LEGO | ‘Ghostbusters Afterlife’ Ecto-1 Revealed

Feast your eyes on LEGO‘s glorious Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters Afterlife

Even though the film has been pushed back several times over the past few months, there have been some seriously cool Ghostbusters Afterlife merchandise hitting the shelves. Reebok unveiled two pairs of exceptional sneakers in time for Halloween, and Hasbro has delivered some awesome collectibles ranging from action figures to Spengler’s Neutrona Wand.

Normally, these hot collectibles would be enough to have us dancing through the streets like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man rampaging through New York, but there’s more! LEGO has arrived to up the ante by unveiling its latest incarnation of the iconic Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters Afterlife. The 2352 piece set offers our best look at the weathered vehicle, and considering she’s been tucked away in a barn for thirty years – she’s looking pretty good for her age!

Here’s the official line:

“The LEGO Ghostbusters ECTO-1 is perfect for film fans that want to build their very own piece of the new Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie. With a moving ghost sniffer activated by the wheels, an extendable rear gunner seat, working steering wheel and a whole host of other paranormal detection equipment on the detailed roof rack, the set ensures you’re ready for any ghost finding mission. The car also would not be complete without printed versions of the Ghostbusters logo adorning the car doors making this the ultimate gift for Ghostbusters fans and movie car enthusiasts.”

 “I love creating LEGO vehicles and having previously designed the LEGO James Bond Aston Martin DB5, I loved the challenge of working on the ECTO-1,” said LEGO designer Michael Psiaki. “This is the largest and most detailed version of this car that we have ever created, It is crammed full of authentic features and easter eggs, that I’m excited for builders to discover as they put this model together.”

As amazing as this set looks, it cannot compensate for the fact that the movie, which was initially set for release this summer – has been delayed until June 11, 2021. Unfortunately, the COVID pandemic takes no prisoners and the entire 2020 release calendar has been decimated as a result. We can only hope the situation stabilizes enough for us all to return to multiplexes in the next year where the superstars of the supernatural will be waiting.

I ain’t afraid of no ghosts!
