the exterior looks so movie accurate, the guys at playmobile did a great job capturing that iconic design of the Fire House and turning it into a playset
I have this image in my head of kids playing with this set and screaming "Captain, these men are in violation of the environmental protection act!" "Your mother!!!"
Even though I'm not a Playmobil fan, I love Ghostbusters and ever since Lego cancelled their Ghostbusters sets, I've been looking for other Ghostbusters toys in this style, so this will do.
5:58 Many people don't know this, but that device is the Spectral Analyzer from GB2 that they used to see if there's a living presence in the Vigo painting
To give an idea of how good the price is considering: When it was new, the Muppet Show Backstage, a much smaller but similarly expansively playable playset aimed at collector market was $89.99. This is pretty much one and a half times as big (with less paint deco but higher partscount.) This is pretty dang good.
Looks great but I have a couple nitpicks about it. The door isn't accurate. It never had a garage-style door. It was two large doors that swung open. Also, with it being mostly focused on the first movie, that Jeanine is from Ghostbusters II. Though I get her style was more unique in that one. Other than that, I wish it had a removable roof. Just something to make it feel more solid/complete.
I would love though some new small sets including library ghost from the library scene in small diorama,and don't forget freaking gozer as well folks.I believe that the terror dogs should be in a little bigger set including a small diorama of the backround in the top of the building,with gozer & stuff.Now lets see if everything goes well to see from ghost busters 2 sets & such,a vigo figure with that big portrait in a playmobil style would be awesome i believe!
We're really glad you can finally appreciate some Playmobil toys. They have always been very popular here in Italy, in Europe, and we are somehow used to their quality. They've got so many accessories! I'm sorry for the missing front light on your Ecto 1, but I suggest you to contact the flawless Playmobil customer service, and they'll send you the missing part.
Lego are way over their heads i believe they somehow loosing it in the price section,yeah the lego firehouse might be more accurate but 400 bucks plus for a toy is not something to play with.I was really frustrated when i saw that they left their minifigures line after the batman series in 5 bucks.In that manner playmobil should charge their own blind bags about 7 if we talk about the scale section and the work they put!
The Lego firehouse is better. Love that. Too bad the Playmobil Ectomobile can't fit inside the garage. But makes for a nice backdrop. The Ecto-1 and Ecto-1A is nice, but the firehouse is a pass... I'm good with the Lego firehouse.
I love it! That is a great looking Ghostbusters firehouse, it's good enuff to display it with other kinds of Ghostbusters figures and i guess many others are thinking the same and will get it for that very reason :) Wow, it even has it's own little Tobin's spirit guide! That is a cool little detail. So you were already thinking like i was, good thing that you go through how the old Ghostbusters figures would fit in with the playmobil firehouse, they are a little bit to big for it but it sort of works. Still is an awesome and cool set, it must be one of the best playmobil has ever done for sure. Awesome firehouse set and another great review Dan!
I checked the mini-mate size and it claims they are 2 inches... An inch smaller than these figures that come with it. However, I think that the size of Stay Puft would look great with the Lego GB's.
sgf129 - We’ll they couldn’t do a worse job than Hasbro. I bought the official Poe Dameron X-Wing and the figure that comes with it doesn’t even fit in the cockpit.
Well I wasn't gonna watch as knew be out my range. I just found out won a set on a Facebook contest. Gotta watch now. Impressed and stunned by this Lucky Streak.
getting this!! i dont collect play mobil at all lol. lego collector which i have the firehouse in lego which is awesome. but this is also a must ,ive brought 3 of the 6 available sets so far still sealed waiting to have all 6 first.
Oh, I can remember when I saw the old Kenner Ghostbusters HQ in the supermarket. It was big, it looked awesome and it was damn expensive. Now, I see this version and I have this big wide grin on my face. It is so big next to you and it looks so amazing... oh yes, this is a must buy for me. Playmobil, thank you so much for this awesome playground. My inner child screams in glee XD
You mentioned the Kenner playset but failed to mention the Lego Ghostbusters firehouse. I have the Lego firehouse which is already impressive. I wonder how that one looks in comparison to this one from Playmobil. I prefer the Lego firehouse more though. It just looks better overall and I like how the Lego one closes and opens up to reveal the interior.
