It's interesting that you're describing what I experienced when I got this toy as a child brand new out of the box. It was fragile and it was also missing parts. Your car is the first one I have seen completely put together. That said, I loved the toy, and I got a lot of miles out of it. -Pun intended.
I'm abit late to the party but I have that original Ecto 1 as well! My parents got it for me when I was a kid. It's a little beat up and some parts are missing. I'm 35 now and I will never ever get rid of it!
Mine was junk also right out of the box straight from the store shelf in the 90s... funny you mentioned the trend masters voltron I loved that version as well especially the stealth voltron ! This was my favorite vehicle for years even though mine was full of super glue, I ripped all my stickers off shortly after I got it too!
DONT FORGET ABOUT THE GHOST IN THE PASSENGER REAR WINDOW THAT LIGHTS UP....AND THE PARTS THAT "POP" OFF ARE SUPPOSED TO SHOW BATTLE DAMAGE LIKE THE REAR BUMPER ON THE ENGLISH BOX IT SHOULD SAY IT.. OOOH OK YOU FOUND THE GHOST LOL... I MISS THIS TOY MAN
The ecto on the box is the prototype version of the car wich was also shown in an early toy catalogue aswell at the same time and all the toys on the back of the boxes are prototypes for some reason
That's what I imagined. It's the same reason there's usually a disclaimer somewhere on the box saying "actual product inside may vary". Thanks for watching!
Tom Kingston It's definitely weird. The picture on the package even has a one-piece front end, that thing is a total mystery to me LOL! Thanks for watching!
I had my hands on this in the store, new, back when this show was on the air. At that time I was only into collecting Star Trek stuff and I really didn't like the idea of a new GB. I have the Kenner Ecto-1 and Ecto-2 with the firehouse and the original GB figures and their proton packs. I don't care how much I'm offered, they will never leave me. :)
Nice, this is the one from my childhood. I don’t think there was even another ghostbuster cartoon after the 90s. Would be cool to see if they do another cartoon for Ghostbusters Afterlife
I used to have the Italian GIG version, box and all, unfortunately I wasn't really all that interested in collecting Ghostbusters toys at the time, so I sold it - really wish I hadn't done that. Someone told me the Kenner figures wouldn't fit! I never observed any durability issues with it. Also if I had been you, I would've put the Ghostbusters 2 decals on it instead!
I grew up with Extreme Ghost Buster and this got to be my favorite eco one vechicle and totally matching of it but i notice and see the Ghost Buster Symbol is smaller here then the commercial but not must bump about it, i did wish they had garret figure so he can slide on a ramp on the back side of the vechicle though, other then that beautiful vehicle beside notice you cannot open the other door kinda bump me out bit still great cool detail eco 1 vechicle.
Btw Bert, you should try to score the large proton pack and ghost trap stuff -you know the large nerf and projector guns they made for kids to shoot ghosts. I had the proton pack as a kid and use to ride my bike around the neighborhood with it on. haha Good times. They had some good weapons they sold but my family didn't have a lot of money so yeah... I was lucky to get what I had and I still have a lot of it to this day.
trekguy31 I have a Kenner Proton Pack, hologram projector, the proton gun with the spinner and the foam popper! Really great toys! Thanks for watching!
Why is it the fender and bumper falling off reminds me of the crash dummy toys from the 90's? Im wondering if that was designed to reflect battle damage -as if they were having a rough ride or perhaps a bad encounter with a powerful ghost?
JR Davis If I don't like it I usually don't get it or review it. I think the closest I've gotten to not liking something I reviewed was Masterpiece Movie Optimus Prime. That was NOT a fun figure, I do love how it looks in both modes, I think it's gorgeous, but it is extremely frustrating to handle. Thanks for watching!
That makes sense. If you know you aren't going to like something no sense in getting it :) I do appreciate your reviews and work you put into these videos. Also per my first post "there" should be been instead of "their" whoops!
I liked it more than the one from the Real Ghostbusters... at least it wasn't as cartoonish. It always bothered me how the toys were never 100% based on the movie.
New stickers look way better, which ones did you use? also any tips on how to remove them? Mine is super old so I want to try to bring back some of the whiteness before adding the og logo stickers
I just peeled them off carefully so I didn't damage them and saved them. If your Ecto is yellow you may want to take it apart and retrobrite it first before adding new decals. Thanks for watching!
I regret never getting this Ecto-1 I really liked it, but the figures put me off even though I bought 4 of them, the 2 Eduardos and the 2 Rolands. The aesthetics of the figures were the things that put me off cause they looked ugly, yet the Ecto 1 looked awesome. I wonder if the newest GB Fright Features figures that has the original GBs whom are articulated like the RGB toys fit on this...I mean they are a bit smaller than the RGBs and it is the original cast of characters so if they do, it would be awesome, bit if they are too small well...anyway, I hope I can get this Ecto 1 regardless in the future, I might end up customizing my own EGB figures that may look good then and even fit this car.
I distinctly remember in a Toy Fare magazine they showed off this Ecto-1 and it had pictured the back passenger doors could open. I was so stoked about that, and was one of the disappointing features that wasn't in the final product. But I still loved the lights and sound of it.
HardlineSoul Because I knew 2 years later YOU'D see this video and it would bother you... Or maybe because it was NEW IN BOX and there was no way of knowing that in advance? Your pick.

