I heard it might be a codpiece.

you sure that's not part of their upcoming "A Clockwork Orange" exclusive props?

I'm hoping a trap...giga meter isn't that cool IMO, just a bulky less well known version of the PKE.

You can make that with $20.00 worth of stuff from Radio Shack.

It's a Twinkie!

That ghost sniffer peter uses would be nice too!

I'd like to see some RGB props

Yeah, like Ecto-2! That'd turn some heads on my way to work.

if not a full pack how about just a thrower? it could light up, make noise, have the tip pop up etc..

I'll wager 10,000! ghostbusters points it'll be Ecto-Goggles.

I really hope it wont be a giga meter.

"I know, let's make a toy out of a tool that's used in the second movie for about two minutes!"

Yeeeeaaahhh...

Some-Guy that's the same story for the PKE meter. It didn't get that much action in the first or second movie.

The PKE meter is one of the films iconic props. It's in fact the first real piece of Ghostbusting equipment we see when watching the film, and sets the tone for the 'scientific method' of ghost catching that's central to the films' concept. It made a big impression on audiences, and most people who've even a passing memory of Ghostbusters have an idea of what it is.

The giga meter is none of those things.

I'm thinking that.

prologic i completely agree

I hope it's a wearable Winston fro and stache

Lol!

When I was a kid I actually thought that Ray dropped it in the river of slime when he was hanging like a worm on a hook 100 feet below first avenue.

I'd still go for the Giga mainly because it's one of the rarest props like a movie-accurate PKE used to be. Well... When compared to the Trap or Goggles.

A sniffer would be cool though...

It's the blueprints for Dana's apartment complex. And they are very very strange.

I would buy this.

Doing the Giga Meter as a follow up to the PKE would be lame....I'd give in and buy it, but I don't want another another hand held ghost-scanning device right away, I personally want another type of device.

I think based on relative cost it will be the Ecto Goggles. It requires less electronics (you know they'd spruce them up a bit with some added lights etc, but would still require less than the PKE) and could be another "complete" prop a la the PKE. With a trap, you'd be running the risk of only getting the trap itself for a bit more money (than the PKE), OR for a lot more money the trap + pedal w/full functionality.

I don't think Mattel wants to cheat us, and therefore would not release something that does not have the most basic functions we are looking for (ie, opening trap doors)....which is why I don't think we'd ever see a proton pack, as it would cost way too much for the average consumer.

HOWEVER, we are only thinking movies here....I would gladly buy an RGB or video game version of the PKE etc (but still would prefer something new this round). That would be pretty cool to have (heck, a video game PKE would only take some basic retooling of the current mold)....

It'll be this.

Its some kind of a ray or a mind control device. Works in bars at the Holiday Inn in Paramus

I saw the prototype..... It's the coffee pot Vinz drinks out of in the Firehouse. It's not accurate though, they based it on the 1986 model Bunn coffee pot instead of the 1981 Grindmasters pot. Totally amateur.

i doubt its a pack im sure they would want to spend as much time on one as possible...so im thinking trap...would love a giga meter too. but whatever it is ill be ordering it as soon as its up for sale just like i did the pke

It could be a scale twinky to represent the peril that the ghostbusters were in!

I hope it's a PKE meter.

yes! a pke meter with lights and sounds and working wings! that also has the light patterns of both movies!
