be a lot of fun to customize but I would not want that thing vanilla tbh

Yeah I�m already thinking of ways to use my miniatures paints to customize it to make it look more �realistic�.

My department is dressing up as Ghostbusters this Halloween so one of my coworkers will be sporting it (I�ll be rocking the Haslab pack and wand). I�ve also got a near-complete set of vintage Real Ghostbusters gear that some lucky coworkers will get to use in case the Haslab PKE meter and Ghost Trap don�t arrive before Halloween. I don�t intend to repaint the vintage stuff, I think it�s funnier if it�s grown adults sporting old kids� toys. :v:

Having 4 (5 if you count Janine, and you should) grown adults fully cosplay as the RGB characters is :kiss:

I got this on clearance at Walmart for

It is WAY better than I thought it would be. It’s got more sounds than the Haslab pack and wand (it even includes all 4 firing modes the Spengler wand has). It’s a very tactile experience like the Spengler wand because you press one button to turn it on and select your firing mode, then you extend the barrel (and cocking it one-handed like a shotgun to extend the barrel makes me feel like an enormous badass), then you hold down a different button to charge it (and it’s possible to overcharge it), and then you pull a trigger to fire. It’s got overheating and venting sounds, sounds of you zapping different ghosts, different colored lights all over the place, I genuinely feel like I ripped somebody off by getting this thing for $10. I’d have paid full retail without hesitation if I knew what it could do. I am seriously impressed.

Yeah this thing is pretty nice. I bought one for my daughter, and then bought another one for myself, to strip the electronics out of it for putting into my own proton pack wand. Still trying to figure out what I'll do for putting it in, but yeah the lights and sound effects are pretty nice.

It's really easy to remove the gray barrel extension part, which immediately gives the toy a more classic styled look, but the part does control that power up noise, so alas.
