If there’s something strange within the neighborhood… then it’s best to most likely name 911 quite than spend $400 on this life-sized reproduction of Egon Spengler’s proton pack from Ghostbusters. But when your neighborhood appears fairly regular and you’ve got cash to spare, that is your probability to personal a nigh-perfect recreation of the ghostbusting tools you may strap to your personal again.
Haslab—mainly Hasbro’s Patreon for high-end toys it’s not going make until followers promise to purchase them—has opened a crowdfunding challenge for Spengler’s proton pack, straight scanned from the prop seen in Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Not solely will it have working lights, sounds, and a motor, there’ll be a swap you may flip to decide on both Afterlife or basic 1984 Ghostbusters results (I do not know what the distinction is, however clearly that is excellent news for purists).
Moreover, the prop even has “a metallic V-hook bracket that connects to the metallic V-hook bracket on the underside of the Neutrona Wand,” the Neutrona Wand being one other Hasbro Pulse merchandise you may preorder here for $125. In the event you’re not up in your Ghostbusters tools lingo, the Neutrona Wand… nicely, it’s the gun that connects to the proton pack, so if you happen to actually wish to get your cosplay on, you’re taking a look at dropping $525 for the pair. That’s, assuming the Proton Pack challenge will get absolutely funded, however I wouldn’t be too anxious about that. Greater than half of the 7,000 backers wanted have signed up because the challenge launched yesterday, and there are nonetheless 45 days to go. Listed below are the stretch targets:
- 9,000 backers to unlock the Class I Unlockable Stretch Objective: THE CLASSIC BUNDLE
- 11,000 backers to unlock the Class II Unlockable Stretch Objective: THE GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE BUNDLE
- 13,000 backers to unlock the Class III Unlockable Stretch Objective: THE SPENGLER SPECIAL
- 15,000 backers to unlock the Class IV Unlockable Stretch Objective: THE SUPERNATURAL STAND
I don’t know what these imply and Hasbro hasn’t detailed them, so contemplate them a shock for now. In the event you ain’t afraid of no ghost, you may pledge your cash to the Ghostbusters Plasma Sequence Egon Spengler’s Proton Pack here.
