I got an email from pulse saying the HasLab proton packs are shipping soon and to ensure that my shipping address was correct and locked in by January 1. GhostbustersNews also reported that some UK people have already received their proton packs. Looks like the US ones will start shipping in January. Iβm looking forward to it. Iβve waiting 38 years to have a legit proton pack. This is definitely a holy grail item, and I love that it makes both afterlife and 1984 sounds. So Iβm sure everyone who ordered got the same email, but just in case maybe somebody missed the email or it went to spam or whatever, if you backed the HasLab proton pack, just make sure your shipping address is correct by January 1. You donβt want this item going to the incorrect location! I wasn't expecting this so soon at all. Kind of exciting! I'm still on the fence about whether or not I keep this one or send it out in exchange for a fan made prop that looks a little more like it's made with metal parts and has a longer lighting life. I read that the pack stays powered up only for a couple of minutes then shuts down, which isn't a huge deal, but before this came I was planning on having a new prop made with some selected songs from the GB II soundtrack. I used to do the prop building myself but getting it from someone with resources is just so much easier. Either way when this comes in I'll probably see it and say ahh well, good enough haha

I'm hoping we see more figures around fall of next year. It seems like such a long time but I'm guessing we have a shot at getting a few more original movie figures in the lead up to the new movie. We still really need Janine and we could definitely get a Walter. Vigo and Janosz would both be good adds too. I think beyond Janine though, I want them to do some ghosts. A crowdfund Ecto-1 built around more figures is pretty much my hope at this point. Who knows how well this next movie will do and Hasbro isn't exactly crushing it right now financially.

We'll have to see, right? I think the Afterlife stuff was all well and good but the throwback versions Hasbro did left a lot to be desired so I've seen them shelfwarming here and there. So far only Diamond Select has really been able to get likenesses spot on but those figures were clunky and not really playable. I'm a sucker for the GB II blue jumpsuits so I would consider those but I can't see them even releasing those after how long the '84 versions have been around. Maybe via Haslabs, who knows.

I'm sure it's fine but you know how it goes i got the address confirmation emails, but no shipping notification from hasbro yet. but the info has shown up in the fedex app. hopefully it actually shows up saturday, but iβm guessing sometime next week

I just got an email that my proton pack shipped. FedEx tracking says signature required to deliver, so Iβm going to either have to take a day off from work or have my dad come over and sit at the house in order to get this damn thing lol
Says it will be here Tuesday.

Was pleasantly surprised to find the Fright Features re-releases at Target today. Thought they were Walmart exclusive.

Couple more pick ups for today. The blind box figures are quite a bit bigger than I expected. Iβll post some pics of what I got when I pop those open.

Results of the blind boxes: There are codes on the back of the boxes, not sure if it will hold up, but this is what I got. Hot dog Slimer: 32681 Melted mini Puft: 32781 Happy mini Puft: 32631 Angry mini Puft: 32631 Angry Slimer: 32711 My theory is that the happy and angry versions of the Puft and Slimer share the same codes because they share the same body just with a different head or face. Again, not sure if itβs true, but going to roll with that until Iβm proven wrong. Edit: So far my theory is somewhat blown up. Received another Happy Puft with a different code. But the others were still unique. Will have to keep trying to see for sure. Sβmores Puft: 32771 Stay Puft Slimer: 32651 Happy Puft: 32611

I hope the tie on that Egon is better than the original FF figure. I remember it breaking pretty quickly when I got him for Christmas as a kid. Years later, I found out on the internet that it wasn't just me.

OMG! Ghostbusters finally getting some love. Announced at C2E2, Mondo is taking on The Real Ghostbusters license. The thought of them doing 1:6 scale figures like their Animated X-Men & Batman has me going crazy. Canβt wait! I was hoping for Neca to pick it up and give it the TMNT treatment but Iβm much happier with this. Hell, hope they give us some ghosts in crazy sofubi colors to go with their Godzilla releases. Kong vs Godzilla vs Stay Puft? Hell yeah Iβm all in. In addition, looks like they will be doing Thundercats as well. Edit:
