Inevitably waiting for Hasbro to finally start releasing some new gear around this pack. They've had a TON of time to prepare for it - I'm really doing to be disappointed if they stop at the pack or simply wait eons until the new movie actually comes out. The 84' Wand should be high on their priority list, especially since they can now design it to talk to the pack even better and send the sounds of the wand THROUGH the pack, unlike the Spengler wand. Fully expecting a trap and PKE with the taser mode in the near future...but I've never seen Hasbro be timely in the modern era - go figure.

Have you tried the rubber band trick with the Kenner Classics figures? I wanna buy some proton packs from that line for my original figures.

I would have to imagine it's a trap. Maybe they milk it and just do an cosmetic change to '84 pack. Either would still kind of be wins

Count me in for both! I need an array of traps and meters since I was silly and only bought one of each from Mattel… I would also be thrilled with a retro Kenner Trap.

I missed out on when Mattel was offering them hence my overzealous reply for both, heh. The Mattel ones I see on ebay look pretty rad. The prices not so much, lol.

Is this announcement going to be a Hasbro Pulse Premium exclusive? Just wondering if any of you are subscribing just in case.

I think it is just going to be an announcement for a new line of figures. They probably want to gear up and prep for the new movie next year and will announce a new wave for the Plasma Series. Nothing from the new movie, but a wave to get people back into the line, like from GB2 or possibly TRG. Kinda like they did when they released the first wave covering GB1 in 2020 before the revealing the Afterlife figures (which, of course, was dramatically pushed back).

I would be really surprised if it was a HasLab. I can't think of anything that would qualify for a HasLab that they couldn't release to the mass market like they did with the Spengler Wand.

Some GIJoe and Transformers stuff has begun to drop on their store and social pages, but still no GB. Yesterday's announcement was made around 4pm (EST), if that's any indication.

It won't be a Haslab but...
...Plasma Series 1:12 Ecto-1
...Slime Blower prop replica
...Plasma Series 1:12 Firehouse playset with separate containment unit basement
...big new stuff from the next movie

would make awesome Haslab projects! But anything smaller like a trap or PKE should of course be mass retail, like the neutrona wand.

They'll never make the Slime Blower.
The Proton Pack made sense because it's an iconic item lots of people would want, and the job of producing a full Proton Pack was made easier thanks to them releasing the Protn Gun separately.

On top of that, the size of the Slime Blower would also likely rule it out of consideration.

I bet it's gonna be another weird mashup. Like Barbie and Ghostbusters.

Oh God no. I like cross overs but i'm drawing the line on that one. Lol. TMNT and Ghostbusters makes sense, but Barbie? No spank you!

So, Hasbro just dropped their announcement for the announcement on Facebook. It's... cheesey as hell... the important thing is it ends with it saying that we'll find out what it is at the Hasbro Pulse 1027 event with the sounds of a PKE meter scanning.

I'm now 80% convinced we're getting a PKE meter.

Edit! Looks like it's on youtube now.

Also with that long shot that held on the firehouse and trap…. If they go big with a movie prop PKE, Kenner Trap and Firehouse and other items, I would say this is could be VERY big!!!
Sucks it’s just a tease for the actual reveal!
Ugh 2 more weeks….

Neat little skit but semi annoyed they teased us yesterday for....another tease today.

As much as a new PKE will be nice, I have a feeling something BIGGER is happening.

I think the shot at 1:35 with the big smile is as clear as it gets: Plasma PKE Meter and Trap, Firehouse playset . Everything else is more cryptic but figures from GB2 seem very likely.
