Description
Full-scale replica of the famous Ghostbusters Neutrona Wand (the front part of the Proton Pack), produced by Mattel in the Adult Collector / Movie Masters Epic Creations line. This is one of the most advanced and appreciated replicas of its time: it includes LED lights that change color (orange, red, yellow with strobe effect), original sounds sampled directly from the film (power up, vibration, proton stream, blast), moving parts (extendable/retractable tip, intensity regulator, functional switches), and a realistic “blasting” effect. Designed to connect to the Ghost Trap and Proton Pack, it runs on 3 AA batteries. It is more “premium” and faithful to the spirit of the original film than many subsequent versions.
Value for Ghostbusters fans
For a hardcore Ghostbusters fan, this replica has very high value, both emotionally and as a collectible:
- Quality of effects: It is still considered one of the best for lights and sounds today. The sounds are clean and faithful to the 1984 film, the lights are vivid, and the motorized vibration gives a very immersive feeling when you “fire.”
- Nostalgia and rarity: Released in 2013-2014 through Matty Collector (original price around $130-150), it is an “old school” piece from the Adult Collector line. Having been retired for over 10 years, it has become rare on the secondary market.
- Comparison with later versions: Many fans prefer it to the Hasbro Plasma Series because it has a more “classic 1984” feel, sounds more directly from the film, and a less “modern/toy-like” aesthetic. It is also often used for customizing or pairing with Haslab packs or home-made replicas.
