That said, kids may need some help from parental units or an older sibling to get the tires onto their hubs and three AAA batteries must be loaded behind a panel secured by a screw in order to run the electronics. Building the kit is part of the fun, and as rewarding as playing with the finished toy.
GHOSTBUSTERS ECTO 1A REPLICA FULL
While there are plenty of bits and pieces to put together, the well illustrated, full color, instruction booklet will guide you through the assembly process in proper order. The roof array of Playmobil’s “Ghostbusters” Ecto-1A includes lights and sounds.ĭon’t be “a-scared” when you first open the box. Flexible hoses attached to the Slime Blowers and parts of the car are a nice touch. Access to the interior is gained by removing the roof panel and the back hatch opens to fit your ghost trap. Yes, there is room for all the members to ride inside the 1A and gear can be packed too. They are of course presented in Playmo person countenance and each is outfitted with plenty of removable gear. All four ghostbusters ( Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddemore and Egon Spengler) are supplied with the kit. Like their licensed Dreamworks’ D3 Dragons sets Playmobil’s Ecto-1A comes loaded with extras. Tricked out with its roof mounted ectoplasm tracking apparatus it yields an impressive silhouette. The nearly 13” replica is meticulously detailed to the specs of the Ghostbusters II 1A updates including the second “no ghosts” logo. The car’s classic Miller-Meteor Ambulance/Hearse design exudes a sleek 1950’s Cadillac vibe – gotta love those tail-fins. To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the release of Ghostbusters Playmobil has created a toy set filled with goodies based around the ghost battling team’s sweet ride, the Ecto-1A. This Playmobil play-set includes all four Ghostbuster figures. As they did with Animal House and The Blues Brothers, Saturday Night Live ex-patriots including Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Harold Ramis applied their inventive spin to the genre and created a unique reboot. Though beaten to the screen by Poltergeist, Ghostbusters updated and redefined the moribund “a-haunting we will go” spook comedy formula for the burgeoning MTV generation. In retrospect, and IMHO, one of the prime catalysts for this phenomena was 1984’s Ghostbusters. When I first read Hans Holzer’s Ghost Hunter back in the 1970’s I never imagined that paranormal spelunking would become the cottage industry of popular media in the next millennium and a staple of cable television programming. Playmobil Ghostbusters Ecto-1A Playset (70170) Playmobil’s 13 inch “Ghostbusters” Ecto-1A replica includes all the bells and whistles.
