Action Vehicle: Glow Copter Vehicle is an unreleased action vehicle.
What is Known[]
The Ecto Glow Copter was a tie-in vehicle to the Ecto-Glow Line and was the closest item to being released than any of the other unproduced items Kenner had planned for late 1991. The vehicle was simply a reused mold of the Police Academy Crime Mulcher vehicle, which also went unproduced when that line was canceled in late 1990. The Ecto-Glow Copter is seen promoted with the Peter Ecto-Glow figure for packaging photography and packaging art. Rumor has it that a small number of these items were shipped to stores before the line was officially cancelled, but these rumors remain unconfirmed.
