- Weathering does wonders! Adam unboxes the Blitzway 1/6th replica of the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the modified version of the iconic Ghostbusters vehicle as seen in the 2021 film. Comparing it to the pristine 1984 model he has in his collection, Adam spots the differences in not only the beautiful weathered paintwork, but the structural changes made to the interior to accommodate features like the swing-out seat and RTV ramp. Plus, a light-up 1/6 proton pack!

overpriced af...
@@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.
Awfully nice of them to do that. Did they ask you not to play any of the sound effects or risk copyright infringement? 🔊🦮
@@Puretea4711 $1,899.99?! Insane...
No kidding, $2,000??!!!🤑🤑 I love ghostbusters but that's just nuts.
Adam "I always read the manual" Norm "Does he thou?" and that look of a good friend. Well played.
Skimming is a form or Reading. lol
Norm more like a pet like that kid from Indiana Jones
I was so confused reading your comment at first lol. I thought “who is Adam Norm?” 🙂
@@masamune2984
ROFLMAO
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 🙂
O man now I want to see a 1/6 scale garage for all of your pop culture cars
That would be awesome!
Add some Phicen figures for added realism!
My friend was the one that built all of those details on the interior of the Ecto 1 for Ghostbusters Afterlife.
What's his name? Any post about it on Instagram?
@@makatron his name is Kaj, he was a set dresser.
@@STormnNormn2027 thanks bro, you can tell people involved on set loved the Ghostbusters lore
Please tell your friend he did a banging job, so much love and details in it
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.
I cannot help but think that a hatch on top would be more practical though...
@@leftoverthoughts2275 But then they'd have to move around all the gear on the roof rack, and it would take away from that cluttered look
@@AmethystPlays1999 An RWS, perhaps?
In case you're wondering. The roof rack ladder was moved to the other side in order to make room for the new gunner seat door.
As soon as I saw both cars side by side, I noticed that and had to look it up. It makes sense!
2 stunning pieces, very jealous
i have the blitzway 1/3 dark knight joker, such amazing detail
Adam is living the dream!!
Lots of hard work to get there though, I appreciate his talents and dedication.
But does he need to get these sent to him for FREE?!
When Adam filmed this video he never went home. He set up a comfy chair and a 6-pack......and just stared at his new Ecto-1 all night.
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.
You and me both. I can hear the conversation now:
Wife: "and just how much did this cost us?"
Me" "only a couple hundred dollars (for the next 36 months) LOL
@@gunnarbiker Better than 7 or 8 percent interest on a full sized car for the next seven years.
Not if it's for her. LoL.
Wouldn't it depend on how much you spent on it?
try rc planes you will be single before breakfast its stupid how much space it takes just build a 1/6 scale mustang
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.
It blows my mind that Adam is just casually friends with Jason Reitman
These Ghostbusters related videos have been fantastic.
*chuckles* It's Christmas morning all over again for these two. :D
I prefer the 1984 Ecto. It's clean and beautiful.
Great video as always.
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.
They did an ecto-1a, but is long out of production. They're around 4k on eBay.
Holy crap! That looks insane!
"I always read the manual!"
* immediately forgets to read the manual *
The sentence was true, but incomplete. It was missing the "… _after_ I screw up, so I can tell what I did wrong," part.
Unbox.
Assemble.
Admire.
Read manual at convenient time (to be determined later)
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.
Great looking model! Seeing these larger scale models this well detailed is absolutely astonishing.
Amazing! The seatbelts on the gunner chair is crazy.
Yes a 1/6 Phoebe 👓for the gunners chair❤
Like my RealDoll™️version of her
I love the genuine excitement these two shared while opening and examining this. Truly, these guys are still kids at heart. Love it!!
Just the way the door latched when Adam closed the door shows the level of detail invested in this model. Fantastic!
I know it's extremely expensive, but the details and workmanship are incredible !!!❤❤
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
This is the best video on CZcams I’ve seen this year. The enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for sharing. 😎
They need to make them rc cars especially the little guy.
Their joy is contaigious!
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!
Always fun to watch these two geek out over these things!
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.
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!
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
This was an amazing unboxing!!!
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.
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
17:45 The sound of the engine hood opening/closing alone. This is incredibly well designed. The attention to detail is off the charts.
So cool! What a beautiful detailed model
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.
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
Beautiful work
That is so cool! Especially to see both side by side.
@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.
That added gunner seat from Afterlife really shows Blitzway's amazing attention to detail! Awesome unboxing, Adam! Love the Ecto-1 itself!!
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!!
So cool! I have a little one that came out when the movie dropped.
What have I become? I’m watching grown men play with toys lol
I’m watching them play and then playing with said toys after…
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
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...
Adam was busting in the thumbnail 😂😂😂
What fantastic huge model cars!! I build 1/25 & 1/24 scale cars, but those are massive and hugely impressive!!
At 4:26 starts a micro discussion that cracked Adam up, and me as well. "Does he though". LOL
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.
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?!
Adam is one of us, just way more famous.
looks amazing , congr .. new model in collection 👍
The whitewalls should also be a tan ivory color. Beautiful piece, thanks for sharing!
Adam, weren't you building an Ecto-1 as a part of a subscription mail type service? I remember you getting new parts in and working on it everyone once in a while ...
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 CZcams late last night.
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.
Literally just got back from seeing the movie. Great film, all the feels again!
Missed out on the clean Ecto-1 but this one has sooo much character and the movies featuring this version were so much fun to watch! Just placed an order!
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!
Lovely expression of a love of the story.
Manchild heaven!
Adam, you are living your best life!
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.
Great video, guys...👍
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.
that is incredible
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.
I love the (de) merit badges, two names for it come to mind: Be LIke Adam Bundle or Failer is never a option.
Working on ghostbusters while growing up with it must be wild!! ❤❤
That is the epitome of awesome!
The expanded demerit badge offering should be called (in my opinion) 'The Perseverance Pack' as anyone who truly earns all 24 of these has quite obviously persevered in their efforts to make and create.
The level of detail here is nuts.
Holy cow that weathering is impressive.
Whatever you do, don't cross the streams!😄
Now time to build a 1/6 scale Fire Station.
Wow! This is an incredible model 😮
Adam: I always read the manual!
Also, Adam: instantly sets the manual to the side
That thing looks amazing!
Боже, какая же крутая вещь, у меня появилась ещё мичта в жизни👍👍
Adam, I think a display case that resembles the fire station is a must.
now you need 1/6 figures! :) love this vid :)
I quickly went to the link to buy... then reality chimed in. $2k, cannot do it. But wow looks awesome.
*1899.99 USD!!!!!*
While it is very cool and well done there is a saying that says “A fool and their money are soon parted.”
Adam: "I wanna shoot a special effects sequence."
My brain: ghosts driving Ecto-1?!
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.
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
Great video, I remember the Ghostbusters movie.
Got to play with a real ecto 1 and the time machine very fun have a look back to the future an more my favorite video I did
This made me smile
"We're going to need a protractor" - Quote of the week
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.
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
