Re: Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures and ECTO-1
If people think that a fully detailed,built up,working lights,opening door...five of them and in 1/6 scale is way over the top at $950/1000, just look up resin/metal model kits of exoctic cars like Ferraris,Porsches,Aston Martins,Corvettes,etc,etc....$700 and up...in 1/18 or 1/12 scale...or...one of the few 1/8 Pochers model kits...$600/1000, you can rest assured that this 1/6 Ecto-1 will be going to scale model cars collectors and movie memorabilia enthusiasts, not only figure collectors. This is indeed an huge model and with a lot of details...in one of the photos you can see they even did the muffler system under the car, engine detail and bracing under the hood...areas that "could" have been omited to make the model less complicate for production and probably less expensive, but I am very happy Blitzway took the high detail route to do justice to this Icon of automobilia. About production and quality control, I think there should be no problem. Also I believe the Ecto-1 prototype shown is painted...not molded white plastic....look at one of the closeup pictures of the front fender..right side...you can clearly see somo spots of "orange peel" in the white finish.
This is what I'm waiting for to. The car is too big for most of us to display and will be a good 18 months from release. It's the figures we really need a better look at IF they are the final production pieces.
