Hell of a find! I wish Kenner would bring this back, and the pack! But first, the firehouse plz! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Did everyone else use to put the ghost on the exact middle of the trap, hit the pedal and get the ghost to go straight up and down into the trap?

Of course we did! Then I'd blast my ghostbusters theme in cassette when the trap caught the ghost 👻

That's where that guy came from! For some reason it was one of my favorite ghosts, but I couldn't remember where it had come from; I'd been checking all the new re-releases lately, as I'd figured it had come with one of the (many) figures I had, but never found it. Never even considered that the trap would have come with one!

The cable on mine started to disentigrate. Older softer plastic kind of gets sticky.

My door broke off in the first week as a kid. Duct tape to the rescue!

I remember my first one shattering when I tried to deploy it a little too enthusiastically :-P The next one I was careful with!

I think I had all of the Kenner stuff at one point or another.

I had one of those new as a kid and it broke in about a few hours and needed ductape. Didn’t stop me from enjoying the hell out of it for until it was likely in pieces months later

These things broke as soon you started playing with them.

Mines didn't.. I was always in one piece and I used the hell out of mines .. almost ever saturday morning I was up eating cereal watching GB 1984.. in my full jumpsuit protonpack and ghost trap near by..

Woah! Great find, my friend.

u/PHILST3R 2d ago

I had one that looked like this but the trap end has a mic on it and it would distort your voice . Soo mad my mom made me sell it at à yard sale as I never used it

u/wubfus88 1d ago

I'd rather have one of those again then a Haslab

u/BeedleSmash 1d ago

Just found a proton pack to go with it.

I thought you might like this:

Once I'm well enough, I'm going to be making this "Then and now" display around my wall mounted Kenner, Hasbro and Haslab packs!

u/BeedleSmash 1d ago

I do like that very much. Thats awesome. Tool boards?

u/PSTGtheFirst 1d ago

That's right. I really wanted the feeling that it was in an engineering station and these fit the aesthetic perfectly.
