Hasbro HasLab Ghostbusters Plasma Series Spengler’s Proton Pack: hasbropulse.com/collections/haslab/products/ghostbusters-plasma-series-spengler-s-proton-pack Hasbro would like us to remind you that what's shown here is a prototype and that the final product may vary. Adam's review of the Hasbro Neutrona Wand: th-cam.com/video/_KM9ieVsFd8/w-d-xo.html
@@coloradomallcrawlers It sounds like Hasbro is listening to the fans and it will be as close to the screen-used pack as possible with only a few things changed. :)
I would buy it but I can't give hasbro 400$ (500€) now, Right before Christmas. Christmas with kids are expensive…. Sorry Hasbro a stupid time for the crowdfunding. I hope the packs still comes to a shop after all
Wait, did Hasbro ask for development funds from outside to fund R&D on this? I know this is a super cool build but WTaF? Like go fund me for a big Corp?
Not only that, but it's budget-friendly for any fan who don't have the tools nor the talent to make their own homemade proton packs. Plus, custom-made proton packs will set you back about $1,000 - $3,000.
@@SpaceWizardCosplay custom proton-pack is the way to go, if you have the money. For everyone else, this is the only screen accurate option. Making your own would be ideal. But to get it looking like one from the film, looks daunting. Great, if you got the DIY skills.
I have backed this project and after seeing your Vlog I got so so excited. Am 52 years old and it’s like an 15 again. I dragged my wife to the cinema on Thursday to watch the movie. My wife has just rolled her eyes after I watched this Vlog. Keep up the great work 👍👍👍👍
My only other proton pack is the original blue toy from the 80's so as you can imagine, this is a huge deal for me. Soooo so proud to be a backer of this. Truly spectacular work guys. You're very talented people.
@@Alpha0727 i also.. I mean My jaw drop all the time. just like Adams did.. I thought he was goin to have a meltdown when I saw his reaction when he hookup the wand to the pack..
I never thought I'd be able to have a legit looking proton pack because it would cost well over $2,000 to build a custom one. But $400 for this thing is a steal. So I threw down some of my stimulus money for it. Can't wait to get it!
@@RichardKutz, I'm trying to figure out if I want to do the same. I want it badly but at the same time I'm still building my Eaglemoss Ecto 1. But it comes back to this is a movie prop for $400 with lights and sounds.
I hope Hasbro knows this guy is a keeper, he's clearly a fan himself, and that is invaluable when creating products like this. Bravo guys, y'all knocked it out of the park with this pack. Egon would be proud 😉
I love how these two start out fiddling with this thing while the part in question is presented to the camera, but as they geek out more and more suddenly they switch to just showing it to themselves 🤣 I hope we never grow old and always show this level of enthusiasm for silly stuff like these collectibles ❤️
Always love it when Adam brings people he's excited to meet into the shop, it's always nice to see the mutual respect, awe and excitement of meeting each other :D so heart warming!
In the long history of Adam Savage, there have been many moments when the fans were jealous of what he got the opportunities to do. ... add another to the list.
@@notbuster126 Production starts in December of this year. The "Spring 2023" date was announced b/c of potential / on-going shipping delays worldwide. I wouldn't be surprised if they start shipping out late next year around Dec. 2022.
Now they just need to add a small subwoofer inside the proton pack to give the sound effects some bass in the wand. When the proton pack and wand is turned on in the movies that deep bass resonates!
@@andrewut7ya511 He's saying as a former QC manager, you can be fired for being too detail oriented, which Adam very much is. He has personal experience. What's your own personal QC management experience?
SOOOOO glad we unlocked the connection hose attachment. The only thing I'm hoping is that the hose itself isn't super rigid, like with a lot of other build-it-yourself packs. The hose in those kits is just too stiff and tends to stick out every which way, defying gravity. I'm hoping this hose is, for lack of a better term, a lot more "floppy" and loose and not so stiff and rigid. Fingers crossed!
Watching Adam check this thing out made me feel like a kid at Christmas! Nothing better than seeing pure love like this, no matter what it's for. Magnificent!!!
