Couldn't stretch to the price of a proper Ecto-1 in 1/43 so have plumped for an old Corgi Cadillac ambulance instead.

It's going to take a bit of work but'll be worth it in the end.  :D

How big is that stay puft marshmallow man. They used to do a 24" money box which would be just about the right scale I suppose..  :o

I was lucky enough to pick up the Ecto-1 about 3 years ago off ebay reasonably priced. The Stay Puft Marshmallowman is a money box approximately 11.5 inches tall.
I go to pieces so fast that people get hit by the shrapnel.

11.5" sounds a lot more manageable on the tabletop.  ;)

It's still a lot of marshmallow!  lol

Seeing these today got me looking on ebay for a suitable Ecto 1. The 1/43 Hotwheels ones are very nice but too pricey, I did find a nice Hallmark Ecto 1 though around $39 which despite being plastic looks really nicely detailed from pics and videos I've found and it plays the Ghostbusters music!

Would have been great if the lights flashed and had that particular siren sound but the music is still pretty cool.

 Now to order these minis as soon as they're in the shop.

Just checked EBay for disaster Ecto 1s;  :o how much!

They're 1:43 so way too big. Yes, way too big. Tell me they're too big and I don't need one!  :D

Way, way too  big.

And the Johnny Lightning 1/64 version is way, way too small.

There, now, you're safe.

I'm actually amazed no one had made any not-Ghostbusters already!

Khurasan has a great 15mm set....that's the only other ones that I know of.
I am looking for the following Deadlands minis:  Shotgun Thug, Lost Soul, Cleaners, Railroad Workers & Feral Dead. If you have any of these minis, or if you are one, please send me a PM.

I may have told my wife about the car and stay-puft. Maybe.

And the team... They'd work with Scooby and the Gang, right? Some kind of wacky 7tv universe crossover? Maybe?
