Unboxing Hasbro's Ghostbusters Plasma Series Spengler's Proton Pack

[@Tootuff]

Man, I really wish the cyclotron colors would change depending on which mode you have the neutrino wand on,

[@sckmagic7]

Yes, please do a video attaching the Alice frame. Also any mod recommendations would be awesome! Thanks again for all you do for the Ghostbusters community fans. You Rock Jason!

[@TrippingHawk]

the frame is super easy to attach, they included all the hardware, just gotta bolt it on.

[@giano427]

I think everyone who's opened one of those boxes can't keep a goofy grin off their face. My two nitpicks: 1. Where's the sticker that went behind the pack? 2. How come one of the side hoses is black when it should have been blue. Lastly, my recommendation for a video: Compare the old prototype photos to the final product, what changed? what stayed the same or improved?

[@NotThatGuy_YepThatGuy]

I liked the cyclotron lights on the prototype a bit better and feel like they were more screen accurate

[@JustinMacri007]

Does wand come with pac?

[@jamesoblivion]

They definitely fixed the ladder frame on the booster, to give it that 'cobbled together from pencils' look.

[@Jonathan_Chong]

The ladder improved thanks to Adam Savage telling them about the ladder and he gave them a sample of correct ladder for them to mold off of and it got fixed on the final product

[@ebwarg]

@@JustinMacri007 No. 😢

[@groorg24]

For anyone watching who has one and hasn’t assembled the stand, the best method is to line up the clips and give them a hard quick slap rather than try to use constant increasing pressure.

[@ChuckM0503]

Would love to see Hasbro do a Real Ghostbusters pack. Even in the fan built community you don't see many of those around and given how well they did with the Afterlife pack I have no doubt they could do the same for RGB.

[@j-pastel-yellow]

i would absolutely love that. there’s so little love for the rgb pack out there, so an official, screen accurate version would be amazing. even if it only did half as much as the afterlife pack, i’d still pay whatever hasbro would charge

[@Agent_1701-D]

Noting how much love RGB has out there, they might do it. Who knows?

[@markturner4951]

I would spend as much for a RGB pack as they were asking for the ES pack.

[@mattblack169]

I was blown away by Spengler's journal. I read through it last night. It's my favorite stretch goal bonus with the exception of the hose. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it!

[@Rebornhunter3213]

Mine too, and it was such a good read. I audibly laughed at the "Tully and Tully" entry...and almost cried at the last page.

[@valdivia8383]

It was such a great read I was not disappointed and it confirmed what almost everyone knows already that Peter and Dana got married

[@valdivia8383]

@@Rebornhunter3213 yeah last page was a heartbreaking

[@sunderjirahim]

Mine arrived in Ottawa, Ontario on Saturday morning! I was 7 years old again.

[@IGendel369]

I would love a tutorial of the ALICE frame installation. I have seen people have screws left over which I don't think is right. Mine comes next week

[@HopeOfTheFuture2029]

I am also for a video of the alice frame installation.

[@45caminiti]

I used the Rothco LC1 from from Amazon and didn't have any screws left over.

[@nerdloftgaming]

Yeah, the LC1 frame from Amazon leaves no screws left. Very straightforward installation, too simple to screw up.

[@scottdonovan7047]

When you put the batteries in turn the pack on pull out the rainbow ribbon cable by the cyclotron and it will make two different sound effects

[@enjnman]

Has anyone received their green goo ectoplasm attachment? Is that arriving separately?

[@MjStrwy]

Nothing here. I was wondering what happened to it!

[@bonorbitz]

Got my slime attachment, but still waiting for the pack.

[@bonorbitz]

…yes the slime is shipped separately.

[@enjnman]

@@bonorbitz thanks ok good to know, I got the pack, but no slime attachment yet

[@davidh4548]

Congrats!!! This looks super exciting!! Waiting over a year sure builds up a lot of anticipation so I'm glad that the unboxing experience didn't disappoint!

[@tord6725]

Literally got mine on the 11th and I love it. Just waiting on my lc-1 frame and correct yellow cable sleeve to arrive to mod the pack and then I’ve only gotta wait until the 18th so 3 days from now for my wand to ship. Then I will have the full setup

[@SpaceWizardCosplay]

Thank you, Jason, for covering your unboxing. And for also playing it "cool" and not "nerding out" on camera.

[@jamesoblivion]

I've been so anxious for this video to drop! Can't wait to see future HasLab pack videos on function and mods. My pack is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. I can't wait!

[@pwnd1138]

8:23 The pack stickers are paper, not vinyl, which is disappointing but not surprising. I ordered a set of labels from Mack's Factory for my pack.

