I originally thought Hasbro just recasted the original vehicle. The underside of the vehicle has a cover for the winch mechanism now. It was whiter when I first got it 4 years back from Ebay (I’m not the original owner). I also kinda wish they had included an alternative rooftop set piece to replace the swivel seat based on the cartoon
Personally, I prefer the Ecto-1 without the swivel seat. I sort of wish they made improvements to this somehow and allowed all four Ghostbusters to ride inside the vehicle. Too bad only the front doors can be opened (just like in the vintage). Too bad this gimmick was never seen in the Ghostbusters cartoons. Leaving it on the left by default will allow the wheels to roll freely and retract the claw while the car is rolling. To work the winch gimmick for the capture claw, you have to shift the Ecto’s exhaust to the right to allow it to lock and not retract when the car is rolling (NOTE: This also locks the rear wheels in place!) Heh, lucky… my set came with TWO orange ghost figures by mistake. The Swivel Seat can also be mounted inside the rear compartment of the Ecto-1. Swivel seat (unfortunately, I can’t find my loose vintage GB figures and I didn’t feel like opening the MOC reissue ones). I never got to handle the vintage set, so I have no idea if this was how it was packed back then too? It spans roughly 15 x 7.5 x 6 inches in dimension. The box is fairly large, just the vintage toy.
I still kinda feel bad Ray isn’t in this shot… The Real Ghostbusters reissue Ecto-1 (2021)
