Sorry I’ve been away for a while. Work has kept me busy. If anyone is going to Spooky Empire/May-hem in FL I’ll be reviving my GB Luigi with a new suit and I’m working on a Poltergust 5000 for Luigi’s Mansion 2! 
Btw odiemodie, I love how you attached your straps!
Thanks, JayM! 
(speaking in Luigi’s accent): AY! Itsa nice to see you on this a hea forums, my pizano! 8)
Though, I could have used brown padded straps to make it more game/ screen accurate, but eh, this will have to do for now… again, I’m having too much fun wearing it… with or without my Luigi costume!
Oh yeah… that gathering on your side… wish I could make it to that one. So far, I’m the only Luigi here in Hawai’i who has a Boo-pack… feelin’ kinda alone, but… HEY! Thatsa what makes me also feelin’ kinda special too, eh? We have an Anime Convention coming up in March, the 16th thru the 18th called **KAWAII KON, ** so I won’t feel too out of place since Luigi is a gaming Anime character… I’ll be hanging out in the game rooms section at the Kon, should they have the original LUIGI’S MANSION game console on **XBOX **there! 
Here I am with my Completed Boo Buster Back Pack: the Poltergust 3000 at a photoshoot out in the country in the windward side of O’ahu in Hawai’i earlier this year in January… AY! Isa caughta bigg ghost wearing a bigg boot! :lol:
** MAMA MIA! Plumber vs. Trekkie! Which arsenal is more favored? A fed issued Star Trek 1st gen phaser, or a JACKED UP SUCK ANY GHOST AND YOUR EYES OUT BUTT KICKIN’ BOO-BUSTIN’ BACK PACK VAC?** 
**Boo! **Thought I post this pic up… it is me as Boo Buster Luigi with a youngster Sonic the Hedgehog at the AAFES PX for the Halloween Parade party on post, Schofield Barracks, Wahiawa, the island of O’ahu, Hawai’i. An event for and in support of the Military families and their kids who were home and some still on deployment. They asked for Anime characters, so from GBer to CPer was in order. Had a costume contest, a scary fun monster parade, a limbo contest, then a dance party afterwards, with yours truly pumpin’ out the tunes, both ipod/iphone and CD old school style!
**As you can see (well, what you can see), my P 3000/ BBP is externally complete, the only thing missing is a suitable “hook” for the vac wand… still trying to find a way to get it to neatly “stow” itself on the side of the pack without it falling or coming off.. Also, the strobe in the front vac port for the flashing lights effect is missing. but what made up for that was I used it as a candy holder and went around giving candies to the kiddies who were Trick or Treating to the various stores there on the mall. Some thought I was going to suck their hands off until they saw the candies in it…lol… And oh, yeah… “What’s up with the hair?” I was sporting as “Cool Luigi”… the one with longer, hipper, looking hair… just change from the “clear cut look” Luigi!
Hope all of you Ghostheads had a good, safe, and scary HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
And remember: KEEP ON BUSTIN’! **
did anyone build a Poltergust this year? here’s the one I made for my nephew, I bought a toy canister vacuum on ebay for the base, painted it, added foam trim details to the wheels, and to the hose and handle - it was a rush job that I worked on over the course of a week, it turned out pretty good I think
joeghostbuster: that’s totally AWESOME! That BBP looks kick ■■■■,
for something made in short order, like a week… Impressive!
Your nephew is lucky to have a uncle like you… a GHOSTBUSTER, at best!
Keep on Bustin’!