Just received the pack & wand over the last couple of weeks. The final product is a beast and a work of art. Congratulations to the Hasbro design & fabrication teams. Awesome work on this engineering marvel. Thanks for making our dreams come true…
One other feature I would add to this is being able to swap out the grips of the wand to make it look like the original Ghostbusters if wanted. That would be a pretty easy feature to modify I would assume
Awesome to hear that they're planning to make this pack customizable, hopefully as much as possible to easily change to GB and even GBII packs. The red cyclotron lights don't look screen accurate, so would be nice if they made those easily swappable. And please make an original film styled wand that is compatible with the hose connector! Should be easier for compatibility to make a new wand designed specifically for the pack.
You nailed it... Absolutely agree, 100%!!!!!! ........ A GB1/GB2 style Wand would go a very long way...... & would just feel much more accurate to the franchises Original History!!!!! 😀😀😀👍👍👍
I agree. I like the Spengler wand, it’s awesome and looks cool in the movie. But as an old school Ghostbusters fan, I wanted a wand that looks and functions like the originals. I tried my hand at modifying my wand, and although I nailed most of it, it doesn’t look ‘quite’ right. If they made one with OG hand grips and the original light bar, it’s buy as many as my bank account and budget could handle lol
I didn't know this but it looks like they made the original wand a few years back. I tried finding one but people are asking way to much for it. That wands asking price is higher than this pack coming out
@@chrisminton516 yeah, Mattel did the “neutrino” wand (the Spengler wand is called the “neutrona” wand, but same thing). The Mattel wand was less durable, and all plastic, but had better features like a crossing the streams mode and the bar graph was more movie accurate. Also, it had the original grips. The Spengler wand is a better product, but I wish they made one with the same quality that looked like the original (and also doesn’t cost $700 or more)
@Johnny 5 Stacks the prices can be just ridiculous on this stuff. That's why the only pack I currently have is the Spirit halloween pack and I just got it this year along with the walkie, goggles, pke and trap. I have no idea how to rewire things and no idea how to paint or mod in anyway. That is why I am so pumped that this is actually being made. I never thought I would have one so I don't mind waiting until Spring 2023. I already have the wand coming and I am glad that the goal for the hose was reached. I would love that last goal as well. That stand looks awesome.
I love Adams childlike excitement. I fondly remember my childhood version, including the pneumatic actuated trap, that's what made it so cool, that tiny bit of realism. My childhood brain would've exploded (much like Adams now) if I saw this new one back then. Great stuff.
This really is incredible. Glad I backed it and so glad it’s funded. What an amazing commitment by the Hasbro team to make something we would all love and treasure.
I backed this as soon as I saw it, a couple weeks before this video premiered. Getting this kind of look at the prototype has made me even more excited for it!!!
This is great! I've been a fan since the first Ghostbusters movie! I remember as a kid laying in bed not able to sleep watching the closet for ghosts. Seeing Adam's excitement and being like one of us is awesome!
I'm in my early 30s so I haven't had the honor of seeing the original Ghostbusters movies when they were in theaters so im soooooo happy that it'll have the og sound from the movies!? YES! THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS! CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE IT! WOOOOOOOOO!
They should add a function that prevents the wand from turning off after a few seconds. The Proton pack is very nice!! Can't wait to hold this in my hand and play with!
The pack powering the wand will not shut off automatically, like the wand does on it's own. It will be able to idle, but it will overheat and shutdown if you fire it continuously.
got 2 wands and backed one proton pack. I can't wait! So happy! Thank you for showing this.. I know it's a proto-type but it is so beautiful. Thank you Adam and Hasbro. Please please keep on updating or even do an update video during the way! Would love that! if not, still THANK YOU!
In the year 2135, someone will show up on Antiques Roadshow with one of these that they found in their Great-Grandmother's attic. They won't know what it is, but they found out that it is NOT a part of the heating system. I am interested in finding out how the appraiser geeks out about it, and explaining it to contemporary audiences.
This has me so excited. Backed this project and seeing this video has me so much more excited for it. Halloween and convention season 2023 is going to be amazing!
I absolutely love it and this video - thank you. I backed the pack and I’m glad it’s getting a release. Finally a 1:1 scale replica for a reasonable price.
I'm so glad you guys made this video.. I wasn't sold on buying this pack when it was announced with the stock photos, but this video has changed my mind.. Hopefully u guys change your mind and and the Alice frame to it.. either way, I'm getting it.. awesome jib.. I'm sold now!!
