No doubt, and we should reserve judgement until we get our slimey paws on it. But it didn't sound so lightweight and plasticy when Adam showcased the pre-production model a year ago. The "super high powered LED's" hardly seem bright - I was expecting substantial light beaming out of the trap when it's open, similar to in the movies. The rumble funtion looks weak - Adam had to tell us it's vibrating as the camera didn't pick it up. The volume seems quiet - hardly the imposing loud protests of ghost who is mad they've been captured. And the action of the traps doors hardly convinced me they could actually contain a ghost. It looks great for the cosplay side of the community considering how lightweight it appears, but personally I feel I've been somewhat mis-sold. Not a problem, however, as the resale value should be double what we paid, but I was expecting it to lean more towards prop replica than toy - as it did when Adam first showcased it and convinced me to jump onboard.
And the PKE meter. No. It's massive. The arms are chunky. The display doesn't look like it's from the 80's which is the nostagia I was hoping for. It's a cross over from all the movies I hear you scream. I know, I know, and we've yet to see how convincingly the arms work with the EMF feature. I know I'm hard to please, and after adjusting my expectations I'll perhaps be more happy, but after waiting for as long as we have, and then seeing what we're actually getting, right now I'm a bit disappointed. Glad the wait will soon be over though.
