The Southern California Ghostbusters and Arizona Ghostbusters sent in this video today demonstrating the new PKE Meter from Mattel. It shows off some of the features like the ability to switch between light effects on the wings and change the display. The PKE Meter will be available in limited supply from MattyCollector in a few months. The price will be closer to $60, not $50 as we had previously revealed.
Thanks to xtrmn8r17 for posting the video.
Pretty awesome.
…wow i want one
Cool! Since it doesn’t use those finicky touch switches you can have hands off operation for keeping the wings open.
The only down side I can see, which was brought up by someone else is that the rear wheel needs to be rotated quite a bit to get it to speed up the lights. Hopefully that can be corrected for the production version.
yeah i agree, aj. i’m surprised to find out that the wings and display panel lights operate separately and not in tandem.
That’s actually how they worked on the real prop.
lol really? wow my noobness must be showing
AWESOME!! Haley said, “No fair Jeff the Ghostbuster got to play with the PKE meter!” LOL
does limited supply mean that its gonna sell out within 0.5 seconds or are people gonna be restricted to limited quantity instead of buying them up. If its the former there goes my chance of getting one
Whenever any buster has walked up to the booth they’ve handed it to them to look at. I got a longer look at it later and it is very impressive and awesome for the price. As I said in the video, it’s going for what you would spend on servos for a kit.
For less then $100, that is an absolutely amazing piece of plastic, I tells ya.
This thing is TOTALLY AWESOME! Got to play with it today 3 different times! Can’t freakin’ wait for this even though I know that I shall have to until the holiday season at least! It even has to mode buttons that switch the light sequence between the ones seen in GB1 to those seen in GB2 that are slightly different in pattern! Talk about screen accuracy! It also has a very nice weight to it! AMAZING!
I think they’ve actually managed to spread happiness and cheer among thousands of GB fans, it sure is an absolutely amazing piece of plastic as some_guy has put it. I only hope there will be enough for everyone that wants one… including one for me!
“in limited supply”
I don’t like the sound of that…
What does Holiday 2011 mean? Xmas 2011?

I wish they’d stop with these limited productions and do a full blown run like the Toy Story / Iron Man toys I see everywhere. Would put everyone at ease if they did.
Oh well, guess I should be thankful we’re getting this. I just hope the website holds up and they have enough stock for the fans!
WOW!
Like other have said “limited supply” worries me, some goon will be selling them at a 400% profit on ebay with a day of them being released, I just hope that I manage to get my name down for one in time!
Does mattycollector ever offer pre-orders for toys as I never really been one for buying action figures but this I simply MUST have!
super excited about this, with the exception of “limited supply”
I NEED one of these. MUST have one!!! :vinzclortho:
The “in limited supply” doesn’t bother me that much. So far hasn’t everything been “in limited supply”?
And that video is full of awesomeness. Can’t wait for the figure reveals later today!
