratulations!
Yeah, it really completes it nicely.
Hands down the best review on Ecto 1
Thanks!
Congratulations, you got a great piece that looks like a part of a museum of movies. Have lots of fun¡
Just EPIC! Congrats on a killer display! That redefines the expression " conversation piece".
Thanks!
Best review yet nice man great video as always
Thanks man
So awesome! Love it!!! Congrats on such a great piece Nostalgia!!!!😀
Thanks!
This thing is stupid cool!!!! Love the video my dude!👊🏾🤘🏾✌🏾
Thanks brother!
A remarkable piece of work. It's simply amazing that something like this can be made.
I wanted to buy this but price and space kept me from moving ahead.
I still don't know where it's gonna go. lol
Just found your channel, awesome collection! I missed out on the OG ECTO-1, but I smashed pre-order on the new Afterlife ECTO-1 💯💯
Hell yeah man! That new one is DOPE! If I didn't already have this one I would pick that one up.
For $2000 the seams in the plastic on the bumper and those red decals on the rear fins you pointed out are absolute deal breakers. For that kind of money there shouldn't be any flaws, especially not ones that are so amateur hour as those are.
no kidding. I would have to be insane to spend that much on one model, let alone one with such glaring quality issues.
@@lostnumbr This guy wasted money for a fucking toy model.
For me just the price is a deal breaker, yikes.
1300 sideshow on a payment plan . I guess you missed out lol.. it’s a great piece ... you want one now 2300 to 2600 good luck.. you can mod the lights and siren if your picky very simple
Excellent review. I think we all have the same issues on this. It over all an amazing piece. Congrats on it.
Thanks. Do you have one too?
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles no mine should be coming in soon. But I'm a little weary of it. The doors and the rotating lights are a bit of an issue. But at the same time it looks so dam good.
I agree with you, but for me I won't be messing with the doors and lights, and as a static model it's awesome.
Great piece of art in your hands...
I agree.
Wow that is amazing!
Awesome bro I love the collection too thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Congrats, what a beast, gr8 unboxing and review.
Thanks!
Thats authentic sound for the light bar
Thanks for sharing!
This looks amazing
That is awesome!!!! Hopefully I can get my brother one sometime! Would make a nice piece to decorate his new place!!
It's expensive but worth it IMO.
This is AMAZING. One of the best models I've seen.
Great review from a hardcore Ghostbusters fan they forgot the siren swich box that would be above the rear view mirror other then that its looks great just like the real thing also the siren and GB song should have been added in Thank you for playing the GB theme song in the back round not many youtubers do that while reviewing this car hopefully i can save up and add this to my collection.
You're welcome! It's worth saving for.
Holy sheeeeeeet!!!!! Now that’s a fantastic piece! So detailed. It’s HUGE. My question. Where are you going to display it? Are you in your new house yet? Are the Ghostbuster figures Hot Toys? Again, spectacular.
I haven't moved yet, and I have no idea where it will go for now. LOL
The figures and Ecto are from Blitzway
Congrats brother!!
Thanks man!
I don't think the vehicle is oversized compared to the figures, you have to remember that's a huge Cadillac.
The 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Hearse wheelbase was 160 inches. That taken down to 1:6 scale comes out to 26.66 inches. The Blitzway 1:6 Ecto-1 is 28.12 inches. It is lager than it should be.
awesome. this thing really stands out
For sure.
Great vid bro 👍🏾
Great video my friend!
Thanks brother
Wow! Beautiful piece. The 1:6 vehicles released are usually not true 1:6 scale which is why this looks "too big." If you search Sideshow's history, a 1:6 diorama was done with the Falcon in the Death Star docking bay. It really puts things in perspective.
Stunning
makes me want the eaglemoss Ecto more now after seeing reviews on this.
The Eaglemoss is a great Ecto!
Hi @@HorrorMonsterCollectibles :),
I am working for Eaglemoss and I love what you are doing. Just wanted to reach out to see if you were interested in linking up for a sponsorship.
Thank you
Amina
amazing !!
G.B. totally falls RIGHT into what we love.Always a place in the horror field classic,s. This ride is WAY too cool bro !
Thanks man, and I agree!
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles Ya ,you still hittin the high notes !..watch Enquinox yet?