[@jamesoblivion]

Really happy to hear how sturdy the stand is, even though I plan to mount mine to an ALICE frame. The Spengler wand is great, but the stand that came with it is pretty flimsy.

[@robd593]

Yes, I'd really like you to do an alice frame tutorial for this pack. Looks incredible, can't wait to recieve mine.

[@robd593]

When you do the Alice frame tutorial, could you use the Haslab shoulder straps and kidney belt? I’m curious to see how well they attach to the frame.

[@jamesszewcik1998]

I'm with you Jason I watched so many videos of unboxings I didn't need the instructions, I am also not going to use the marshmallow attachments im going to hang them on my wall, and for the stickers I'm going to frame them and put then on my wall, thanks for your video great job

[@themikereda]

Great video. Can't wait to get mine tomorrow! FWIW, it might be a good idea to NOT secure the ion arm with glue or screws, because if it snags on something at a con or a party, it'll just pop off and not break anything. That's just my pair of pennies! Thanks for posting!

[@GhostbustersNews]

True. I guess it can always be remade/fabricated, just worried of losing it at an event.

[@mcdixon]

Would love to hear your thoughts about the v-hook that the pack comes with. I've read lots of people complaining it's not very good and it's probably worth modding.

[@MelissaMarvelous]

I have so much trouble hooking the nutrona wand to the pack, with the v hook. One time I thought I had it hooked in and it fell off. Another time my son tapped it accidentally, and the wand fell right off, while the pack with alice frame stayed firmly in place on the stand

[@sadistich0rr0r99]

I’d like to see the Alice frame attached but more how it fits on the stand with it.

[@TightPantsJack]

The orange tip may also come in handy at conventions which may require such a precaution on any weapon or wand a cosplayer may sport.

[@ecwfanatic22]

@@McFrozenNuggets It's mainly American conventions. I mean, have you seen American cops? You could be holding a banana, and they'd probably shoot you for it.

[@rizz0995]

@@McFrozenNuggets Exactly!

[@TightPantsJack]

A few years back, a man tried to sneak guns into a comic convention in Phoenix with the intention of killing Jason David Frank. The convention's screening of cosplay weapons was practically voluntary prior to then, so it was nothing short of a miracle the man was stopped by police (thanks to an online tip). The next day, the convention over-corrected by flat-out banning ANY cosplay weapon, including swords, light sabers, magic wands and even sonic screwdrivers (just to name a few). Needless to say, it was a disaster for all of the attendees and the convention itself. Rules have been dialed back since, but there are still a lot of conventions out there that enforce strict rules when it comes to anything that could be perceived as a cosplay weapon-- and neutrona wands haven't exactly been exempt from such practices. If I ever plan to wear my Hasbro pack to a con, I'll keep the orange hat around just in case.

[@sonicsju]

This is great, glad you got the pack as mine arrived yesterday (Saturday 1/14/23.) one recommended on the upcoming review is check on the V-hook. I’ve heard of some replacing it, let us know if it’s doable & what you recommended for an alternative as you jump in to mod the pack. Thanks!

[@ssikora3154]

That proton pack looks phenomenal! Jason! And I love how it has all the great details and it comes with marshmallows goo to put effects on the proton pack and I love how it came with the roasted mini pufts as well and everything on that proton pack looks amazing!

[@Tootuff]

My brother and I ordered one of these about a year and a half ago and we are planning to put an Alice frame on it. I love your videos a tutorial for putting on an Alice frame would be so much help.

[@UnoGroove]

Mine arrived last week. As someone who's never been able to afford a replica pack, this is a genuine dream come true.

[@berniedavis6676]

I'm still waiting for my Hasbro pack to arrive at my house. tho I would like to see a weight comparison between this pack and one of your other pack replicas.

[@DennyCrane_DCCollectibles]

We picked up ours yesterday and it's got some chunk to it and massive. Box weighs a good 35 pounds if an ounce.

[@Drchweber]

Jason, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is clear. Milk this sucker for all its worth. I want to see it all: deep dive into the features, deep dive into the spengler journal, mods, ALICE frame addition walkthrough, where-the-hell to attach the stupid marshmallow drips… I know everybody and their terror-dog is getting in on the video action with this beast but you my friend are the one stop shop for this stuff. Let’s go!

[@ChuckM0503]

One thing I haven't seen in videos I've seen is whether or not the pack will stand on it's own when attached to the Alice frame. I assume it does, but haven't seen anyone do it so far.

