Hasbro Ghostbusters: Afterlife Plasma Series ECTO-1 Video Review

[@UltimateSenshi]

I hope they do a plasma series of the clean ecto 1 from the original film, I wouldn't mind a Ghostbusters 2 one aswell.

[@supermariodiego]

coming to this 2 years later watching this because of todays reveals. New 1984 ecto one and 1:18 scale figures to go along with it!

[@darthrizzen9349]

Thanks for the review. I feel this is a strange product... On one hand, the plastic body, weird hinges, breakaway door and unpainted details (molded in proton pack, clean light bar) make it feel like a toy. In fact it’s the same price as Playmobil’s Ecto-1 and 1A. On the other hand, the sculpt, exterior paint (the cracked logo is impressive) official license and standard 1/18 scale for model cars make it feel like a display piece. From afar at least. I think they didn’t want to go with 1/12 scale like the figures due to size. Lego’s Aftermath Ecto-1 is a near perfect fit for 1/12 (I managed to sit SH Figuarts Tony Stark at the wheel) and it’s a beast. It will absolutely not fit in any display space I have except a bookshelf. Hasbro would have needed to charge a lot more than 60€ for something like this, which would probably interest only a niche of die hard Ghostbusters fans in the end. I completely understand your disappointment. But I think it was practically inevitable due to industrial toy constraints. Hasbro simply aren’t Hot Toys.

My Wishlist for Ghostbusters: Plasma Series: *Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (1984 film) *Slimer *Zombie Taxi Driver with his steering wheel ripped off and with his taxi cab as accessories (1984 film) *Ghost Librarian (1984 film) *Muncher *Clean Ecto-1 (1984 film) *Modified Ecto-1 (Ghostbusters 2 1989 film) *Rookie *Louis Tully Ghostbuster *Scoleri Brothers (Ghostbusters 2 1989 film) *Ivo Shandor *Vigo (Ghostbusters 2 1989) I Hope Hasbro they will make these missing figures.

[@ramtruck21]

they need to have the siren and lights working.

[@Rocket1377]

Agreed. No excuse when their competitor managed to do it.

[@power-upstudios794]

It really bothers me that the plasma series ecto1 isn't scaled for the plasma series figures

[@blood852000]

Damn right

[@kevinsisler9379]

I use my Stranger Things Mike figure for the correct scale. Works well, though the figure isn't as detailed, but it is still Finn Wolfhard.

[@shadowunderrated3861]

The Creators Should of Installed The Famous Siren Sound Effects on the Ecto 1

[@kunjiklub]

Nice review. Appreciate your willingness to venture to other lines for the fan collector community

[@optibotimus]

I review a lot of things outside of Transformers.......

[@popculturewatchtower8945]

Really disappointed it doesn’t fit the figures which is the only reason I passed on it.

[@titan-tm7kl]

Pretty sure the figures are meant to go in another version they released that's a bit boxier and toy looking like the kenner version

[@popculturewatchtower8945]

I always wonder The car was stored for a long time in the movie. Who installed the gunner seat And turned the 1a back into 1 ?

[@jasongradyphstiger6179]

I can not wait for ghostbusters afterlife now I have to wait for it come out on November.

[@jimbear62]

I think this is the best detailed Ecto-1 so far (in my opinion) Just disappointed that for the price, it doesn't have at least lights

[@titan-tm7kl]

@Rob Cook Playmobil isn't 10 Times better in regards to the interior this one has a fairly detailed rear section with the computers etc Playmobil doesn't it's only sections to put Proton packs and figures etc

[@Rocket1377]

Yes, but we don't have any figures for the Hasbro one. At the moment, the Playmobil one is the total package.

[@princeaphan8274]

I want to see the movie already!

[@Ol_Lochy]

Oh my god it’s gorgeous

[@RobertDeFlora]

It's because the car is what the focus point is on..wasn't meant to have figurines to go inside

[@ryanhunter6832]

Nicely done!

[@rlnsoto6330]

Do you still have your toy story collection toys?

[@jimbear62]

Due to the success of the Spengler Wand and Proton Pack Maybe Hasbro will Haslab an Ecto-1

[@tripletscordero8946]

Hey Paul I know this is off topic but do you still drive that old yellow camero from back in the day?

