Proton pack wise, I’d call that a big Yes. But Pke meter or trap wise, perhaps. We’ll just have to see later this year because the 4th film is set to release in December so they could do one or the other or both announced to coincide with the upcoming release of Ghostbusters “Firehouse”.
This is one of the best value project that ever came out of Haslab. Compared to other offerings out there, this is a good enough imitation for a great price. I'm not a big Ghostbusters fan but this is a must-have for any out there.
I'm so glad that you're enjoying yours, Jay. Everything that you said in your video. I couldn't absolutely agree with you more, my friend. I myself am also enjoying mine, and it displays beautifully right next to my original Kenner Proton Pack from my childhood. I was sad that I had to miss out on the G.I. Joe Skystriker, because I decided to order a total of three Protonpacks instead to eventually mod into the hero packs seen in Ghostbusters 1 & 2 and to also keep one the original rusted afterlife version. Now that I finally got all three in hand and with three original, none orange tip neutrino wands to go with them. Got to say this was the greatest decision and purchase that I have ever made in my entire life. Who needs a Skystriker when you finally have a real childhood dream, come true for both me and you, my friend, in owning our very own Screen Accurate Proton Pack Replica's. Here is hopeing we get haslab afterlife versions of the P.K.E. Meter, Ghost Trap, and Ecto-Googles up next. Not to mention, I am still holding out hope that we will eventually get more Kenner Classics The Real Ghostbusters when the new film releases next year. What a great time to be alive and be a Ghostbuster fan. Busting sure makes me and all of us fans feel so good. Anyways, just some of my personal thoughts on the subject. Anyways, keep on making great videos. My friend and I will definitely keep watching. Until the next time, keep on busting my friends.
Aaggh your enthusiasm and joy in this video is FANTASTIC! Made me feel the same magic of toy-love from childhood all those years ago 😊 Love it, keep up the brilliant work, all the best 😄👍
I am So Happy for you! Honestly, seeing a fellow collector smile so widely over a beloved and long-wished for dream toy (Haslab, Creations, or just a find in ye olde toy shoppe) gives me such happiness and joy! Enjoy!! 🎉🎉🎉❤
Now the Hasbro Ghostbuster team does realize we need a Ghost Trap to capture the ghost right? Hope we see a Trap with the same quality as the Proton Pack eventually
Hasbro really did us Ghostbusters fans good with this pack. I love it. Might do a couple small mods but there really isn’t anything that is needed. It is great right out of the box. I bought three thinking my girls may be interested in them at some point. They don’t seem to be. So maybe I’ll do the whole ‘84 thing on one of those.
This was one of the best things I’ve ever bought. Agree that opening it was amazing. My only small grip is I wish they had used stronger cardboard for the designed box. My plan was to sit the pack on top of it but that is not going to work. Actually thought about making a simple frame to sit in the box so I can use it.
One more amazing, huge toy to fit into our already overcrowded collection rooms. I seriously don't know where folks are putting all this stuff! Sail Barge, Skystriker, Galactus, Razor Crest, Proton Pack!? How much will end up in garages, attics and storage lockers? I feel like the bubble is gonna pop and eBay will be flooded with thousands of these toys in a few years. Oh well, it's still an amazing time to collect.
Wow! This is AMAZING! So sad I missed it but so happy it was made and released and in people's hands. Seriously, we must be in the golden age of 80s toy collecting. With inflation out of control and the price of everything going up, I don't know how much longer this ride will last, but I will enjoy it while I can. Again, congrats!
