What’s the one mod you would do with this Proton Pack? For me I would replace the bracket that holds the wand with a strong magnetic plate so it’s easy to reattach the wand when wearing the pack. As it stands now it’s not really doable

I installed a mono aux out to a bluetooth speaker to improve the sound. Very easy mod to do. Just splice the wires to the pack's speaker wires.

The extra switch is there on the actual pack, so Hasbro included it. They also made it a functional switch for the tinkerers in the GB community to use for their own modds.

I think I prefer the "afterlife" mode as well. The lights spinning quickly makes it seem like the cyclotron is actually moving and gives the lights a purpose. The original pack from 84 just had slowly blinking lights that didn't seem to serve a purpose. I hope they release another version of the pack made to look brand new and based entirely on the original pack, along with an 84 version of the wand.

Downside is the hook doesn’t work well if you are trying to slot it back in when wearing the pack.something magnetic might have been a better option

@Geek Culture if they did something magnetic then it wouldn't make for a very good replica. The prop connects using a similar setup. It is hard to put back on while wearing the pack though.

Recharagble batteries are highly flawed. Because each time that you charge them up then the less voltage output that you'll get from them because their rechargable batteries

For anybody looking for a cool way to display this okay you can get in Alice lc1 harness to connect it to off Amazon for about $60 and then you can get a mannequin a full size display mannequin from Amazon again for another $60 and then you dress the mannequin up in your cosplay uniform and put the proton pack on it if you are unhappy with the stand I quite frankly think the stand is great for what it is which is a f****** stand
@GeekCulture Жыл бұрын
The stand is not even close to the build quality of the Proton Pack and when you handle it you will know what I we mean. It’s the only thing in this set minus the Marshmallow goo attachments that feels out of place
