The engineering is nice. I hope Hasbro would do a 1984 version based off the majority of these parts.
I'm here from the future to tell you...it has indeed come true. I'm opening up mine today :)
I love the attention to detail and cannon. The fact that they added the functions introduced in the Ghostbusters Video game (which really was Ghostbusters 3) make being a fan all the more cohesive. Looking forward to the Afterlife movie. Love this franchise!
Fingers crossed for a trap prop line....because I'm not paying $1000 for a Matty one on Ebay lol
Just paint a Rubies one?
@@Clay3613 Got a Rubies one as well. Also have a BenofKent 3D printed one. Just don't have the know-how or tools to install all the servos and electronics into the BoK one.
The spirit Halloween one is pretty damn good. All I did was weather it. Might add a pedal.
I hope they do the rc trap
Dude its a freaking box. MAKE IT
I've been running around shouting "light em up, get em hard!" With this. The best gift I've received
Maybe Hasbro is “testing” waters with this wand. They also produce the Star Wars “Black Series”, which seems to sell really well. Maybe we’ll get a trap, goggles, PKE Meter and a pack.
Would LOVE this! Hasbro Pulse would be my display pieces, while Spirit version would be my “Stunt” props to take out of the house!
They put out a PKE meter and trap, not that you could find them. I know this is a old post, so maybe they weren't out yet.
There coming out with a pack watch the teasers
The pack is already up for backing. Went up 9 days ago, needed 7000 backers and last I checked it was already backed with almost 7300. The real thing is if we are gonna get the special backer goals cause one of them i think class 2, adds the cord to connect the wand to the pack which if you haven't seen the pack its hands down the best pack produced outright. I mean its fucking ridiculous and parts open up and come out its crazy
Well well well, here we are lol
I have the Hasbro one and absolutely love it! I wish they would also make an original version as well.
Oh man it looks like they hit it out of the park, especially at the price! HASBRO MAKE A PROTON PACK TO GO WITH IT!
Unless they are working on one that will work with the adapter on the handle....
It's coming.
@@LoganWood121
They must of heard you
Lol
I love how the prop team for GB Afterlife simultaneously downgraded, aged, and upgraded the wand all at the same time.
Great review. Totally gonna get it. It's not fair though IMO to compare the price because this is a MASS release product. Mattycollector was more limited and more of a specialty store type of thing, so it's understandable that this one would be cheaper as a ton more are being made for retail stores.
Yeah, but this one is way cooler in pretty much everyway
The Spengler wand is gonna be the ABSOLUTE BEST ONE but ONLY IF it gets backed past the class II special which gives it the cord to attach the wand to the pack and complete everything.
Love the new intro!!! Can't wait to buy one of these wands for myself!!
Thank you for doing the comparison! I haven’t found anyone else that’s done an in-depth comparison between the two collector wands... I missed out back in 2013 with the Matty Collector version.. but obviously it was well worth the wait as I’ve ordered this new one.. I’m very impressed! The sound effects (even the base ones compared directly) are far superior! The lighting effects, far superior! The additional features, the accuracy and attention to detail.. the list goes on! I can’t wait! I’ve never actually held a movie wand in my hands before...
must... order...one now!!!
add... to... cart!!!!!
tell my wife "I'm sorry..."
The 2013 Matty wand is pretty sturdy. I use it in my cosplay and it holds up well being active dozens of times during a three day convention period.
Wow! Was gonna pass on this since I have the Mattel version but seeing this in action and your review has changed my mind. Hasbro please make a trap too! It's the only prop I missed out on.
I modded the spirit wand as well when I dd the pack. It's still small, but looks 1000% better.
I want them to release an actual original wand. I don’t even care if it’s not any different from the afterlife one in any way besides the outer shell, I love the original wand so much more. Would’ve been even cooler if it came with replacement grips just to change the look.
100% about to comment on that right now haha
Got mine was absolutely blown away!!!! Begging Hasbro to keep doing more stuff!!!!!
Ya blew my damn mind, thanks for the comparison and the fact that it included all the stuff from the game was incredible.
With luck, they'll produce an original style (with the added effects from the game!), with the small details corrected like the missing button at some point, and a full sized pack that is ready to accept this wand at some point. It would be a perfect bridge for those of us who want something better than the Spirit pack and can't afford or don't want to buy and then build a full GBFans pack.
