Hey I might have come upon something.
Did anyone look at the back of the stay puft box.
Where it has the little comic book scene. ?
One they have that ugly fan made gb patch
Another thing I noticed was the last pic in the comic scene
Now I see 2 possible for the next prop
ecto goggles or even bigger the proton pack.
My hunch is that matty has 5 prototype packs made.
Look at the barrel tips the red tubing is consistant in all 5 packs
All packs have dixie hooks on them.
The red warning label on the mother board are in the same location on each.
Please look at the box and let me know what you guys think.
Next GB PROP

There's no reason that the comic should be taken as any sort of indication of what the next prop is going to be.
My hunch is that matty has 5 prototype packs made.
And I don't know how you managed to interpret this from the “comic” on the packaging. All it means is they hired five actors and had access to five prop replicas (most likely fan-built replicas, or alternately some of the Packs Sony's been using at San Diego Comic Con a few years back).
I think you're reading too much into it.

No they are not the same packs
They actually had v hooks, These had dixie hooks.
And some areas if you look carefully… In particular the power cell. It looks oversized.
Look at the gun ears on each wand.
Look at the gun track
Take a look and see what you think.
I know this is hard to tell. My hunch may be right.
It may be wrong
But from what I see it looks like the next prop can be either ecto goggles or a proton pack

I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that they would use the Stay Puft packaging to promote upcoming items in a subtle way.
They did so by adding The Rookie, and then announcing him as the Club Exclusive figure.
I still think that they'll release the Goggles, followed by the Proton Pack, and the points you made here could definitely lend some credence to that idea.
It just seems logical to me.

Then chances are, they're fan replicas.

I can't, I didn't purchase the Stay Puft figure, and what few shots of the packagng are online are “general” photos, you can't see any of the detail.
You're going to have to present a more convincing case that the packaging is some sort of subtle reference to the next planned prop, seeing as all the props there are what we'd be expecting the Ghostbusters to be carrying.

Sorry it was well worth the money.
Ill try and get a scan up of it.
Unless someone beats me to it.
********************************
They could be fan packs but then each back would be different.
These packs are consistant.

If the packaging of mattel's figures were hints to what figures or props were next, we should have had the terror dogs and gozer long ago. Along with a calculator, paper clips, etc from the desk. 
I think you may be reading too much into the packaging.

I am honestly of the opinion that, like Doctor Venkman mentioned, that the Goggles are more than the next logical step for prop release.

Yes, but you never needed the box art to tell you that, seeing as it was one of the options in their poll which after the PKE, and the Trap, will be the most realistic to produce and build.

Very true indeed. Common Sense is what you needed for that.
