[@MichaelMercy]

The Haslab proton pack is no longer available but the Neutrona Wand (Ver.2) is in stock at BBTS: bit.ly/NeutronaWand (they've now made the barrel tip orange)

"He slimed me." Quoted by Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters

[@ninjaraptor0612]

When I was a kid, I was obsessed with Ghostbusters. My father created me a "proton pack" by getting a hiking backpack, flipped it over to make the round top on the bottom, attached a frisbee to it to represent that round part with the lights and showed a tube of a vacuum cleaner which had a vaccum handle sticked to it and that was it. Had some amazing times with it

[@MechaniclifeJDM]

He knew how to dad….

[@gingerpimpNo1]

This video is brilliant! My son has just discovered the Ghostbusters and he’s a fanatic. He’s only six and he never stops watching all things Ghostbuster. He wanted to watch things on KZbin and we found this video and I love it! So we’ll put together. Keep these coming

[@D.nada_47]

First time arriving at your channel and gotta say great vid. Its been cool seeing all my fellow GBs worldwide suit up and live that childhood dream.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you. Keep bustin'.

[@cliffnewman5469]

Excellent review, busting a slimmer at the end was very entertaining... Well done...

[@LimitedExposures]

I build one back about 8ish years ago and man do I wish this was around then - would have saved me so much time and $$ So happy you got one and paired with the alice pack!!!

[@JMan1380]

If it's anything I learned it's that anyone can be a Ghostbuster. I knew that as a kid with my Egon costume and Kenner gear. I've come to appreciate that more since joining the Windy City Ghostbusters with similar gear to yours. You've got the tools, why not show off the talent? There's got to be a Ghostbusters chapter around you...they're everywhere! It's so fun to participate in events around town. I've marched in parades around Chicago, gone to conventions, parties and more. The kids love us and parents appreciate us. I find it rewarding to share my love of Ghostbusters with new and old fans. You'd be a perfect addition to a chapter.

[@nickthepick8043]

Thanks for sticking up for the Spirit Halloween Model! I used it for a Halloween Costume Contest at work, and won first prize. At the time, I had experience making my own movie accurate version, but I ended up buying that one out of convenience because creating a new one from scratch wasn't a priority at the time. Great video! Very satisfying of a watch.

[@RageONTv]

Hahahahaha the end was the best! I actually got scared when the red slimer flew to the camera 🎥 wasn’t expecting that at all 😅

[@spacemonkey1983style]

This was awesome man!

[@kylec.8350]

I missed out on the haslab but grabbed the upgraded spirit pack, and the Spengler wand. I will never give up being a Ghostbusters nothing comes close, wearing the jumpsuit and the proton pack is a honor.

[@demolitionman7510]

That was one of the best Haslab proton pack review videos I've seen, and I've seen a ton! Really fun to watch, many "that's just like me!" moments. Two notes: the Haslab campaign ran in 2021 (10/27-12/12). And regarding the rumble function of the pack...it reacts to the actions of the wand. That's super-dope. The wand not simply turns the pack (and itself) on and off, it even does more...that was my biggest surprise when I got mine. Oh yeah, and the pack includes many easter eggs.

[@jimbear62]

I wound up replacing the lights in my Spirit pack with a very basic light kit from GB Fans and replaced the wand with my Spengler wand (it's now on my Haslab pack)

[@bluesthing7490]

I love the effects at the end!!!

[@Steven-ip8xo]

[@mamorutoriyama]

100% *THE GRAIL* of toys/movie props. the proton pack was every kid's dream~ the short video at the end was awesome too, all the "Toy" gadgets are so authentic looking! I love how the short felt like an episode of cops, I always Dreamed of a ghostbusters TV show that was filmed *on the go* like a 'ride-along'/COPS style reality tv show. Awesome video!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@LimitedExposures]

that ending!!! what. a. nerd!!! I love it~!!! Now you just need the trap

[@Chris_D199]

Awesome review bro! Glad you picked this up as well. It is the coolest toy in my collection too!

[@FjordTalk]

It gives me such happiness hearing someone else feel exactly the same way about the proton pack I do. As a kid it was something I just instantly wanted, dreamt about. And my love for Ghostbusters never got any less as I grew up. I didn't get the Haslab pack, but I did just a couple of months ago get the new full size Sprite Halloween pack and it was one of the happiest days of my life. It hangs peobdlt proudly on my wall and every single day I just look at it, and smile. It's joy. It took me about 25 years to finally have this dream happen, but so worth it. Sure beats what I did as a kid, putting a vacume cleaner inside a back pack and busting till' I felt good.

