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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