Wow, such a nice work, all this details. I love all the small details. I would have freaked out as a child. I never had Playmobil. But the Ghostbusters stuff I might have written on my wish list :P
man, i alsway wanted the firehouse whem i was a kid. Never got it. But i had tons of Playmobil as a kid.So for me, it comes full circle. This version really looks great, i played around with it last week in a shopping center (they have them on some kids playtables in the toys section). That alone is so much fun because this Playmobil stuff has the right balance of generic/expressive so you can create all scene you want without clashing with the style of the toys. Great stuff.
A few inaccuracies garage door isn't accurate. Also with ecto 1 car there's three headlights on each side there should be two on each side bit of a let down.
How sturdy is this once it’s put together? I’ve seen this on Amazon for sometime now for about $59.59 once I put it in my cart and left it there for about two days it jumped up to $72.99🤦🏻♂️
is playmobil big in the us ? loved it as a kid, was just as fun as lego. my mother still finds little pistols and swords that we lost in the flower beds when she is gardening
The old Kenner one at least had a roof. Let's hope it never rains in Playmobil New York City. I never really liked it as a kid when playsets are only facades for the most part. But maybe that's just me.
Damn I'm at a loss for words! This is awesome! I was waiting for the pole reveal I didn't see it but than at the end when you said is the pole I was like oh there it is lol! Great review Dan!
just bit on 3 of these (firehouse, stay puft, ect0-1) because price is down on Amazon and Walmar...walmart about 5 buks cheaper, if you can believe that. So far, (nitpicking), I don't like the Library ghosts face being so dark because whe's suppose to be bright/light. I know, they are toys and not exactly representative of the actual characters. lol
Always great videos Dan :) keep it up :). Masters of the universe is comming to Cinemas :) So great, (even on Box Office Mojo ,2019) What's Your thoughts :) Just love all those Ghostbusters Playmobile.I had alot of Playmobile as Young, and so great to see them getting into franchises and cool stuff (these Ghostbusters are way cooler than any other) Also: go "GHOSTBUSTERS" :))
The best thing about getting these from Playmobil is that the scale isn't too far off from Minimates if you want some more articulated occupants for the Firehouse and Ecto-1.
Sorry to nitpick, but that computer is WAY too modern for the period this movie is set within. The screen would be black with green text at the very best.
@ ryan molinary I am guessing that her GB 2 outfit was more visually striking than her GB 1 outfit. Nice to see another Janine action all the same. Looking forward to Dan's review of the Terror Dog set with Peter Venkman and Zuul.
It is so much fun to see the old 80s/90s stuff getting a new lease on life in this playset ^^
so much nostalgia here...
I look at this 6 years later wow! I just started looking into getting back to collecting love this videos
the exterior looks so movie accurate, the guys at playmobile did a great job capturing that iconic design of the Fire House and turning it into a playset
I have this image in my head of kids playing with this set and screaming "Captain, these men are in violation of the environmental protection act!"
"Your mother!!!"
Even though I'm not a Playmobil fan, I love Ghostbusters and ever since Lego cancelled their Ghostbusters sets, I've been looking for other Ghostbusters toys in this style, so this will do.
super cool... i would love to see a TMNT sewer lair play set
Squizzy 614 now that would be epic! I’d love to see how Playmobil would do the turtles
I know it's kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Brayan Raiden I use flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Troy Kyle Yup, I've been watching on flixzone for since april myself :)
@Troy Kyle Thank you, signed up and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !
Not crazy about Playmobil but wow, I am impressed by this Firehouse playset.

saw it for 69.99 at toys r us yesterday.
So much detail but they didnt include the red buzzer buttom to activate the alarm!
Looks great but I have a couple nitpicks about it. The door isn't accurate. It never had a garage-style door. It was two large doors that swung open. Also, with it being mostly focused on the first movie, that Jeanine is from Ghostbusters II. Though I get her style was more unique in that one. Other than that, I wish it had a removable roof. Just something to make it feel more solid/complete.
I love that they chose Janine's look from part 2 instead of her plane jane librarian look. Much more flattering.
I would love though some new small sets including library ghost from the library scene in small diorama,and don't forget freaking gozer as well folks.I believe that the terror dogs should be in a little bigger set including a small diorama of the backround in the top of the building,with gozer & stuff.Now lets see if everything goes well to see from ghost busters 2 sets & such,a vigo figure with that big portrait in a playmobil style would be awesome i believe!
