Creepy Cruisers IV: Fall Colors Ecto-1

Not as cool as the Slimer version, but still very cool. I love the ectoplasm green tinted windows, sparkly orange paint, and shiny golden underbelly.







The orange paint has a hint of sparkle in it. I really like the green jack-o-lantern Hot Wheels seal.


The Ghostbusters symbol looks nice in green.


Later after dinner I discovered that all the equipment on top is easily removed revealing a secret sunroof! Stored away inside there are 4 proton packs!


If you look carefully you can see what looks like a ghost trap on top of the ladder.


So there you have it, Halloween Hot Wheels 2014 car #1. Cars #2-5 will be revealed later this week.

    1. So true! I do wish I had the original and Slimer versions, but I'm happy to have this one. Maybe one day I'll fork out the cash on eBay for Slimer Ecto-1, if I can find a good deal.

    1. It's an awesome 1:64 scale Ecto-1! It's was a huge pain in the butt to track one down, being a Kroger exclusive, so they're only available at Smith's grocery stores and Fred Meyers in my neck of the woods. The Ecto-1 one is the most popular of the Halloween set, so it goes fast. I hope you track one down, but if you can't find one let me know.

    1. Thank you! Yeah, I noticed it was a bit loose so I gently proded it until it popped off. I was pretty surprised to see the secret sunroof and proton packs inside!

    1. They seem a bit more scarce than last years batch. I didn't grab a single one from last year's series and now I wish I had.
