![]() I’ve also scanned and included the two cleaned up/restored as possible decal sheets. I’ve taken my original 6 page Ecto-1A Instructions, scanned them, and made them into 4 PNG files. Except for the Slimer impression I like the “double” pink slime spots. I’ve said this before, I would need a graphics tablet to make sure I didn’t completely ruin my sheet. I’ve cleaned them and somewhat restored the originality of this decal sheet. It was very noticeable with Slimer, pink slime spots, and rear “glass” window decals. Something happened with them, almost like a run off, second impression kind of thing. The 1A eventually became the 1B, but sometime in the mid 90s, Ghostbusters went out of business again, or was scaled down heavily. Many people believe that the 1 and the 1A are separate cars, so theres a good chance that the old ecto-1 was put in storage when they bought the 1A. The slime decals were another issue, the original seller had been honest about them. There were two Ecto mobiles the og Ecto-1 and the 1A/1B. It isn’t perfect, considering what my original looks like, I’m pleased with the results. I’ve cleaned each page up and went over the illustrations where needed to clean them like brand new. You probably wouldn’t notice it 100% if I hadn’t brought it up. The instructions in particular were really aged. Mine was mostly complete, some of the contents had seen better days. ![]() That was one of those times I should have been patient knowing eventually another better Ecto-1A will come up for sale.

The prop It was converted into one of the Wrecto-1 vehicles for filming. Although the ghost doing a 2 wouldnt be on there since that was just for the second movie. I may not have expressed it out loud, I was disappointed that a new toy looked like the old one. Nope, what was left of the 1a was actually used as the ecto 1 in afterlife they didnt use the restored one for this movie. The racks also feature a schedule 40 PVC pipe that is 53' long and has a 6' inner diameter. Both racks feature two A-6 oxygen tanks used by World War II-era fighter planes and bombers. Probably because I was at his then house and I was the resident Ghostbusters authority I helped him “assemble” Kenner’s ECTO-1A. The roof rack on both cars is 72' and 36' wide, with the Ecto-1's rack being 12' tall and the 1A's being 16' tall. by then the only Kenner The Real Ghostbusters toy produced I wanted and would own is the Ecto-Charger.Ī really younger cousin who I probably got into Ghostbusters/The Real Ghostbusters received one. While I may have seen Ecto-1A in Kay-Bee stores. 5.0 out of 5 stars based on 6 product ratings. As previously talked about I was older and was into other franchise properties and their toys. item 7 Playmobil Ghostbusters Ecto-1A Standard, Multi for ages six years and up Playmobil Ghostbusters Ecto-1A Standard, Multi for ages six years and up. ![]() It got an updated Ghostbusters logo on the hood and driver's side door and yellow and black stripes on both sides of the vehicle.I never owned a Kenner Ecto-1A as a kid.

However, during the filming of the second Ghostbusters movie in 1989, the original Ecto-1 died, and the crew swiftly made over the second car which became the Ecto-1A. The first one became the Ecto-1, of the original Ghostbusters, but the second one was only used as a prop and just made a cameo appearance to show what the ghost-busting car was before Stantz fixed it. ![]() Because of his mechanical skills, he was able to fix the vehicle, which he bought for $4,800 (equivalent to about $12,029.47 in 2020).Īccording to movie lore, when the production company started designs for the Ecto-1, they bought two 1959 Cadillacs.