Damn, that Kenner firehouse needs some retrobrite ASAP. So yellow.
Personally, I like the Ghostbusters firehouse from the movies better than the cartoon one
@CtrlALlTerrorS no it wasn't if anything it was a light grey but was never yellow or close to yellow brown. Google images will clarify this
We're really glad you can finally appreciate some Playmobil toys. They have always been very popular here in Italy, in Europe, and we are somehow used to their quality.

Great value for that price compared to Lego. Playset of the year contender for sure.

The lego set is 16+ and you pay for the building experience
The Lego firehouse is better. Love that. Too bad the Playmobil Ectomobile can't fit inside the garage. But makes for a nice backdrop. The Ecto-1 and Ecto-1A is nice, but the firehouse is a pass... I'm good with the Lego firehouse.
My goodness, these sets are just all kinds of incredible! They are on point, with these!
This remains as impressive today as when it was first released.
I’m wondering how well the o-ring figures and the 1:18 scale Ecto-1 will scale with this😮
2:39
Lego Firehouse: am i a joke to you?
I love it! That is a great looking Ghostbusters firehouse, it's good enuff to display it with other kinds of Ghostbusters figures and i guess many others are thinking the same and will get it for that very reason :)
Wow, it even has it's own little Tobin's spirit guide! That is a cool little detail.

Awesome firehouse set and another great review Dan!
Pretty cool. I'd love to see what a 3 3/4" Star Wars or GI Joe figure would look like in the Firehouse.
Also hopefully playmobil brings out a motu line & thundercats, so we could get catslair & castle grayskull
Just now seeing this what scale would you say this is great video on the Ghostbusters Firehouse thanks.
I checked the mini-mate size and it claims they are 2 inches... An inch smaller than these figures that come with it. However, I think that the size of Stay Puft would look great with the Lego GB's.
all this detail makes me wish playmobil could get the star wars license.

Hi PixelDan... I want to ask you, when recieved your firehouse for gb playmobil set, was the package box pretty large, right like about atbleast 25"?
Using it for my minimates marvel collection
I believe Egon would disapprove of you calling it a 'silly helmet'. That's science, that is!
amazing detail, this is a great piece!
Well I wasn't gonna watch as knew be out my range. I just found out won a set on a Facebook contest.
Gotta watch now. Impressed and stunned by this Lucky Streak.

awesome . I do like how that massive Mattel Stay puft looks in scale with the firehouse. :D hoping to get this set along with Ecto.
Thanks for the vid. Getting this for my boys
Bit late, but would by any chance work scale wise with lego figures? I understand they may look a little small but not too ridiculous? Thanks
Wow, such a nice work, all this details. I love all the small details. I would have freaked out as a child. I never had Playmobil. But the Ghostbusters stuff I might have written on my wish list :P
Great video Dan! Nice review!!
How cool would it be if a company like Super7 designed scaled down versions of The Real Ghostbuster toyline figures to match with the Playmobile sets!
They did a great job with this. Enjoyed the review
man, i alsway wanted the firehouse whem i was a kid. Never got it. But i had tons of Playmobil as a kid.So for me, it comes full circle. This version really looks great, i played around with it last week in a shopping center (they have them on some kids playtables in the toys section). That alone is so much fun because this Playmobil stuff has the right balance of generic/expressive so you can create all scene you want without clashing with the style of the toys. Great stuff.
Boy, I would have loved to play with this as a kid! But I'll do it now... with my son!
I need this set.
This would be really cool to mod and customize and use it for gi joes.
A few inaccuracies garage door isn't accurate. Also with ecto 1 car there's three headlights on each side there should be two on each side bit of a let down.
I might be getting that for Christmas
Needs the 4 uniformed gb..it has gb2 jannine ..it needs dana slimer and the sklary brothers and ecto 1 for completion
How sturdy is this once it’s put together?
I’ve seen this on Amazon for sometime now for about $59.59 once I put it in my cart and left it there for about two days it jumped up to $72.99🤦🏻♂️
Picking this up soon, amazing set!!! Never had the Kenner firehouse so I must have this !!!Wonder why they went with GB2 Janine..?