Truly an amazing time to be a Ghostbusters fan. I had the Kenner toys growing up but never did get the proton pack, so it was a no-brainer that I snag the Haslab one while I had the chance. Absolutely love it! While not perfect, it gives us so much for the money. My modded Spirit Pack will go to my little one, but the Haslab looks beautiful along side the other Spirit stuff. It's going to be fun adding my personal little touches to the pack, and can't wait to see what plug and play kits will be available down the line. Happy Ghosthunting!
Haslab really have knocked this out of the park and I personally cannot wait to get my proton pack and review it aswell like yourself I’ve been waiting a long time to get a full size proton pack and it’s finnaly here 😎👍🏻🚫👻
I’m happy for you that your lifelong dream came true. I understand the obsession. For me, it was always a TOS Phaser and Communicator which the Wand Company finally delivered for me, a few years ago.
Been waiting patiently for this one, this video must’ve been hard to make as you couldn’t stop staring at/playing w/ that beauty. I don’t blame you. 🥳 Congrats! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for sharing in such detail. They really outdid themselves with this one. Too expensive for me to justify but still I think it was a good value. I’m glad I was able to enjoy this vicariously through this video.
When I was a kid I wanted a Kenner pack, never got one. Later on in life I got a Spirit Pack, what a time that was, and I planned ot mode it, then the Spirit Pack came, and a childhood dream has bee realized.
That's a great intro and setup/backstory with the mention of a BTTF hoverboard and SW lightsabers. Glad you got this amazing scaled replica! Even got dressed in your GB uniform gear for it!
Your enthusiasm for this matches my own, and I also thought it funny in one of your last shots to see the Kenobi saber and Hoverboard included in the shot--2 props I also own and adore! The ability to mod this pack is great, but out of the box it already is pretty near perfect and I would not have minded keeping it as is. Luckily I have funds to at least add an Alice frame for now and may tweak it over time. Just have to get a jumpsuit to go with it!
With the 4th movie starring production in March and set to release in December this year (though I feel it’ll be delayed) it’s possible we can see either this year or 2024 we see the PKE meter or ghost trap announced as haslab projects. I already see some of the potential unlock stages like the pke stand could be a smaller proton pack stand and as for the trap It wouldn’t need a stand but instead of a stand they could make an RTV base for it to connect to.
I just wish the matty wand was adaptable. But there are 3D printed adapters being made for the wand to change the look to the original. My wife said I looked like a kid opening and putting on. The video says it all. Add in my matty goggles and poke and I was all over the house! Haslab, do those next and a trap!
As amazing as that would be I don’t think a whole lot of people would buy it simple because when it comes down to it, it’s 3 tanks on an Alice frame with a nozzle. And since something like that would have to be a haslab I don’t see the unlockable stages to be worth it either. In no specific order One of them would be the stand for definite and another would be a recolour of the slime and marshmallow but as the pink slime with some Polaroids of Zigo. I can see a container of slime or the toaster being a goal. And for the 4th goal I can really only think of a few GB 2 sticker sheets akin to the ones we got with the proton pack with another one of the guys’ journals like maybe Ray’s so we can see his side of things across the 3 films and it makes sense since he wore a slime blower. Some notes could be about between the films and his point of view on certain parts. How Ray saw the whole Egon taking off to fight Gozer alone and explain why he didn’t believe him.
