It's only been just over a month since Chronicle Collectibles started promoting their range of statues based on The Real Ghostbusters, and they're pushing the range to the next level at San Diego Comic Con by revealing the next feature of the range: Ecto-1.
The price and release date for Ecto-1 are currently unknown, but if the cost of each figure is anything to go by ($149.99/£120.07), Ecto-1 could end up being close to the $200/£160.10 pricetag. Check out TOYARK's website for more photos of Chronicle Collectible's Ecto-1: LINK

It was 1990 when Universal Studios, in partnership with Columbia Pictures and Sony joined forces to bring the Ghostbusters Spooktacular to Universal's theme park in Orlando. Whilst the special effects show eventually closed in 1996, the Ghostbusters would continue to entertain guests in one fashion or another until 2005, including a battle with Beetlejuice, and a brief period in which the screen-used Ecto-1A was placed on display in the park's New York section.
14 years after the companies parted ways, the Ghostbusters will be returning to take part in Universal's annual Halloween Horror Nights this September, in the form of a haunted maze, featuring familiar locations from the Ghostbusters franchise, similar to previous offerings based on Stranger Things, The Walking Dead and Krampus.
Halloween Horror Nights begin at Universal Studios Florida on the 6th of September, and 13th of September at Universal Studios Hollywood. Visit the website for more information, and to book tickets.

Ant-Man actor Paul Rudd took a pilgrimage to Hook & Ladder 8 today to reveal a bit of news, that he'd been cast in Jason Reitman's upcoming sequel to Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II.
Full details about his exact role are currently shrouded in secrecy, however Variety reports he will be playing a teacher in the new film.
The news is likely to prove a popular decision, as Rudd has often appeared on "fan cast" lists over the years.

San Diego Comic Con has traditionally had convention exclusive figures. In the past, Matty Collector released a series of "marshmallow" variants of their figure series.
A four-piece set of "slimed" versions of Diamond Select Toys's figures of the movie Ghostbusters had been previously announced, but what is more likely to whet fans' appetites is a freshly-revealed set of Real Ghostbusters figures, featuring the famous spectral "ghost clones" from 1986's Citizen Ghost.
The set will also feature an angry version of the Stay Puft Marshmallow man, as well as a transparent blue Terror Dog, inspired by the creature's appearance in Egon's Ghost and The Copycat.
Although listed as a convention exclusive, the packaging also bears the logo for GameStop, suggesting a commercial release at a later date.
The "Spectral Ghostbusters" pack is currently slated to retail for $120 at Comic Con. Stay tuned for further details as they develop. Visit the topic to view additional images of the set.