Yeah I had to end up selling my Matty wand. I was going to use it for my fiberglass pack, but it was getting so valuable on the market it felt kind of nuts to have it at the peril of public cons and events. Especially since it was replacing my handmade wand that broke into when my pack fell to the side while it was on the hook.
Gorgeous details, though I wish someone would make a proton pack and wand in the style of "the real ghostbusters' cartoon. So much color. :)
Great video! Maybe a follow up video answering mod-related questions - i.e. - is tape grip removable? / is brown handle grip removable?
If I could put those old school grips on the new thrower, it'd be perfect. I just prefer that old school 84 look
Dear God, how do I not own this already?! 😱 (Please make a Ghost Trap next, Hasbro. *Please.*)
I just got my Spengler Neutrona Wand. Eagerly waiting to get the Proton Pack.
I love the Hasbro one and I couldn’t get the Mattel one but if I can get this one it would be the best
Just ordered one of these this past weekend. Looking forward to playing with it when arrives this weekend.
Update: This is one of the most fun items that Hasbro has done since the got the license for Ghostbusters. I really like that the sounds from the 2009 video game were included, plus the level of detail is amazing. I also got a second Nutrona Wand to modify into the look from Ghostbusters (1984) and mount on my Spirit Halloween Proton Pack.
Hes the only one ive seen talked about the hook of the wand...cause in the films they hooked the wands to there belts a few times, one thing i wished they included in the 2009 video game
Thanks to your review I purchase one and I love it!! Right now is sold out in Hasbro Pulse web page.
I never got my chance to get the Matty Collectors wand. And it’s far too late to get one. I’m so glad that this one is the superior product. Can’t wait to get mine.
Awesome job on the review and comparison
There has to be a full scale Proton Pack from Hasbro.
And now there is! Or could be! Check out their crowdfunding Has Lab Proton Pack. It’s 399.99 and needs at least 7,000 backers to go into production
Your wish is granted!
Jason Reitman made a mistake in Afterlife. In the peactice shooting wand scene the order Phoebe uses is wrong, in fact in the scene the propmaster didn't even have a functioning bargraph for the prop. The Matty wand activate switch is actually the most accurate to GB1 and GB2.The Activate switch is staggered in the canon so the wand remembers if it is on or off when you turn on or off the main electric power (lower right toggle switch). The upper right toggle switch is just the bargraph and warning lights. The activate activates the cyclotron. If activate is already flipped (cyclotron set to active, then as soon as you turn on electrical power (using the right lower switch) will start the deep bass start up sound. If the activate switch was not on then hitting the lower right switch will just produce an alectric start up sound like the Matty and Hasbro wands.
Heck the Hasbro wand even fires without an extended barrel which the Matty wont. I have both and in terms of functionality the Matty is more realistic or in canon.
That 10x better than anything I had as a kid 😮
Pre ordered mine back in February I can't wait to finally get my hands on it. Great video BTW keep up the good work.
okay wow, the Video Game stuff got me, hell even the comics rarely mention the Prototype pack
Love the video and the comparison! Made up a drinking game for how many times you said "once again" XD
How were you even able to type after all that drinking?!
@@GhostbustersNews decided not to play my own game because the video was too darn good! Went back and watched the gaff tape mod and now I’m seriously considering tearing down my wand for modding. Love you guys and looking forward to more proton pack content soon :)
he forgot that on the mady collector wand you can cross the strems
And work in tandem with their other props. Also the data plug on the end.
Ok cobra warrior it is time to cross the streams av fun you cobra what ever you are!...
See my neutrona wand on my tiktok
I am a cobra Kai and footsoldier tmnt
Pulling the barrel back is what the trigger banjo is for. So you don't have to put your hand over the muzzle. That also explains why it's bent/been repaired.
