So after many years collecting various Ghostbusters figs. I finally came across a Ghost Buggy on Ebay, and I won it!      As you can see it is missing some pieces: the back antennas, the blue "retractible roof" and "Boat" head attachment. Also the front stickers aren't perfect, but all in all pretty good shape for being over 20 years old.  My question to you guys is, should I try to restore it? Try to get the front stickers reproduced, and find someone with the antennas, and blue roof piece and find a way to make mold casts of them? I mainly purchased this item for my future video series reviewing Ghostbusters toys of the past. Since very few of these bad boys are around, very few know how the G.B. functions. So... What do you guys think? |

Looks like it is in a real good shape (even if parts are missing).

Luke, The toys is marvellous the way it is, but I feel you should "restore" it... I'm not talking about re-painting, but just REPLACING the missing parts. By the way, I LOVE the "popped-up" head.  Beautiful, thanks for posting this... |

Looks like it is in a real good shape (even if parts are missing). Yeah I was really pleased. The paint and plastic are still in great shape, and the colors are still vibrant. The seller gave it a very vague description and picture, but I couldn't pass up the chance to buy it. |

cool! lol @ whoever put the mouth sticker on upside down. The other little stuff shouldn't be hard to find a way to make it. I think anyway.

It's basically considered Fangster's vehicle. It was in the episode I think "My Present to the Future" also the episode with all the dogs, Fangster uses it to transport them.

Ecto-Sweeper, Ecto-500, Ecto-Bomber, I'm looking at you... You cold technically count Ecto-3 as well since it never appeared in that form on the show. I think that is the main appeal to the Schaper line is their faithfulness to the show. |
