I always loved this Ecto 1A sticker set because it was the very first toy I ever got to put together by myself. The stickers weren't perfectly aligned and some of them may have been put in the wrong spot, but damn it, it was mine and I loved it.
I love that Hasbro is re-releasing the Ecto, but I wish we could get a show accurate Ecto someday. God knows movie accurate Ectos are a dime a dozen.
Hot wheels released one but it's more cartoon real ecto rather than an accurate Real Ghostbusters model. An accurate RGB Ecto as a model kit would probably be most accurate. Also I would like some more love for Ecto-1B in model form.
I kind of like this Ecto-1A. The standard Ecto-1 is almost too plain looking by itself.
Agreed
I'll definitely be doing this. I remember getting Ecto 1A for Christmas in 1990 when I was 4. I remember actually sneaking down opening the present (with the help of my brother) on Christmas eve, looking at, terribly putting the wrapping paper back on the box, and acting like nothing happen a few hours later when Mom watched me open it
far and away my favorite channel on youtube. absolutely love this mod video and couldn't think of a better spokesman for the GB Fandom than Jason! Thanks for always providing the greatest content!
I want this one even more
cant wait to get both of mine and add these stickers on the 2nd
I bought Ecto-Bomber stickers from this dude, quality work!
I have been collecting as much ecto 1a stuff as I can, and I've been sitting on this sticker set for this very reason!
Never thought I would be able to get any RGB re-issue toys since my only WalMart is in a not-so-great area. Thankfully, the internet has my back. I was born in '90 so I never thought I would have these. Totally bought two of them. I love the Ecto-1A.
Absolutely adore this video (and all your videos to be honest! Lol)
I have the same anxiety applying any kind of stickers as I’m the biggest perfectionist EVER!! Lol
Any chance you could do a wee tutorial video of applying stickers using this method before I try it myself? That would be soooooooo amazing and super appreciated dude!!
Awesome! I can't wait to get this baby when it comes out. I loved the Ecto 1A, thanks for showing us that everything will still line up well!
This is a toy I loved so much as a kid. I remember playing with it so much one day as I was very young that I popped of the doors. Thinking I broke em, I immediately threw them into the bin.
I still have remorse doing this, as a 31 year old guy.
Turned out pretty well!
I loved my Ecto 1-A as a kid. Its a bit trashed these days, and it's nice to know I can bring it back to life. Or get the Hasbro Ecto 1. So thanks for that. I thought the kenner figures that launched with GB 2 were kind of fun and whimsical. The pink proton packs, and revealing slime when you shoot them with water. I was one of those kids that never got to play with the slime because my mom thought it would get into the carpet lol. So it was nice to get to substitute water for the slime.
Such a great idea... never thought of that...I prefer both...they both unique in their own ways😊
Ecto 1a is my favorite but it would also be cool to do one of ecto1b
I would've cut slimer out of that window sticker and added him to the window, that whole sticker blocked out the back window, still awesome seeing this either way 👍
Oooh, this is exactly my plan with the reissue once it hits my Walmart. Had the original 1A as a kid, so this is perfect.
I'm just curious about one thing: why didn't you make this one into the Ecto-1B instead (except for the license plate, of course, obviously)? Why not use the caution stripes and the original "No Ghost" logo (and as many of the slime and slimer and "Ghost on Board" stickers as you like)? That would look awesome and it would solve your fussiness problem about the two different kinds of "No Ghost" logos and how well the original logo fits on the two front doors better. Am I really the only one who is thinking outside of the box and thinking about the Ecto-1B? Oy! Still, great video, Jason. I've definitely been getting some nostalgia vibes from these Kenner / Hasbro toy videos! Thank you for sharing them with us! "Liked"!
So when are us non-famous people receiving the new Ecto? I'd ordered it and the ghosts at the same time, thinking they'd had the same release date and I received the ghosts, but not the car I've wanted since I first saw the OG my cousins with rich parents had and I didn't because...my parents weren't rich. I'm so excited to finally receive it after all these years regardless and hope the firehouse is coming next!
