Weathering does wonders! Adam unboxes the Blitzway 1/6th replica of the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the modified version of the iconic Ghostbusters vehicle as seen in the 2021 film. Comparing it to the pristine 1984 model he has in his collection, Adam spots the differences in not only the beautiful weathered paintwork, but the structural changes made to the interior to accommodate features like the swing-out seat and RTV ramp. Plus, a light-up 1/6 proton pack!

@Bad_Wolf_Media Ай бұрын

@@Puretea4711It's not overpriced, it's just expensive. Those two words are not interchangeable. Knowing the amount of work that goes into this stuff, and the limited creation run, it's a high-end collectible, not something you'll find on a Walmart shelf. I'll never own one, but that still doesn't mean it's overpriced, it just means it's priced out of my range.

The gunner seat felt like a nod to the old cartoon with all the crazy gadgets, loved that addition. And it makes total sense from a "if this were a real world with problems to solve" perspective, since the original crew would have absolutely encountered fast ghosts they couldn't chase on foot.

I was at my neighborhood Target a couple of days ago and in the toy section saw some Ghostbusters toys. Among them were Hasbro's attempts at reissuing Kenner's old Real Ghostbusters stuff from the late 80s/early 90s, including action figures of the team with the "stretchy mouths" when you handle the arms and such, but the standout on the shelves was the Ecto-1. I looked a little closer at it and it turned out that it wasn't a recreation of the Real Ghostbusters Ecto-1, but _had the gunner seat_ and was the Afterlife/Frozen Empire Ecto-1 instead with a paint job and decals to simulate the rest of the Real Ghostbusters line. We never had the Ecto-1 as kids, Real Ghostbusters or live-action Ghostbusters, only the "Ecto-3" (some roll-cage looking fly-swatter-like grabber vehicle), so I'm considering getting one anyways just to appease my inner child since it's under $30.

The movie was fantastic, it was exciting to see the phonograph and the ice sculptures!

Marvelous unboxing, I have the Lego version which obviously isn't as big, has no lights with stickers for the rust patches but in every other sense it's the same... from the gunner seat that pushes out via a panel on the opposite side to the RV trap and drop down release and as you said about the size compared to the Delorean the Lego variant is the same Ecto dwarfs it. The weathering on that model is insanely beautiful, thanks for sharing.

Back in the 90's I made a "Ghostbusters"-logo for my quake team (FPS game) The UnWanted (TUW). It had a classic quake player upper body in the typical forbidden-sign, like the ghost busters logo. What I notice was that I also had a problem with the angle of the "dash", due to that the neck and body needs to reach thru and the other arm on the underside, so the traditional 45 degrees angle wasn't working, but I also had to change mine slightly.