Got my proton pack, but I'm having issues with it turning on. 😞 got a brand new set of D batteries and can't figure out why it's not switching on for the life of me
I backed the Haslab Cookie Monster, but this is an excellent consolation, lol. I got mine in this week and will be opening it today. So glad that I backed this and that we got it for $350 considering how much costs have spiked up since then. This might be the coolest thing in my collection now.
Looks great but i wish it was less specific to a single pack and more modular. It will be weird to show up at a con and literally a dozen people are wearing Egons pack.
So now in hand, have you had Colleen sign off on your will that you will be buried in your Proton Pack? Might need to get that in writing 🤣 This is top tier Haslab could offer
That is great it is shipping already. Does anyone else find it odd that Black Series Rancor still shows as "In Production" on the Haslab website even though it failed?. Skystryker in Spring. HISS and Deathsaurus in Fall
The only downside with the packing is you can't redo the excitement of opening it for the first time. I attached an Alice frame. Very little modeling needed.
I love my hasbro pack! Except that the wand keeps disconnecting and shutting the pack off. I think that the gas mask hose is putting too much stress on the connection. But besides that it’s great!
I'm sure all the people that build protran packs are hating on this because the pact came out for a price range of three hundred and something dollars or more while the ones they make are about 3,000 or more
I haven't opened mine yet or ordered an ALICE frame. But does the pack fit on the stand with the ALICE frame attached? Also, can you attach the stand to the wall in some way?
It should still fit fine with the alice frame, I checked if it could attach to the wall, but the way the pack sits on it, it wont quite work. You could get wall hooks that would work I think.
In fact, I have that but it's not a proton pack, it's a vacuum cleaner that is used like a backpack but also works for ghost hunting. you know, Luigi's mansion 😅
Jay, it doesn't say Stranger Things anywhere on it, that tv show? brought Ghostbusters back way more than either of the later sequels did, as did the movie Be Kind Rewind
Why would Hasbro feel compelled to slap Stranger Things on this? Ghostbusters is a huge pop culture icon, it doesn't need to rely on the success of other TV series.
I could care less about the mini-puft figures. I'm not a big fan of cutsie shit. That being said, I would love to have a movie accurate proton pack. I've also wanted one since I was a child, but who has $400 to invest in a Haslab project? No one I know.
Sorry buddy but I will never have the same dream come true like you because I live on social security disability income and can't afford to buy one so thanks for rubbing it my face
Dude you have to learn to just be quiet for a bit we want to hear the sounds that pack makes but we can’t because you don’t zip it for just a few seconds….
The fact that there are threaded metal inserts for the frame to attach shows attention to detail and durability of a premium product.
Awesome! This level of detail and reasonable pricing is what every replica should strive to achieve. 👏👏👏
Completely agree!
Congratulations Jay and to all that got them. We won’t ever see anything this amazing again at that price.
I agree
Proton pack wise, I’d call that a big Yes.
But Pke meter or trap wise, perhaps. We’ll just have to see later this year because the 4th film is set to release in December so they could do one or the other or both announced to coincide with the upcoming release of Ghostbusters “Firehouse”.
It's great, just wish I would have known ot this over a year ago when purchasing period was open.. they should do so again.
This is one of the best value project that ever came out of Haslab. Compared to other offerings out there, this is a good enough imitation for a great price. I'm not a big Ghostbusters fan but this is a must-have for any out there.

