Welcome aboard, SPH!

When it comes to tips for buying, the Feedback Forum is worth a read. As is the Blacklisted Sellers List, so you know who to avoid buying from, and why.

Hope they help you narrow down your search.

What’s your budget? Do you want full size, hyper accuracy etc. There’s a few options for Brits…

1. The ~80% scale Spirit pack. Plenty of these around especially now they released a larger 1:1 pack. Easy to mod, wand is very small though so you’d probably want to upgrade that to either a repainted Hasbro “mod” wand, a 3D printed wand or a Spengler wand.


2. The 1:1 scale Spirit pack… I’ll be honest we’re not likely to see any of these this side of the pond any time soon.


3. The HasLabs proton pack. If you don’t mind paying over the original retail price then it’s a fantastic product out the box. They were a limited production run though and you will not be able to buy new (unless zavvi find anymore in the back of a warehouse). Doesn’t come with a wand so you’ll need a Spengler wand (still on sale).


4. 3D printed. Use the files for v4 of the “q-pack”. Be prepared to wait hours and hours for some parts to print with many more hours filling and sanding.


5. Kit build. Ben of Kent for example, also Epic Props and a few others. Several uk workshops sell kits made from resin cast or fibreglass parts.


6. Premade by someone else like Blind Wolf. Expensive… very. But probably the only way if you don’t want to do anything yourself.


7. Make your own out of foam, cardboard etc. there are some fairly details (although not screen accurate by todays standards) plans on the gbfans wiki. Here’s a photo of mine.


8. Make one out of junk… like literal junk. Stick a middle finger to the gate keeping elitists. It’s still a proton pack to me!