[@MichaelMercy]

😊

[@CWIllustration]

Nice video, from the reverential review of the Haslab pack to subdoing the aggressive paranormal entity... well done!

[@stephaniehazell2651]

So awesome!! Nerdmaste!

[@Stefoshark]

Happy for you friend ❤, have a nice day & be safe… now I know who to call 😊

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you.

[@ZION73082]

Every Ghostbusters fan wearing a Haslab Pack... Louis Tully: I DID IT, I'M A GHOSTBUSTER!!! 😏😎😉🥰

[@OldManTheseDays]

Wow, good stuff, Mike! Impressive piece that’s exceptionally well engineered!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! Well worth the long wait.

[@TomMSTie1138]

I have my holy grail: a replica of Luke's original Graflex Flash lightsaber from A NEW HOPE.

[@jubsy]

Timing the ad with the Real Ghost Busters commercial break was so classy I don't even. Well done.

[@MichaelMercy]

[@steelmember6326]

[@ScottCrusher]

Awesome work Michael, this review was so much fun!

[@forever-a-collector]

[@alvinjasper5092]

This is nostalgic for me I need this for my collection sadly I don’t have other money lol 👻 😂 # not afraid of no ghost

[@medranoge1]

Great review and amazing dedication to busting that ghost Michael 👏🏻

[@kurisu7885]

I have no idea how to size a flight suit so I use a work shirt with patches on it, it gets the point across

[@thebluelibra5686]

On point as usual...really enjoyed the field demonstration at the end. Props to your trainee/camera operator, they probably did need that clean pair of shorts after that ghost encounter.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you! Yeah, Ray plans for these sorts of things.

[@EugenioAngueira]

This was awesome! Keep'on ghost hunting!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@4HoopsAndHomers]

Big congratulations on the grail!! Enjoy reliving your childhood, and stay away from the slime!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@jimbear62]

From what I understand, When they produced the wand , there was no plans to make a pack to go with it....

[@MCDJACDC]

Just too dang cool 😎 👌

[@natr0n]

awesome video

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks!

[@amptransformers2257]

I loved the Tropic Thunder reference 🤣

[@171QA]

Cool.

[@feffe4036]

Nice. How much was back when backing it? Wanna buy one now and it costs like 1200-2000 euros

[@The_guy25]

When you hear the ghostbusters theme

[@HoovraCommander]

Congrats on getting another grail! So what's left, of things that actually exist? Some little pieces of Centurions weapon packs? I think we're both to the point where we've accumulated MOST of the things we're after, and that’s a nice feeling.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! Can't think of anything else at the moment.

[@emerje0]

Adam Savage got to have a hand in the accuracy of the pack. John Warden from the HasLab design team (previous head of the Transformers design team) came to his shop to show of the prototype and he pointed out a few things that weren't quite accurate and let them take a few parts from his shop that were used in the original props so they could make some adjustments for the final product. The video is on his channel Tested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5SVm4uora5kibc

[@MichaelMercy]

Glad they let him be involved.

[@andy86i]

Now to modify it into a 1984 pack

[@JoeAlFoBet]

UUUUGH!! I WANT ONE SOOO BAD!!! 😫😫😫😫😫

[@brandonr8269]

I bet I can guess what you're dressing up as for Hallowe'en!

[@ERiQTENDO]

Dope; keep the bay ghost free!

[@douglasbrownell2704]

my holy grail is the original 1984 optimus prime mint in box.

[@ericmadsen7470]

Some time in the not to distant future, somebody will create a real life working proton pack.

[@TheI3lacky]

I wasnt always a Collector... but to have missed or well, not knowing about Haslab was the sadest day, when I realized I will never own a Haslab Pack... :( I bought a Wand after but its like said in the Video... its just sitting in its Box. :(

[@deszaras3]

This video is as if I made it for myself

[@speedkillzartist]

I bet you also must be excited about the two in a box Haslab release 😎🚫👻🙌🏻

[@MichaelMercy]

Patiently waiting for it to ship. 😊

[@speedkillzartist]

@@MichaelMercy yeah, man, me too! 😎
