@@Puretea4711It's not overpriced, it's just expensive. Those two words are not interchangeable. Knowing the amount of work that goes into this stuff, and the limited creation run, it's a high-end collectible, not something you'll find on a Walmart shelf. I'll never own one, but that still doesn't mean it's overpriced, it just means it's priced out of my range.

PS I love that your comment said “thou,” and not “though.” I don’t mean that sarcastically, I was legit disappointed when Norm just said “though.” 😊

I can’t imagine how deservedly proud whoever makes these replicas would be watching Adam and Norm unbox this, and their constant geeking out over the small details that really make it stand out 🙂

The gunner seat felt like a nod to the old cartoon with all the crazy gadgets, loved that addition. And it makes total sense from a "if this were a real world with problems to solve" perspective, since the original crew would have absolutely encountered fast ghosts they couldn't chase on foot.

This entire series on Ghostbusters is awesome 👊 When I was living near Detroit the Ecto-1 and the Original Batmobile were on display at the Henry Ford Museum. They had the velvet rope barriers around both and signs saying do not touch. Couldn't help myself, I had to. Both way too cool to not have.

Both builds are amazing, but the level of weathering detail, plus all the additional goodies like the gunner’s chair, the light up proton pack, the rover with the launch bay are just phenomenal. Love the enthusiasm of the two of you!

If I brought a 1/6 car home I'm pretty sure I would be single again before dinner.

I love the genuine excitement these two shared while opening and examining this. Truly, these guys are still kids at heart. Love it!!

*chuckles* It's Christmas morning all over again for these two. :D

These Ghostbusters related videos have been fantastic.

I grew up watching the first Ghostbusters movie and wasn't much a fan but seeing all the videos and how exciting you two are getting I can see the passion and love for Ghostbusters

It blows my mind that Adam is just casually friends with Jason Reitman

This is the best video on KZread I’ve seen this year. The enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for sharing. 😎

Just the way the door latched when Adam closed the door shows the level of detail invested in this model. Fantastic!

Always fun to watch these two geek out over these things!

Great looking model! Seeing these larger scale models this well detailed is absolutely astonishing.

Amazing! The seatbelts on the gunner chair is crazy.

I prefer the 1984 Ecto. It's clean and beautiful. Great video as always.

Awesome ecto1. I’m 3/4 finished with my fanhome ecto build so watching this one is super exciting. Great idea on light adding for proton packs!

Holy crap! That looks insane!

17:45 The sound of the engine hood opening/closing alone. This is incredibly well designed. The attention to detail is off the charts.

I love the contrast between the original being clean and the Afterlife being weathered. Shows off the amazing work that was done on the new one to weather it.

That added gunner seat from Afterlife really shows Blitzway's amazing attention to detail! Awesome unboxing, Adam! Love the Ecto-1 itself!!

NORM!!! Yeah every time sorry, I grew up w Cheers. I just rewatched the proton pack build! So cool to see BOTH Adam and Norm on the set during shooting!

This was an amazing unboxing!!!

That is so cool! Especially to see both side by side.

Their joy is contaigious!

Ecto 1A (GB2) was always my fave with all the extra stuff on top etc

Had no idea this was a thing, beautiful!! They'll never do an Ecto 1A but I would buy it in an instant.

As a long time fan of the Ghostbusters franchise this has been a great experience to watch you guys go through the process of putting it together. I was interested in getting one myself but I was disappointed not to see the LED Blue DISPLAY ON the roof that displays “we’re back!!” I’m sure that is possible to be made. I would definitely love to have one for myself but I obviously that they are all gone by now. Great video once again though Adam!!

The editing on this was much better than usual for these show and tells. it actually looked like proper attention was paid to use b-roll of the the details Adam and Norm are gushing over.

Adam, you are living your best life!

I know it's extremely expensive, but the details and workmanship are incredible !!!❤❤

The whitewalls should also be a tan ivory color. Beautiful piece, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful work

These are fantastic. I now own a 1/6 Afterlife Ecto and 1/6 pre Ecto-1 as modded by Frank of Ghostbusters Plus Collector. Cool stuff.

They need to make them rc cars especially the little guy.

looks amazing , congr .. new model in collection 👍

I thought I was a Ghostbusters nerd until I watched these guys that weathered ecto is one of the best things I've ever seen and I'm 40 years old.

Lovely expression of a love of the story.

So cool! I have a little one that came out when the movie dropped.

Wow! This is an incredible model 😮

All you need IS your own figure of you to do your ecto 1 video of ghostbusters Afterlife, it was so cool , keep going you are the best

Not a big Ghostbusters fan but watching the excitement behind the scenes made me want to see the new film. Got to see it at my local 1910s theater, got that old school theater thing going plus we just got surround sound mid last year (and we even managed to do it in a creative way to not hinder the aesthetic). The movie was fantastic, it was exciting to see the phonograph and the ice sculptures!

At 4:26 starts a micro discussion that cracked Adam up, and me as well. "Does he though". LOL

Holy cow that weathering is impressive.

What fantastic huge model cars!! I build 1/25 & 1/24 scale cars, but those are massive and hugely impressive!!

Marvelous unboxing, I have the Lego version which obviously isn't as big, has no lights with stickers for the rust patches but in every other sense it's the same... from the gunner seat that pushes out via a panel on the opposite side to the RV trap and drop down release and as you said about the size compared to the Delorean the Lego variant is the same Ecto dwarfs it. The weathering on that model is insanely beautiful, thanks for sharing.

