Looks p decent! I’m glad there’s an option to get a cool proton pack. Maybe down the road I might pick it up. Spirit products come and go a lot of the time so there’s usually another chance to pick up a thing

I never picked up one of the 3/4th scale packs but I found a nerd who did

There's a direct comparison to the smaller pack and the Hasbro pack from last year near the end of the video.

Very cool. I guess I'll pass. I already have 2 of the 3/4 scale packs - one modded. I feel like they might be better for a drunk Halloween night out. Because I am not wearing the Haslab pack if I'm doing shots.

Spirit are sending out the packs on the cheap, and people are reporting they’re having to pay $50-150 extra postage costs to USPS.

I'd prefer they just let the "franchise" die. Ghostbusters II was a soulless beat-for-beat remake of the first movie.

Then Afterlife basically remade the first movie again, just with added nostalgia bait.

Making a good comedy sequel is like trying to draw blood from a stone. It can happen (Addams Family Values), but it's rare.

Why would he be a ghost? Did he have a heart-attack off screen or something? Anyway, the way he asks if the ghostbusters are cosmonauts (not astronauts!) is the kind of funny only the original film can be.

I'm genuinely shocked that he lived that long. Guy looked 65 way back then, but that's also the 80s effect where everyone looked older than they were.

I'm now older than all of the guys were in Ghostbusters 2, and they still seem like adults compared to me.

He was old in 1984. But really, I'm just trying to name all the worst possible references to the original film they could come up with.

I think 2016 is probably the worse movie but I disliked Afterlife a lot more. Felt like a fan film.

Hot dog vendor never financially recovered from those lost hotdogs that Slimer ate.

Bring in Adam Sandler to play the grizzly, old hot dog cart man.

I mostly say that because I thought it was Adam Sandler when I was a kid because anyone over 15 was "old" to me.

My idea for a Ghostbusters sequel would be just a two-hour long Always Sunny In Philadelphia episode where Frank buys the franchise from Winston.

Also do the car talk scene except it's Mac talking about the Book of Revelations.

I mean, Ghostbusters should move away from movies and become a tv show again and don't let anyone involved in production of the original have a say in the new direction.

Although, I guess that's how you get 2016.

Seriously though The Real Ghostbusters really did serve as like a horror primer for kids and it'd be great to see a show out there doing the same thing again. Like just in those first few seasons of Real Ghostbusters a kid would've experienced haunted houses, vampires, werewolves, poltergeists, trolls living under bridges, the Boogeyman, the Sandman, the concept of Samhain, genies, doorways to Hell, ghost pirates, the Bermuda Triangle, Ragnarok, gremlins, banshees, the Three Fates, Cthulhu and the Necronomicon, the Headless Horseman, and plenty of other stuff.

Worst thing about Extreme was their animation budget was seemingly the change in the couch cushions. It carried on the fine tradition of also being a horror primer, with Clive Barker and the great episode "Deadliners" off the top of my head.

The opening song remix slaps.
