Another problem with making the Ecto 1, in comparison to something like the Batmobile, is the fact that it is based on a real car meaning they need to get permission from Cadillac to produce it. While I’m sure that’s not necessarily hard to acquire, it’s another cost to add onto the understandably high tooling costs for such a vehicle.

As for why he feels it needs lights and sounds, at the price point for these vehicles, adding those probably doesn’t push the cost up that much more and creates a much more dynamic piece.

I’m sure it has little to do with size and more 1) the cost of the licensing and 2) market/demand for the product. (Batman and the Ninja turtles get great vehicles and play sets… I get it, higher demand/brand recognition)

I’m also going to throw in the horrible economy and the reboot going with a different ecto…even a big dog like [Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel) is sticking with lil Hot Wheels and mini figures. Matty was probably spot on with their $250 scale Ecto with light and sound, but they’d already screwed the pooch with that line.

Wait… no… it’s all the fans’ fault for this business. I missed my chance with Matty, and now I can like it at $350 or lump it with no one else to blame but myself and the other fans who wouldn’t jump.

Who knows… maybe the reboot will be a huge success and give us a shot at retail again down the line?

For now, here’s Mezco’s Dredd and bike to tide you over:

Pass…Dredd can ride the $20 batpod from Mattel that I picked up in 2008, right Cap?. 😛

a [6" figure](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel/mattel-6-figures) with cloth uniform? that’s… different. I highly doubt I will buy these, but it will be interesting to follow the progress of this line.

kind of cool. those are [6" figures](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel/mattel-6-figures)? they look like 12" in the photo. unless these are the “1 ups” like Matty did before the actual 6" figures were produced.

Pics are up… Gotta say- Pretty disappointed in the likenesses. They look weaker than both [Mattel](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/mattel) and DST as a whole (though Winston is pretty decent)-

Not sure cloth uniforms are a good idea for the scale. I wonder how many change s before the final product. But if they sale them as a set with ecto 1 ill be forced to give them my money.

True, those likenesses are a bit off… and those huge zippers are not helping either.

Not worth it, compared to some of the other figures that are being produced by other companies.

I love Mezco One 12 and I love Ghostbusters, but these figures just don’t do it for me and it hurts.

Especially looking at their Spock and many of their other offerings, these are a real buzzkill. The likenesses are off, the layering on the outfits is pretty dismal, and the pack straps are really wonky. Looks like Blitzway swooped in a stole the show. Really bummed, I had high hopes for these and it looks like Mezco threw these to their B-team. :whatever:

Apparently the figures had problems and now Mezco says they are coming in 2018 and they do not know if they are going to be sold individually or in a box set.

maybe that is a good thing, i’m sure these were prototypes and maybe they will go back and make some tweaks that will improve on these.

The soft sculpts would be one thing, but the uniforms and pack straps were my biggest gripes. I’m a pretty big fan of Mezco’s figures and the fact that for the most part they bucked the trend of soft-goods figures looking like slightly-better Mego figures. Their Star Trek and DC/Marvel comics figures have been some of the best out there for those properties. But their Ghostbusters looked hastily thrown together and almost like a product from another company. Especially when compared to the new Thor Ragnarok figures, who seem to have nailed some of the likenesses better than anything they’ve done before.

Hoping this delay is a sign they want to do these right, but who knows.

Decided to raise this thread from the dead. Mezco’s been trolling social media with Ghostbusters images and hints. Today may be the day preorders finally go live.

Big Mezco One:12 fan. Excited to get these, but Toy Fair said holiday 2018, so there’s still a wait ahead.
