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

[@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.

[@Tootuff]

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

[@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.

[@SpaceWizardCosplay]

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

[@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. 😢

[@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!

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@MissJazz004]

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.

[@sunderjirahim]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@mstrider80]

Needing to put an orange toy gun barrel cap on the end of a neutrona wand toy to prevent getting shot by the real police is sadly just the most modern American thing I can think of.

[@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

[@michaelcultra4496]

Finally the only unboxing that matters!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@robd593]

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

[@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.

[@EricG7713]

Am I wrong or was there supposed to be slime attachments along with the marshmallow ones?

[@GhostbustersNews]

If you were a Hasbro Pulse Premium member and backed within the first 48 hours, then yes. It's being sent separately, with our slime arriving hopefully tomorrow.

[@EricG7713]

@@GhostbustersNews awesome thank you! My pack is still on the way. 😁

[@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

[@EpicElmoAnimations0823]

Question, Will the pack still fit on the stand if you attach the frame? Thanks

[@GhostbustersNews]

Yep!

[@EpicElmoAnimations0823]

@@GhostbustersNews Oh wow, didn't expect you to reply. Thanks for letting me know!

[@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.

[@sadistich0rr0r99]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@marcusbachelder]

Watching this video and MY PACK ROLLS UP

[@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!

[@hatswitchstudios]

It’s by far my favorite item in my collection. So cool

[@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.

[@RageONTv]

Hi Jason I bought an Alice frame that came with black straps, was planning on using the straps and kidney pads from the Hasbro pack , would they fit? Thank you !

[@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 :)

[@NightWinggl]

Got mine yesterday, a little annoyed with the V-hook for the wand, doesn't seem like it hooks all the way. I have an original wand (no orange tip).

[@fandomvault4901]

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

[@notbuster126]

I put the back of my stand on backwards in my happy haste, so now the metal texture faces behind instead of forward >_< I'm wondering if I can pop it out with a knife or something, but it is FIRMLY attached lol

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@bashcrash9148]

Glad you got one Jason! Enjoy!

[@campbellosborne4136]

looks class

[@andrewburgoon4474]

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

[@bonorbitz]

What’s this I hear about the pack’s v-hook not being compatible with older Hasbro nutrona wands?

[@MelissaMarvelous]

Does everyone get he green pack slime tier enhancement seperately? I got the marshmallow one, but I’m seeing other people say they are getting the slime sent separately.

[@gambino3701]

No. Only Hasbro prime members that backed within like the first day or week or something got the slime.

[@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

[@ghostbusterspluscollector9624]

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

[@NotThatGuy_YepThatGuy]

I was almost as excited to see Jason get his pack as I was to receive mine.

[@DFX1701]

How did you put a green boarder around your video? 🤔

[@psychodfunk]

What about the overheat feature; does the pack do anything???

[@UnoGroove]

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

[@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.

[@christianmuller2849]

Hast du es endlich!!!! Glückwunsch👍👍

[@Dented_Battle_Armor]

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

[@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!

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.

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

Hey Jason you’re in Canada right? How did you gets yours I’m in Vancouver and still have zero info from Hasbro about when it arrives

[@GhostbustersNews]

No info from Hasbro, received phone calls from FedEx days before. Actually, I did get e-mails from Hasbro, but that was regarding slime attachments that have still not shown.

Yikes. So you never even received a tracking # via email? If that’s the case I’ll have to be mindful of phone calls. Thanks Jason.

My question... Can the pack lay horizontally on the stand? I ask for the vertical-space limited individuals out there.

[@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!

[@X-Gen-001]

I wonder if Hasbro will release a 1984 proton pack to go with the 1984 Neutrona Wand.

[@synthetikxdream]

How easy does it look to replace the plastic brass fitting with real ones? As for the wand, could you mention the mods you have done?

[@Dar512]

I want to know what happened with the green slime attachments.

[@kevinsisler9379]

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.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Alice frame installation.
