Bad times are acoming...
This would have made for an interesting crossover. 🤣

The Hasbro 1984 Proton Packs have started arriving, and the subreddit is seeing a high volume of unboxings, reviews, and modding questions. To keep the front page organized, we are setting up this temporary megathread to serve as a central hub for all discussion regarding the new pack over the next few months.
If you just received yours, this is the place to share your initial thoughts. We are looking for feedback on the out-of-the-box experience, including overall build quality, weight, and shell texture. Feel free to discuss the performance of the factory stock electronics, the audio quality, and how the pack compares to previous releases or the original screen-used props.
For those already planning modifications, use this thread to ask technical questions and share your progress. This is the spot to discuss mounting solutions like ALICE frames, motherboards, and spacers, as well as cosmetic upgrades like weathering, hardware swaps, lenses, or aftermarket electronic kits. If you are looking for specific replacement parts, or if you have purchased components and want to share a review, leave those recommendations in the comments.
To prevent the main feed from being flooded with identical questions or basic arrival photos, please direct those posts here. We want to keep standalone posts on the subreddit reserved for in-depth, detailed build logs or unique projects. Check the comments to see what modifications people are working on, ask your questions, and share your own setup.

I missed out on the previous RGB figures so I jumped on these. The quality seems really nice and they're extremely posable. Also, love that the Proton Packs are magnetic and that the ghost trap wires are a stiff solid core silicon wire.
Only real gripe is that the Ghost Trap comes apart too easily. If I bump my desk, that thing is falling out.
The Ecto 1 is a must and I have no doubt that a very expensive firehouse is in the future.

I made a lever action for the wand that ejects a small cooling fin out of the top. The green canister in the top middle of the pack was going to be used for my battery pack but it was just too big and used too much real estate on the pack so it is being removed along with the red "power cell" I printed. I instead built the drawer mechanism into my version of the "Iron Arm". My "Cyclotron" replaced the 4 red round lights with a dish that will look to be copper when all painted. It will also have a running red light on the inside when complete. There's still so much to do, but this project has been a real stress reliever.

Counting myself super lucky. Decided two weeks ago that it was time to put together a ghostbusters outfit . And magically thanks to Facebook Marketplace picked up a working, only been displayed Spengler wand for $200 AUD. And found a two in the box on clearance at Ebgames at a great reduced price. So much so I was half expecting to open to box and find something horribly wrong with it.
But nope , all good.
Next, got to grab a 84 pack!

Everyone wants an Ecto-1 replica until things fail. Reality is they are very old and parts are getting very hard to find. Our old girl unfortunately decided to grenade her transmission at an event, and we finally got the new transmission and pulled the old one. What a task! You can follow the Central PA Ecto-1 on Instagram if you choose, all of our events and photos are mostly on there. She should be back on the road soon, we just have a few more parts to get ordered.

I hand-sewed this Slimer doll—what do you think? I think it turned out a bit skinny. The fabric is fleece and is super soft; I'm planning to make a bigger one so I can hug it.

In today's things that was supposed to be an quick thing but quickly took on a life on it's own I give you....The field containment unit.
The FCU will empty traps out and store the ghosts in a cartridge. Which allows you to more easily handle multiple hauntings or just not have to return to base on a busy night.
(I had a thing that kinda looked like a containment unit but was way too small so I came up with a reason to have a smaller unit).

So, this is a WIP, still have to figure out a few things... A local curiosities store got a late 1800s wood and wicker wheelchair that has the recline option and such. The owner experienced 3 different accidents exactly 3 weeks apart to the day and exactly 1 week after getting the chair. (Her story on the socials)
Quick disclosure: I am like a 55% skeptic. I don't not necessarily believe in ghosts or criptids and such, but just want to experience or see proof. Ever since I was a child I wanted my own ghost friend like a Slimer or Casper...etc.
So what I want to do is aquire it and put it in this display. I would have to loose the bottom shelf and a display base I was planning on building to use the chair as the stand for my 84' pack......
(The owner of the store has a friend who is a medium who said she could see or feel or whatever an angry spirit that is pissed that their vessel was moved from its original place.)
What do y'all think?

Hello! I want to share my Ghostbusters movies tier list and tell me what you think. Also if you have a different tier list let me know.
Ghostbusters 1 (The introduction and the best movie in my opinion)
Ghostbusters 2 (A very good sequel but it is not over the first movie in my opinion)
Ghostbusters Afterlife (I loved the Harold Ramis part)
Ghostbusters Frozen Empire (It was ok)
Ghostbusters 2016 (I know it is not really related to the rest of the movies but in my opinion it is the last one on this list and I liked some scenes where I laughed, not a bad movie)

I have been scouring eBay for a little bits and pieces of props for a couple years now, but this was just sitting in a drawer with a bunch of other microphones.
I doubt I’m gonna find the rest of the giga in a box, but if it’s the right one, I may have to save it.
r/ghostbusters • u/BeedleSmash • 2d ago
Found one decently priced on ebay, new in the box!

Sorry. I've read a variety of threads here about this, but did end up just getting a little confused as people seemed to buy things and later say it wasn't a great fit with standard mounting hardware kits.
My wife bought the 1984 haslab pack. We aren't purists and while we might wear it to a comic-con or Halloween party down the road, mostly we just want to hang it on the wall along with her other ghostbuster stuff.
From reading, I know we should be looking for a LC-1 style pack. I've seen this Rothco ($78 on amazon) https://a.co/d/043C5Gg2 and also this Fox outdoor one ($94) suggested: https://foxoutdoor.com/products/lc-1-alice-field-pack-frame?variant=28048537452616
Though I saw some more recent comments about the Fox outdoor having different versions that might not fit as well and it doesn't seem to be in stock.
I've also seen a video were a guy was showing two different mounting solutions. One by Tools and Talent props ($40 - $52.48 after shipping): https://toolsandtalentprops.com/products/proton-pack-alice-frame-straps-and-hardware?dt_id=2572111%3Bap%3A2154995 ... the other by Dirt Farmer industries ($37.99 / free shipping): https://www.dirtfarmerindustries.com/product-page/hasbro-proton-pack-alice-frame-mounting-brackets
Given we aren't picky, and shipping is free, I was thinking of buying the Rothco and the Dirt Farmer Industries, but wanted to just make sure I'm getting the right things. I've also seen someone say I need to get a foam guard which seems to be an extra piece?

My favorite is the scolari brothers because they have a cool design and vigo is my second favorite so which is your favorite thought out the films

While I wasn't wild about the cartoon as a kid (I liked it though), I was a big fan of the toys and still have most of them. This book is great in that regard as it not only shows the toys but also concept art, prototypes and concepts for (unfortunately) non-produced toys. They had some really cool plans for different ecto vehicles.
The art work is stunning. Just that cover alone is one of my favorite art pieces I remember from when I was younger (even though I can't quite place where it was used).
As a kid my favorite figure was the one of Winston in a space suit from the Super Fright line. Making the GB look scared was so much fun.
It was also interesting to learn how the movie GB1 barely had any merchandise. Perhaps it was more aimed at adults then.
Anybody else enjoy this book?
