I'm not happy with the back seats, or the steering wheel issue, but I did end up getting it, just to go with the o-ring ghost busters figure set that I also plan to buy at least one of. I loved the original movie. Now we need a decent firehouse for them...
Amazing review! Mine is shipping now and will be here soon. I missed out on the afterlife version. But this is the one I prefer. I am with you. I hope everyone who wants the figures can get them. This is EXACTLY the set I wanted in 1984. Looks like it was worth the wait. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the review on this. Wanted to make some points. 1. The GB figures will probably fit. But maybe only Three. (Driver, Passenger, Rear Back seat) The Steering wheel might get bent at the bottom though. They will be smaller then that Gi-Joe fig you used cause like you said he has a large helmet on. 2. The rear left door does not open because that door on the Ecto in the Movies never opened. There was always Equipment against that door as far as I know so it was made not to open. 3. I do not like how on this new one the Chrome/Silver Edge on the top of the Tail Fin is not there yet when you showed the Older one It was. Why they would exclude that I have no Idea. Makes it look a bit more cheap... Again thank you for this review being up so soon.
Great review and comparison. Thanks. 😊 I saw from one reviewer who asked the hasbro rep if all four figures would fit in the Ecto, she said only two are able to fit. 😔 I wonder though… since this is 1/18 scale, how does this Ecto compare to the 1/18 Hotwheels version and if the O-ring figures could fit in the Hotwheels version?
Great review! I ordered on release date. Should be arriving this week. I must say I will be a little upset if the figures don’t fit in the ecto-1, especially in the rear.
is it worth the 60 bucks no is it worth the 35 I paid for mine after using a gift card YES. I love mine I cannot wait for the proper scaled buster figs to come out. I am so tempted to give it a little detailing like a black wash in the grille and hood area and the left rear door I am for sure gonna paint that back end gas cap silver instead of molded white and I may take it apart and paint up the dash or at least the steering wheel etc.
So, if anybody here is like me & wants an Ecto-1 for their 6” Plasma figures, you’re gonna want / need to construct one yourself w/ various pieces here & there. Amazon has lots of stuff, even NON-GB-related items you can use. Even to make a GB2 ECTO-1A! Happy Hunting.
Egon: Peter, did you forget to lock the Ecto-1? Peter looks up to the sky in disgust: **sigh** why do you ask, Egon? Egon: because it looks like a terrorist just made off with our car. ...meanwhile, somewhere on the West Coast... Doc Brown: ITS THE LIBIANS!!!!
This thing screams for some light-up flashers and sound features like in the movie. It'd be nice to have an opening hood too for the price. $60 is kinda steep for this. Lookin forward to gettin the 3.75" figs to go with mine and I'm hoping they'll release a nice, detailed, toyetic firehouse which I'm sure won't be cheap either.
It’s only worth it IF you’re ok w/ NO real seriously quality movie accurate figures riding in them or don’t want the lights & sounds. And you want it as a cool-looking display piece. STILL $60 IS waaaay TOO MUCH for this thing. RIDICULOUS!! I bought one on Amazon because there was confusion & I thought it was the correct size, or close enough to work with to modify. NOPE. I issued the return & refund & put it back in the box 📦. The old 1987 Ecto-1, (other) Afterlife & Frozen Empires are much closer to size. And those 3 each were NOT $60, except all together.
That is a freaking nice piece... you are 1 lucky dude 😅 yeah Joy for me watching ur video, please...veery niice...I thank you ❤from Bòrat . I will be watching the more I like.. you yes🫸 high five 🫷👨🏻
Mine is on the way
And the ''tiniest proton wand'' is in fact the handle used to deploy the gunner seat.

Playmobil makes a decent firehouse that works for 3.75 figures.

@@JamesMcCoy-f5c there is actually a Haslab going right now for a 6” ecto 1
When and where are the O-ring figures going to be released?
February 2025
September to December 2024 and pre orders are up now with various sellers.
Òh boy, my ectoplasm is stirring a lott now.....👻😍
99% sure this is not pulse exclusive. I got mine from Big Bad and it's en route to me now.
Gotta love Hasbro’s double dipping way$…
I must be tripping cuz I don’t remember those grey cables coming off the sides
They're antenna and they are on the car

The Playmobil Ecto-1 has great lights and sounds. I wonder if they could be kitbashed in somehow.
Can you fit three figures in the front seat?
yes, it's possible

Why they released this and not the figures yet is beyond me.
Because they probably used a modified mold for the ecto 1 that's already been established while the figures is a new mold/process to make and package.
@@poettdn67 Makes sense!
