I'm not even a big Ghostbusters fan, and I'm so thrilled to see prop replicas of this caliber available to the public. If only every fandom could be so lucky. Kudos to Hasbro!

[@I_Am_Become_Zero]

WHY do people lift that ribbon before installing batteries??? It is literally meant to be under the batteries to aid in removing the batteries. By pulling the ribbon, it removes all the batteries for you, without you having to dig them out

[@CapitalNick]

You would think Adam would know what that was for after working with stuff like this for years.

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

To say that Norm doesn't know how to put batteries in 🤣

[@samik83]

I actually got a Ghostbusters trap as a Christmas present when I was around that age. Remember it came with a small glow in the dark Slimer. The door were operated with some kind air pump pedal.

[@wilgarcia1]

I think the Morse Code was "Hello World Anybody there".

[@WiReDApe]

That's close to what I translated.

[@opts9]

@@WiReDApe same here

[@MattyJ]

Makes complete sense because the trap is releasing what’s inside of it and saying hello to the world. Awesome little mode they put in there.

Sir, what you had here was what we refer to as a focused non-terminal repeating phantasm or a full roaming vapor. A real nasty one too!

[@ghostchaser1631]

Now * AHEEMRHMM! * let's talk seriously. Now, for the entrapment we're going to have to ask you for four big ones, four thousand dollars for that but we are having a special this week on proton charging and storage of the beast, and that's only going to come to one thousand dollars, fortunately.

[@XelaSnikliw-fg8wu]

$5000? I had no idea it would be so much! I won't pay it! Oh that's ok, we can just put it right back in there. We most certainly can, Dr. Venkman? No No No! Anything! Thank you, I hope that we can help you again.

[@johno1544]

So many great lines in that movie

[@captainhelium]

I was a full fledged adult when ghostbusters came out and watching your GBsters unveiling over and over again and your trips to the sets and the prop shops has been a serious thrill for that inner child who was deep inside that 26 year old pseudo adult in the theatre.... Many thanks !

[@Bathroomblog]

The code is not completely captured in your video. I roughly translated “…world…anybody…” Can you do a video of the entire message?

[@Mortalware]

I think it's 'Hello World! Anybody.."

[@marvindebot3264]

Hello world, anybody out there?

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Pretty sure it's a reference to the Real Ghostbusters episode where Egon ends up in the containment unit.

[@Zeaiclies]

It says "Hello World, anyone out there?" The first text printed by computer programming language. It is also the first Message sent in Morse code. Neat

[@jesperwall839]

@@ZeaicliesIt’s far from the first text printed by a computer program. But it was made famous by a C tutorial in the early 70’s. But only the part “hello, world!”.

[@gold333]

[@brandonbeard8488]

This brings back memories of the original toys. Like the proton pack with the foam for the stream, and the trap that you stepped on a pump and it opened for a moment then closed. This is the adult version and I love it

[@cleyfaye]

It's nice that the controls are actually part of the design, making everything feels more real.

People often blame Hasbro for bad products but ignore when they can work properly they produce amazing works of art

[@dstock9855]

hasbro has a bad reputation for many reasons, but haslabs is on another level.

[@Dashierez]

Hasbro has a bad rep for good reason. Worst was when they lied about plastic shortages to increase their prices to the obscenity we have today. And since it has continued with the obscenely overpriced while skimping on both engineering and paint...this just proves that they can make something quality, but even then they have to scam by pretending this is 'crowdfunded' (it's a limited preorder...they already sunk 99% of the costs before ever putting the preorder live) and use it to show that think they can charge 3p prices for a 1p product so they overcharge even more. But FOMO has stupid people overpaying for everything nowadays that only makes this shit worse across the board.

[@GoronCityOfficialBoneyard]

@@Dashierez While true, a lot of that comes out of investors and the corporate culture going on. Was at the Providence office a while back and during one of the meetings there were many demands for cheaper quality goods and supplemental materials. I can't blame the company for wanting to remain profitable, but you definitely can blame them for the shady practices.