No, I'm slacking. hahaha
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles thats wut weekends are for - : ) have a good one...girl just rolled out ,so i,ll heading back to bed. later
It would be cool to have a large scale version of Ecto-1. Good review, you pointed out the negatives which I agree could have been designed out better, and the positives are correct as well. I think for most people that do buy this, are not going to be pushing it around the floor, so a power adapter rather than batteries would be my choice.
Great point about having some kinda AC power.
Dope video 👍🏾
Glad ya liked it!
Congratulations,
This collectible is beautiful.
:-)
Thanks!
So true, when we were kids nothing like this was out.
Magnifique merci :) !
Sweet!
Top level❗
That looks cool 👍
Thanks!!
For the amount of money they want for this thing, I am not impressed. Fingerprints, paint splatter, decals used to take the place of paint, incorrect headlight functions. It seems like a half assed rush job to be honest. With that, the concept is cool, but it falls really, really short.
Sovereign Knight , that was going to be my comment. Well said.
I concur
You could buy a real car for that money
the real wiring looks like shit too. They could have at least tried to make some of it look like the car's proper headlight wires, and then the strobes could be made to look like Ray added them in, which he did.
I would not spend that much for a toy that little kids play with.
That thing is massive! Looks great and love the detail under the hood!
It's huge brother!!
Now this is f##king awesome 👍
Love them look excellent
Thanks brother!
hi i have a question is this size of ecto 1 is good for mezco 1:12 ghostbuster if so were I can buy this thank you for your info
No, this is 1:6 scale, so it would be 2 times the scale size. Also, this has been sold out for quite some time and it goes from anywhere between $3,000-$5,000.
Stuning !
the attention to detail is simply ridiculous
Lovin the creepshow pillow
I wonder how hard it would be to open up the rotating light assemblies and just offset the rotors a little bit so they don't all rotate completely in unison like that... It would add some more realism/authenticity.
idk...if they aren't glued together, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard.
Te felicito!!! Espectacular ese ecto 1
Great review. Been waiting a long time for this. You should also check out Eaglemoss Ecto 1. 1:8 scale. Its 31 inches. Great build.
I have heard great things about it. Do you have it?
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles yes. I pre ordered it a year ago and have just received the first 2 issues. Eaglemoss is great. I'm also a year into the Back to the future delorean. Also 1:8 scale. Over 81 LED bulbs. You really need to get them. Deagostini also is a great company. I'm building the 1:2 scale R2D2 working replica. They also have the X Wing and a massive 1:1 scale millennium Falcon replica of the original model used for filming. All of these including the ECTO 1 are around the same price of about $2500. Up to about $3000 with modifications. Theres also a company called Hatchett that has a 1:4 scale Terminator Endoskeleton
Horror Life Awesome man! I’ll look into it!
Didn't the window tint get put on the version from the second movie?
I also think it was the inside headlight flashed on the second version too.
Ecto-1 did have the same window tint as the Ecto-1a, but I am not sure about the flashing inside headlights.
In the first movie the headlight did not flash on purpose the wiring was faulty and during filming it would go on and off. And when the car leaves the firehouse it just happened to be acting up thats why you see it come on when the car turns after leaving the firehouse and goes by the camera. Back then movies let a lot of glitches happen and not go back and reshoot because they didn’t have the budget like they do today and there where no post cgi to correct anything.
Great honest review like always...came back for another look with the new model our. What do you think of the new Ecto 1 from Ghostbusters afterlife?
I think it looks awesome. and I like it better than this version. But it's not worth 1K more than what this cost.
Who else is also excited for the ECTO-1 based on how it was seen of Ghostbusters: Afterlife coming soon from Blitzway?
6:15 - You are correct, the high-beams never flashed. Also, the turn signal bulbs were white, not amber. Technically only 2 of those 4 lights at the bottom were ever turn signals, the other two were fog lights. I own a '59 Caddy replica Ecto. On my car I decided that "screen accurate" or not, I wanted 4 x amber turn signals like you would expect, so I altered my car. Ever since then ( about 2010 ) I've seen comics, toys, t-shirts etc that feature those 4 lights as amber. I feel partially to blame. Those lights were all white, and the headlights never flashed.
9:59 - This misconception could be my bad too. I put LED lights on the round-reflective rings of my Ecto so now I see it appearing as canon in other media. A normal '59 Caddy wouldn't have those.
Man, I can't imaging owning a 1:1 ECTO-1! That's badass brother!