This makes me happy to see how excited you are for it!
Right?!?! 😄
I feel you 110% Jay. I couldn't love mine more - even with the occasional connection glitch. Definitely a bucket list item checked off with this one!
Totally agree!
I absolutely love this thing. You weren’t lying when you said a dream come true! It’s a fun piece to mod too!
I don’t know how into mods I’ll get, but I love watching others!
I am So Happy for you! Honestly, seeing a fellow collector smile so widely over a beloved and long-wished for dream toy (Haslab, Creations, or just a find in ye olde toy shoppe) gives me such happiness and joy! Enjoy!! 🎉🎉🎉❤

Agreed, need a trap!
Guess what
I had that Kenner Proton Pack as a kid too. Sadly mine is gone but have similar memories wearing it around lots.
I'm sorry yours didnt make it with you to today, My beloved superman cape got stolen when I was 5, would love to have that back somehow
Hasbro really did us Ghostbusters fans good with this pack. I love it. Might do a couple small mods but there really isn’t anything that is needed. It is great right out of the box.
I bought three thinking my girls may be interested in them at some point. They don’t seem to be. So maybe I’ll do the whole ‘84 thing on one of those.

@@GeekDadLife Exactly! Just like life itself. Thanks for the consistently great content. I've enjoyed falling into the toy abyss with you :)

Haslab really have knocked this out of the park and I personally cannot wait to get my proton pack and review it aswell like yourself I’ve been waiting a long time to get a full size proton pack and it’s finnaly here 😎👍🏻🚫👻
Great video. Well done. I love that you have video of you as a kid with your OG pack. 😊
Thank you! 😀
I’m happy for you that your lifelong dream came true. I understand the obsession. For me, it was always a TOS Phaser and Communicator which the Wand Company finally delivered for me, a few years ago.
After waiting 9 months my packs finally turned up ,and i get to unbox it in 3 days 😊
Yay!!
I love that we all felt the same way.
This and the self transforming Optimus Prime are two of the greatest collectibles for us 80's kids to come out in a long, long time.
Been waiting patiently for this one, this video must’ve been hard to make as you couldn’t stop staring at/playing w/ that beauty.
I don’t blame you.
🥳 Congrats!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Meeee tooo lol
Thanks for sharing in such detail. They really outdid themselves with this one. Too expensive for me to justify but still I think it was a good value. I’m glad I was able to enjoy this vicariously through this video.
Best. Thumbnail. Ever.
It's your idea! lol

Thanks Ken!
The lights on yours are working unlike the lights on Michael's proton pack.

Jay, I gotta agree with you about the “anything from back to the future”
Great review Jay glad you love it sir!
Thanks Robert!
Ok. Now how much longer till we get a replica Ghostbusters 2 Slime Blower!
Whew, I don't think I'd have room lolol
Love the proton pack!!
Keep up the great work

Have any more Haslab projects been announced 🤔🤔
@@stevemahoney5209just the ones I predicted in my comment😂. Not only did I predict the pke and trap but even the delay of the movie.
Are they going to be selling anymoreor is that it? In sure since it was a big hit they would put more on the market
Bravo Jay!
Thanks Vactor!
pretty cool! congrats to all the backers!
I have 2 and I absolutely love them.
👀 I hope you do a video on the book! I'd love to hear more about what went on between GB2 and Afterlife!
I plan to!

congrats my friend! Its a masterpiece, esp for that price
Thank you good sir!
This looks amazing!! I was able to get the neutrona wand but missed out on the crowdfund because my Xmas bonus came the day after the campaign ended
Oh no! I'm so sorry, hopefully you can find one close to the original price
I don't collect any gb stuff but this thing is pretty frickin sweet.
Wow, looks so cool…. I’m jealous now!! Kicking myself for not getting one ugh 😣
Maybe they’ll do other GB’s packs in the future?
Slime blower !!!! With a statue of liberty stand please ❤
That would be awesome!

