they 110% nailed the Ghostbuster crossover stuff. The entire set of toys and comics are fantastic. Well worth it!

Love the pic.

Has there ever been a set of 3.75" Ghostbusters action figures, something along the lines of Marvel Universe, Star Wars or GI Joe?

Honestly no idea if there ever was a set, but this lego set really does a good job of duplicating it. It's a 4 pack available at walmart and such too, so it's readily available to find

This is a sexy beast. Might be the best set of tooling for an Optimus Prime figure too, it is fantastic, and the accessories and paint work is fantastic!

If ever I bought another of that mould, it would be this one. The Ghost Busters colour scheme works like a damned dream!

And is that a Pickle Brainstorm drawn in the background. He IS mad scientist enough I reckon!

It does! The only bummer is he didn't come with an axe like the comic, but I am about to remedy that this week!

And yep, Pickle Brainstorm! from Robots with coffee on twitter!

4 of my 6 Ghostbusters dudes arrived today, which enabled me to finally pair up some movie accurate ghostbusters figures with the ecto-bots! They look quite good together

I love that you include Crosswise in the group. That is perfect.

I hate myself that it took me a minute to figure out why Crosswise was there. :lol:

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't know anything about Crosswise 18 months ago. ScottyP gave me the idea for him, and he's been a perfect fit

New packaging photo, looks pretty bad buy that could just be because ectotrons robot mode is a bit pants. Hasbros packaging has been pretty good so dunno why this looks off

Nice, then mine should be coming soon too. I gotta make sure there is enough room on my GB shelf for a 2nd Ectotron too. Maybe I'll keep one in alt mode

Fellow Seibertron D-Maximus Primal has sent us some images of the new Ectotron figure with comparisons to the old figure and other crossover figures. He also described the main differences for us and gave a quick review:

You have a brand new and very stylish head sculpt, complete with a faceplate and some nice goggles. It's really nice, better than the original.

There is also retooling done to the legs. The ladder switched sides, and there are new molded bits to accommodate the switch while removing the ladder mounts on the original side.

The deco is inspired by the upcoming Ghostbusters Afterlife film, which was originally coming out last summer but was pushed a year. It's highly anticipated. The new Ectotron features a dirtier white, along the lines of the Star Wars Black Series Remnant Stormtrooper colors, as well as decent rust paint, cracked logos, and even a new logo and rear license plate deco.

It comes with an unpainted Slimer like the original, but also includes a new blue ghost from the upcoming movie.

Overall, it's a very nice new take on Eck. I would say the head outshines the original. And while the rust paint apps could use work, it does have a nice worm feel to it.

I'd recommend it to anyone with an interest in Ghostbusters, and even someone who has the original Ectotron. It's a good mold, and I really enjoy both takes on Eck that we've gotten.

Having him in hand, he is a really nice figure. I would recommend him to anyone who is interested and likes Ghostbusters. The new head sculpt is really cool!

Just picked mine up from Target in St. Charles, Illinois. I had to ask for him as they were still in the back. They had a couple left according to the sales associate. Looks great.

I really want one but I'm not willing to pay $60 for a deluxe figure.

Freaking Ectotron is Awesome! Made my weekly run and saw him on the shelf in a Target. Not sure if it was intentional but they placed the Ghostbusters next to the Transformers and Ectotron got a retail crossover as well :lol:

Here he got called in to deal with the ghost of Optimus Prime.

Question, is Ectotron (silver chest version) worth $30?
I just stumbled onto one on clearance (54% off) sealed in box, for $30 *Free Shipping), and wondering if I should take the plunge or not.

Any Advice?

Is he worth that?

I say go for it even if it's just to flip it.

To put things in perspective, that thing was normally 110$can over here. It's NOW "on clearance" at 76$can.

Just to correct a typo, it's NOW on "clearance" at 76$CAN at Toys R Us. The price will never, ever go lower than that. That's 59$US, meaning your regular price.

You will pay 30$US. That's CHEAPER than regular voyager price for here. Hell, that's DELUXE priced (or cheaper even than deluxe price). Consider yourself privileged.

Oh he is very worth it. Ectotron remains my favorite of the crossover figures, he is a lot of fun. The proton pack alone is wonderful and the way it works is great. I love both versions