Yeah, without the ALICE frame it just doesn’t quite sit right. It’s sitting a little too low. My custom pack that I built was built to the original pack’s specs, and I can lean my head back and just graze the top of the crank generator box (the one with the turn knob top off center) with the back of my head. But it still looks fantastic. Switch out the straps and add an ALICE frame, and maybe upgrade the amplifier and speaker, and it’s perfect. Oh, and they need to change the rectangular rods to the hexagonal “pencil” shape rods as well. That would annoy me to no end lol
Yeah it's a bummer it doesn't come with one, but I guess I can understand how Hasbro isn't really set up to manufacture metal Alice frames. Either that or they don't have the rights to it.
@@davidjames1389 there's a lot of reasons why they can't, licensing, manufacturing, and the fact that the size of it will significantly add to shipping cost
Its so sweet seeing adam geek out like this! I soooooooo want ine of these and the wand but i just would give it the attention and love like real ghostbusters fans would.
Thank you for showing this beautiful piece in detail, I'm glad that backed the project. Only with the light sequence I hope that it will be revised because in Afterlife it is really a continuous running light rotating through the red windows, as you showed in the video "Adam Savage Inspects Ghostbusters: Afterlife's Hero Props!" and they should actually be able to do that with the LED fields. And in 1984 Mode, they should only flare up one at a time. But if every LED field has a light rotating one after the other, it doesn't look right. I also hope that they implement different speeds here, like in the 1984 film. But overall it is a really impressive prototype.
I like the little features to where we could add anything to the pack. Part of me is wishing for them to also add the attachments for the shock blast, ooze blaster and collider from the video game. They already did the options on the wand. Go all the way. TAKE MY MONEY!!
I love that everybody who visits is trying to avoid freaking out to be in the presence of Adam, and he's always freaking out about being in the same room as the guest!
Adam, you had me when you referred a designed open SWITCH as a "HUG." As an electrical engineer, I've never heard a switch being referred to as a hug. EPIC!!!
20:46 It's a rare occasion to see Adam at a complete loss for words, but we all know that when that does happen, it means something very, very special and amazing has happened. Seeing Adam like this has put the biggest, goofiest grin on my face because he is all of us Ghostheads right now.
For anyone on the fence... this is probably the most realistic proton pack you'll ever be able to buy especially for only $399. After December 12th, your opportunity will be gone forever.
Not really. You can get proton pack kits with the wand online for a little more than this. Sure you got to put it together and paint it but they better quality, more screen accurate and the paint job is a breeze.
@@standepain You pretty much backed up my point. That pack costs a lot more and you have to put it together and paint it yourself. This requires zero effort and is the most realistic pack available in that category and at that price.
@@standepain Proton pack kits with a fiberglass shell including the wand kit, lights, and sound board can start around $800 or more. This is the best value any Ghostbusters fan could ask for. My homemade pack cost nearly $400 and was made from recycled stuff from around the house. I did add the Hasbro Spengler's Neutrona wand last year, of course which added another $100 to my overall cost.
28:15 Wow, Adam's "that's great!" sounds just like Ray did in the first Ghostbusters when Venkman got slimed by Slimer! Which ironically was their first test of the proton packs as well.
This is amazing! So happy we decided to back this. It can’t come soon enough! Just add a feature that stops the wand powering down please! It powers down much too quickly on standby.
Haven't quite finished the video yet, but when Adam turned it on, it occurred to me that a Bluetooth connectivity option would be awesome. To power it on and feel the room surge with power would be fun af.
I preordered and this video has solidified my confidence that they will be worth the wait and money spent now. If you want one and haven't ordered one yet--DO IT! Funding it now is likely the cheapest you will ever get them before the funding window closes.
Just backed the pack before watching this video and I wish I didn’t… CAUSE IM THAT MUCH MORE EXCITED AND NEED IT NOW!!! 😂 already have the wand and was so impressed with it so the pack was a must especially at that price point. But after seeing this, the price is a steal and I cannot wait to have mine in hand.
Very intrigued by this but concerned that the pack itself doesn't seem to have that overwhelming THRUM when it gets switched on. For me, when a proton pack gets powered on it takes over the scene and definitely the few times I've been around an amazing replica pack in person. All I hear here is a whirring/clacking. I hope they can tweak the sound settings to replicate what's heard in the films
It's there at 19:35, but it doesn't have the required bass response to bring it out properly. Also 28:22 - it's very muted compared with the other sounds.
