I’m all ready for Halloween this year. Hopefully next year I’ll add a [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack).

Practically everything is from vendors on eBay. This costume represents the outfit I’d choose to wear if I was a Ghostbuster. I wanted the black elbow pads to match the belt, boots, under shirt and binnie. The walkie-talkie is modern for a reason, and I like the chunky [PKE Meter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-pke-meter).

awesome! Though, your [name tag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch) seems to be a bit too far to the side.. your pack straps will cover it!

Ha! You’re right. I never noticed that before. I’ll just have to move it when I finally get one.

Believe it or not, but the flightsuit is one of captainamerica’s. I really like the color. It’s a very nice toupe.

i knew it was a cap america the very second i saw the picture.

the improper color and badly-placed [nametag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch) are dead giveaways.

Rothco has the more rounded zipper pulls where the Fox has more squared/pointed zippers.

Actually, I really like how it looks. Just reposition the [name tag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch), and get rid of the walkie.

I think it all looks great, the modern yellow walkie even goes with the Lifegard. The black elbow pads go great with the belt too. And I really love your PKE and [Ecto Goggles](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-ecto-goggles) 😃

Well, I just received my [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack). The shoulder straps surprisingly do not cover the [nametag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch). I tried to move it, but there’s quite a bit of glue residue, so I’ll keep it where it is for now. Next spring I’ll be getting a G&B custome flightsuit anyway. I’ll post some pics of the complete outfit as soon as my wife gets back from her conference in a few days.

It’s done, at least until I get a new flightsuit next spring. Can’t wait until Halloween!
