The feature is super easy to use, which makes it perfect for kids. Since there are two separate switches, you can have one or the other or both going at the same time. The four blue lights flash on and off in aĬyclic order, tough to photograph (how many you see lit in any photo will depend on the shutter speed), but fantastic looking in person. The sound is the screechy European style siren, which repeats and repeats, perfect for driving parents and pets crazy. These buttonsĪre right on top and easy to reach, but small enough to be unobtrusive. Once the batteries are in and the roof in place, you can press one button to activate the sounds, one to activate the lights. There's a battery compartment inside the roof assembly that holds three AAAīatteries (not included). The sound and light feature are pretty straight forward, but they work great.

There are racks to fit four packs for the complete team, creating a perfect spot to store them. Their hands, and the packs can also be carried inside the Ecto-1. The assembly is simple, and they look fantastic. Of course, they also have their packs, complete with wands and hoses. The trap is particularly fun, since not only does it open, but there's a hole inside designed (I'mĪssuming) to hold the Slimer figure in place! I suspect that set will be the next one I pick up. There's a nifty PKE Meter, as well as a full blown Ghost Trap.

But there's also some specificĪccessories outside of these, which I'm counting here. This is a little tricky, because there's a car, two figures, and a lot of various parts going into the assembly of these things. These figures are built for play, with hands that work great with the specially designed handles on the various accessories, and just enough articulation to be fun. The girl bodies are *slightly* different than the boy bodies, but the differences aren't extreme. Pockets on the sides of the pants - but they are far and few between. ![]() There are some sculpted details - like the The two figures are in classic Playmoble style of course, with the majority of the details coming from the paint work. That means you won't be using this with your Mattel or DST figures, do don't even ask. Remember, these figures are only 3" tall.

Ten years ago they would have won, but ten years ago Hot Toys wasn't the force it is today. If you told me I could only collect toys from one company going forward and I had to get rid of everything else, Playmobil would be in the And then Playmobil announced their foray into licensed territory with the Ghostbusters line, and I had to reconsider.Īs I said, I love Playmobil.
