Not a huge fan of Playmobil, but this is a surprisingly good Ecto-1 toy

This seems like the best Ecto-1 toy since the original kenner Ecto-1

And the lights flash in a sequence that simulates a rotator effect. Now I wish I bought this thing when I saw it in Walmart a few years back! Would have been nice to see the lights flash in the dark.

Playmobil are incredibly durable toys. Hopefully this is just the beginning of their licensing. A Playmobil Batmobile or X-Wing would be amazing!

After all these years, FINALLY, Playmobil started embracing franchise brands!

I cannot overstate how much I LOVE this sucker! I'm definitely going to have to chase one down, as soon as funds permit. They captured the look, the sounds -- the whole shebang. It is simply amazing!

OMG just fell in love with this thing, can't wait to see how Stay Puft came out too.

I love how that ECTO-1 car looks, a lot of people are going to buy it just becaus of that car. I am not really crazy about the figures but the car is done so well and right that i just have to get it. Looks way cool! Great review Dan, thanks for showing this.

this looks great,the lights and sounds really make it a home run.

Love the Sega Genesis Ghostbusters music in the background!

The Ecto-1 looks amazing , very impressed.

Just bought one today! Can't wait to put it together! I've been a Playmobil fan since the 70's!!!

Mine came with an extra head light hahaha I'll send it to you ! 😂

Oh wow awesome sound, didn't expect that. The set is super cool but the sound sold me

My 2 nitpicks are: there are 6 fog lights on the Ecto-1's bumper when there should only be 4 and they gave Winston James Brown's hair.

Great job on the review. These Playmobil Ghostbusters toys are really awesome. I hope we get other licensed properties besides the upcoming How to Train your Dragon toys.

Awesome video Dan.😊🖒

Hey Dan, could you put the proton blast into the hole in the trap? Would recreate the trap beam pretty well. ;)

hi Pixel Dan what a brilliant review mate . quick question and your personal advice if i were to buy 2 of these sets use 1 for the original set and the second one to customize of my own . what paint would i need to paint the car ? Many Thanks From A Big Fan :)

It looks good! I'm very tempted.

Hey great review I got the ghostbusters ecto 1 playmobil I love it and I have stay puft to

I ordered this a few days ago and it’s coming tomorrow!

if you call Playmobil they will ship you a replacement piece for free. I've bought hundreds of sets in my life, and I've had maybe 5 that were missing a piece.

I just got this set and the firehouse a few days ago and ironically I got an extra front light piece

This is the only one of these sets I want because I'm not a big Ghostbusters fan, but I always thought the Ecto-1 looked cool plus it comes with my two favorite characters of Ghostbusters.

mine was mising a piece too im from mexico and here they release the sets early in may

Good morning, PixelDan... Thank you for showing the playmobil ecto-1, this is my favorite topic, im a big fan ghostbusters geek since 1988, Fina;;y the ecto-1 has lights and siren, as you know too every ecto-1s in the past no functions at all, opening doors sure, some version do like the kenner ecto-1, cant wait to see more playmobil, did you picked up all the gb playmobil sets, and does your wife or son love the gb sets? Also everyone loves the firehouse set than ecto-1 because its a biggest set and lots of playing features in the firehouse and yet in can fit in the firehouse garage, is that cool? Oh by the way, did you already owned lego's gn firehouse o ectp-1 for 1984 and 2016? thanks PixelDan

If you just got this set, you could improvise some dialogue between Winston and Janine. Those two never hang out much. "So, uh... what's up?" "Nothing much. You?" "Oh, you know, the same. Bustin' ghosts. The ush." "I hear ya."

That there is a fun looking toy!

the pke meter can be placed on top of the roof. mine also came with five headlights and five clips for the ladder and hose.

I’ve just received the ecto 1 a from mobile absolutely fantastic model, but mine was missing the 2 wing mirrors so I have emailed playmobil and they have sent them out in the post.

Love the channel. Santa just brought this to my son for Christmas. My kit included an extra headlight piece. Let me know through the comments if you want it and we'll send it to you.

Asking for my birthday the ect 1 is very nice!

I have this set, and I love it. The best-looking Ecto-1 I've seen yet!

Dan! You can contact their parts section on their site and they should send you the missing parts! My firehouse came without 5 little pieces. Hopefully i will get those soon!

OMG... this really looks so awesome and really cheap (157 Euro for the complete set). I will buy this one, because OMG this is really amazing and a great reminder to my childhood. How awesome is this! But you know, sometimes, I wish Playmobil would have made a playset from the first two TMNT movies. Golly, that would be fantastic! But hey, maybe we will see it one day, after all they made a Ghostbusters Classic set. Oh please, Playmobil... make it happen TuT

For twenty years I have wanted playmobil to do license properties - I am a happy camper!

