Hasbro unveils the HasLab Plasma Series Proton Pack

[kingpin]

Following the teaser during Hasbro's Pulse Con event last week, Ghostbusters fans have now been given a preview of the Proton Pack replica the toy company has developed to release through its HasLab range, a customer crowd-funded facility similar to Kickstarter.

Here are the details we currently know:

Price: $399.99/£359.99

Features: Lights and sounds inspired by the screen-used Proton Pack props and how they appear on-screen in the movies.

Design: Scanned from one of the screen-used props featured in Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

Stretch Goals:

1. The Classic Bundle (inspired by the 1984 movie)

The first stretch goal will include a connection hose that hooks the HasLab Proton Pack up to the Spengler Neutrona Wand. Custom 1984 decals with a brushed chrome look will also be included for your pre-existing Spengler Neutrona Wand.

-9000 Backers.

2. The Ghostbusters: Afterlife Bundle

The second stretch goal will include 3 Plasma Series Mini-Pufts figures AND 3 alternate, swappable heads, featuring NEW DECO! A white marshmallow goo attachment for the Proton Pack will also be included.

-11,000 Backers.

3. The Spengler Special

The third stretch goal will include a sheet of Ghostbusters-themed decals and an Egon Spengler 16-page notebook that includes schematics, handwritten notes, and personal anecdotes.

-13,000 Backers.

4. The Supernatural Stand

The fourth stretch goal will include an exclusive high-quality display stand.

-15,000 Backers.

One feature of note that was shown with a physical prototype of the replica, and is a small spoiler for something that will be seen in Ghostbusters: Afterlife, was a removable bumper and Cyclotron cover, exposing some of the Proton Pack’s internal mechanism

The HasLab Proton Pack replica is not supplied with a Proton Gun, but is compatible with the existing Plasma Series Spengler’s Neutrona Wand.

Those interested in pledging support to the campaign will have until 11:59pm Eastern Time on December 12th, 2021 to do so. The project requires 7,000 backers minimum to be greenlit for production.

If successful, the replicas are expected to ship around March 2023.

More images (including those aforementioned-spoilers) can be seen on the replica’s official page.

Its noted on the Haslab page itself that no wand is included, but is compatible with the Spengler Wand Hasbro has already released.

This thing is a homerun though and that price is bonkers. Even having to buy a Spengler Wand on top of it, you’re looking at like $550 for a pack.

I have never moved that fast in my life to pre order something. Super excited. I will keep this level until 2023z

In the pic with the man wearing it it doesn’t look 1:1 scale. I hope they release more info on the sizing

That was one of my first thoughts as well. Maybe it was just photoshopped poorly onto the model? 1:1 means 1:1 right? Maybe the lack of an Alice frame makes it sit lower on the guys back.

It’s hard to make out, but I’m hoping that motherboard has mounting holes for an Alice frame. Looks like it might!

I’m curious as to how the Spengler Neutrona Wand will attach to the proton pack. It doesn’t look like it comes with a hose to attach the two parts together.

[nickytea]

Gotta believe the stretch goal sets include hoses.

I’m guessing the hose will be a regular split loom but hope it’s the afterlife version.

Does the second part mean they include pristine stickers to replace the existing ones on the spengler wand?

My guess is that it will look like the one in the video:

So I just dropped the $426, but I’m a bit confused/concerned… I don’t think I’m a “premium member”. Does that mean I’m not included in the stretch goals?

You don’t need to be a premium member for the stretch goals. Premium members who sign up in the first 48 hours get free green slime.

I think it just means you don’t get the green slime attachment. Everything else should be included for non-premium buyers

Awesome, thanks!

Just ordered mine. Now here’s hoping it gets funded.

I don’t really know how the ALICE frame gets connected, but you are implying that all these back holes around the edges and connectors on the middle are made for an ALICE frame addition???
