The trailers only show kids operating the Ecto-1. Maybe that’s the plan, right? I mean, it’s about the next generation of Busters. I can’t imagine a suited Ghostbuster figure in this scale, outside of the kid characters, being able to fit in the driver’s seat. He looks great scale-wise standing next to the car.
I picked the Rebel Fleet Trooper because, from the waist down, he’s close enough to a Ghostbusters jumpsuit: tucked military boots, baggy pants with pockets.
I wish that last line was a Carrie/drug joke. This figure is pretty tiny (on par with the the diminutive, early-1980s Carrie Fisher) and she’s having trouble getting in the car. Princess Wolfhard’s legs just barely clear the gap between the seat and the car’s immense steering wheel. Clone girl sits and fits just fine in any seat in the car. Clone Girl from Jurassic World is standing in for Mckenna Grace, Bespin Leia for Finn Wolfhard, and Rebel Fleet Officer for an adult Ghostbuster in uniform. I grabbed several 1:18th scale figures from my collection. If there are to be figures for this car, you have to precariously perch them on the seat? Eh, big deal, Toyman, right? Good thing I can play out.oh.wait.no figures. My imagination will have to fill that gap for now. We’ve all seen these gizmos in trailers/leaks, but are itching to see them in action.
Popping open the back door, you get the remote control ghost trap, ready to roll out.

That’s a steal for cars in this scale, let alone one that has some notoriously funky licensing deals.Īdded new movie bonuses: suicide door opens for pull out gunner’s seat! The seat is on a swivel, and has some sort of weapon or support arm that lifts up on the right side. The sculpting on the roof rack, dashboard, and all gizmos in the back are superb. The paint detail for this dilapidated, rusted version of the Ecto-1 is near perfect (save for maybe too much black on the front end). Then again, on closer inspection of this “toy”, maybe not.įirst, let’s talk about the good. Wait.what? Does that mean there will be figures coming to fit this car? Again, with the delay of the new GB movie (now pushed to November), maybe Hasbro is holding something back. The website showed the packaging in the same style as the 6in line.but then you get down to the fine print: 1:18th scale. Instant sell out, thanks to scalper-bots and Target’s piss-poor management of their stock. It would be “available” (ha) on a few days later.
They announced it as “Plasma Series”.so was this just a smaller mock up, or dost our eyes deceive us? It looked a bit on the small side in the video, but at the time, no one confirmed the scale. Since taking over, Hasbro has given us hope with a slightly shorter than 6 inch line.short enough for a massive, in-scale car, perhaps? Fast forward a few months into the pandemic.Ghostbusters Afterlife has been delayed, San Diego Comic-Con was canceled (please stay that way), and Hasbro Pluse-con (an online event featuring all of Hasbro’s properties) unveils this car in the hands of Jason Reitman. Mattel couldn’t (or wouldn’t) deliver the Ecto-1 for their 6-in figure line close to a decade ago. Hoo boy.where to start? Well, how about thinking I’d never have the same sense of dread about my favorite property as I did back in the Mattel/Mattycollector days? It’s too early to tell if Hasbro has Hasblown Ghostbusters just yet, but this new “toy” certainly rubs me the wrong way.