It's Definitely All About That Startup Sound, It's Just As Clear In My Memory as When I Seen it On Opening Night in 1984. and Every Time I Watch It, I Look Forward to That Sean in The Elevator !!!
That is the coolest looking proton pack I've ever seen other than the actual movie props! I had a smile on my face through this entire video! (So did Adam, apparently)
This is insane. I can't believe this is something that's going to be produced in quantity. He's absolutely right, the easter eggs are often some of the best parts.
Admittedly, I've never even seen Ghostbusters, but I'm incredibly impressed with this! The realism and attention to detail are things I always dreamed of toys having as a kid.
@@CallistaZM oh for sure! It's why i wish I could justify backing this... pack! But seriously... see these movies if you would like to be impressed by brilliant film making!
I am so pumped about this but please use the extra pack space to beef up the sound, that is crucial! Even if you charge a bit more please make it loud, or at least an easy upgrade to make it loud
I really don't know why I'm so tickled about seeing the precision milling blocks used as a prop to prop up the proton pack.... Maybe it's the SoCo.... Lol But the absolute absurdity of using precision blocks to prop up such an amazing replica of a movie prop is just thoroughly enjoyable, thank you Adam for an awesome video and your genuine fan appreciation of something I so dearly love.
Why is this video 20x better than an hour longer hadlab presentation featuring the product. They didn’t even power it on in a presentation trying to promote the backing
I'm a bit worried about the speaker not being loud enough. It definetely isn't a loud speaker in the wand. I also hope it can play the ghostbusters tune too.
I actually appreciate that it's something that costs more but so it can be much more accurate rather than a dumbed down version of a thing. I think companies like Hot Toys and the like have proved that there's such a big market for that and it's really cool to see
@@Doctors_TARDIS Indeed. It also looks better here than any of the promo shots from the haslab page. If I didnt build my own kit I would consider backing the project. My only major concern is how durable the materials are here. I know my pack could take some punishment but I dont think this is something I'd actively cosplay in at a con or party. I own the wand and there are sections that feel a little too delicate. No hate towards Hasbro on this, it's a good value but like everything in life "you get what you pay for". I really hope they end up releasing a classic trap and pedal at retail in the future, would be 100% on board for that.
@@Doctors_TARDIS I'm not insinuating that its trash. It just feels brittle in spots, notably the front barrel. I'm also comparing it to my kit built wand that has an aluminum handle and barrel, and a very thick resin gun box. I'm glad Hasbro is doing what they are doing, no hate from this builder but I wouldn't trade my pack for 2 of these ones.
I cant believe i missed this when it was backable.....i hope i can still get one someday. Absolutely a dream for a kid from a generation before such amazing reproductions....my proton pack was cardboard because they didnt even sell one when i was growing up.....i mean other than the little childs toy that was not a serious replica. Its so nice to see Hasbro letting its engineers do passion projects like this...
@@sgtpepper1138 I wanted to also suggested to anyone with a rubie's ghost trap might want to add an led upgrade to it. something around 2000 or 3000 lumen would be cool.
They really need to start showing off how this pack could be easily converted to an 84' version. All they have so far are the 84' clean decals - but what is the point of those if you can't make the pack look like it did before Egon's mods? I know a designer from Hasbro on a forum said those hideous copper wire parts are designed to come off, but how about showing that in action? Is it as easy as pulling them off, or is it more involved? This pack also just demands a real 84' wand that sends the sounds to the pack. Now that the hose is backed, they need use forward thinking and engineer it to have this feature in a compatible wand. I honestly think it was a dumb idea to make this one specific pack in the first place. The "Classic Bundle" should feature a brand new white ribbon cable that you can replace the browned dusty one. It should have simply been a Proton Pack with all kinds of little parts that you can put on it to make it whatever era pack you wanted. They seem dead set on it being an Afterlife pack, yet why do the decals and have 84' pack sounds and lights?
Looks like copper wiring around the Clipper valve is easily removable on the video (they seem to be rubbery and held in by pegs). Seeing how the wires easily come off makes it seem the conversion would be straight forward. The screws inside the cyclotron to the red lenses is another easy access, and probably just a matter of swapping out the lens/LEDs.
