I believe they also built Proton Pack replicas and more. Vaguely from memory and a friendship around 16 years ago, their were also the guys from another early franchise, The Middle Tennessee Ghostbusters. And put their 1984 Proton Packs on-line during Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary. Within 5 months of Ghostbusters June premiere! Fortunately for ghostheads they documented the process. They built their Proton Pack replicas in 1984. Their were also Shawn Marshall and Bryan Ambacher. If You Have The Tools, You Got The Talent He was also in one of the earliest franchises. Norman Gagnon coined the infamous ghosthead term for fans of Ghostbusters. Norm’s plans still remain highly regarded. Because in part that’s who Norman is, he also made plans for the pack, wand, Ecto-Googles, Ghost Trap. Norman’s attention to details is still amazing. That’s where I found out Norman Gagnon built a Proton Pack (and more) from watching and pausing a Ghostbusters VHS tape. Bill Emkow The Ghostbusters Homepage had the go to Ghostbusters web site to go to when there was news and you wanted to converse with other ghostheads. The earliest spooky charging hq sites offered news and more. Peter Mosen had (at the time) all the equipment and ECTO-1s to boot! Having just a Ghostbusters uniform would have been a Ray Stantz animated wow moment. He was also in Ghostbusters II not getting through a dinner date on News Years Eve. i.e.: SDCC, ECTO-1 replica, birthday parties. You know (or knew) Peter Mosen in the 1980s because of his official association with Columbia Pictures and being one of the few official Ghostbusters outside the “Ghostbusters” cast.
EXTREME GHOSTBUSTERS PROTON PACK PDF
(Ghostbusters Firehouse) In the Fall 1990 issue, (Ecto-Containment PDF File) their was an article about Peter Mosen, the king of the Ghostbusters fans. Something I had sorta forgot anyone (outside production on the films) had even attempted until I joined the Ghostbusters on-line community during the early years.īefore I was around 19, I was a 13 year old reading The Real Ghostbusters Magazine. It had me thinking of early ghostheads who built a Proton Pack as early as 1984. I suppose we were fortunate enough to have a Neutrino Wand. Matty Collector also neither offered kits or a complete Proton Pack prop toy. Lights and sound kits to eventually come.
Like the Ghost Popper and Ecto-Popper the foam proton stream could be inserted into the front of the Nutrona Blaster. The Proton Pack’s Nutrona Blaster came with a long, flexible yellow foam proton stream. You could pretty much “operate” it the way The Real Ghostbusters did in an episode. The simpler design was probably to differentiate from Ghostbusters and saved time for the artists/animators. It still had enough details for the time that it might as well have been real.
EXTREME GHOSTBUSTERS PROTON PACK MOVIE
The Real Ghostbusters proton pack (like the P.K.E Meter) was different from its movie counterpart.
To make it up to kids they included a “no ghost” logo arm band and ID card. Another company did sell plastic/vinyl Real Ghostbusters costumes (Egon being most memorable) in the mid ‘80s and probably another company by 1989 did sell children’s Ghostbusters costumes.
Kenner didn’t make The Real Ghostbusters costumes. Speaking of which every boy who was on a The Real Ghostbusters toy box practically had movie quality costumes. Just wearing one made a kid part of The Real Ghostbusters team! You thought it was the uniform. I had a real wonderment about the ghosts in the movie and the equipment that caught them had almost magical qualities to me. If I thought the proton pack was really cool I couldn’t have imagined how happy Kenner was going to make me a mere few years later. By then we were beginning to learn more about how the proton pack worked and its features. I first saw Ghostbusters in theaters when I was six.
