Unboxing the Ultimate84 Ecto-1 Decal Set

The fine folks over at Ultimate84.com sent over a set of their inkjet and hand-screen printed decal sets made specifically to adorn Ecto-1 replicas and… they are absolutely amazing. For years (decades even) fans have long discussed the best ways to get the classic no-ghost Mooglie onto their Ecto conversions or ‘59 Caddys - Kip Marshall and his team have taken the guess work out and created high-quality and screen accurate decals that make the process easy and effective.

As we talk about in our unboxing video below, screen-accuracy is key in the instance of Ultimate84 as the Ecto-1 that now sits on the Sony Pictures studio backlot parked in front of Ghost Corps is not quite identical to the version that Ivan Reitman and Co. filmed with in the fall of 1983. When two restorations were done decades later, subtle differences emerged on the car. Thanks to modern technology, we can now freeze frame on 4K UHD frames of the film and pour over every detail, and that’s just exactly what Kip has done not just for these decals but for the Ecto-1 in general as he strives to make every replica out there as authentic to the real deal as possible.

Ultimate84 is offering two versions of the decals for your use: an inkjet (digital) version limited to 200 sets at $225 and a rarer hand-screen printed edition limited to 40 sets. The latter, Kip is working to make sure are only used on as many ‘59 Miller Meteor Cadillacs as possible to make them completely screen accurate.

The production run is happening now and orders start shipping in September, so if you can’t live without these - make sure to head over to their website and order them today!

Everyone Can Relax, They've Found Their Coveralls

All has been quiet on the Ghostbusters (2016) production front as the film crew has gone back indoors and back into the secretive cover of interior shooting. But Paul Feig dropped a bit of a bomb this morning, not exactly your first look of the four new 'busters suited up and on set, but rather the four main characters' costumes...

The flight suits return.

On top of that, the new Ghostbusters appear to be a little more safety conscious than their predecessors with orange reflective elements added to the suits, as well as what appear to be shin or arm gauntlets which are down next to the military-issue boots. And it looks like gloves are tucked into the right-hand pocket as well.

The best part of the whole get-up? The traditional "No-Ghost" logo designed for the original film by Michael C. Gross (and one of the most highly-recognized brands and logos around the world) remains adorned to the uniforms' shoulders.