Can't wait to get this, but really wish Adam had asked about them making a Ghost Trap as well, since we're really needing something better than the cheap Rubies version.

Adam, you are correct on the 'extra' switch. It was added originally in the wrong spot at the prop house. We corrected it in our shop on the show.
Does that mean the switch does no appear in any scenes?

There will undoubtedly be "upgrade" kits for this thing as soon as it is released made by fans. If you have the will, someone has made the way lol
In their defense, the noise is coming from the neutrona wand. I don't think they put the sound effects in the pack itself yet.
@@oppenheimer11 L. There’s no sounds yet in this prototype. They pointed out in this video where the speaker and volume knob is on the pack 🤦🏽♂️
I'm in my early 30s so I haven't had the honor of seeing the original Ghostbusters movies when they were in theaters so im soooooo happy that it'll have the og sound from the movies!? YES! THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS! CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE IT! WOOOOOOOOO!
They should add a function that prevents the wand from turning off after a few seconds. The Proton pack is very nice!! Can't wait to hold this in my hand and play with!
Yes THIS^^^^^
The pack powering the wand will not shut off automatically, like the wand does on it's own. It will be able to idle, but it will overheat and shutdown if you fire it continuously.
They put in so much thought and care into this design, I’d be shocked if they didn’t include that.
@@ericschilling9064 Hi Hope so.
Are you getting one? Sucks that the usa has free shipping but they charge us like 40 bucks plus other fees here in Canada
got 2 wands and backed one proton pack. I can't wait! So happy! Thank you for showing this.. I know it's a proto-type but it is so beautiful. Thank you Adam and Hasbro. Please please keep on updating or even do an update video during the way! Would love that!
if not, still THANK YOU!
Im not a ghostbuster fan in a cosplay context, just a fan from the 80s. But this pack makes my fingers itch.
That is bloody great work!
Same here. I'm not a cosplayer but always wanted the uniform and proton pack just to display.
In the year 2135, someone will show up on Antiques Roadshow with one of these that they found in their Great-Grandmother's attic. They won't know what it is, but they found out that it is NOT a part of the heating system. I am interested in finding out how the appraiser geeks out about it, and explaining it to contemporary audiences.
This has me so excited. Backed this project and seeing this video has me so much more excited for it. Halloween and convention season 2023 is going to be amazing!
Two of my favorite makers in one spot! Love seeing Warden with Adam. Great vid!
I absolutely LOVE watching Adam freak out over this and enjoying the hell out of it.
"What would you put in there?"
Twinkies, surely.
Twinkies and a few Crunch bars. :)
@@SpaceWizardCosplayYoy can hide your wallet in their as well
I absolutely love it and this video - thank you. I backed the pack and I’m glad it’s getting a release. Finally a 1:1 scale replica for a reasonable price.
I'm wanting a Phoenix pack
Watching Adam gush at this just pushed me to backed this project, it just means that the GB hasbro team did a lot of correct things for the fans. Ty
I'm so glad you guys made this video.. I wasn't sold on buying this pack when it was announced with the stock photos, but this video has changed my mind.. Hopefully u guys change your mind and and the Alice frame to it.. either way, I'm getting it.. awesome jib.. I'm sold now!!
Yeah, without the ALICE frame it just doesn’t quite sit right. It’s sitting a little too low. My custom pack that I built was built to the original pack’s specs, and I can lean my head back and just graze the top of the crank generator box (the one with the turn knob top off center) with the back of my head. But it still looks fantastic. Switch out the straps and add an ALICE frame, and maybe upgrade the amplifier and speaker, and it’s perfect. Oh, and they need to change the rectangular rods to the hexagonal “pencil” shape rods as well. That would annoy me to no end lol
They said they are including the gear to connect the frame, it's not that hard to just grab one from a army surplus store or even Amazon for $50
Yeah it's a bummer it doesn't come with one, but I guess I can understand how Hasbro isn't really set up to manufacture metal Alice frames. Either that or they don't have the rights to it.
@@davidjames1389 there's a lot of reasons why they can't, licensing, manufacturing, and the fact that the size of it will significantly add to shipping cost
It's awesome to see Adam geek out and turn into a big kid like me. This is going to easily be the coolest toy I've ever owned!!!
