I dig it. Good choice of cardboard tube, looks like it’ll be very durable. I was using a toilet paper roll when I built one in my bathroom last night, but it fell apart when I was playing with it in the shower this morning.
rookie mistake. we’ve all been there!
oh, and I forgot to mention, like the cardboard tube - those aren’t ordinary drinking straws. they are from old squirt bottles, and very thick… I guess all my tubes are extra thick.
Shouldn’t this be in the for sale section if you are doing a run of them?
And what’s a Mootsie’s Tootsie?
I’m hoping to have AJ feature them in the shop…but let’s keep it hush hush for now.
Not enough tape, not screen accurate :sigh: . I bet Matty could do it better.
But that would undercut the hard working accurate prop fans like EU, who have spent a lot of time and in some cases money researching quality items like this.
Stop it Uni…When Mattel see this they’ll think there’s no need to provide a PKE when you’re pullingo out all the stops to make one this cool!!!
here’s how I see it. We all know that Mattel has its spies in this community gathering “intel”. When they see my pke, they will naturally, and understandably feel threatened. This in turn will inspire them to create a better product.
what have we learned?
Enchanted Unicorn’s PKE meter **is **what’s directly responsible for Mattel making it’s awesome pke meter.
can I get a QFT out there?
QFT
What’s the inner diameter of the cardboard tubing?? I need mine to be accurate!
Would this be durable enough to last during dragoncon?
what’s diameter mean?
what do you plan on doing with it? But yes you know I always stand for quality and accuracy, G-man! In fact, I may just film myself backing over the thing with the car just to demonstrate it’s strength.
I should be painting this soon. Is it silver or black or what? I don’t know much about the real ghostbusters pke.
It never existed, so it was never any real color. Technically it was dark blue and light blue.. LOL!
there’s something wrong with your picture…it looks nothing like my accurate pke. And thx for the color info, it helps to know that little tidbit, or nugget, if you will, of knowledge..
When you’re done with this, you should put it up on ebay!
Hmmm… Ghostguy, have you been sharing your build tips with EU?? I detect a slight similiarity in builds…
No, but I noticed the same thing! I drink that same sweet tea and then here he’s gone and used a cap from one on his build. And I have those same cardboard tubes in all my toilet paper and paper napkin rolls. Very suspicious!
I sent leonardo decaprio to steal your secrets while you dream. How else would I have known that the cap from a simply orange juice container was identical to the side knob of the pke? Call me busted.
Maybe we can go into business together, split the profits 80-20?
I just sold my GK shell and Hyperdyne kit. Can I buy yours for a good price, or is it too much of a museum piece?
Score! I just nabbed some Mootsie Tootsies on eBay. The PKE SHALL LIVE ON!
