Let us know in comments.During Walmart’s Collector Con, Hasbro has officially unveiled the latest additions to its Kenner Classics The Real Ghostbusters line, which include the iconic Ecto-1 along with the Fearsome Flush and Bug-Eye Ghosts. Take a look in the gallery below for many more looks at these toys. That may numerically sound like twice the original price, but by current standards, it’s downright cheap. The two ghosts, on the other hand, come in at $14.99, when they show up in stock. The Ghostbusters figures came in a standard scale for the time, but compared to the modern default of six inches, they look little indeed. But maybe less so if none of the figures for it seem easy to come by. A small orange ghost comes in the box, and fits the claw neatly enough.įor around $40, that’s a pretty fun toy. Flip it back, and pushing the car forward will reel in the claw. (Claws wouldn’t capture vaporous apparitions, but kids don’t know that.) Flip it to one side, and the claw pulls out on a string. Notice the crooked tailpipe? That’s the control lever for the ghost capture claw.

But getting the driver figure in feels tough enough already. The belt here fits super-tightly, and getting it just right may challenge the fingers. The Real Ghostbusters toys came out during a brief period where all vehicles for action figures suddenly seemed to mandate seat belts. Vintage 1980s Kenner ECTO-1 The Real Ghostbusters Car. ![]() ![]() This quite likely inspired the side-jumpseat in the new movie’s Ecto-1. A weapon-enhanced jumpseat attaches either on top of the car, or in a groove in the back that allows it to move in and out. The car seats two figures in the front, and has a back holding area that can fit a lot of stuff. It even has a sculpted undercarriage, unlike some more recent toys that ostensibly aimed higher. Packaged mostly assembled, and with a couple of fun features, it’s a great toy even if it may not be the most accurate Ecto-1 ever. The Real Ghostbusters Ecto-1, of course, was the must-have centerpiece of any collection back in the day, and the perfect way to display the rerelease figures now. The sculpt overall looks more elaborate than a typical animated style figure, with a creepy grin like a Boglin, and a body with veins all over. And both his articulated arms can hold the eyeball. His body is made of soft plastic to allow for said thumping and squeezing. It’s much easier as an adult to make that happen. One basically has to punch or karate chop him in the back, and his eye shoots out, pop-gun style. (Special thanks to He Uses Toys! for the loaner of the Egon and Winston figures.)īug-Eye’s gimmick is a little different.