I totally guessed the exact purpose of those internal switches. This thing far exceeds expectations.
It was a joy to see Adam geek out!
Its so sweet seeing adam geek out like this! I soooooooo want ine of these and the wand but i just would give it the attention and love like real ghostbusters fans would.
If I was on the fence about this in even the slightest bit before, this video put me over the edge. 100% worth the backing!
Same. Was on the fence, then saw this. Deal signed in the blood of Gozer.
I ALMOST missed out, I procrastinated until there was only 1 hour left before I pulled the trigger
I hope that Hasbro can do one last Kenner re-release. The firehouse.
I love how humble Adam is considering he’s a celebrity himself. The sheer joy he shows for this is infectious. Adam, you’re a treasure.
Thank you for showing this beautiful piece in detail, I'm glad that backed the project. Only with the light sequence I hope that it will be revised because in Afterlife it is really a continuous running light rotating through the red windows, as you showed in the video "Adam Savage Inspects Ghostbusters: Afterlife's Hero Props!" and they should actually be able to do that with the LED fields. And in 1984 Mode, they should only flare up one at a time. But if every LED field has a light rotating one after the other, it doesn't look right. I also hope that they implement different speeds here, like in the 1984 film. But overall it is a really impressive prototype.
"Doe" "Ray" "Egon!" Love that power up sequence from II.
I like the little features to where we could add anything to the pack. Part of me is wishing for them to also add the attachments for the shock blast, ooze blaster and collider from the video game. They already did the options on the wand. Go all the way. TAKE MY MONEY!!
That would be amazing.
Wish they would've made features like that as the unlockable tiers.
I love that everybody who visits is trying to avoid freaking out to be in the presence of Adam, and he's always freaking out about being in the same room as the guest!
Adam, you had me when you referred a designed open SWITCH as a "HUG." As an electrical engineer, I've never heard a switch being referred to as a hug. EPIC!!!
20:46
It's a rare occasion to see Adam at a complete loss for words, but we all know that when that does happen, it means something very, very special and amazing has happened. Seeing Adam like this has put the biggest, goofiest grin on my face because he is all of us Ghostheads right now.
For anyone on the fence... this is probably the most realistic proton pack you'll ever be able to buy especially for only $399. After December 12th, your opportunity will be gone forever.
Not really. You can get proton pack kits with the wand online for a little more than this. Sure you got to put it together and paint it but they better quality, more screen accurate and the paint job is a breeze.
@@standepain You pretty much backed up my point. That pack costs a lot more and you have to put it together and paint it yourself. This requires zero effort and is the most realistic pack available in that category and at that price.
@@standepain Proton pack kits with a fiberglass shell including the wand kit, lights, and sound board can start around $800 or more. This is the best value any Ghostbusters fan could ask for.
My homemade pack cost nearly $400 and was made from recycled stuff from around the house. I did add the Hasbro Spengler's Neutrona wand last year, of course which added another $100 to my overall cost.
Bummed Hasbro won't ship this outside the US. There is an Australian retailer taking pre-orders but the asking price is $1k!
I’ve backed it and I’m in the uk they do ship outside US look in to it
Awesome video!!!! Thanks for showing the pack, and making me even more happy that I backed this Haslab project.
March 2023!! 😢
I have the wand already, it’s fab 👍🏻
28:15
Wow, Adam's "that's great!" sounds just like Ray did in the first Ghostbusters when Venkman got slimed by Slimer!
Which ironically was their first test of the proton packs as well.
So, so glad I backed this project. It looks amazing!
This is amazing! So happy we decided to back this. It can’t come soon enough! Just add a feature that stops the wand powering down please! It powers down much too quickly on standby.
This Hasbro set looks friggen phenomenal. And after seeing Afterlife, I'm more stoked to finish my Egon cosplay
Haven't quite finished the video yet, but when Adam turned it on, it occurred to me that a Bluetooth connectivity option would be awesome. To power it on and feel the room surge with power would be fun af.
That’s a great 👍🏼 idea
I hope the start up sound is there when you flip the switch on the pack.
I preordered and this video has solidified my confidence that they will be worth the wait and money spent now. If you want one and haven't ordered one yet--DO IT! Funding it now is likely the cheapest you will ever get them before the funding window closes.