[@nerdloftgaming]

No, it will NOT stand on its own with the ALICE frame attached. Because the Spirit Pack was small, it was able to lean on the frame. This is not the case for a fullscale pack.

[@thedoctor755]

There are currently 205,386,970 Haslab pack unboxing videos out there, but yours was the only one I'll watch now until I get my pack in the next couple days (hopefully). Keep up the good work, sir :)

[@andrewburgoon4474]

Can't wait for mine, wish it had interchangeable parts, but can understand why they didn't go that route

[@RedX_100]

As soon as mine got here this morning, I put on my flight suit and immediately installed the Alice frame I got for Christmas before putting the batteries in. Well worth the wait.

[@michaelknight8789]

Nice vid! I literally just got mine about an hour ago!! Imagine, there's a fleet of Fed Ex trucks running around right now with proton packs in their trucks! Wild! again, nice unboxing... those who passed are gonna be sorry. This is a beaut!

[@st8price]

Please do a video attaching to the frame.

[@michaelcultra4496]

Finally the only unboxing that matters!

[@Cubsfan-hp1gw]

The price point is the most stunning thing to me. They could have easily charged 6-700 for it. I think I’ll be removing the yellow cable cover completely

[@fandomvault4901]

Looks pretty slick. Hasbro needs to release a budget pack so the average consumer can own one

[@ghostbusterspluscollector9624]

Getting mine tomorrow! Can’t wait to do complete Modification on it to make it more movie accurate and real.

[@Kryptonian91]

I believe I may have found another Easter egg with the proton pack in the 1984 mode I heard slimer do his charge scream when I turned on my proton pack

[@sckmagic7]

I work 3rd shift and was about to go to bed when I checked my notification for the delivery of my proton packs and they were being delivered today. So no sleep but it was worth it! I love this thing. Now got to go get some sleep.

[@DavidMiller212]

Got my pack a few days ago. It's just amazing, will do the mods Adam Savage did on his pack.

[@mr.j376]

I haven't been this excited since Christmas 1989! One question though. How difficult would it be to attach a LC2 frame?

[@SpaceWizardCosplay]

If you used longer screws, then an LC-2 frame might work. "The Proton Pack is Not A Toy" covered that today.

[@patimusprime6636]

Got mine in Friday and I love it. I’ve always wanted my own portable nuclear accelerator lol. My only problem is my hose is messed up and doesn’t connect securely to the pack. So my neutrino wand will randomly stop working long before the timers up. I’ve contacted Hasbro with a video and hopefully they can help me out. And I’d love a video on what type of Alice frame and how to attach it please!

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

With this Haslab Proton Pack, the line between toy and adult collectible prop replica have blurred tremendously. Good job by Haslab!

Hard to believe, i have my pack..and finally, am going to open it here it is October 2nd,,,,,needed a nice place to put it before opening, i do have a pack ive had for years, cast from the Florida Ghostbusters show,,,(great to have prop maker friends,,) but never got the lights in ,,, so. this'll be fantastic,, i won't put the marshmallow on the pack.,,.but maybe hanging on stuff behind ,, Gotta have my little marshmallow buddies behind

I got mine, and I love it! Still, I wish I could keep doing the fun or opening the box for the first time over, and over again. I am keeping it on Afterlife effects. I can't believe all the extras it came with. Also wish I had the room to keep the box displayed. I displayed it with my Spirit Halloween ghost trap, PKE meter, and ecto goggles.

[@robertsheppard1907]

still waiting for mine to ship, but I have notice in the footage that I've seen that the pack lights don't change color to match the firing mode of the wand

[@923jim]

One question, there is another switch under the red rectangular sticker at the top of the pack. No one I have seen has shown what that switch does if anything. Can you show us that one?

[@MjStrwy]

Iirc, propmaster Ben Eadie had it as the power switch before they realized it should be up higher to match the 84 film. It doesn't do anything now but Hasbro replicated it from the AL pack anyway for accuracy's sake. I'm sure modders will find a cool use for it!

[@Riza3190]

It may be only me but I feel the pack isn't as good as they made it look. Also they didn't make the stickers metallic like they said they were going to be and the Spengler journal is shorter than they said it would be. It's nice don't get me wrong but feel they cut a lot of corners.

Has anyone else have an issue with the proton back not turning on or shutting off randomly? With mine I’ve noticed there are 4 gold connectors on the rim on the cyclotron cover and when the bumper is fully tightened the cover is still slightly loose and not completely flushed with the pack, causing the power to lose connectivity. It’s easy fixed with a washer but still feel like that shouldn’t be an issue with a $400 product unless they just forgot to put a washer on mine. Just trying to see if anyone has had the same issue?
