Kenner Instructions: Ecto-500

Both Kenner’s Ecto-500 and Ghost Sweeper toy line exclusives eluded me almost completely. By 1989 my parents must have been tired of buying me The Real Ghostbusters toys.

I was about three years into watching TMNT and immersed with their toy lines. Sometime after both series ended and the toy lines were just childhood memories I thought Ecto-500 was some European exclusive. I’m not sure why I had thought that. It could be because I never owned one by 12. Or by the time I saw one in adulthood it was on a popular auction site with the listing probably somewhere in England.

I’ve taken the original 4 page Ecto-500 Instructions, scanned them, and made them into 3 PNG files. I’ve also scanned and included the decal sheet.

I had a couple appointments this past week, one which took me out of town. In between and afterwards I’ve been working on the next two pages from the Kenner “chapter” of the Toys section. I spent the better part of the afternoon and evening on it today.

With the number of ecto vehicles Kenner produced I’m creating multiple pages to organize the toys and write ups.

Earlier in the week I wrote about Ecto-1, Ecto 2, and Ecto 3 on the Ecto Toys page. Today we take a look at ECTO-500, Ghost Sweeper which Kenner probably should have called an Ecto Sweeper, and ECTO-1A.

The third page will focus on the Ecto Bomber™. In the fourth and final page about the ecto vehicles that were made we’ll look at Kenner’s haunted rides.
