Hasbro Ghostbusters Plasma Series Spengler’s Proton Pack

OMG, It’s finally here!!!!

I ordered this bad boy way back in 2021 when Hasbro offered it up via the Haslab crowdfunding platform. They needed 7,000 backers to proceed and they received over 19,000 eager Ghostbusters fans with the product scheduled for release in spring 2023.

Well it’s truly hard to believe that even with all the Covid related delays and supply chain issues, the good folks at Hasbro managed to get this out earlier than expected.

The pack connects to the previously released and awesome Hasbro Ghostbusters Plasma Series Spengler’s Neutrona Wand which I had already purchased way back in 2020. They both work together and the pack actually responds to the actions of the wand. This is truly unexpected as the original wand was created as a stand alone item, with no plans at the time to create the entire pack.

Here’s a quick video of the pack in operation.

Of course I’ve made a few little modifications to bring the beast closer to the actual movie prop, but this thing is pretty darn cool right out of the box.

Owning a full size Ghostbusters Proton Pack has been a dream of mine since first seeing the movie way back in 1984. Until Hasbro produced this beauty, the only option was to gather up all the parts, assemble, paint and install all the electronics yourself, or pay someone thousands of dollars to build a pack for you. Although the Hasbro pack is not as authentic as these more expensive options, it’s definitely good enough for me and well exceeded my expectations.

Hasbro teased us Ghostbusters fans by hinting that they may be offering up another item later this year. I’m hoping it’s a ghost trap, or preferably an updated PKE Meter that also doubles as a ghost taser as seen in the Afterlife film.

Until them, “We have the tools, We have the talent…”

Who ya gonna call?

Classic horror

Found this gem last week when I was killing time at the friendly neighborhood Best Buy. This was the movie that introduced me to horror. I had to sneak into the theater to see this film as I was too young. Little did I know that years later I would meet and hangout with one of the actors.

Now I just need to get my buddy Bill Thornbury to sign it.

Just picked up this pair of dice from a galaxy far, far away.

Replicas of Han’s dice that were hanging in the falcon in the original trilogy.

They have since changed them to the dice displaying the Aurebesh text in the new films but I wanted to stay true to the origin, so I was thankful to find these original style dice.

I was planning on hanging them in the truck, like they were in the Falcon, but they feel very happy in the nice little Star Wars bag so I might have to keep them on display in my den.
