Introduction
A few years ago, Blitzway wowed the crowd at San Diego Comic-Con with their huge display of all four Ghostbusters and the Ecto-1 in glorious sixth scale. It was amazing, and they said we'd be able to have our very own someday. Of course, collectors know all too well how this usually goes. They have sour memories of Batman and the 66 Batmobile, or Han and Chewie in the Millennium Falcon. But unlike those two (and several more!), the Ecto-1 actually went up for pre-order.
The vehicle was originally listed for about $1400, although getting one now for under $2000 is becoming difficult. It just started shipping in the last few weeks, after a very, very long wait. Was the wait and price tag worth it? Let's find out!
Packaging - ****
No, I didn't take a photo of the box. Dude, just finding a spot to take photos of the car was hard enough, since I couldn't use my usual set up. It's simply not designed for something almost four feet long!
This thing came doubled boxed of course, with an outside box that isn't even tight fitted to the inside box, making it even more massive. The inside box was wrapped in this heavy duty, air filled, plastic tubing that provided plenty of support and safety for the main interior box. My outer box had a badly dinged corner, yet nothing had touched the interior box.
This interior box is about 55" long - this thing is monstrous. It's hard to explain how big it is. When I came home and saw the outer box sitting in my dining room, I was shocked. And I own every other Hot Toys sixth scale vehicle - this one dwarfs them all.
The inner box has high density, heavy duty foam trays. These two pieces are not taped together like normal, but rather are strapped together with cloth straps velcro'ed tight. The car, roof rack, and a handful of other pieces you need to assemble are all nestled snug inside. It's collector friendly, although it would mean taking the vehicle apart to put it back in the box. You can do that - none of the pieces snap into place in such a way that you'd have trouble reversing it - but odds are you won't want to once you see it in all its glory.
There's no COA, but you won't ever need one. There won't be any knock offs of this thing.
