Hawkins National Laboratory Archival Data Disk (2 Pack) – Stranger Things — Collectible Prop

Classified data doesn’t stay buried forever — An EpicIDs Exclusive!

Deep beneath the quiet streets of Hawkins sits a laboratory built on secrecy, government oversight, and experiments that were never meant to see the light of day. Hawkins National Laboratory catalogs its findings the old-fashioned way — magnetic media, strict labeling, and layers of denial.

This two-pack of archival data disks captures the analog realism of the Stranger Things universe, evoking the era of Cold War paranoia, blinking terminals, and locked filing cabinets. Whether displayed alongside lab credentials or used as a supporting prop, these disks feel pulled straight from a secured evidence drawer.

Each set is designed for immersive world-building and visual authenticity, making it a perfect companion piece for collectors who appreciate the quiet details that make a scene feel real.
