    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    Take a look at it on screen, there?s dirt grime, looks like scrapes etc on the ?new? paint job. You went out of your way to voice your concern over the red paint on the fins, the steering wheel, and I assume the trim on the doors...this is ok by you, valiant even it would seem, but it would...

    I don?t believe it is die cast. Maybe has some die cast parts, but I think I read the bulk of it is plastic.

    Here?s what I did to my HW Ecto so I?ll probably be doing some mods to the BW one too. ;) https://youtu.be/Sqx4xx4kdRk https://youtu.be/UR-OhKiM7YE https://youtu.be/p1zeYx3p-8Q

    Are you going to cancel if they screw up the steering wheel, or are you going to voice your opinion on it? See the hypocrisy there?

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    I 100% could get behind it if the entire car was dressed up to look used as per the movie, and if the chrome looked like dirty old chrome...but I do not buy for an instant that that was their intent since the prototype clearly had a low cost attempt at a good chrome look, and zero sign of "age"...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    I am fairly sure all of the HW Elite Ecto have vac metalized chrome components, I think even the heritage ones did too, but the heritage ones were meant to be the low cost version with less detail and a cheaper paint application. Look at the lack of any real reflection or hard contrast in the...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    Thank goodness we have you to set us straight. Now that you?ve told me it looks exactly the same can surely see that it does...oh and I guess if I feel like BW changed the look to look cheaper after paying a non-refundable deposit I should just eat the loss and tell BW how awesome they are and...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    Sorry, but the chrome on the prototype is much better than on the ?production? one. You can see decent reflections on the rear bumper, on the portions of the fin chrome, on the rear deck light, and so on. On the production one all of those barely show any sort of reflection, and are very matte...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    This isn?t a case of some people never being happy, it?s a case of them seeming to cheap out at the production level. If people want it dulled to look as it did in the movie its far easier to go from good chrome to that then it is to go the other way. Almost impossible for most people to get a...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    It should be properly chromed period. This dull chrome look is cheap and lazy on their part and trying to justify it as being sort of accurate to the film is to completely ignore that the rest of the car is clean looking. Plus even if it the bumper looks better in those pics, the rest of the...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    Flat silver, or basically aluminum looking, does not even remotely have the same look as dull or dirty chrome. Even if that?s what they were going for it is a failed attempt plus why make the whole car pristine looking only to go for a ?aged? look on the chrome? They look to have skimped out on...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    I believe they also technically have the tail lights wrong. They may have copied my 1:18 customized one with lights from YouTube where I put red lights in the pontoon ends as well as in the fins. I?ve since come to hear that those were just reflectors and only the centre white part lit up as...

    Hot Toys - DeLorean - Mod ideas & Resources

    Yes it certainly would, though I have to admit I’m tempted! To me it’s a big flaw with the look. I’m just not sure how to get a brushed stainless look!
