Ecto-1 Diecast with Slimer is a die-cast car based off of the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters. First released in 2004 by Ertl/RC2 Brands, Inc. under the Joyride brand. A reissue was released by Round 2 in February 2018.

Notes[]

The 2018 reissue has some conflicting information as it is labeled a 1:18 scale on package and on Round 2 Corps' website, however Auto World Store website notes it is a 1:21 scale like the original release.

The 2018 reissue doesn't actually have a brand or company logo on the packaging. While both of Round 2's websites list it as a Auto World brand release, the copyright info on the back of the packaging suggests that Round 2 has been licensed from ERTL Collectibles, which is owned by Tomy International, Inc. The only notes that reflect a Auto World brand tie-in is the item number "AWSS118/06".
