I'm hoping that spirit Halloween will eventually scale up the pack to be 100 % scaled. I mean they released a full-scale terror dog I think they can pull off a full-scale pack.
Now if they would make the Power Cell light's screen-accurate, add a button to just add the Proton Pack power-up sound and humming and add an extra fire button, i'd 100% get one despite me living in germany
Now lets hope to harold ramis himself that that ghost trap with a functioning pedal (by imagine, since they’re owned by spirit) can be sold at spirit halloween. I’m desperate for a properly functioning trap
You can grab them from Big Bad Toy Store: www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/99642 The image shows the old, handle push button but it is indeed the pedal action trap! I've bought from them two times, and they both arrive with the pedal. Then mod it with a proper breakaway cable 👍 imgur.com/gallery/elAP8Sr
I spent alot of money updating the pack, it still needs some updates, but this pack would have saved me a great deal of scratch. Can't wait to see one with the motherboard removed. Thanks for the review.
@@HossBlacksilver yup the magnet one is perfect is flexible and has a strong hold in place. Im waiting to see if the guy make one the size of the spengler wand.
I feel like these will be a great cheap option for fans to take apart and customize vs the screen accurate replica Hasbro one. That one while open to cosplaying feels more accurate as is and doesn’t need much in case of customizing.
mine seems to be the halfway inbetween. it has some changes but retains some of the old features, the ribbon is the newer version, while the wand and tube looks about the same as the older version
Just got one delivered while waiting on the haslab. I like it overall, but I wish it had a standby setting where only the pack lights came on with no wand lights and no audio. Pretty much just the cyclotron spinning lol 👻
I was already debating getting it for my halloween costume because most people will only see it when they see the back of my wheelchair, but it's going to get a lot of use as a new addition to my ghostbusters collection
I wonder if there's a way to slow the speed of the lights down, because I think I'd love to get one of these and disconnect the speaker and wand lights so I could have just the power cell and cyclotron lights running, and maybe some kind of resistor could slow the pack lights down.
Spirit Halloween really needs to fix their websites so it's accessible for customers outside of the USA. It bothers me so much they dont't ship internationally or that you can't even reach their website without a VPN.

How close to actual size is the new Spirit of Halloween pack? If it's pretty close, I have considered buying an Allis pack frame from an old ruck sack and making it more authentic. I'm curious to hear your comments.
Love this pack, managed to get a pre-order for it, the only thing I would like to do is remove the proton stream sounds, is there any way of doing that. but still having the lights?
I second your question, I recently modded my second gen version with the new blaster mod wand , kept spirit pack and lights , I accidentally during my mod pulled one light off everything still works , tho so I am wondering as well if you can cut the sound and keep the lights ,
The Haslab version is spot on for a mass produced version. That thing will be worth the investment. The weathering and out of the box ready to cosplay is going to be worth it if you are wanting to be the top ghostbuster! If you go into a Halloween party with the Hasbro 100 % head turner! (I’m not paid to say this) I just love Hasbro!
Except that was a limited run and this is mass available, so sigh. I would have saved up for the Hasbro at this point but it was already too late and I'm not paying double the price aftermarket.
I've been trying to find the best place for a pre-made pack, and I don't wanna wait for the afterlife pack in 2023 do you have a good suggestion, id get this one if it was bigger
My spirit never has these ghostbuster things and as always they are sold out on the website, so sick of never being able to buy anything anymore without having to jump through multiple hoops or pay secondary prices

@@GhostbustersNews already out of stock... hoping it comes back as being a ghostbuster is in my plans for Halloween this year. I did find a DIY option, but I'm uncertain that I'll have time. I don't feel comfortable buying it off Amazon as any option on there doesn't allow for returns for a proton pack.
I certainly hope both spirit and haslab has cut you all a checks for all the packs you've sold for them! I ordered mine while I wait for the haslab pack to get here.
Hey Jason quick question about this pack does the cyclotron cycle through at both idle, and engaging or is it just when fired? Really interested in this pack as I have last year's model, and I'm trying to mod it currently.
Now if only they would add 2 different power buttons: one to turn on the cyclotron cycle and one for the “fire” sequence
I just got one and I came on here to see if thier was a setting for that
@@ManicMK Stock/out of box no, but there are mod kits out there.
Seems like a missed opportunity
Lol that's what I just came here to check
I think they heard you😅
Kinda hoping this’ll be a trend with spirit gear, trap w/pedal etc
@@ddec20yahoo That was the Spirit Trap, just under their toy brand.
Spirit has a trap now but I don't like how it doesn't has the wire and foot pedal with it
@@RiversFiasco1982 The Wal*Mart one did, it's from the same company as Spirit.
@@Clay3613 yeah I would like to get it it used to be 20 I'm pretty sure but now it's like 40