I loved those proton packs because they're awesome
Looks like some real thought went into this piece. It's also amazing to see tasteful updates to a classic design. Very promising when it comes to the new film
Beautiful. It does show that the price has hiked up a little, to 124.99 at both Hasbro and Entertainment Earth. On Hasbro it looks like it's a pre-order, to release in December of 2022. On Entertainment Earth it shows an earlier release date of February 2022 (I wonder why EE is getting it 10 months earlier).
i love your videos and now i have my very own spenler nutrono wand
The turning on audio is so pleasant
When you showed how small the spirit won is I was like 🥲 oh.....ok then
I wonder how long the batteries last,..
i think i would try and 3d print the loom-adapter with an insert to pass trough some actual electrical wires and put a better PSU in the pack.
Seems fitting since it`s the pack that suplies the power in the movies.
I love ghostbusters the movies and the 80s cartoon
Have them both,still dig the Matty want way more
Great looking piece! Probably the only ugly part for me is the wires coming out near the front handle. Besides that I can't wait for this.
I’m excited bc I’m getting this tomorrow and Back in 2013 I watched video after video on the 2013 one and I wanted it soooo bad and then it skyrocketed in price and once I saw this vid on my notifications I was sooo excited and this is my 100th time watching this and I want to say thank u to hasbro for making another one and to Jason on ghostbusters news for a really really good review
nice comparison, i never got the matty wand so i got this hasbro spengler one for sure and i love it. its hard to compare though as others have said as its a mass product whereas matty was made in much smaller numbers i believe. its nice to see the differences though side by side. I got the pke meter and the ecto goggles from matty though and they are great to have too.
Spirit came out with a new wand
Also the firing sound sounds like a longer sample which is nice.
Would’ve been cool if you could mod it by easily removing the grips to pop on OG grips
Any reason when you stop blasting on the new gun there’s no winding down sound. Like on the Marty wand?
I was watching the first Ghostbusters movie and I noticed something. They don't use the green switch next to the intensity button to extend the barrel. During their battle with Gozer while holding the neutrino wand Peter says " Make em hard" they twist the front grip counter clockwise causing the barrel to extend. It happens real quick but I find it interesting that Mattel didn't incorporate this feature on their replica. Which leads me to believe that the Matty wand is based on Ghostbusters 2. I could be wrong but I thought I'd share my opinion.
Would love one! But man everyone having issues with pre sales, non shipping... way to long pre sales etc.. Sucks!
Just got mine; just waiting for the Proton pack.
Newsflash, the yellow lighting to the Afterlife wand is because back in the 80's it was very expensive to get L.E.D lighting as it was in its infancy. So the yellowish tint from old lighting is all they had to work with back then whicu is why its STILL has that yellow tint. That color is screen accurate. Im so excited to get my Spangler wand this Summer and start working on a light smoke mod on the end, and get my proton pack in 2023 when they ship and ik gonna mod that with a little smoke as well. Ill wire them up so when I press the button it will put the vape pen into a preheat so it will heat up smoke and when I release the button it will release smoke at the end. Im also gonna have smoke come out of my pack as an overheat and ill wore that to a button as well that I can press to release the overheat like in the game. So many people forget about the "3rd movie" which is the GAME. Edit: Im glad to see they added the overheat function and other parts from the game cause that legit makes my job both easier AND harder cause now ill have to wire and program something to release the smoke when it overheats. If im lucky ill be able to tap into their control
Just ordered this today. I can't wait to get it!
Ordered mine a few days ago and I am really looking forward. But I have another question - where can I buy this super dope shirt? It´s amazing!
MiddleofBeyond.com carries them + others!
Can’t wait to get it
Easily worth the money. On the 9th I plan on buying both the wand and pack.
Can’t wait for Spongeface /Ghostlab42 to release a kit to run this to back to my pack and have all the modes for lights available. In the mean time I am totally soldering an aux jack into the handle. Then I can mount a speaker in my pack and run an audio cable through the connector hose to it.
I hope you read this cause its in response to your article regarding the orange tip they just emailed people about. I ordered mine the same week the Haslabs pack released and on my haslabs account I still show a 6-1-2022 release date and have never received an email about the different tip so I think some people are still getting a silver tip while others will get an orange tip now
I got my shipment notification!!!
Warning rubies has released a new proton pack with an different ribbon cable and actual red cyclotron lights but the lights and sound are the same as spirit halloween
Awesome review, Jason. I just ordered mine from Hasbro Pulse. :)
you sealed the deal for me men, bought XDDDDD
This is a amazing comparison video great job Ghostbusters news 👍👍
Its dope that yours works, I got mine and it doesn't stay on.
