I think it’s probably safe to consider almost everything other than Ecto itself an “extra” in this set. Even if you’re not a Playmobil fan of any sort, I’d still recommend taking a lot at this set, even if it’s just for the car.

It even has a pair of lenticular stickers to replicate the digital signage mounted on either side in the movie. It has a radar dish, plenty of seating for the whole crew and equipment, sirens, pile of mysterious equipment on the roof, and more.

It’s a slightly cartoony version of the movie vehicle, and features pretty much everything that that famed car did. The actual Ecto 1A though, is the exact opposite of that. I have to add however, that they look fantastic in their dark grey suits, complete with GBII logo’s on the arms. Though the four Ghostbusters all have minor differences in their expressions, but they all still look like staple Playmobil figures. It’s still worth saying though, because the company’s figures have a unique look to them, much like LEGO mini-figures. It might sound redundant to say that this looks like a Playmobil set, since it’s… a Playmobil set. All you will have to do is to put their proton packs and slime-blowers together.Īll are very sturdy, right in line with the rest of Playmobil’s lineup. The four figures are already assembled right from the baggies. Other than that though, it’s an easy build that should go pretty fast. Just something to keep in mind if you’re figuring on buying this as a gift and not for your own shelf. I’d imagine that’s something that you don’t want played with too roughly. That’s mainly because there are some stickers that need applying to make Ecto 1A really pop. Ecto 1A is no different, though it does feature a few touchy moments in its construction, and loads of small parts.īottom line, this isn’t for very small children, and if you have an older child that’ll be playing with it, you’ll need to be very involved in the build. These are mainly made with kids in mind after all. Playmobil sets, being what they are, are actually pretty sturdy. So let’s take a look at the Ghostbusters’ sequel-ride, Ecto 1A. Then again, maybe that’s fortunate, because the first set that we’ve gotten a look at here at BG is not only of a vehicle that’s rare to find in toy form, but it’s pretty great too. Oddly enough, they focus on the Ghostbusters II timeframe instead of that original film. These follow up on the first few waves that’ve hit over the past two years.

Not only did the DST series wrap up, but Playmobil announced several more collector sets. This 35th year of the franchise is seeing a convention, the announcement of a new “Ghostbusters 3” movie and remastered video game, plenty of comics, and of course toys. When you consider that, it’s hard to think of Ghostbusters as anything other than one of the biggest and most long-lived pop culture phenomenons. The original film opened up today (June 8th) all the way back in the year 1984. Ghostbusters has been around for nearly four decades, and yet in some ways it still seems like it’s a relatively new property.
