[/quote]Pretty much every toy company in the U.S. is either owned or partially owned by either Mattel or Hasbro, I was astounded when doing research on the history of the big two companies to see how many of their former competitors they had bought and turned into lines/divisions of their own company.
As to the Ecto-1 prototype it looks very good and at least the have the mold so that as Capt Cyan said they could potentially(as in if Ghostbusters 3 ever actually gets made or they shock us by announcing a new animated series) use it to give us an Ecto one to go with our 6-inch Ghostbusters.

There's a finer assortment of details, just look at how many more bits of trim the new one sports, ranging from the swooping pieces of crome over the headlights with miniature Cadillac sheilds, and as someone on GBN pointed out, the louver plates

This is the first time I ever even noticed the front hood vents. They aren't on the Johnny Lightening cars, the HW Ecto, the ornament, or even the polar lights model kit.

Binocs? You mean the thing on top with the two tubes?
That reminds me:
As seen in Groundhog Day. I wonder if that is a real device or just something they thought looked like something that might be found on a news van.

Looks awesome can't wait till it comes out. What scale is it??
Re: First pictures of Hotwheels Ecto 1 prototype
Posted: February 5th, 2011, 6:35 pm
It will be in 2 scales, 1:18 and 1:43 (that's O scale for you Model Rail buffs).

Antenna" so you're probably right about that. Of course, EVERYTHING on the roof is labeled as some sort of "t.v. antenna". I've called them "binocs" since my first build. I think that "sniffer" is too passive for something that's really cool. Fifthrider calls them "guns," but I think they look more like a piece of detection gear than weaponry.

"Ecto Scope" is another popular name for them.