Because she was sexy
Would've been nice if they included an interchangeable GB2 sign to hang out front
Will the Ecto 1-A fit in the door?
is playmobil big in the us ? loved it as a kid, was just as fun as lego. my mother still finds little pistols and swords that we lost in the flower beds when she is gardening
could this playset be for my Mattel 6inch Ghostbuster figures?
Not crazy about the look of the figures but it would still be worth picking up to display the firehouse without the figures.
can it be put away in the box once finished playing with it?
thanks!
Don't forget the LEGO Ghostbusters set that had the Firehouse to build
I'd have loved to see it compared to the lego version.
That price point is really good esp when you consider all that you are getting.
Would the Hasbro playset ecto 1 car fit in this firehouse?
I know this is a bit late, but yes. I have both, and the ECTO 1 fits perfectly in there, and can drive out.
The old Kenner one at least had a roof. Let's hope it never rains in Playmobil New York City. I never really liked it as a kid when playsets are only facades for the most part. But maybe that's just me.
I just watched ghostbusters frozen empire and it was great would highly recommend 😃
I might consider ordering all the sets directly from Playmobil.
Your the coolest can't wait for the new pixels to plastic
Wish I bought this when it was released...'for my son'.
I always wonder on why they made the marshmallow man toy small like that when in the movie he is giant!
Damn I'm at a loss for words! This is awesome! I was waiting for the pole reveal I didn't see it but than at the end when you said is the pole I was like oh there it is lol! Great review Dan!
not into playmobil style figures, but if FunKo or Super7 did a "retro" 3.75 inhc line LOOK OUT! They'd be perfect to go with these.
we think you are a great reviewer.
just bit on 3 of these (firehouse, stay puft, ect0-1) because price is down on Amazon and Walmar...walmart about 5 buks cheaper, if you can believe that. So far, (nitpicking), I don't like the Library ghosts face being so dark because whe's suppose to be bright/light. I know, they are toys and not exactly representative of the actual characters. lol
Lot of detail. I might get it
You can see how heavily it's based on Kenner's The Real Ghostbusters one, don't you think?
what is the dimensions of the base?
Do they have Janine in her GB1 look in any of the sets?
Nope. There is no regular Peter Venkman either, just the slimed version.
Always great videos Dan :) keep it up :). Masters of the universe is comming to Cinemas :) So great, (even on Box Office Mojo ,2019) What's Your thoughts :) Just love all those Ghostbusters Playmobile.I had alot of Playmobile as Young, and so great to see them getting into franchises and cool stuff (these Ghostbusters are way cooler than any other) Also: go "GHOSTBUSTERS" :))
That pizza is super cute
I still don't get the library ghost
My only gripe with this is that there's no roof.
Remember ? , It got blown off when Peck had the containment unit shut down. Lol
We need someone to sculpt the movie Ghostbusters in Playmobil scale.
There is also the lego ghostbusters fire house
The only thing I have against this set, jannie is in her Ghostbusters 2 look
I got it yesterday for £60 one word AMAZING
Shame there's no roof.
why does it feel like in Ghostbusters Frozen empire the fire department seems bigger
I want to play a house from Ghostbusters play Mobile
no slimer for it?
sirgrunt99 He is sold separately.
Is amazing, congrats👍
The best thing about getting these from Playmobil is that the scale isn't too far off from Minimates if you want some more articulated occupants for the Firehouse and Ecto-1.
Doug Glassman nice
We got one!!
My kid has that same face with his whole set:)
Awesome, love all thing GB!!!!!
Yo that's so cool
Too bad it's all open from the other 2 sides. They could have made it closed up and installed hinges to open up for play.
Nice playset...but Tytus and Megator on the background just threw up
Sorry to nitpick, but that computer is WAY too modern for the period this movie is set within. The screen would be black with green text at the very best.
Why does the Ray figure look more like Peter
I wonder why they decided to use the Janine from GB2
@ ryan molinary I am guessing that her GB 2 outfit was more visually striking than her GB 1 outfit. Nice to see another Janine action all the same. Looking forward to Dan's review of the Terror Dog set with Peter Venkman and Zuul.
AWESOME 🤩
very cool!
It took me like 10 hours to build it LOLOLOLOL
very cooool ,playmobil ghostbusters !!!
