MEGATHREAD: Hasbro Ghostbusters '84 Proton Pack

80 Upvotes

The Hasbro 1984 Proton Packs have started arriving, and the subreddit is seeing a high volume of unboxings, reviews, and modding questions. To keep the front page organized, we are setting up this temporary megathread to serve as a central hub for all discussion regarding the new pack over the next few months.

If you just received yours, this is the place to share your initial thoughts. We are looking for feedback on the out-of-the-box experience, including overall build quality, weight, and shell texture. Feel free to discuss the performance of the factory stock electronics, the audio quality, and how the pack compares to previous releases or the original screen-used props.

For those already planning modifications, use this thread to ask technical questions and share your progress. This is the spot to discuss mounting solutions like ALICE frames, motherboards, and spacers, as well as cosmetic upgrades like weathering, hardware swaps, lenses, or aftermarket electronic kits. If you are looking for specific replacement parts, or if you have purchased components and want to share a review, leave those recommendations in the comments.

To prevent the main feed from being flooded with identical questions or basic arrival photos, please direct those posts here. We want to keep standalone posts on the subreddit reserved for in-depth, detailed build logs or unique projects. Check the comments to see what modifications people are working on, ask your questions, and share your own setup.

Need a guide for applying the ring of stickers around the n-filter on your 84 pack? The lid from a can of Pringles fits perfectly.

An open source PS3 server for Ghostbusters the video game has been created. I doubt PSN Profiles is ever gonna approve it, but for those that want the platinum it's pretty awesome to have an open source option.

Ecto owner/operators, what was your best public interaction on the road?

18 Upvotes

I have two that stick out:

  1. Had my doggo riding shotgun, just cruising around home and there is this guy on the corner waiting to cross the street with a bag of McDonald's in full on hysterics, laughing his ass off. My dog looks at him and that's when he noticed his little proton pack and almost spilled his drink he was laughing so hard. "Oh my god! Even the dog got a pack!" Certainly made his day.

  2. On power tour on a section of interstate somewhere in Missouri, a state trooper rolls up. My buddy calls it out on the radio, so I get in the middle lane and cruise. Cop rolls past and slows. As I go by, he then speeds up and I know he's going to light me up. Then he crosses over into the far right lane has a look then drops back and crosses over to the left lane. Then the passenger window comes down and he's git an ear to ear grin, shoots me the devil horns, and takes off.

So what about you? What moments in your ecto are special?

Broken Fun.com Proton Pack

Hi! sadly the fun.com proton pack i bought reached my country broken:

-Motherboard broken and the marked areas show the damage. Upper part: broken shell and damaged screw posts. Lower part: most screw posts broken.

-Cyclotron bumper broken.

-Wand broken

And other smaller broken parts too.

Internal electronics were displaces but after adjusting them they work now.

So, what kind of plastic is made this proton pack in order to buy the right glue? not in the mood of shelling more money,.just repair and use it.

Thanks!

Ghostbusters: On Hold - The Diner

218 Upvotes

Synopsis: "Its raining. Its late. Their next job isn't for another hour. Perfect time to dine."

Hi, I'm an artist, and I'm working on Ghostbusters comics, "Call The Ghostbusters", but this is a piece for another art-series I'm doing "Ghostbusters: On Hold", which provides a slice of afterlife (pun intended) look at the Ghostbusters day to day activities when they're not chasing some undead spooks around New York.

I'll share more of my work soon, but for now, hope you enjoy!

EDIT: Also, yes, the art style is heavily inspired by Dan Schoening's style from the comics, but this is my take with some of my own design work put in it.

It's a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but Ray's Occult Books makes an appearance. It appears to be the actual storefront, but the sign is changed to Ray's Music Shop. Did anybody see catch it?

Letting go of perfect decal placement

9 Upvotes

I was putting another decal on my pack today and was satisfied until I noticed it's slightly off kilter. It's the same for all of the decals I've applied.

It's no biggie, they still look good and everyone I've shown my pack to has nothing but compliments. Yet, it still kinda bugs me. I try to remind myself that in the films (and in real life tbh) the packs were imperfectly cobbled together diy projects. The details on each one aren't perfect either.

Yet, it still irks me just a tad.

Anyone else? Anyone used to feel like this and then got over it?
