“You have a car?” – Phoebe Spengler, Ghostbusters: Afterlife
Ever since it first rolled onto the big screen in 1984’s Ghostbusters, the Ecto-1 has been instantly recognizable in popular culture. With its phantasmic white paint and unmistakable badging, this modified 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Ambulance has transcended mere movie prop status to become an icon, appearing on screens both big and small in movies, cartoons, video games and even one of the most ambitious Walmart ads in recent memory.
Now, Blitzway presents an all-new model of the Ecto-1. Inspired by its more weathered appearance in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, this sixth-scale replica measures 45-inches long and has been meticulously crafted from high-quality plastic to capture every detail of its on-screen counterpart.
Equipped with a plethora of delightful features, this frightfully fun model is certain to have you feeling positively ectoplasmic, regardless of anything strange going on in the neighbourhood. From the carefully recreated exterior, complete with opening doors, hood, and trunk, to the motorized rotating light bars that add an authentic touch of nostalgia, Blitzway has spared no expense in bringing its Ecto-1 replica to life.
But wait, there’s more! Dive into an intricately detailed interior, complete with no fewer than 37 LED lights that illuminate every corner, a functional steering wheel, and even a pop-out gunner seat that’s perfect for those high-speed chases with spectral foes. Oh, and did I mention it has a sixth-scale Remote Trap Vehicle (R.T.V.), light-up Proton Pack, and spine-tingling siren sound effects certain to transport you headlong into the heart of the Ghostbusters universe? Clearly, Blitzway is ready to show the world they ain’t afraid of no ghosts — which seems appropriate given the upcoming release of Gil Kenan’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire this coming Friday, March 22.
For fans and collectors alike, Blitzway’s new Ecto-1 brings a piece of cinematic history home. Thus, whether you’re a die-hard Ghostbusters fan or someone who simply appreciates the fine craftsmanship behind the sixth-scale range, this all-new model is certain to be an ideal addition to your collection.
Recommended specifically for adult collectors, the Blitzway Ghostbusters: Afterlife Ecto-1 is available for pre-order now through a number of different retailers and is powered by eight AA batteries (not included). Priced at $1,899.99 USD, it is slated to begin scaring up ghosts by May 2024.