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles Open your wallet, shake it upside down, observe as there's nothing left to fall out. Welcome to owning an Ecto, your training is complete.
hahahaha
I was wondering if they would accept livers or organs as payment? I need to have one of these man! they look so fantastic!
I hear ya man! I had to save up a while for this one. lol
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles i converted a barbie car into an ecto for my ghostbusters custom 12 inch figure. Looks decent bur this one is a work of art.
Great review, when mine arrives I’ll probably go with one of the Ghostbusters inside the car, with the other 3 out.
Thanks for sharing....
I know you're excited!
Ray should go inside the car :)
Stunning! A lot of details and great alikeness. A must have for any Ghostbusters fans out there.
I'm glad you like it!
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles I am so happy that they make pieces like this one. All in one package.
Browsed whole internet but couldn't find any place where i can get one!! Have to say its so gorgeous!!
By the way does the crew figures avail with ecto??
Thanks! I would check eBay. As far as the crew, they are only available separately.
Great video, really nicely done. I'm still on the fence about getting it. So close to nabbing one. Trouble is I know once they hit the secondary market down the track, the price is going to be even more insane.
Yeah, it will be close to double in the secondary market.
Are we talking double as in a few hundreds or thousandfolds?
Jorel Lonesome I can see it going for 2.5k and up in future years, especially with the new movie coming out.
Jeez!
Yeah, things like this usually gain a lot in the secondary market. But you never know, it might actually go for less.
The instruction say the card is defalted with a siren..but my card was blank
Same
It is really cool, but I am not paying out $2000 for that thing.
2K?! HECK NO!
1390$
You could probably make a real ecto for that price.
It's $3K in Australia.
$2100 in Canada
At 3:41 the directions state that the SD card comes pre loaded with the siren. Is this not true then?
Mine did not. But I am not sure about others.
My card is blank
Gotcha, when mine comes I’ll have an mp3 with the siren ready then, thanks for the replies
Are you gonna get a 2016 Ghostbusters one?
I'm one of the few that actually like that move (in the mindset that it's its own thing), but no, I wouldn't get one even if they made one which I don't know of any that are being made.
Awesome 🤤
If I had the money I'd definitely pick one up 👍
Totally agree would have been better if it looked more weathed
Yeah, that can be added easily though. But I do wish it had been like that from the factory.
The top of the roof is around shoulder height in the movie give or take an inch or 2. The scale seems spot on.
It's very close. I measured out the wheelbase and width between this and the actual 1959 Caddy and it was slightly larger. If I remember right, Blitzway said they made it slightly bigger to make it easier to fit the figures inside. But just by looking at it you can't really tell.
And if I remember correctly, the figures were not all 100% exactly 1:6 scale.
How big is that Slimmer in cm
i think you could mod this to be just right. at least this is what i would do if i could pick one up second hand.
for the front flashing lights you could take the wire coming off of the non flashing front lights and wire the flashing ones to those.
for the bumper molding you could take off the bumper. sand down the part and respray it to a chrome you would like and same to match the others.
could peel off the vinyl sticker and then paint that with the same red.
for the rotating light noise perhaps there is a way to make it silent depending on how the rotating mechanism is working (i presume a load of cogs which are making the noise) perhaps a rubber band system could be modded just need to see how its all working inside to see if its possible.
but i think if you had the siren sound file play when you press the button it would make the rotating sound less prominent.
thanks for uploading this.
i bought the hot toys delorean a few years back and was really disappointed with that i may sell that to get this.
but i cant get this without the ghostbusters! so am left looking at them on youtube instead haha
All great ideas brother.
the front 2 lights did strobe. They are aircraft landing strobes, they are not synced. But you can see them flash when the Ecto first leaves the station.
I'm pretty sure it's been said that was due to loose wire connections during that shot.
Fucking love this 😍😍😍😍😍😍 new sub & I’ll be hunting around your channel! The interior shots are fabulous! I’m watching on my tv & trust me, the small screen you’re using does wonders! I’m highly impressed with the dets of car. I’d play with this all the time 🥰🥰🥰🥰. I’m surprised they didn’t make RGB’s Ecto-1 that would’ve been cool too! I have that one as a hot wheels.
Thanks brother! How do you like the Hot Wheels one? I heard it's pretty rad.
