Ghostbusters, Ghost Trap & Pedal

replica movie prop

This licensed collectible version of the Ghostbusters' portable ghost capture and containment system doesn't boast the authentic vintage components found on the custom-made replica in my collection.  But what it lacks in screen-accurate detail, it makes up for with first rate electronic effects. 

In 'movie mode':

1. Flipping the power switch on activates the trap and pedal red LEDs and a power up sound.

2. Depressing the foot pedal snaps the doors open (fast and loud) and activates multicolor trap lights and 'ready' sound effects.

3. Depressing the foot pedal again begins the capture sequence, generating a bright blue-white trap light and additional sound effects, followed by the doors snapping shut, the yellow PKE LEDs sequencing to maximum confirming successful capture, and the red LEDs then slowly flashing indicating a spirit caught inside, while blue lights cycle under the closed lid accompanied by static electricity discharge sounds.

4. Although securely contained, the trapped ghost will remain angry, occasionally flashing white behind the closed doors and causing the unit to shake.

Alternatively, the replica can be set for 'prop mode', with electronics limited to the red indicator LEDs, opening/closing doors, white trap light, yellow PKE LEDs, and no sound or vibration effects.
