Today during the Mattypalooza panel at San Diego Comic Con, Mattel revealed one of the biggest additions to their 6inch Ghostbusters line to date: The Ecto-1.
Specs include:
•For the first time ever, the Ecto-1 is in scale to our 6” Ghostbusters™ figures so you can recreate scenes from the iconic first movie.
•This Ecto-1 will feature a pull-out rack for storing the removable proton packs that come with the new 6” Peter and Ray figures (sold separately).
•The headlights of the Ecto-1 will flash and the beacon will light up with both blue and red lights.
•The doors and trunk of the Ecto-1 will actually open so you can get your 6” figures and their gear inside!
•The authentic Ecto-1 signature ambulance siren lets bystanders know the Ecto-1 is coming.
•This Movie Masters® Epic Creations™ vehicle is made of highly detailed, hard plastic, with authentic Cadillac logos.
•The Ecto-1 features engine revving sounds recreated to sound just like in the film!
•This vehicle rolls on wheels to get around town fast… go get those ghosties!
Further details are yet to be confirmed, but we’ll bring them to you when we get them.
Additionally, Mattel have also announced the debut of the range of figures in the 6inch line which feature removable Proton Packs. Some may recall seeing prototypes of these popping up a while back on eBay, with speculation as to whether Mattel still planned on using the feature.
The slides from the show suggest they’ll appear on the Mattycollector website eventually, but you can get them bundled with the Ecto-1 if you purchase the car’s preorder.
The 6inch scale Ecto-1 is given a tentative retail price of $215, but only if they receive enough preorders.
