Hasbro Two in the Box Trap and PKE Meter Review!

[@Webhead123]

A note for those having trouble with lowering the "wings" from taser mode: Make sure that the "taser" switch on the back of the handle is turned to the down/off position before trying to snap them back in place. Also, lower them one at a time and by holding the black, hinge portion, not by the silver part of the wing. Do it that way and it works like a charm.

Thanks for adding this!

[@dolby409]

Mine automatically returns the taser switch to the off position, then when i snap the wings in place it goes down on its own.

[@Webhead123]

@@dolby409 Interesting. I initially had a problem where the wings wouldn't lock back in place at the joint, then I made sure to flip the switch to the down position and the wings locked and retracted perfectly.

[@ZerocoolsPropsandCollectibles]

My only issues are the pke is way too bulky. And the speakers/sound fx sound awful on both. It's sad when my GB tree ornament sounds louder and clearer than what's in these.

[@SpaceWizardCosplay]

@@ZerocoolsPropsandCollectibles - This version of the PKE meter is based upon the ones from Frozen Empire, hence them being more bulky.

[@kevinsisler9379]

Had the same concern pre battery P.KE. meter. No problem afterwards.

Glad your happy with looking forward to see what upgrades you do to them

[@Sammo212]

I was a little worried with the Trap when I lifted it by the handle. I still am NOT confident in the longterm health of that lol. I am likely going to try and get that one smoke machine that slides into the bottom of the trap. I really wish the PKE meter was just the '84 PKE, like a lot of people, but it is what it is.

[@TheREALBlackMarshBrotherhood]

I'm thinking of chopping off the taser switch make it go away completely

[@TheREALBlackMarshBrotherhood]

The handle on the trap and the pedal is disgusting 😭

I have that hoodie!

[@tommyowens7293]

Am I right in saying, in regards to the wheels - they’re meant to be bigger as that’s the way they were in afterlife, which is the film itself based on?

[@kevinsisler9379]

One issue I had was where the service button is, and how easy it is to accidentally pressing it when using handle.

[@Corfield81]

such a shame us in the UK have to wait longer due to shipping delay :(

[@nerdloftgaming]

You need to flip the taser switch back in place BEFORE resetting the PKE arms. That’s why people are having a hard time putting the arms back 🤦‍♂️

[@parajerry]

You missed a major difference on the traps. The cartridge comes out on the haslab.

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

It comes out on the Matty trap too, I just didn’t mention it.

I'm happy with MOST of this set.. the PKE is actually amazing... I'd prefer an '84 version, but the weight, the smooth motors, and the much better (though not exactly right) sounds are very well done. The trap has great build quality and weight, and better accuracy than anything mass produced yet... but it is underwhelming otherwise. The trap sequence is very 'meh'. Most sounds are too quiet, except the 'ghost trapped' beep.. which is about 3 levels higher.. so if we replace the speaker with something better, that beeping might blow the speaker. The pedal feels like cheap plastic, though I admit it's probably only because the trap itself feels so much more solid. Worse, and the only 'deal breaker' that ensures I will replace the guts if they make new innards like GPstar or whatever, is the constant 'ghost mode'. It is advertised as having a 'no ghost mode', but it doesn't. The random ghost noises are continual. Every 2 mins or so. If you trapped a ghost or not. It just keeps going off. I hate it. It feels gimmicky, and immediately broadcasts that this is just a TOY. There should be a way to turn that off, and just have a nice, gently hummign trap when, say, explaining how it works to kids. The random sounds will smother the fantasy there immediately. And the holster! No toy has been built that solid since the old steel tonka trucks that we used to ram into rocks, and walls, and each other as kids.. this thing could be used to hammer nails! All in all, I don't feel ripped off... but man, that random ghost sounds thing is infuriating.

[@sckmagic7]

It absolutely does have a no ghost mode. It is the 3rd switch on the front.

[@NewMessage]

@@sckmagic7 I still hear ghosts continually, no matter which way it is set.

[@TheREALBlackMarshBrotherhood]

Absolutely no one on Earth is going to resell this thing for the original price

[@loyalROCKfan]

Plesse don't take this the wrong way but you just seem so underwhelmed and not even really interested in them at all. Almost like "meh" 🤷

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

Not offended. That’s kind of my overall vibe when I’m on video. Sorry if that doesn’t communicate how much I like the set. I’m very happy with it. 🙂

[@TheREALBlackMarshBrotherhood]

Ive sold those Halloween ones for $100 each 😅 they're not cheap hahaha

[@TheREALBlackMarshBrotherhood]

The connections for the cable is trash ass too.

[@TheREALBlackMarshBrotherhood]

All of their instructions for a while have BEEN absolutely useless trash 🗑️ hahaha

[@TheREALBlackMarshBrotherhood]

The trap pedal is absolutely trash! Ass hahaha 🤣 it's not heavy and it's going to break 💔 I'm disgusted and disappointed with the pedal. And the handle on the trap is just stupidity. Flimsy and the button is too easy to accidentally open it.

[@iDX1701]

The PKE meter is absolutely atrocious. Who ever designed it/programmed it (I'm assuming zack spina) is seriously bad and unqualified.