Mecca Miles Fragile parts aside it's a very fun toy!
Thanks for watching!
Got this Christmas morning was beyond excited
That's AWESOME!

This is really cool. Loved extreme. Great show. Great and informative review.

Unfortunately it seems anything made by Trendmasters was simply not good quality and does not hold up over time. So sad.

Here in Japan I’m in 2024 and I bought this brand new on a Japanese online auction website- It’s the best light & sound Ecto-1 toy ever made, period
Thanks for watching!
I'm thinking the fender and the bumper are meant to be battle damage
Tom Kingston It's definitely weird. The picture on the package even has a one-piece front end, that thing is a total mystery to me LOL!
Thanks for watching!
Yeah battle damage for sure. A completely unnecessary feature for many toys (including Jurassic Park for example)

trekguy31 Thanks for watching!
I had this Ecto -1 when I was a kid and I was very confused about the fender coming as well
Glad to know it wasn't just me :D
Thanks for watching!

I 5hink thr slimer is the same one from the Samhain retro action figure
It is.

Always wondered myself.
Thanks for watching!
If I could I'd get the Original ecto 1 and customize it like Extreme Ghostbusters.
Cross 41790 Thanks for watching!
That awesome.
By Ray Parker Jr....Whoo!!!!!!!!!!
T Montoya Best song ever!
Also if you put the trap in the other way it fits better I think
Print is Dead It's a fitted tray, it fits the same way whichever way you orient the trap.
Thanks for watching!
Has their been a toy you have not loved? at least for review purposes? :) Keep up the great work!

I try to keep it positive, too much negativity online already. :D
Thanks again for watching and commenting!

Bothered me when I was a kid too, I wanted it to be more like the movie.
Now I get what they were going for though.
Thanks for watching!
Agreed, totally lss looney and more on grounded scary look.

I didn't quite care for the ExGB figures either but this vehicle stands out on its own and is very good!
Thanks for watching!
What are your thoughts on extreme ghostbusters?
That Kid outside I didn't watch many episodes but what I did watch I liked.
Thanks for watching!
Hi de que año es el auto?
Di el año a los 0:28 segundos en el video
never could get one they were always sold out
Thanks for watching!
I distinctly remember in a Toy Fare magazine they showed off this Ecto-1 and it had pictured the back passenger doors could open. I was so stoked about that, and was one of the disappointing features that wasn't in the final product. But I still loved the lights and sound of it.
CAPTAIN_TV Yeah, it's a shame you can't fit all the figures in it.
Thanks for watching!
Any photos i forgot about that
How much did u pay on Ebay for ecto just asking
TheTableImprov I don't remember.
Thanks for watching!
You know before playmobil's this is the best,even though i didn't liked this show that much as well! 😉
T@wesomE Thanks for watching!
" Things falling apart..." ...then why the hell would you buy it?!!
HardlineSoul Because I knew 2 years later YOU'D see this video and it would bother you...
Or maybe because it was NEW IN BOX and there was no way of knowing that in advance? Your pick.
You're very rude. Letting kids play with toys
I'm not sure what this means.
