Here's how it works: First you flip on the power switch. The device features lights, sounds, and an extending barrel that flashes to simulate a proton stream. So, let's get to the Particle Thrower Neutrino Wand itself, shall we? It is a battery operated device and requires 3 AA batteries (sold separately, of course) in-order to work. There's a lot of play to be had here is what I guess I'm trying to say. Or if you wanted to do some live action Ghostbusters roleplay. You could also use it if you were putting on a Ghostbusters stage play. The weapon is presented in a 1:1 scale, so you could use it for play, display, or cosplay. The wand does have a metal bracket on it to attach it to a hypothetical Proton Pack release or a homemade Proton Pack, as well as a hole in the handle to attach a cord. While there were some noncommittal statements made about releasing a Proton Pack at one point, I just don't think it's going to happen. I hope it's obvious, but I'll reiterate that the Proton Pack itself is not included. I'm not sure where the term Neutrino Wand came from specifically, as I wasn't able to find any references to the term prior to Mattel announcing this release. It's normally depicted as being attached to their Proton Packs and is sometimes referred to as the Particle Thrower, Positron Collider, Proton Gun, Neutrona Wand, or Proton Blaster. The Neutrino Wand here is based on the primary weapon the Ghostbusters use. Deal? If that works for you, then join me after the break. I will give you my opinions as a toy collector and a lifelong Ghostbusters fan. Today, as I'm reviewing Mattel's Ghostbusters Neutrino Wand from their Epic Creations line, I'm not able to give you specific measurements and comparisons. While I'd love to get to that point someday, that's not me. Yes, while I know all of the tools the guys use and some of the little nitty gritty details, there are entire websites where Ghostheads sit around and study, compare, and build Ghostbusters props. I guess I have about every mark of Ghostbusters fandom there is except for being a prop expert. I randomly insert Ghostbusters lines into regular conversation. I've watched the commentary track for the film (something I rarely do). I've sat in a real Ecto-1 (it was signed by Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Ernie Hudson, and Dan Aykroyd). I have loved Ghostbusters ever since I saw it as a kid (even though parts of it terrified me). Ask me the next day and I'll tell you I prefer Raiders of the Lost Ark. If you ask me one day of the week, I'll tell you that my favorite movie is Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters and Raiders of the Lost Ark constantly battle for the title of my absolute favorite movie of all time.
