Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile (Anniversary Edition)

When it comes to iconic movie cars, few have the charisma and pop culture gravitas of the Ectomobile from Ghostbusters. As the beloved franchise hits its 40th anniversary, Hasbro Pulse has unveiled something truly special for the die-hard fans and collectors out there: the Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile (Anniversary Edition). This meticulously crafted homage to the original 1984 classic is a crowdfunded project that looks set to become one of the must-have pieces of Ghostbusters memorabilia, but only if it gets backed. So, Ghostbusters fans, now’s the time to channel your inner collector and help bring this stunning project to life.

The Plasma Series Ectomobile is not just your average collectable—this is a fully-featured celebration of everything that made the Ecto-1 one of the most iconic vehicles ever to cruise the silver screen. The Anniversary Edition comes in two model offerings—the Base and Deluxe models—and each one delivers the nostalgia-drenched charm in a 6-inch-scale package. The base model is more than enough to get fans drooling, featuring the Ghostbusters Plasma Series 6-inch-scale Ecto-1 with lights and sounds, four 1984-style hubcaps, a detailed decal sheet, and even a rolling gurney. Plus, the set includes two fan-favourite figures: the spooky Library Ghost and the always-hungry Slimer, complete with stands and accessories.

Celebrating Ghostbusters milestones seems to be becoming something of a tradition at Hasbro, and 2024 is a big one. Not only is Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire set to hit theatres, but it’s also the 40th anniversary of Ghostbusters and the 35th of Ghostbusters II. So, what better way to commemorate this than with a beautiful Anniversary Edition Ectomobile? Fans have already seen Hasbro’s genius through the Plasma Series Spengler’s Proton Pack and the Two in the Box Ghost Trap & P.K.E. Meter, but this time around, they went all out with the first-ever 6-inch-scale Ecto-1. And it’s big. We’re talking a hefty 22.5 inches long, packed with movie-accurate details from top to bottom.

No detail has been overlooked in bringing this model to life. Hasbro Pulse worked closely with Ghost Corps to ensure that every little aspect of the original Ecto-1 was captured—they even photographed a real-deal Ecto to make sure everything was perfect. This crowdfunded project will run from October 18, 2024, through December 2, 2024, and will require 12,000 backers to move into production. So, if you want a piece of Ghostbusters history parked proudly in your collection, you need to help fund it now.

The Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile (Anniversary Edition) is undoubtedly a standout piece, perfect for those who grew up with Egon, Ray, Peter, and Winston, and want to relive the magic. This is more than just a toy; it’s a loving tribute to a cultural icon that captured our imaginations. So don’t let the Ecto-1 drive off without you—back this project, and make sure you’re ready to cross the streams and catch a slice of Ghostbusters history. Who you gonna call? Well, apparently, it’s Hasbro Pulse if you want to add this awesome Ecto-1 to your collection.
