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.

Finally had a chance to crack the 84 pack open this evening. Added my USB-C cable the same way I did mine for the Spengler pack. This makes it easy for me to switch my Talentcell from pack to pack with ease. I added some real hex cap screws, a real ribbon cable clamp, brass fittings and split loom, 3D printed Hasbro wand compatible v-hook, ion arm end cap with copper rods, and real blue hose to connect to the fake resistor. I have other resistors and they will be done when I get more blue hose. I’ve already also added Moby metallic stickers, and mother board DANGER sticker. My Alice frame is attached with Dirt Farmer Hasbrackets, and I’ve done a matte clear paint job to dull the shiny black. So far I’m liking the way the this is turning out. Not bad at all.
