'Ghostbusters' 2016 Spoiler: New Lego Set Hints at Possible Movie Details
Toy company Lego has a new set featuring the upcoming "Ghostbusters" 2016 movie. The set includes the four ghostbusters, their assistant, a couple of vehicles, an antagonistic spirit, and an even possible spoiler.
The toy company posted the official images of the toy set on its official Facebook page on Friday, Feb. 5. Dubbed the Lego Ghostbusters Ecto-1 and 2, the set includes the Ecto-1 car, the Ecto-2 bike, and six minifigures. The set features minifigures of the four female ghostbusters, Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy), Erin Gilbert (Kristen Wiig), Jillian Holtzmann (Kate McKinnon), and Patty Tolan (Leslie Jones). The girls' assistant, Kevin (Chris Hemsworth), and a red Daemon spirit are also part of the Lego Ghostbusters Ecto-1 and 2 set.
The vehicles and the four ghostbusters all look good, but there's nothing out of the ordinary there. The interesting bit can be found in the Kevin minifigure. Hemsworth's character, it turns out, has a two-sided head. One side shows his regular, normal guy look, but the other side shows him with red eyes. This means it's possible Kevin will get possessed in the movie.
Other than that spoilery bit, other details of the toy will most likely appeal to Lego collectors and "Ghostbusters" fans. Lego revealed that the Ecto-1 car features side doors and actually rolls. It also has a top that opens so owners can place minifigures inside. The vehicle can house up to four minifigures. The back also opens and can house accessories like ghost traps and four proton packs, which are also included in the set.
The Lego set is based on the upcoming reboot, which is directed by Paul Feig. The Lego Ghostbusters Ecto-1 and 2 will be available on July 1 for $59.99. Meanwhile, the "Ghostbusters" 2016 film releases on July 15.