If I get this, I'm actually thinking of making a real hearse out of it
Most of my childhood RGB toys were given away, but I managed to hang onto both the Ecto-1 and Ecto-1A.
I may do this as well, though.... get two of the reissued Ecto-1's and this sticker sheet. I'll probably be selective on which stickers I actually use (for instance I probably won't use the sticker that says "The Real Ghostbusters" on it). Basically I want it to represent the movie version as much as possible even though I know it won't be identical.
I'd love it if someone could make alternate doors (preferably in white that closely matches the colors of the reissued car) to put on this with no indentations for the "no ghost" logo stickers. That way the Ecto-1A stickers can just be applied to a flat surface and awkwardly go over the indentations for the original logo.
Classic Ecto for me. I found the 1A to be a little over the top.
As for what I'd do, if money wasn't an option. I'd skip the 1A, and do the Black, and grey spotted Ambulance pre-Ecto, and maybe another gloss Black hearse for the the Monsters. Except instead of the rack, and light bars. The hearse would have a pull back soft top, so the Wolfman, and Frank could ride too. Or just a spring loaded coffin for Drac. lol
Makes me wonder what the Ecto 1 playset from Afterlife looks like with the Kenner 1A stickers.
1A all the way
I foresee seeing a mix of original and Ecto 1A stickers.
I will admit the Ecto-1A is really over the top when compared to the original car, although I think the Ecto-1A has the necessary decals an emergency vehicle should have. It’s got the company number, it’s got caution stripes to inform people around it carry’s dangerous equipment and the color choice of lights is right for their type of work.
Weird timing on this as I just watched a couple Kenner Ecto 1A Review videos this morning. So cool. Now I might have to pick up two of these...
The ecto 1a is soo cool you did a good job
That sticker maker should also make a version that's on transparent plastic. Though it doesn't matter to me as I don't like the Ecto-1A stickers and will just stick with the original version. Though I may buy 3rd party stickers for Ecto-1 as they are probably printed on a higher quality material than what Hasbro puts in the box.
The Kenner Real GB Ecto-1 finally arrived in Walmart stores in Mexico, but it came with a very insulting retail price of $1,900 MXN ($95 USD). I mean i love Ghostbusters, it's ranks second on my top 3 most loved franchise ever after TMNT, but that price is just ridiculous... i ended up buying the Hasbro Afterlife Ecto-1 which came with a retail price of $900 MXN or $43 USD, which is still higher than the US retail price of $27 USD but at least quite a bit more accessible compared to Kenner's Real GB Ecto-1.
I actually just did this, but instead of using the Ghostbusters 2 logo I kept the OG logo so it would look closer to the Ecto 1B from the Ghostbusters Video Game 😎
I took an original Ecto last year and turned it into a 1A, which I prefer
Add the custom made roof racks.
Ordered 2 1st day of preorder todo this same thing. Glad was able to see u do it first on a new ecto 1, not thrilled on the whites not matching thou. Big Thanks for making video
Ghostbusters toys are directed more towards today's adults for obvious reasons, so I believe Hasbro will correct Kenner's mistake this time around and create separate moldings for Ecto-1A's doors. In general, toy companies today pay more attention to detail than ever before, unless they are trying to recreate childhood memories such as the Kenner line, but with that said, minor fixes such as the doors to the Ecto-1/1A should be corrected.
I like them both of the ecto.
When she was 4 years old, my sister sat on my Ecto-1 and used it as a riding toy. I was not happy at all.
Awesome. 1A Is what I'm talking about.
Hopefully I can get the ecto-1 and Slimer in digital 3D form on next weeks drop on the VeVe app. Can't wait! Can take photos with them in AR too.
