I would love to get some of these. Are these still available?
I have a pile of Throwers but no complete Packs as yet. Once the New Jersey humidity calms down I will continue casting up kits. I’m putting up a list in the For Sale section later this week and will have your names on it along with a few others who have been asking about the Packs.
An Ecto Parts thread will also be put up in For Sale but not at this time, most likely mid September. However, if you really want Ecto parts, I will make some up at the time of your Pack order to save on shipping costs.
Shoot me a PM with what you wish and quantity.
BTW, Due to kabitzing on the part of joeghostbuster and madeinsocal6, there will be an “add on” option to the “Cartoon” Packs that I’m working on. It will work with the existing packs some of you already have, so nobody looses out ( I’m no Walter Peck). There will be pictures later this week.
Speaking of pictures, I’m still waiting for some of you to throw some up here. You know who you are. ![]()
Thanks Guys!
I did some painting this weekend, nothing award winning like Ive seen on here, and my paint markers kind of suck, but they dont look too bad. unfortunately I am currently without a camera, so I cant take any pics until I get one.
Hey, I just want to throw my name in there too, I know you are backed up but i would love to be on the waiting list. I want 6 of each (movie, cartoon) and 1 (maybe 2) ecto racks!!
Presenting a preliminary picture of proposed pieces for (Cartoon) Power Packs:
Now, ask some questions. I might even answer. .
I dont know what Im looking at, but Im sure its awesome nonetheless.
Those look good and would be awesome to the cartoon packs. Would they be hard to add to existing packs?
Let me see, top piece is the red cylinder on the left of the pack. Middle piece… no idea. Bottom is the yellow piece in the center of the pack. Those’re my guesses.
the Capt sent me a photo of the pieces attached to the pack, but Im not sure if Im supposed to share it or not…
Hate to say it, but I can’t recall what they were either. My brain went to mush from years ago.
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out.
Here’s a hint

(This is from an MMM build btw)
Nice hint, Vinny.
First and foremost, I blame this man.
He paid me a goodly price to paint his packs in the RGB series colors. The gauge area looked crappy being just a painted circle, so I added the gauge to his packs as you can see in this picture he posted. Even though he stole my blue lettering posting idea, I still count him as one of my friends. ![]()
The 2nd Joker in the deck is joeghostbuster. While working on his super secret Rookie Figure project (oops!) I found the perfect item to make the retaining rings for the “red” tank. Here are some udated pics of the parts on a Pack.
Yes this is a Kenner sized pack. My camera has crazy macro powers.
I didn’t want the guys who already have their packs to be left out (or ■■■■■■ off) so I have these items as an “upgrade kit” that can be added after the fact, no muss, no fuss. As there are no magnets or hoses involved, I should be able to offer these for the princely sum of $1.00 a kit. 1 kit being needed upgrading 1 Pack.
**This is great. I also had an idea of what it could be at first but didn’t quite have it right but now I see.
I will most certainly be picking 4 of these kits up to add to my packs, it’s very exciting and I realize just how much more awesome they will look. Thanks Capt for doing all this and I am truly happy I spent the money on your packs instead of the original ones on Ebay. These are truly the best packs for the RGB figures.
I also started doing the blue print b/c while reading your post it was easier for me to read and I thought it was great! I also bold mine b/c it makes it even easier, I’m pretty blind. Guess I’ll do green instead… ![]()
But I’m flattered to be called a friend. Thanks again for all your work.**
sick work Capt. are you just going to be offering kits, or will you make new molds with the added pieces built in? if you’re doing the latter as well I will buy 4 of them from you (after the “secret” Rookie figure project, which is going to blow us all away when its done!)
It all makes sense now!
Man, I keep forgetting to post the pics of my painted packs.
These are awesome!
I’m thinking about making a custom wand for my retro Venkman.
Edit:
Yes, I caved and bought a retro Venkman. I still don’t know how I feel about it. The pack is definitely wrong and the voice is terrible. But it’s a Ghostbusters item and it just goes to show that I will indeed buy anything as long as it’s GB related lol
No, I made them a retro-fit to go with the current “Cartoon” Packs as an add-on.
Just as kit as it now gives you a choice of styles. Besides, the red tank would still have to be a seperate piece and I’m trying to keep the mold making to a minimum. (Did you mean your “super secret” Rookie figure project or is there another?)
one in the same - it was “super secret” until you let it slip a few posts back, now its just “secret” since it hasnt really spread to the masses yet. once you make some more “head-way” (ba-dum-■■■) you should start a new thread showing the progress, so everyone will be jealous of me ![]()
you should start a new thread showing the progress, so everyone will be jealous of me
I can’t do that yet. I’m too busy digging myself in deeper with this kind of stuff…
Somebody please stop me. :twisted:
for THAT, you’re forgiven. DO WANT!!!