Hi Dan, hey bro, did you found the missing light of your ecto 1? if not, mine came with an extra light, let me know if you still need it brother

Hey, I know this comment is 5 years late, but I just recently bought a second hand set just like this and, being second hand, it was missing several pieces. I got in touch with Playmobil customer support and gave them a list of all the parts I was missing, they sent all of them to me, free of charge. I live in the uk, so I don't know if things work the same for the US, but they seem on the whole to be great at getting missing parts sent out to customers, even if the customer has lost or broken the original parts themselves. So if the missing light is still an issue all this time later that would be my recommendation.

did you ever get a replacement head light? it just so happens, mine had a extra one I could send it to you

I just bought one of these the other night. I love it!! Mine came with extra parts. I had an extra headlight and extra hubcap and an extra door for the ghost trap. I wanted one before seeing your review. But after i seen the review it made me want one even more. So now i have one woo hoo!!

I ordered one off eBay, and there’s a headlight missing on mine. I know you can contact Playmobil, but I can’t find one for Australia contact.

I think the Ghostbusters Playmobil sets well be Awesome and good video review pixel Dan

I Think this Toy looks amazing but there’s one thing that Bothers me from not Buying it. The Ecto 1 has 4 Bottom Head Lights not 6 that’s just my Inner Fan Talking but Come On

did you get a 4th light for your car?

Great that the proton packs fit in the back, but with these sets you'll be collecting FIVE Ghostbusters. Where does Janine's go?

I was having some trouble but then i followed the book and i succeeded ( i had leftover stickers so i put them in the place i wanted them to go)

Funny watching this and watching Ghostbusters (80s) at same time. I kinda want to see playmobil TMNT. IDW crossover part of why.

very cool

I want this more than a silver play button lol!

minimates ghostbusters would go really well with the ecto 1

Anyone know what, if any, Ecto-1 looks okay displayed with the Mattel movie ghostbusters?

sweet!!

Just like it except the 59 Cadillac does not have THREE BLUE signal lamps on the front bumper. Still, not exactly a deal breaker! It gives it a distinguishing look from other Ecto-1s.

hey Dan, mine came with an extra headlight. If you've not got one sorted, let me know and I'll post it ✌

Playmobil isn't something I'll collect, but I gotta say it's still awesome.

Is this based on the 1984 movie or that thing that came out last summer?

Front bumper looks wrong, wheelcovers from the wrong year Cadillac, hatchback should be a door and it’s a pity they didn’t do partially tinted glass. Otherwise they got the Miller Meteor shape very well, far better than Kenner did. Love the siren. Slime is a great touch. Janine’s an odd choice.

I thought the sound would be like in 1st movie when they get out of garage to catch ghosts with movie soundtrack played exactly like in movie with all lights. Oh well... Also, as u can take.of whole roof, I expect detailed painting. Nice I felt it missed my expectations.

Can you fit gi joe scaled figures inside?

My ecto-1a was also missing a headlight

I love it

Missing headlight piece, convert this into the Ecto-1 in the upcoming GB3 2020 movie.

i got mine, is beaqtiful

Yo lo tengo es excelente 👍👍👍👍

Mine came with an extra headlight. If you still need it I'll send it to you.

here in mexico, they are gone from store, and is not going to get back againg

Sega genesis ghostbuster background music!!

I always preferred my Extreme Ghostbusters Ecto-1 toy. It looked so much better than the original. But this one has that beat.

stupid question but wth xD Minimates figures can fit perfect inside the Ecto-1? ^^"

The one thing that does bother me, and it always does with toys, is that the doors do not open.

Mine got a missing piece too the tiny blue light in the left in the back

its ok i have alot of missing pieces on that set

i think i got your missing piece... i got 5 of those headlights😉

I wish i could get all four Ghostbusters without having to purchase all the sets :(

Politicamente correcto...

Controversial this, but I always thought the Kenner Ecto 1 sucked! Felt so cheap, and even though it was Ecto 1 shaped, just wasn't convincing to an 11 year old GB fan. The awful way the "lights" were just a modification to the window plastic, no, just no. I got the Joyride 1:18th which is awesome, and I got a japanese collectible model too which is awesome, I will get this too, but so disappointed that it comes with Janine, instead of one of the others, bit cynical on playmobil's part, "buy the other toys in the range to get the correct figures" but hey. Really Janine should come with the firehouse. I'll get the range anyway, so yeah

I'll bet G.I. Joe figures would fit, but I do know they don't walk through doorways, they must duck

I am disappointed the doors do not open.

I only want the car

Just nitpicking mabey I'm stupid but in the movie I thought the Back door open sideways

i will buy Now wendsday in toysrus Germany Kids day the for 34.98 Euro

First!

It's rubbish don't buy it, it looks real cool, plus this guy makes it seem real easy to put together. Getting the wheels into the tires correctly I only managed to do once. Yes to one of them. The difficulty level of this is like one of those giant Games Workshop metal Battle Fleet Gothic Imperial Cruisers. Which was supposed to be a super glue job only, but in fact turned out to be green stuff and a metal pin drilled into the centre. But I can't do something like that on my kids new toy, it's just dangerous.

It's ok, Not perfect. The logo is not correct, the three areas that should be black aren't, the back door on Ecto isn't a hatch. it's supposed to open sideways and the doors should open. And for the price We shouldn't have to assemble it.
