Did they hint at what the stretch goals would include?
The second two goals are holsters for the trap and PKE. The first one was just blueprints or something.
The arms on the PKE look a little fat…but the fact that it can also do the taser mode kind of makes up for it.
Also cool that the section on the top of the body lights up
Thank you so much for the link. I didn’t get it via e-mail yet (as a Haslab member)
Let’s go and get this backed ASAP! We can do it!
I’ll say the only thing i miss from the Mattel trap on this one is the random shaking and monster noises, that was one of the coolest things that did.
I’m in for two!!!
I just set my order for 3!
They look really cool but I think I’m gonna pass. I still have my Matty PKE and trap, as well as some of the 20 dollar traps and pke’s that float around during Halloween. Really hope it gets fully backed for everyone though! Good luck on the stretch goals too.
Backed two. Very disappointed it’s a Haslab. I mean, Afterlife came out in 2021, they are based on the Afterlife versions but will ship Dec 2024. Ouch. But…they look great. And now that the features of both are listed on the site, that looks promising. Especially curious about the trap and it’s changeable modes between GB1, GB2 and Afterlife.
I’m definitely ordering two. Depending on funds in early Dec., might spring for a third. It does worry me a little that we need 18,000 backers for all three stretch goal unlocks. I think when it was all said and done, the proton pack had a little over 19,000. So it might be cutting it really close.
Backed one more
Really glad its the Afterlife version of the PKE, its different enough that its ok to also have the Matty one with this. Really amazing that they managed to get a real EMF detector in there somehow.
There’s already nearly 1,300 backers - wow. I have a good feeling about this!

I am bit confused. Is this the ONLY reveal today?
All the pink slime was just a reference to GB 2 with this as the 2nd Haslab project?
So it would appear, yes. :whatever:
The PKE meter doubling as a working EMF meter sold me. Backed.
yeah they really should have mentioned that in the stream, its just kind of hidden in the listing there.
The unlocks are really solid. Not just fun addons but actual functional prop stuff. They are really fans building for fans.
The live presentation was great too. The background stuff of the ghostbusters examining the traumatized security guard made it more lively and fun
10/10 on this so far
That’s gonna need some serious shielding around the motors, putting giant electromagnets next to an electromagnetic frequency detector is just asking for trouble. But I guess it might be good enough to blip as you walk past power outlets etc.