So happy ! Ordered mine! It's really a dream come true !
I was completely committed to making my own, inspired by Adam’s but this totally sold me on backing the project. Dammmmyouuuuuuuuu!!!! :)
Just backed the pack before watching this video and I wish I didn’t… CAUSE IM THAT MUCH MORE EXCITED AND NEED IT NOW!!! 😂 already have the wand and was so impressed with it so the pack was a must especially at that price point. But after seeing this, the price is a steal and I cannot wait to have mine in hand.
Yeah. The wait is already killing me.
@@RichardKutz I hope since this was so successful that they do the trap, goggles and PKE down the road!
@@terrortoons7864 they released the ecto goggles last year, I have a set
@@codyt821 Really?! I didn't know that! i'll have to go look for them.
The joy in Adam's face is priceless!
Very intrigued by this but concerned that the pack itself doesn't seem to have that overwhelming THRUM when it gets switched on. For me, when a proton pack gets powered on it takes over the scene and definitely the few times I've been around an amazing replica pack in person. All I hear here is a whirring/clacking. I hope they can tweak the sound settings to replicate what's heard in the films
Final product will, this prototype still didn't have the sound board installed
Agreed. It needs that awesome startup sound that you get from the wand.
This.
It's there at 19:35, but it doesn't have the required bass response to bring it out properly. Also 28:22 - it's very muted compared with the other sounds.
It's Definitely All About That Startup Sound, It's Just As Clear In My Memory as When I Seen it On Opening Night in 1984. and Every Time I Watch It, I Look Forward to That Sean in The Elevator !!!
That is the coolest looking proton pack I've ever seen other than the actual movie props! I had a smile on my face through this entire video! (So did Adam, apparently)
Whelp, there goes another $400. Great video, thanks Adam and John. Incredible piece!
This is insane. I can't believe this is something that's going to be produced in quantity. He's absolutely right, the easter eggs are often some of the best parts.
Admittedly, I've never even seen Ghostbusters, but I'm incredibly impressed with this! The realism and attention to detail are things I always dreamed of toys having as a kid.
Good reason to see it! The new movie is very good but I would highly recommend seeing the 1984 one first
...
HOW?!?!
that's like being a fan of lightsabers but never seen star wars???
I will mail you my Ghostbusters DVDs TODAY if you want!!!
@@RandomStuffGarage619 I mean, people can be impressed by brilliant engineering XD
@@CallistaZM oh for sure! It's why i wish I could justify backing this... pack!
But seriously... see these movies if you would like to be impressed by brilliant film making!
I hope Adam is getting a kickback on these because this is the best toy commercial ever!
I am so pumped about this but please use the extra pack space to beef up the sound, that is crucial! Even if you charge a bit more please make it loud, or at least an easy upgrade to make it loud
I really don't know why I'm so tickled about seeing the precision milling blocks used as a prop to prop up the proton pack.... Maybe it's the SoCo.... Lol But the absolute absurdity of using precision blocks to prop up such an amazing replica of a movie prop is just thoroughly enjoyable, thank you Adam for an awesome video and your genuine fan appreciation of something I so dearly love.
I love the versatility and use of my milling blocks.
Weights, rests, guides... love em!
It would be awesome if they make the stand so it can be a wall-mountable bracket, not just a free-standing piece.
You have a hand drill and some brackets? Bam wall mount. Seriously though it would be nice to have that built in to the stand.
I am SOOO glad I backed this Haslab!
I'm still really impressed with how they made it so the Proton Pack powers the Neutrona Wand with no batteries in the wand needed.
And just think you're getting a proton pack that features sounds that were NOT in the film... Not even close to being accurate... 🙄
@@christopherniceley8848 well it's not made get and won't be delivered til spring 22 so maybe they'll change that by then
@@jesiahdechanel198 wrong. You're not getting this until 2023...
@@christopherniceley8848 well then that just backs me up even more that they will change it to what the fans want, 🙄 hahahah
Why is this video 20x better than an hour longer hadlab presentation featuring the product. They didn’t even power it on in a presentation trying to promote the backing
I'm a bit worried about the speaker not being loud enough. It definetely isn't a loud speaker in the wand. I also hope it can play the ghostbusters tune too.
