Following the success of their previous 1/6 scale Ecto-1, collectable company Blitzway has now officially unveiled their 1/6 scale replica of Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

In addition to many of the features seen with the company’s previous Ecto-1 release, including LED lights and sound effects, this new replica will also feature the Remote Trap Vehicle, Gunner Seat and cabin interior details as seen in the new film.

Scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2023, Blitzway are currently taking deposits of $170 for the replica (the final price will likely be around $1,400, which was the final retail price of the previous 1/6 Ecto-1 replica).

Blitzway also posted up their teaser video showing the sirens and lights on.

Beautiful but a way too expensive for my wallet after the past year.

A shame we can’t get an enhanced Plasma Series model at 1:18 with lights / metal fittings / greater details.

Yup, plus isn’t this thing huge like you have to be a little creative with how you store this in one’s home?

I’m sure it’s eventually going to happen but maybe not by Hasbro.

I wondered how Afterlife Ecto would have looked with the correct size front lightbar. and now I know :mrgreen:

6

Funny even Blitzway in their own ad teaser video cannot get their rear lightbars to work properly…

7

I got the first one and loved it, this one looks so much more interesting. Tempted to sell the original to buy this one.

8

Does anyone know if Blitzway offers payment plans?

I just checked with the retailer. I just ordered the 1/6 DeLorean, big bad toy store just made you put down a deposit charges you when it ships. Which should give you about a year to save up. I ordered the original ecto one from them, the retail price was a tad high but then they only had $4 shipping, so it ended up being a little cheaper

10

I tried to pre-order but it doesn’t let you unless you’re in China and a few other asian countries. There’s a warning about not shipping overseas currently on Blitzway’s site. Anyway to get around this or elsewhere I could order?

Now available on BBT Store: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/197722

Seems they don’t ship to Canada.. Only US… if someone have a link for Canada, please advise.

Here’s the reply of BBT about shipping to Canada:

13

I like it more than the first one, but looks like it’s $300 more

As of today, US pre-orders are being taken on Entertainment Earth, too.
