Proton Packs • Rebuild of the dreaded 2023 Halloweencostumes.com pack

Here is a 2023 halloweencostumes.com pack that I just finished rebuilding.

You remember the pack. Sticker instead of powercell lights. SLO BOL decal on the wand. Molded in bumper...

I basically ripped this thing apart and rebuilt it.

Here is the pack now:














Here it is at the start of the build:






The Powercell sticker. Yeah. That was pretty bad.



The bodywork was extensive. These packs are made of heavy flexible vinyl type material, so I used auto body filler used for plastic car bumpers. I added lot of lights. A bluetooth speaker. ALICE frame. Hasbro 1984 wand with a keep alive kit.

I had to make some of the aluminum and copper parts myself because this pack is oversized. I'd say it's probably 110% scale.

Everything, including the wand is powered by 12 volt batteries. It will run for days on a single charge, even with the rumble feature running all the time.

I really like the end result.

I know it is not "screen accurate". I restore cars and build hot rods. That was how I tackled this project. This is my "Hot rod" proton pack.