I was at my neighborhood Target a couple of days ago and in the toy section saw some Ghostbusters toys. Among them were Hasbro's attempts at reissuing Kenner's old Real Ghostbusters stuff from the late 80s/early 90s, including action figures of the team with the "stretchy mouths" when you handle the arms and such, but the standout on the shelves was the Ecto-1. I looked a little closer at it and it turned out that it wasn't a recreation of the Real Ghostbusters Ecto-1, but _had the gunner seat_ and was the Afterlife/Frozen Empire Ecto-1 instead with a paint job and decals to simulate the rest of the Real Ghostbusters line. We never had the Ecto-1 as kids, Real Ghostbusters or live-action Ghostbusters, only the "Ecto-3" (some roll-cage looking fly-swatter-like grabber vehicle), so I'm considering getting one anyways just to appease my inner child since it's under $30.

What have I become? I’m watching grown men play with toys lol

Nice. Amazing weathering. Light up those scopes in the back!!!

Dear Lord that's a beautiful piece of art. Good thing is that you'll never have to dust it. Makes it look more authentic LOL Just looked up buying this and it's $1900 and 4 feet long. I think I'll enjoy seeing it on this video! LOL

Now that's a great model! New subscriber from Holland.

Back in the 90's I made a "Ghostbusters"-logo for my quake team (FPS game) The UnWanted (TUW). It had a classic quake player upper body in the typical forbidden-sign, like the ghost busters logo. What I notice was that I also had a problem with the angle of the "dash", due to that the neck and body needs to reach thru and the other arm on the underside, so the traditional 45 degrees angle wasn't working, but I also had to change mine slightly.

I love how Adam wasn't sure which Proton Pack was his...really speaks to the quality of him *and* the model-makers!

That's incredible work. Given the size and cost though I just can't imagine there is anywhere close to enough market for this sort of thing to fund development and production.

just amazing

@Adam What became of your other subscription Ecto-2 build? I know it stopped under Eaglemoss, but was picked up by Fan Home. I enjoyed watching your build and weather it.

The fact that the lightbars have proper servos in them to make them rotate rather than just using LED's is utterly insane of a detail. GG Blitzway. No wonder it costs almost 2k

At 5:18 Squeal of Delight! 😁😁👍👍 Mike in San Diego. 🌞🎸🚀🖖

So beautiful! Would this company PLEASE make a 1/6th scale Bladerunner Spinner!!!

The level of detail here is nuts.

I've got both of the Hot wheels 1/18 ecto's and you need space for them. 1 of my pet cats had a penchant for chewing on the antennas from the cars, so they're a bit chewed. There's a full sized rustied version of this vehicle out in Australia and you get a view of it in a show MCM Mighty car mods on the show put on KZread late last night.

This is SO cool. I only wish that Bill Murray was there to add color commentary about how nerdy this whole thing truly is.❤️ I bet Aykroyd would also nerd out really hard over this. How fun would That be?!

Its a work of art.

Did you guys edit out the noise from the rotating lights on the original Ecto? Every review I have seen the mortors grind fairly loudly (mine included)? I was wondering about this in the original unboxing video as well. Love these videos. These cars are a work of art.

I love how norm is holding the directions and adam is just doing his own thing 😆

Totally awesome dude

Nothing better than oils washes and sponge chipping n rusting! I'm an armour modeller this is the type of thing I do daily love to create realistic weathered vehicles burnt umber over the non varnished white paint looks great

Badge ideas: CA gluing your fingers together Fingerprint in fresh paint Lost 10mm Socket Sawdust in eyes Inhaling paint fumes when you should have worn a mask Moving a project before the epoxy has set and you break it Breaking a 3D print while removing supports

Built the Lego Ecto-1 a few years. A lot bigger then a thought it would be. I had to move it recently and it was a struggle to find a place for it.

HAHA!!! I love that THIS Ecto is a "semi" 3-way, as the gunner chair door is a suicide door like the 3-way ambu/hearses!!.......but driver side is regular door configuration....somehow, I missed that the driver door was "normal in the Afterlife movie. Beautiful 1/6th unit though!!!...Watching Adam flip out at ALL the details was cool as hell!! Oh.....NEVER pinch the hose...

I absolutely Love ❤️ the idea of the Maker’s Demerit Badges! Failure is not just an option; Sometimes, it’s a necessity. - Me, I think.

Amazing! My only baby nitpick would be that the headlights should be closer to yellow than the cool blue LEDs they used, and the whitewalls were a lot more yellowed in the films, but those things would probably be easy enough to remedy

Adam, I think a display case that resembles the fire station is a must.

I want one! Not that I can afford it or have any place to display it, but I still want one!

Great unboxing! Always wonderful to see these vehicles! Quick question: are the motors for the lights on the original Ecto-1 working? If so, I’m not hearing the terrible gear noise that I have on mine and so many others. Did you guys do something to address that?

Whatever you do, don't cross the streams!😄

I would love to see a mirrored set of Scaled dioramas featuring these two Ecto-1's. The original (clean) one featuring the original cast from the first movie in scale with the original props and everything, facing the 'next generation' with the 'new' Ecto-1, and the Afterlife cast with all of their new props. It would tell a heck of a story of the old passing on the torch to the new.

Yes it’s amazing

A maker's dozen - Makers always make two of anything (hence 2x dozen badges), because we know we'll go to school on the first one.

Incredible vehicle.