[@optibotimus]

Yeah sold it about 2 years ago now

[@an67gel48]

If I showed this to anybody they would think that it was buried in dirt for a couple of weeks

[@kidwajagstang]

Wonder how the “new vintage” movie likeness figures fit with this Ecto-1?? Even though those figures have their own Ecto-1 that seems like a reimagining or Afterlife version of the vintage Ecto vehicle. Glad it doesn’t have that grappling hook. Looks like it would fit a proton pack rack in back perfectly. Can’t wait to see the custom jobs people make with the new new old Ecto-1!!

[@edmundorios5024]

Love your videos

[@defenderprime8046]

I also really like the look of this Ecto-1 car, it's quite amazing looking and well done, but not to scale with the figures that came out a few months ago? That just doesn't cut it for collectors, you want your figures to go inside the car in a display, the scale is all wrong...

[@psychodfunk]

Marketing. Sony, iPhone. Just examples.

[@FDNProductions]

Apparently, theres gonna be a 3.75” scale figure series that goes with this ecto-1. My guess is that hasbro is making the bigger 6” figures for collectors and the smaller scale figures for kids. Personally im not gonna get any of the smaller scale figures but continue collecting the 6 inch figures

[@optibotimus]

Then they shouldn't call it plasma series imo. Come up with a new name

[@Rocket1377]

I agree that it should not be part of the Plasma series. Seems like false advertising to me. I am not buying a 3.75 scale Ecto-1 until I see what the figures for it are like.

[@lutephilips5550]

I'll never buy. Hasbro has been dropping the ball on the Ghostbusters stuff. First with the release of the wand. And then my wand broke with zero cause and they never got back to me about it. Then they can't even scale the ECTO-1 correctly. Terrible.

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

Just got mine today. I absolutely LOVE it!

[@adhambarbour]

Man Seeker of the Matrix is slowing taking over the channel.😄

[@leewolfe3895]

Those are not the Afterlife figures though.

[@raynekraven]

MAYBE its smaller.... because it will fit with the figures from the afterlife movie.... ;)

[@raynekraven]

@Rob Cook probably because the toys from the afterlife movie will be movie accurate representations? lets wait and see.. then, if I'm wrong, we can fuck hasbro up together

[@amandacameron7885]

I got the car and I love it

[@heinakissanthamuss0280]

Try the playmobil figures

[@Rocket1377]

They are too small. This car is scaled for 4 inch figures, Playmobil are only 3 inches.

[@javonnimaldonado288]

ABSOLUTELY NOT

[@HeavyTanker-vx4oq]

How is Hasbro can do everything right at this point? And it's competitors can't, look at Mattel right now

[@jeebus2313]

Meanwhile Mattel is killing it with their Jurassic World line where Hasbro failed miserably.

[@somarriba333]

THIS is Hasbro doing it right? The figures can't even fit in it. Easy pass.

[@Rocket1377]

Doing it right"? The Playmobil Ecto-1 was better than this; it had electronic lights/sounds, & it was cheaper, & it came with figures. What is the point of making a car for Ghostbusters that is not in scale with the action figures? Kenner was able to accomplish this 34 years ago.

[@transformers4866]

Titan masters/Prime masters could fit in the ecto 1

[@edmundorios5024]

Hi

[@Huevito847]

I know everyone has an opinion, but I personally don’t really mind scale, I used to but then transformers came along and I threw scale out the window, *my opinion don’t yell at me.*

[@adhambarbour]

Shame it's not to scale. But who knows maybe it's not meant not scale to the og busters but the new busters?🤔

[@rlnsoto6330]

May I have your toy story collection woody and mr potato head?

[@optibotimus]

Ummmm...no

[@bonorbitz]

No proper scale, lights and sound? No thanks.

[@Rocket1377]

Yeah, it is basically useless. If they ever make decent 3.75-4 inch figures for it, I may change my mind. The lack of lights and sounds is unforgivable at that price.

[@defunctgoosebumpsaccount]

[@jayjayshowcaser5859]

To me this is the worst looking Ghostbusters Ecto 1 ever / I’m passing on it / i will wait for a better higher quality version of the Ghostbusters Ecto 1 / the funny part is that he saids it looks breathe taking / lol 😆

[@HappyDude1]

There is no light and sound in this model ? 🥲