I got an ecto1 afterlife playset and I couldn't stand the witheness so I painted the roof elements and put some chrome and wheathering where required
I m planning on getting another classic ecto 1 and i will orobably replace the back window sicker with the the car comes with
I did same thing with my original ecto1 except I made the mistake of spray painting it with glow in dark paint. Made the surface reject the stickers.
I know this is an older video, but as an update: Walmart is restocking these vehicles again, so if anyone who may have missed out on this project before now have another chance.
I need to get 3. 1 for myself, one for my son. and one to customize
Let's just hope Winston doesn't get road rage with all that mood slime about
Damn, got me reason to grab 3 of them now instead of 2! Lol
One for Sealed in the box
One for loose with Ecto 1 stickers
And One for loose with Ecto 1A stickers 😁
Reporter Slimer on the scoop
I was expecting the plasma series moded. Not the RGB one. I do like it.
Glad I bought 2!
Mine came from Walmart this afternoon and unfortunately, the box was not 100% mint because of the way it was packaged. The upper back corner was wrinkled. As everyone knows, it is sold out and a Walmart exclusive and is already selling for a minimum of $80 on ebay. Does anyone know if there will be a second wave of The Real Ghostbusters Retro toy line? I cannot believe they left Janine out of the first wave!!!
Ya know, if you combine stickers from both, you could also make the Ecto 1B from the video game
Only one question on my mind: would there be a Wreckto paintjob with appropriate mods to the mold to resemble the Afterlife Ecto?
It really annoys me they never changed the doors. I"ve got a spare Kenner Classic car since upgrading to a genuine vintage one so was thinking of converting it to a 1A. That back window sticker just isn't right.
Very cool! Looks good Jason.
Come on Hasbro. You know what we want.
I'm still waiting on a ecto1 for the plasma series Ghostbusters
I have the original Ecto I can pick up the new one and some stickers so I could turn it into the Ecto 1A!!!!!!!! :D
Thanks Jason I have the ecto-1a and it doesn't have any stickers!
did they offer the text stickers on clear?
I love the original Ecto 1 but like so many other people have said it looks so plain and so much like a cheap toy whereas with the ecto-1a and all the extra added detail it just looks better
This is really interesting. Could you print these stickers on clear sticker paper? Does that even exist?
Where did you pick that up at. I need 2.
I am converting a Kenner Classic Ecto to an Ecto 1A. Does anyone know of a custom red rear bumper to add to the Ecto 1A?
I always thought the Ghostbusters logo on the hood was stupid looking. Eh!
I like the ecto 1a more than ecto 1
I prefer the original. As for a die cast I prefer the 1A.
Love Zac's repro stickers, however the slime sticker sheet is not 100% done the same as the original. Those 5 or so slime splatters, and extra slimer, that are very lite are incorrect. The reason is because those ones were printed different, in a reverse ink image with white ink layer to apply inside the windows. Zac unfortunately I guess doesn't have a printer that does that 2 ink layer, so it's just a unaltered scan of what would be the back layer of the original sticker.
There is another seller that produces correct 2 tone layer slime stickers however.
Also both Zac and the other seller have some key differences. One uses Orange stripes, the other Yellow. One has a medium hood logo, the other large. I typically just buy from both of them and mix match. Never enough slime stickers! *sticks them all over firehouse and chromebook* stickers!!!
It can be tricky to find a printer that can print out white.
Can you please tell us the name of the other seller that apparently makes the repro sticker sheets as well that's not zacparis? I would defiantly like a more accurate slime sticker sheet for my Ecto-1A if I can get it. I have no problem buying two different sets in order to mix and match to get as close to original perfection as possible.
@@JonathanClifford83 same!
Yep I'm getting 2
I prefer the Playmobil Ecto cars.
Gavin
Ecto 1A
I personally don't like the slime stickers
Wowwwwwsd!
I'm a much bigger fan of the original Ecto-1. Less is more for me.

That’s how the original one was.
Ecto1 A Is way better ;)