JASON.. I LOVE that shirt friend!!!!! Hehehe... No, seriously, where do I get one??? Tell me... "TELL MEEEEE!!!!!"...🤣🤣 Quick question, Jay... How does the vibration compare in intensity between the Matty thrower & the new Hasbro thrower??? Finally... I must say... I'm EXTREMELY glad Hasbro went with the manual "push-back-in" for the barrel on this thrower... The barrel on my Matty thrower has completely bit the dust!!!!!! 😢😢
I picked it up, and I love every bit of it, (though the tape effect isn't that great). Except for Spirit Halloween, it is my first. Halloween one is suddenly trash. It is great for the price, but it is going up to $250. I got it for $150. I like how they included an adapter to connect it to the pack. I don't know what I would change if would.
He missed some features on the Matty wand like the stream crossing ability with another Matty wand and the audio jack in the back that can be connected to a sound board so you can use a proton pack with it
Just went to the movie. There's supposed to be both a button to shoot the end out (Peter says "make em hard") but the black handle twisted (in guessing too make sure it stays locked in). I wish i could attach the screen shots.
The button on the end changes the beam
Cool pack but if I have to choose between a pack faithful to the original movies and one faithful to the new movie where it's busted up I'm going to go with the original movies one.
If it sells well which I'm sure it will, we will very likely get 4 variant of this wand from each ghostbuster
My only complaints are that they should have used the correct leds for the power meter, the fabric wrap could have been real fabric and the banjo tips are too big. There’s a few other issues - but, for the price? Holy cow, great toy.
Ordered mine from Amazon after watching your last video!
Thank you so much for the comparison and greetings from Mexico! :D
ps: suscribed to your channel (n__n)/
Failed to mention that the "2013" wand had a power down noise when you stop firing, AND has a cross the streams gimmic when you move more than one near each other.
Wow thanks for the comparision those look awesome. So much details. Any recommendation for the best wand & proton pack set up for a toddler best for the money. Would you fork out the money for RGB 80s one or get the spirit one, I believe the Afterlife version for kids won't be out till next year. There are also some great lightweight builds out there that look great but I'd love to have lights and sound too. Thanks for any feed back and thanks for the information great video 👍😃
You don’t “NEED” to turn on the top left switch for it to fire, that just turns the lights on or off.
I hope they make a wand that looks more like the fully upgraded one from the video game. They already have the electronics, they just need to make the shell.
I want mine now. Next week is too long to wait
I'm going to de-Afterlife my wand and convert it to OG 1984.
Arriving any day. I think I'm gonna dirty up the barrel, gunk up the bright orange buttons, leave it in a dusty area of the garage for a month and then "find" it with my 3 year old just before his 4th birthday in October :D
Can you remove the fake rubber tape on the back handle? I'm thinking of replacing it with real tape
I hope Hasbro releases the original 84 wand along with the ones from the cartoons and maybe the 2016 movie for those who absolutely must have one. {Why they would want one is beyond me, because that movie was the screaming shits.}
Well, I’d want the 2016 pack, to turn it into a “positron pack” capable of stunning non-ethereal supernatural entities.
that green lever is the saftey
Also, what did you think that little charging handle hook thingy at the tip of the want was for? Looks? Nooooo, don't forget that the boys spent all their money in RnD rather than convenience.
I wish I had that
Always found it a bit odd that these wands (and ones built by people) always have the overheat effect in them, it was a reload game mechanic so you couldn't fire the blast stream constantly, yet people seem to always incorporate it. 🤨
I wish Spirit would make a full size pack. but its probably part of the agreement that they can't, so as not to compete with other people with the license.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks to me like the matty wand is almost the same size as the Hasbro Proton Blaster MOD.
Hey jason is it true that after a few seconds the proton blaster automatically shuts down and you have to turn it on again? And how long itll remain on when powered up?
Thanks :-)
Mine came yesterday, so much fun. Hasbro nailed it. I just bought another one.
The Halloween wand sounds like a toilet flush lol
Proton Pack n the Split!!!!
Now compare it to a kit build thrower. Would love to see how it sizes up next to something made by a prop maker.
I need this.. I want to get the spirit halloween pack and see if i can attach to this wand