Amazing review 👏 👍👍👍
There’s one Haslab I don’t regret backing. 🤣
Haslab at its best ...great review Jay
Agreed, and thanks Neil!
Hasbro screws up A LOT. This was not one of their screw ups. So happy with my purchase.
Got my proton pack, but I'm having issues with it turning on. 😞 got a brand new set of D batteries and can't figure out why it's not switching on for the life of me
What a journey! Love this thing
Me too!
i wasn't going to get the frog figure or this, but i watched your frog video and now i get why you were so hesitant to miss this item in the mail
The stress was real lol
🎵Bustin makes me feel good! 🎵 😜👻💦 Amazing video and breakdown! Love the bebe Jay footage, nice touch 👌💚
Thanks Silva 💚 Thankful I had some VHS footage that was applicable lol
I backed the Haslab Cookie Monster, but this is an excellent consolation, lol. I got mine in this week and will be opening it today. So glad that I backed this and that we got it for $350 considering how much costs have spiked up since then. This might be the coolest thing in my collection now.
As a fellow Cookie Monster backer, I feel you lol
@@GeekDadLife Cookie Monster 😢 RIP. I backed it too. ❤
Hi, awesome video. Where did you get your ghost buster suit? Was it custom made ? I can’t find a good detail one like yours.
Looks great but i wish it was less specific to a single pack and more modular. It will be weird to show up at a con and literally a dozen people are wearing Egons pack.
So now in hand, have you had Colleen sign off on your will that you will be buried in your Proton Pack? Might need to get that in writing 🤣 This is top tier Haslab could offer
Oh it’s def getting added to the living will lol
That is great it is shipping already. Does anyone else find it odd that Black Series Rancor still shows as "In Production" on the Haslab website even though it failed?. Skystryker in Spring. HISS and Deathsaurus in Fall
Hmm that is weird!
The wait is over!
YES! lol
I'm hoping Hasbro makes something (hopefully a working trap w/a pedal ) for the film's 40th anniversary
grats man that thing looks awesome
Thanks!
Sooo cool 😎 congrats!
The only downside with the packing is you can't redo the excitement of opening it for the first time. I attached an Alice frame. Very little modeling needed.
How does the battery compartment work with the Alice Frame?
mine is on the way
Cool mines going to be awesome after I mod it out it won't be your average proton pack
I had a new wand connection sent from hasbro but my wand still doesn't fire up my pack??
Where the slime effects included as well?
Jay says they were shipped in a separate box at 8:45.
I love my hasbro pack! Except that the wand keeps disconnecting and shutting the pack off. I think that the gas mask hose is putting too much stress on the connection. But besides that it’s great!
I tightened mine up and the disconnecting stopped, for now at least lol
So that must be what was happening to mine. Have to check my connections.
Amazing video!
Thank you my friend!
I need a vid with your kid and the original protonpack We had back in the day and you with the new packs we just got ….just for content sake
I'm sure all the people that build protran packs are hating on this because the pact came out for a price range of three hundred and something dollars or more while the ones they make are about 3,000 or more
So, just hearing about this one now means nobody else can get one?
The only thing about the pack in "84' mode" the four lights fade out not blink out
I haven't opened mine yet or ordered an ALICE frame. But does the pack fit on the stand with the ALICE frame attached?
Also, can you attach the stand to the wall in some way?
It should still fit fine with the alice frame, I checked if it could attach to the wall, but the way the pack sits on it, it wont quite work. You could get wall hooks that would work I think.
@Geek. Dad. Life. cool, thanks. I'm just trying to map out in my mind how I want to display it and all my other GB stuff together.
Never got a chance to get one 🙁
Love mine
In fact, I have that but it's not a proton pack, it's a vacuum cleaner that is used like a backpack but also works for ghost hunting.
you know, Luigi's mansion 😅
I got mine, but haven’t opened it yet. My wand is in storage and I haven’t moved into my new place yet. But, man, does it look incredible.
You’re in for a treat once you do!
Give me a PKE meter right now!!!!!!!
Amen!
Jay, it doesn't say Stranger Things anywhere on it, that tv show? brought Ghostbusters back way more than either of the later sequels did, as did the movie Be Kind Rewind
Why would Hasbro feel compelled to slap Stranger Things on this? Ghostbusters is a huge pop culture icon, it doesn't need to rely on the success of other TV series.
WHO YOU WANNA CALL GHOSTBUSTERS!
I still have to say, make your own as far superior and yes I do on this
I couldn't justify the cost so just have the neutrons wand 😭
Your joy over this beautiful s just bitchin’ man
Thanks 😊
@@GeekDadLife looks like autocorrect got the better of me there, but I’m sure my point still comes across 🤣
Sooo it doesn't shoot red and blue lasers? Crap
Sucks I wasn't able to get it due to money problems
Wait can you still get the pack? Do you have a link? I need one lol
@@CyberSamura1 no but hoping they come out with another probably one for the new movie or ghostbusters 2
cool
Lemme tell you somethin'. Liftin' a 5.42 cubic foot box weighing 35.2 pounds didn't make me feel so good. 🥵
I could care less about the mini-puft figures. I'm not a big fan of cutsie shit.
That being said, I would love to have a movie accurate proton pack. I've also wanted one since I was a child, but who has $400 to invest in a Haslab project? No one I know.
Sorry buddy but I will never have the same dream come true like you because I live on social security disability income and can't afford to buy one so thanks for rubbing it my face
Dude you have to learn to just be quiet for a bit we want to hear the sounds that pack makes but we can’t because you don’t zip it for just a few seconds….
