While Ghostbusters Italia member Guusc72 took it upon himself to build 1:1 scale replica of the Ghostbusters basement, fellow member GBPasin set his sites on a much smaller, yet incredibly detailed 6″ replica.
We’d also like to point out the custom Winston Zeddemore, police captain and Con Edison worker action figures.
Mattel Toys has officially started sending out the below press release for their upcoming 1:18 Heritage Ecto-1:
The Ecto-1 is featured in the original Ghostbusters movie and is based on a 1959 Miller-Meteor Cadillac limo-style ambulance. This 1:18 scale, die-cast Hot Wheels Heritage Ghostbusters Ecto-1 Vehicle is a must for dedicated Ghostbusters fans!
With this years New York Toy Fair currently being held, Mattel released further information regarding their upcoming Ecto Goggles prop, most importantly the release date and price.
The next prop replica is coming! A twist of the button on the side allows the wearer to see Slimer attack, and when used with the PKE meter, you’ll see the library ghost. These one size goggles fit most, and are priced at $110.
Hi, this time I wanted a Slimer figure for my 12″ Ghostbusters figures from Matty Collector, so I found a Kenner vintage figure of slimer (as Mattel decided to do a cartoon look on their figures, i needed a cartoon Slimer too)
I added articulation to the arms, filled the hole and added interchangeable mouths for more expression.
Aside from the highly modded Kenner Slimer, both Venkman and Stantz feature custom paints job as well additional lights were also put into the proton packs and neutrona wands.
We’ve just received e-mail confirmation that Mattel has begun processing orders for their glow-in-the-dark Slimer figures for cancelled Club Ecto subscribers.
For those wondering, we’ve still yet to receive word on if multiple orders mean multiple Slimers.