I'm hoping that spirit Halloween will eventually scale up the pack to be 100 % scaled. I mean they released a full-scale terror dog I think they can pull off a full-scale pack.
What a prediction!! 😁
WE GOT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All they need to do now for next year is add the v hook instead of that peg and hole for the wand
The mod I'd like to see is a power button that turns and keeps the cyclotron going without activating the wand as a standby mode other than that WOW

@@kurisu7885 they was easy to find when they where first released but I haven't seen them in person anymore.
Props to them for these upgrades. They really didn't have to do these upgrades because the packs still sold. But they did. Nice
Hopefully they'll release a bigger one that's the same size as the movie packs
Anvonos owns the licensing to a full-scale pack.
Spirit or anyone else won't be able to release one for the near future.
We need a pack released by Hasbro to follow up their awesome Egon’s Neutrona Wand.
Yes! Hasbro take my money
Try looking at Target.
woooo! Happy Balloween. This is MUCH better!

YES FINALLY TY FOR REVIEWING IT JASON
I love that in your intros the guy in the background from Ghostbusters 1 is there
I think the magnetic wand holder could be a better option. I installed one on my original spirit halloween proton pack and works perfect.
Yeah, that was my biggest problem with the original trying to get the wand back on the pack while wearing it.
@@HossBlacksilver yup the magnet one is perfect is flexible and has a strong hold in place. Im waiting to see if the guy make one the size of the spengler wand.

You sold me. I'm getting this one. Great video!!!!!
Now this I may consider buying!! A much better product than the previous releases!
Big upgrades, I'm still missing the red cyclotron lights rotating while idle. I also need the turn on and turn off sound.
mine seems to be the halfway inbetween. it has some changes but retains some of the old features, the ribbon is the newer version, while the wand and tube looks about the same as the older version
The lenses on the cyclotron lights also look to be a lot clearer than the previously released pack
wish someone would just make a full size one with the same budget cutting measures of the spirit pack.
Agreed 1000%
i know, right?
You say you have a screen accurate pack? If so, have you ever done a video showing it? I'd love to see it.
Absolutely love it !!! Thank-You got mine today!!!
The original Ghostbusters movie used straps and pack frame from the military Alice pack. You should be able to find those at a surplus store.
Just got one delivered while waiting on the haslab. I like it overall, but I wish it had a standby setting where only the pack lights came on with no wand lights and no audio. Pretty much just the cyclotron spinning lol 👻
As a fan who’s loved Ghostbusters since I was 3, I love this thing.
would be nice if i could connect my spenglers neutrona wand to it
I was already debating getting it for my halloween costume because most people will only see it when they see the back of my wheelchair, but it's going to get a lot of use as a new addition to my ghostbusters collection
Update: I have it and i absolutely love it. It hooked up to my wheelchair without much issue and works perfectly
Definitely an upgrade, still waiting for a 1:1 replica, I'll be soooooo happy

Very HONEST review. Good work.
Jason, what don't you mod this pack by useing the hasbro proton blaster as the wand. i would love to see that video.
How awesome would it be if the Spirit Halloween come out with the slime blower pack from the movie sequel ghostbuster 2
The next upgrade the should do is , a way for the cyclotron & power bar lights to function independently w/o having to press the button on the wand.
Hopefully next upgrade will be the cycletron lights on without having to activate the wand.
I just got one for my son..... no really its his....
Im kinda impressed with their detail on it. Well done prop. much better than the previous year and glad I saved the money for this years offering. He's super excited. I'll rock my Spengler's Neutrona wand when it comes in
Are you able to have just the cyclotron and blue power indicator lite up without having the sounds going as well?
Great question. You cannot. There's only one button, which always plays the sounds.
You could probably open it up and disconnect the wires to the speaker.
@@GhostbustersNews thanks for the reply! I already preordered my pack and can’t wait to get it!

Sadly, no. Spirit blocks people outside of North America.
This year (2023)
Spirit has outdone themselves by being FULL SIZED W/correct lights and a V hook
Let’s go!
My grandmother buys my halloween costume most years and I'm hoping she'll buy my flight suit for next year while I save up for this proton pack!!

Very cool Jason!
I just got 1 today from spirt of Halloween store today its great it works I just had a while to find battery pack were to put battery's
the only way i'll buy another one, is if they make it full size.
