Proton Pack 2023 from Spirit Halloween - Honest Review
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Here's the unboxing and my first impression of this full size, iconic Ghostbusters prop. Is it worth the $259 price tag, should you make you're own, let's see. This is an honest review, I paid for this prop with my own money.

I’m going to get mine tomorrow, from this video I can tell it’s worth it, it just sucks how after you stop the proton stream, it’s just an Insta stop instead of a power down sound. 6:48
Congrats! Almost done modding my 80%. Can’t wait to finish the series

Glad it was helpful! It's pretty good. I plan to do some mods to make it even better, stay tuned for that video coming in a week or so.
Personally I would upgrade the speaker, add a few lights as per the movies. Add a weighted motor and make the wand vibrate a little when you push the switch.

Josh, all great ideas. In the end I bought a HasLab Spengler wand since it addresses all the areas you mentioned above. Here's the video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nGmbuMpuXamoqKw.html
Upside down sticker on the wand is screen accurate to the Venkman wand.

Interest Stephen, thanks for sharing.
tons of great 3D printed mods available to upgrade that pack because the original smaller pack mods were easy to scale up to work on the full size pack. I would definitely put it on an ALICE frame, those straps are not great for sure.

Cool proton pack from the movies Ghostbusters
I got one so I didn't have to upgrade the Spengler pack. I have plans for this, including some printed parts and electronics, maybe an Arduino board and speakers. I got mine for 237, and I consider it worth it looking at the price for just a shell...

Yikes, I think the reason it's rattling is that when you lifted it up, the wand fell and broke on ya. It's not supposed to be that loose either. Since you're modding it, sounds like an easy fix though, and I'm glad the electronics were still intact.

@@MakeItorBreakItNow Looking forward! Sorry the wand broke a little! Again, should be an easy fix. Modding these packs are definitely fun. 🙂
my biggest letdown on this pack is the on/off. once you let go of the of the button the stream fx insta stop, no power down sound. i like how you edited the video to manipulate the power down sound when you release the button hahahaha.

The button is tricky for sure. Not sure why they didn't just the sound stay on like the Spengler wand...
Its the best pack made by any company for the price and the upgradeable parts are pretty cheap.

Gerald, totally agree, it would be hard to get to this level at this price even for a scratch build.

Do not order from Spirt. I ordered one on 8-6-23 and a week later had to call to even get the order processed. The charged me and created a shipping label, but 3 more days later Fedex does not have the package and when I called again they couldn’t tell me what is going on and that I could call back in 2 more business days if it doesn’t start tracking. I’m afraid I’m going to end up having to dispute the charge with my bank. Even if I eventually get mine I will NEVER purchase from Spirit again. Buyer beware!

That's even worse than my experience. I ordered mine back in June or July. They said they shipped it but it arrived two weeks late, looking like someone chunked it out a plane. It required some cosmetic maintenance. However, I have bought other items from Spirit with no problems. I guess some times they are better than others
