Adam unboxes and review the largest scale model vehicle ever to arrive at the studio: the massive 1/6th scale Ghostbusters Ecto-1 from Blitzway via BigBadToyStore! This is an insanely detailed replica of the original Ecto-1 as it appeared in the first Ghostbusters film, illuminuated throughout with LED lights and even the engine fully modeled under the hood. It's a rare collectible that leaves Adam speechless, and he can't wait to weather it up in a future build!

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.

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!

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 8 ай бұрын

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 beautiful, really stunning. If only I had space to put this somewhere in my home!

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.

That was my 1st thought when this came up in my feed: don't you have a model of that you haven't finished?

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.

If Adam got his kit from Eaglemoss, that company went bust and stopped shipping kits out without warning. I was curious whether Adam ever addressed it?