I know! They reference the button on the bottom of the PKE Meter. So it’s there just not covered here. Honestly, the video is a bit choppy with editing. Perhaps cut by someone new?

[@MrBrandon]

I find the editing of this video to be weirdly suspect.

[@GhostbustersFan77]

The prototype supposedly had an EMF meter feature. In theory if the finished PKE still has that function you can use it during a Ghost Hunt.

[@TheBeeFactory]

I love when stuff like this uses real, common hardware. Lore-wise it makes sense that someone built this from McMaster Carr and DigiKey parts in a small shop. Its not like a super custom, slick, finished peice.

[@SpaceWizardCosplay]

You're absolutely correct. When the original props were made in 1983 from spare parts, they just stuck everything together so it looks like it was made in the firehouse.

[@Raganui]

This is great! I was smiling like a loon. And seeing Adam so excited makes me even more excited.

Glad these are here and soon to be in my collection. When I was a kid I made the ghost trap out of old shoe boxes. Glad I have the close to real thing now! The trap was always the least made prop and glad it got some good attention now.

[@sbull217]

I was already excited to get my two in the box but after watching this I’m beyond pumped to get it!

[@DaveFrehley]

When I was a kid, the best we had was the hollow blue plastic Real Ghostbusters pack with the trap that had the pedal that worked on air pressure. Not knocking that set at all.. I have fond memories of that toy set... so much so that when my nephew got big into Ghostbusters I tracked down that set on Ebay and got it for his bday one year and he absolutely loved it. That being said, my inner child is floating on a cloud with the dreams of being a Ghostbuster are coming true with these amazing Haslab props!! I backed the proton pack, I have both variants of the neutrona wand and I backed the Two in the Box set... and I couldn't be more ecstatic about how amazing these are! I also get to share my love of Ghostbusters with my daughter who also absolutely loves all of these! It's a good time to be a GB fan, for sure!!

[@johnrhines6626]

[@sachagreco1077]

Now, you need a containment unit for the ghost trap, it would be cool a video 😊

[@sperez5609]

It looks like they actually did showcase the emf feature @19:30 while you see the trap open. Notice how the pke meter is on its display stand and is moving the arms without either of them handling it. Then one of them taps the trap pedal and it closes while the arms of the pke meter go down as well. Only they don't specifically mention it as it's happening. Cool beans.

[@davidjames1389]

Wow these turned out fantastic. And that chipped paint weathering looks FAR better here than it did on the proton pack, which looked like it was applied with a silver sharpie.

[@daidiebricks4982]

2:10 “it says two in the box” I was a little worried it was gonna say something like “pizza inside” I’m glad he clarified that

[@jamiearsenault5221]

Love this! I CANNOT wait to get mine. Already know imma upgrade those internal trap LEDs to be WAY brighter and possibly a power upgrade to handle it. Thank you for doing this unboxing!

[@NGinuity]

12:21 I couldn't get the entire message because Adam started talking over it and then Norm turned it down so it became uncopyable but it was roughly "Lo World. Is Anybody Up " which was probably meant to be "Hello World. Is anybody up there?" There was no H-E-L at the beginning.

[@jasonraines7629]

"The yelling denotes excitement." HAHAHAHA

@@SpaceWizardCosplay my issue with the mattel one and the fear was that ribbon cable at the front of the pedal wasn't flexible. if you're wearing the trap on your belt where would the pedal go? wrap that ribbon cable over the handle like in the movie. couldn't do it with mattel cuz it was a rigid plastic cable (and no v-hook underneath unless you modded it)

At 18:00 they mention other performers off-camera performing with the actors on-camera. In the Disney production Bed Knobs and Broomsticks there's the Under the Sea Dance performance. You see 2 performers, there's actually 4! The other 2 are off-camera on the other side of the fly system making the 2 you see, counterbalanced. That's how they got the "floating" effect.
