First pictures of Hotwheels Ecto 1 prototype

For those who still don’t believe it :slight_smile:

Thats looking promising, I have to get my hands on one of these when they are released.

Thanks for the pic Nisei :smiley:

Awsome this is a must have.

Looks very good

AWESOME!!!

I’m getting 2 !!!

That’s how the **MATTY VERSION **should look, if it existed :frowning:

But it is the “Matty Version”. Matel makes Hotwheels. They have the prototype as seen. They can scale it to whatever size they wish to. When they think the market is ready, they can make one in scale with the 6" figures.

Awesome i didn’t know MATTY and HOTWHEELS were the same!!

I really hope they eventually make a 6" scale ECTO that looks exactly like this

i’d definitly buy 2 if they did :smiley:

Pretty much every toy company in the U.S. is either owned or partially owned by either Mattel or Hasbro, I was astounded when doing research on the history of the big two companies to see how many of their former competitors they had bought and turned into lines/divisions of their own company.

As to the Ecto-1 prototype it looks very good and at least the have the mold so that as Capt Cyan said they could potentially(as in if Ghostbusters 3 ever actually gets made or they shock us by announcing a new animated series) use it to give us an Ecto one to go with our 6-inch Ghostbusters.

God, something like this in scale for the 6" figures would make my year.

Turn the ■■■■■■■ binocs around! Goddammit!

Mmmmmmmmm yeah… I want

that prototype looks insane!!! hope they eventually release an ecto-1A version!!

Good luck getting those figures in with their packs glued on…or start saving the almost $120 to get the inevitable sans/removable pack figures

HUH???

Sorry if i come off a little stupid here, but what??

LOL

4 Ghostbusters at nearly $30 a pop

Must be based on the photos I took at Sony.. where they were turned around.

The detail on this thing looks great. Definitely a must have for the collection.

Impressive…very impressive!

Very nice!

The Hotwheels Ecto appears to capture the 1959 Cadillac body better as well, the proportions of the older one just seemed squashed and stretched…

There’s a finer assortment of details, just look at how many more bits of trim the new one sports, ranging from the swooping pieces of crome over the headlights with miniature Cadillac sheilds, and as someone on GBN pointed out, the louver plates
