No videos, but I’ve got a stack of new photos.
Ok kids, here we go:
Here’s Scott from Matty taking them out, and pointing out the new component for the PKE:
Here’s Jonny Ruckus (FunkPunkTwang) trying them on:
Here’s Pete (NHVenkman) with them on:
Here’s the inside of the goggles:
Here’s a shot of Slimer (pretty blurry):
And another:
Here’s the “slimed” effect:

Ok, so here’s what we got - if you buy just the goggles, you’ll just see Slimer, who basically flies around and then slimes you. If you do have the PKE, you can use the component, and you can see both Slimer and the library ghost (though that wasn’t working yet - they said it will be ready to go soon). It does make sounds, but they were also not functional yet, either. It takes only a single AAA battery, and overall the effect was really cool. My photos weren’t very clear, but the Slimer animation was totally clear and it looked pretty realistic up close. Very neat.
Scott told us that the green color was authenticated by Sony as legit, and noted that the color on screen looks different because of the film, etc. Not sure if I buy it, considering the real prop is likely made from actual spec goggles, but whatever - it’s not too far off. We also pointed out to him that the larger side label is likely supposed to be on foil, and he seemed interested to know that. I’m guessing people will want to make their own labels for this, since theirs weren’t as impressive. The bottom knobs are easily interchangeable to go between GB1 and GB2 styles. The headstraps are one size fits all, and elastic to stretch. Scott noted that legally they couldn’t make them adjustable, though I didn’t catch the exact reason why. He was very quick to let us know that this is still not the final product and that they’re still doing final adjustments, etc. to make them as good as possible.
He said they’re totally committed to making more GB props, and didn’t flinch when we asked if a proton pack was a possibility, so who knows? We mentioned doing a KUD or Gigameter, and he seemed open and interested in those choices as well. We’ll see. Really nice guy, and totally happy to let us mess around with everything they had out, including the Hover Board, which is really cool in person (and heavier than I thought it would be). Sounds like a guy who really loves his job and cares about getting things right. He sounded really sad that the action figure line had to die off, and said that he was the one who pushed for the final Courtroom figure/Scoleri brother to get made before it was all done.
As with all of their other props, they aren’t as accurate as the fan-made ones, but the additional stuff they are bringing to the table are really cool, and totally worth the price.