This is so bloody AMAZING!!!! I really want one along with the neutrona wand.
7 minutes. That's how long I was silently smiling like an idiot before I realized I was doing it. Amazing pack!
It is always fun and educational when Adam goes "Rain Man" about something.
Woah, what an awesome guest. Hope you can work with them again, perhaps a trip to their workshop or studio?? 🙂
I'm going to cry opening this when I finally receive it. I'm so excited to see the finished product with my own eyes!
Like a kid on Christmas opening the Kenner proton pack.
I agree, leds are handy but incandescent lamps have a more vintage warmer analogue glow.
The extreme ghostbusters proton pack had a small storage compartment. It was probably it's best feature.
I actually appreciate that it's something that costs more but so it can be much more accurate rather than a dumbed down version of a thing. I think companies like Hot Toys and the like have proved that there's such a big market for that and it's really cool to see
Compared to building your own pack this thing is a fraction of the cost
@@Doctors_TARDIS Indeed. It also looks better here than any of the promo shots from the haslab page. If I didnt build my own kit I would consider backing the project. My only major concern is how durable the materials are here. I know my pack could take some punishment but I dont think this is something I'd actively cosplay in at a con or party. I own the wand and there are sections that feel a little too delicate. No hate towards Hasbro on this, it's a good value but like everything in life "you get what you pay for". I really hope they end up releasing a classic trap and pedal at retail in the future, would be 100% on board for that.
@@Turtlepower1982 I'm surprised to hear you say that about the wand. 1/3 of my local Ghost Corps use it
@@Doctors_TARDIS I'm not insinuating that its trash. It just feels brittle in spots, notably the front barrel. I'm also comparing it to my kit built wand that has an aluminum handle and barrel, and a very thick resin gun box. I'm glad Hasbro is doing what they are doing, no hate from this builder but I wouldn't trade my pack for 2 of these ones.
I cant believe i missed this when it was backable.....i hope i can still get one someday. Absolutely a dream for a kid from a generation before such amazing reproductions....my proton pack was cardboard because they didnt even sell one when i was growing up.....i mean other than the little childs toy that was not a serious replica. Its so nice to see Hasbro letting its engineers do passion projects like this...
That compartment could be used for something like a mini smoke machine so you could simulate coolant release.
That's a fricken great idea.
@@sgtpepper1138 I wanted to also suggested to anyone with a rubie's ghost trap might want to add an led upgrade to it. something around 2000 or 3000 lumen would be cool.
@@Zoltar0 a 2-3k lumen LED? Dang, my 4k projector is like 3k lumens.
Just got mine today. They nailed it. Fantastic job. Just wish my Matty first gen wand would power it on.
Well, that just tipped me over the line. Backed the pack and pre-ordered the wand.
It was fun to watch you, Adam. You were like a kid in a candy store with a pocket full of money. LOL
They really need to start showing off how this pack could be easily converted to an 84' version. All they have so far are the 84' clean decals - but what is the point of those if you can't make the pack look like it did before Egon's mods? I know a designer from Hasbro on a forum said those hideous copper wire parts are designed to come off, but how about showing that in action? Is it as easy as pulling them off, or is it more involved?
This pack also just demands a real 84' wand that sends the sounds to the pack. Now that the hose is backed, they need use forward thinking and engineer it to have this feature in a compatible wand. I honestly think it was a dumb idea to make this one specific pack in the first place. The "Classic Bundle" should feature a brand new white ribbon cable that you can replace the browned dusty one. It should have simply been a Proton Pack with all kinds of little parts that you can put on it to make it whatever era pack you wanted. They seem dead set on it being an Afterlife pack, yet why do the decals and have 84' pack sounds and lights?
Looks like copper wiring around the Clipper valve is easily removable on the video (they seem to be rubbery and held in by pegs). Seeing how the wires easily come off makes it seem the conversion would be straight forward. The screws inside the cyclotron to the red lenses is another easy access, and probably just a matter of swapping out the lens/LEDs.
Can't wait to get this, but really wish Adam had asked about them making a Ghost Trap as well, since we're really needing something better than the cheap Rubies version.
Until my pack shows up I will probably watch this video 1k times before my package is dropped on my door step.
Wow this looks incredible. Good thing I back on day one. Thank Tested for the early access of what I can expect.
