Ghostbusters Afterlife toys are finally hitting the shelves, and ever the man child, I take a look at the toy that I would have loved to pick up as a kid, the Hasbro Ecto 1 Playset! But is it a spiritual successor to the Kenner and Trendmasters toys of yesteryear, or a massive muddled misstep?

I think they were trying to avoid the dangers of spring loading & choking hazards that go Boba Fett's missile launchers discontinued. Thanks bunches VSax'07!🙂

I'm happy to see that Hasbro scaled it with the Real Ghostbusters figures. That's a fun detail meaning all the stuff released there can play alongside this! It is a massive shame that they didn't include opening doors on both sides and the fact that all four Ghostbusters cannot fit inside is a massive shame. Regarding the compatible figures, my local stores are filled with them so I can only assume they got everyone's shipments. Sadly they're all the same body with unique head sculpts, but they are all recognisable and look the business. Unsure where I stand on if I'll collect the line beyond grabbing a Ghostbuster or two for the shelf

If you saw the images of the merchandise, they're releasing figures of older versions of the original ghostbusters in uniform. This has fans saying that they're going to get a significant role in this movie, being in uniform, and most likely busting ghosts. What are your thoughts?

I have all six of the Afterlife plasma series figures on their way to me! Hopefully they get some decent screen time and show up at the end to help the new generation take out the big bad.

Nice video, I would have liked to have seen you also compare this to the playmobil ecto-1 or ecto-1A.. thoes do have places for 4 figures and loads more details.. but they are not really a usable scale with the real ghostbusters figures.

I had to buy almost every new Ghostbusters toy off the internet as UK stores have had next to no Ghostbusters merchandise. I don't know if they were stung by the 2016 stuff peg warming but it's sad seeing so little Ghostbusters representation in stores now.

I get what you're saying, but the playmobil cars exist within their own category. What I'm talking about is the cars for actual action figures such as the RGB and EGB cars.

I'm gonna customise the crap out of this. The new fright features figures are basic, but so awesome looking in that animated style. They deserve a much better vehicle. This ecto looks the part outwardly, but in action it totally underperforms. I'm opening all those doors, removing that gunner seat/mechanism, tidying up the inside and painting that roof rack.

But these afterlife toys that hasbro have made for kids are just cheap tat a far cry from the quality of toys from the 90s. The Trendmasters ecto looks better and that toy is over 20 years old!
