ahahahah! Niiiice 
Wow… they actually stole the old Ghostbusters.net logo, how incredibly lame is that?
That is some kind of awesome. My general impetus for trying to pull together a GB uniform for Halloween is that my 4-year-old daughter fell in love with the Ghostbusters while watching me play the game and now desperately wants to be one for Halloween. So we’re going together. I’m doing the best to come up with accurate uniform for myself as quickly as possible while still making it in time for the holiday (the Proton Pack is going to be a pain..), but for my daughter’s costume it doesn’t have to be as accurate. Does anyone know of any source for the packs in the pictures without having to buy the monstrosity of the “costume” as well? It would be perfect for my daughter.
I don’t think the point of that costume is to look at the pack. :sigh:
LOL…agreed!
Yeah, when I look at that picture I’m like, “pack, what pack?
This guy look SO GAY!!! lol
Those costumes are currently in production I believe by Rubies, and I’ve never seen the pack sold seperately.
Lmao, kinda reminds me of Leon from Resident Evil 2 n 4 cept… Gay. And that is stupid how hes holding the Gun. When i went on a halloween cruise back in 07 some guys were wearing these and everyone LOVED them! I couldnt believe it! I wish i cud finish my pack then go back in time with it and like just walk up to them and be like…
“Sup Guys, how’s it hanging?”
Turns on pack Bzzzzzzuuuuuuuuyyyyyyiiieeeeee (pack start up sound lol)
Then walk away.
Yeah it would be Such a Dbag thing to do, but i think it would still be funny.
how many of you have seen an ebay auction with a rgb ghostpack upside down? how many have seen people wear the rgb ghost pack upside down? ive seen hundreds.
i bought a rgb pack off ebay years ago, guess what. stickers are upside down.
whats the big deal other than not everyone knows the way its supposed to go? i know im not going to walk over to an absolutely gorgeous woman in a sexy ghostbuster costume and tell her that her proton pack is upside down. that would make one look like an ■■■■■■■. say “hey great costume.” and if you’re not homely, get her number.
They are. As a fan of various shows and movies, browsing the Rubies website is a wonderland of getting everything wrong.
Also why is the guy holding the wand that way? Ghostbusters isn’t an obscure movie, you’d think an intern or something would tell them how it is supposed to be held.
The gun is an inflatable thing, with a very thin vacuform part.. it could easily be that if it wasn’t held like that, that is would be drooping down.
yeah most likely that is the reason. Personally i think if they are going to sell a product such as this they should at least take the time to make it look right , especially if they are going to have the nerve to sell these things for up to $50.00!!! I mean I am not an idiot i realize these costumes will never look as good as anything that is fan made. But i mean the company should have enough respect for there products,customers, and themselves to make them look half decent and not have packs upside down and throwers made so cheap that you have to hold it a certain way or it will bend…ugh
ITS A QUICK HALLOWEEN COSTUME FOR GROWN UPS TO GO OUT FOR ONE NIGHT AND GET DRUNK AND KIDS TO GO OUT FOR ONE NIGHT TO GET CANDY PLEASE GET OVER IT.
Much Love,
-Spooky
yeah for the price drunk or not it still looks a bit craptastic
I don’t think there is any reason why they couldn’t have delivered a better looking outfit for a reasonable price. The pack could have been foam filled rubber, vacuform or blow molded.
If it was a $20 costume what it is would make more sense, but a $50 costume? Ripoff.
Scuze me Charger, I’m fuzzy on the whole good bad thing, What do you mean “homely”?
Maybe I’m one of them and don’t know it, but it sure would explain why I don’t get numbers…
By the way, the GB girl on the right, she’s smokin!
Ah man, I just bought one of these for halloween off of ebay! And now after reading this thread I am so sad! :walterpeck: lulz jk
There’s always time to resell it on ebay for halloween. 
They are available in target, walmart, and most halloween stores… why you’d buy one off ebay is beyond me.
As for why it’s inflatable over a rubber or foam pack and gun…it’s all about mass production and packaging. Notice how in a Halloween store every costume is in those plastic bags with a hook? They can probably fit a good 50 costumes into one master case. Whereas if they made a decent foam backpack they could only fit like 1 or 2 per box and then it costs them more money for each box.
It’s all about making a quick buck. It’s sad that some of these movie companies actually license these costumes though…I see the costumes for Star Wars and cringe. But…I guess to a “non-costume obsessed” it looks great. shrugs
