Got it yesterday. Chose ups standard. A little smaller than my an/pvs reps. Overall I like them. Animation of slimer and bonus stuff are ok if that.
now. what are the animations like? not the “they look like a toy” but are they like a hologram?
There’s a mirror on the right wall in the right ocular reflecting what might be another angled mirror and the transparent projection area. . It looks 16 bit.
Damn! That was quick!
Looks like I might be giving them the spray paint treatment.
yeh helps to pay the extra UPS fee and not wait 2 weeks with usps transit times..but yeh the paint is off a few shades..but its a display item not gonna bring these out in public.
do you have a pke meter to sink with it. how dose is it work with interaction if so
It basically pics up the beeping from the pke. Nothing fancy. Little pieces of plastic amplifying the speaker on the pke and a piece of plastic swapped with the bottom visor knob which receives or detects the beeps. No Bluetooth or anything that synchs the two props.
dose it seem to work good?
Still looks pretty cool. Definately gonna have to save up for one of those.
Really don’t like these!! They look terrible!! Especially the lenses. I won’t be wasting my money on a pair of these…

I for one think these are pretty neat. While they are about 10-20% smaller that my pvs-5 replicas they serve their purpose as ecto goggles. I will probably be scanning the labels and printing them out on my own sticker paper or modifying the already availible file to fit the Matty goggles better. My only gripe about them, really, is the thumb screws seem a bit to big and somewhat off to me. With that said, while these are designed for the “adult collector” my kids have been enjoying wearing them and the cool “view master” features that are included. While these aren’t a “must have” I’m not at all disappointed in what Mattel has put out.
I don’t like how the head strap or thumb screws are but I did order a pair and am exited to get them. I only wish Mattel would keep quality in mind like the pke meter and i don’t see why they didn’t put the stickers on in factory
I actually prefer it without the stickers, that way I can give it a nice coat of OD Green
Ha! I was toying around with the goggles and figured if it’s the beeping from the pke that activates the library ghost… All you really have to do is whistle and it’ll work.
What kind and how many batteries do they run on?
3 AAA batteries.
I got my pair in today. Anyone put the stickers on yet? if you did where did you put them?
Good question, man. If you want to be “screen accurate,” you can either let someone else do the research for you or watch the movie again & take notes. Please share, because I’m somewhat interested in this, but not overly ■■■■about it like most people here. I guess mine will come in next week. These toys are like the evolution of what the “Kenner” toys of yesteryear could’ve been.

My goggles just got here a little while ago. First impressions are that they are “ok” but they’ll look good sitting on my display shelf with my pke and trap.
They don’t really sit on top of my head real well, the way Ray usually wears them when not on his face, but not a huge deal. Hoping someone has a good layout for the stickers, tried looking at some pics and can’t make heads or tails. Side knobs look like they should have been black though, not a big deal lol.
Overall for what I paid I’m happy, they’re identifiable and will look nice on display.