Horror & Monster Collectibles it’s gorgeous! For being so small, it captures the full detail of the show car excellently.
That's awesome! It would be cool to have both the Ecto-1 and Ecto-1a in the same scale together. Did Hot Wheels make the A too?
Horror & Monster Collectibles Yeah about 4 yrs ago when answer the call came out.
Sweet. I need to check those out then.
Worth every dime😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
So the siren noise isn’t there by default? The instructions say it does. They had the siren in the original promo. So how does that work? God you would hope it could mask the motor.
No, the card is empty.
do the figures sit in the car?
Yes! All 4 will go in the car if you wish.
Nice piece! I actually like the fact that it uses a micro SD card, that way there'd be a way to adjust the sound to our liking (and maybe even splice-in quotes from the characters from the movies)
However, the price... man 2K is steep for something that has all those flaws. I'm sure all those flaws are easy to mod out, but at that price makes it too difficult for anyone to want to attempt it without feeling as if they're damaging it.
Yeah, if you know what you're doing, it wouldn't be that hard to fix the issues, but like you said, at this price you shouldn't have to.
Can you do a video of the Ghostbusters action figures in there Ecto-1
No, sorry. I have them all set up for standing with all their gear on, and it's just too much of a pain to switch back and forth.
Real Force 4 lightbars are very noise as well. I don't like the wiring just kind of laying on the roof. I cant wait for mine.
I agree brother.
Can the figures sit in there?
Yes! They all will fit.
great review. u should check out Hot Toys 1/6 vehicles. weathering and better paint would make it look less like an oversized plastic kids toy. that said i can't wait for mine
Yeah, they did a great job on their vehicles! Hot Toys are usually pretty great.
Mate , where did you buy this??
I'd just do a search for it. The places that I know are are currently sold out. Maybe try Big Bad Toy Store.
Since it's been 2 years since you got this, is there any sign of yellowing?
No
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles that's good. It's one of the reasons I thinked twice of preordering it
Hi. My question to you is how do I find a 1/16 scale like the one you have. I have one from EAGLEMOSS and it was $3,000 new. One order part at a time. They won't serll the whole item at one time. Also please get back to me. Thank you.
I've seen them sold on sideshow and Big Bad Toy Store, but I am not sure if they are still available.
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles Ok, thank you. I'll try to find one out there some place. I'de also like to find Adam West and Burt Ward Ford Batmobile in that scale as well. Man would'nt that be nice.....but again thank you.
I will not scrutinise thus. Wow the detailing is amazing!!..noise and a little minor details don't bother me.
Yeah, everything has it's problems, but overall, this is a great piece.
Where gab I buy THIS car ????
I think they are sold out, but try Sideshow Collectibles, Big Bad Toy Store or Ebay
Wooooooooo hoooooo!!
As a lightbar enthusiast, Id say the noise from the rotators on this model is pretty accurate, on the real deal(police cars and such), they arent exactly quiet. I am quite amazed at the detail they put into the lightbars and hope to see scale modeling catch up with this in smaller scales(1:18, 1:24)
There are some good smaller scale Ecto's out there. Eaglemoss is one...
Классный был мультсериал !👍
Is this a playable r posesble
rw:You Lucky Sonamagun!X-D
If they made an Ecto-1A I'd buy it in a heartbeat
I have always like the look of the Ecto-1 over the A. What about it do you like better?
@@HorrorMonsterCollectibles I can't really give you a reason why, I just do. Don't get me wrong, I love both cars, but I guess I just like how much more the 1A has. The company slogan and phone number on the sides, more roof equipment, more flashing lights, and those big electric signs. It was over the top, which made it absolutely ridiculous, but also beautiful at night with all those lights running.
Great points!
Mine is shipping soon. I had to sacrifice Scorpion Alien for it but Ecto is more iconic.
I agree brother!
They really screwed up those wings at the back, but other than that, really, it's fantastic
May i know the actual measurement? Length, Width, heights
No, sorry. I put it back in storage.
My real rangerover has the code 3 Amber rotators, as you can hear the beacons spinning for real
back in the day could be found at any woolworth
How much was this gorgeous ecto 1
$1,500 if I remember correctly.
Did you get yours from sideshow
Yes
Was shipping alot .. I'm on the waitlist to get one
$200
Okay thanks
so its semi wire tuck
💥👍🏻💥
Maaaan !
