MEGATHREAD: Hasbro Ghostbusters '84 Proton Pack
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.

Real Ghostbusters Proton Pack - Power/Wiring Completed
The battery box finally arrived in the mail, so I was able to finish wiring in the electronics. It now runs on eight AAA batteries in a embedded battery box for easy access.
I've misplaced the grills for the speakers intended for this pack, so it doesn't have sound yet.
I'm really glad I added an LED to the volt gauge as I really dig it lit up.
Had to add additional support to the mounting hardware due to a separation issue. So if I ever make another one of these, I'm gonna alter the files to have premade mounting holes.
I have yet to be able to wear this in public as every single attempt I've planned has fallen through this year.

Ghostbusters is credited with bringing the idiom "toast" into mainstream usage

It's a sign all right. We're going out of business.

Ectober
Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of "announcement" this month regarding the franchise? October is coming to a close quick, and I'm starting to feel like Sony and Ghost Crops "there's going to be announcement this month" announcements are getting old and just meant to try to keep us interested.

Who Ya Gonna Call? Someone Else...
The OG theme is absolutely untouchable but beyond Ray, who is your favorite take on the theme from Run DMC to Fallout Boy to Atarashii Gakko?

Not new to costuming but new to the idea of building a GB suit, got professional photos taken and had some fun with photoshop!

Since we’re doing “PSAs”…
(Yes, I know it should be “Neutrona Wand” or “Proton Blaster” or something like that, but I figured that the “straights” would more easily understand “Proton Gun”).

Neutrona wand hose
Hey everyone! I finally got a pack frame for my Hasbro pack and it feels so much better than just putting the straps on the pack. My question for yall is this. When I wear it, I put the wand on my belt. This leaves the hose to stick WAY out to the side. I'm going to a Halloween ball tomorrow and need ideas on how to secure the hose so I dont have to hold it tight to me the whole night. I tested the setup at a local bar Halloween party and everything else went well!

Active communities for Ghostbusters: The Video Game, online multiplayer Xbox 360?
Hey all! I just recently discovered that I have a copy of the Xbox 360 version of Ghostbusters the Video Game and that it still supports online multiplayer! Does anyone know of an active community that people use to coordinate matches? I've been playing on the weekends hoping people will randomly jump in, but it'd be nice to have an easier way to coordinate. Thanks!

Matte clear enamel
Will that take some of the shine off the 84 pack and not ruin it? I heard it doesn’t and what’s the best way to use it if so?

Ghostbusters Costume Help
I have been trying to see if anyone on any website was selling the spirit proton pack (specifically the $100 one) but I cannot find one under 80-100 dollars. If anyone knows where to look it would help!
