Brilliant. That rocks. 
“FUC*ING” awsome man
soo genius!!
Ooooooo! It looks pretty, pretty cool!
that is awesome! but is there any way to make the “pole” part clear?
Thanks guys!
This is just a proto type, so I’m looking for more suggestions like the one above.
As to the question, yes there is but the light will follow it down to theTrap. I’ve thought of re-making the trap larger and putting secondary LEDs inside of it.
if you cant make the pole clear, I think it would definitely help if there was an LED in the base, so light is coming out of the trap.
But I can make the pole clear, it would just glow when lit.
oh - you should try that then!
What if I tried for something more cone shaped, inverted, like this?
Yeah i like the cone shape idea
You could make the side edges in clear, going up and out the trap to about half way up the ghost’s body… Making a glowing cone shape.
Photoshop highlights FTW!!
One would’ve figured it be much easier to use actual spot lights than paint them on frame by frame.. Gotta love it! 
yeah I like the cone idea, if the LED in the trap was bright enough you probably wouldnt need one at the top
Very cool! I’m doing something similar with the slimer translucent statue.. he is about the right size for the 12" figures.
Very nice! As always, the fans are one step ahead of Mattel…
The amount of light would be diluted as it went up the cone and wounldn’t make the ghost really glow like it does with the LED up it’s butt. It would need at least one in the Ghost and one in the Trap.
Maybe 2 in the Trap, ready to go. One be white and the other one be a color changing LED to give it the illusion of motion?
Looking at the screen cap a little more, perhaps the wires to the Ghost could be hidden in the purple spark. Ring it right around the inside of the cone and right to the ghost’s hole.
Don’t know about the “step ahead” business, but we have filled in some of the gaps.
Hey Mattel! If you’re reading this, I could use a new job!
You could go the route Mattel took with the cone, the Lightning esc shapes you could use to disguise the the wires and the stand of the ghost because the shape might draw the eye’s attention away from the electrics. Like when your staring through a mesh fence, your eye focuses on the object through the fence (in this case the ghost).
Just a thought.
Quite true, and having the Ghost light up brighter than the cone would also help “draw the eye” away from the wires. I also have to see how thin a wire I can get away with using. it could possible be a set of bare wires as they would be encased in the clear resin. Any “electronic experts” have any thoughts on this?
