I’d like to share with everyone my massive Real Ghostbusters costume undertaking! Made over the course of 7 MONTHS, from January to July 2011, I built enough equipment to arm five Real Ghostbusters (the fifth being Janine)! I used many screen shots from the series, as well as the production prop sheets included in the DVD special features as reference, and used the movie Pack guides posted on this website (thanks, guys!) as a basis for measurements. My buddies and I cosplayed as the Real Ghostbusters at Otakon 2011, and let me tell you, the response was AMAZING! Why the Real Ghostbusters? Well, it’s not as commonly seen as the movie Ghostbusters! Plus, I thought it fit into the theme of an anime convention nicely! And also, I had gotten the DVDs for Christmas and was inspired lol. So, without further ado, here are my Spectro-Visors! (In the series, they were referred to as Spectro-Visors, as opposed to Ecto-Goggles, but po-tay-tow, po-tah-tow)
