Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 14: Ghostbusters Afterlife Cereal Box

I picked up a family size box of the Ghostbusters Afterlife movie tie-in cereal way back in the beginning of September. I finished off the so-so fruity flavored corn puff cereal with marshmallow ghosts by the end of the month. There were not nearly enough of the blue and white ghosts. Sadly, there is no cheap plastic Ecto-1 toy or Stay Puft Marshmallow Man spoon included in the box.

Unfortunately, I really need to get a new digital camera one of these days since the back of the box came out too blurry to read. Usually, I scan the cereal boxes but I couldn't do that since it is family size, which makes it too big to fit on the flatbed scanner. Here is what the text on the back of the box says:

Halloween Countdown 2010 Day 1: Hot Wheels Ghostbusters Ecto-1

Seems fitting to start the first day of the Halloween Countdown 2010 with the Hot Wheels version of Ghostbusters Ecto-1. I actually found this at a local store several weeks ago and I grabbed it since I missed out on the version that Johnny Lightning put out a few years ago as part of their Fright'ning Lightings line.

The back of the Hot Wheels Ghostbusters Ecto-1 has the following information:
Born: 1984
Birthplace: Detroit, Michigan, USA
Designer: General Motors and Ray Stantz
Speciality: With rear pull-out rack, proton packs and a distinctive wail, this refitted '59 Cadillac was made for fighting slime.
