The Real Ghostbusters 1984 Kenner Proton Pack

[@DaveCurrieDesigns]

This is pretty much what I was imagining when playing with the originals back in the 80's! Amazing work and an awesome gift for your kid 👍

[@KieranMeadows]

Thank you Dave that's very thoughtful and I'm glad you enjoyed the build. Haha yeah I remember asking my dad why I couldn't shoot lightening (I didn't know what lasers were at the age of 5) out the end of the barrel and find ghosts? :) so my folkes arranged a birthday party where all my friends dressed up as ghosts instead. I kept that pack for 30 years, every house move it stayed with me. I'm happy to know so many people had the same experience back in the 80s and it's wonderful to hear your thoughts. All the best to you

[@harrycollins3248]

This is the the toy Proton Pack we deserved.

[@RtBuccos]

Very neat Idea.

[@TheRetroShed]

Amazing, beautiful work you've done there. Could you imagine having that when you were 5? I always wanted a Proton Pack from 12 years old (back in 1984 when I saw GB for the first time). Got one now, but its been a long wait.

[@Jay-01a]

Amazing work buddy!

[@raynekraven]

If I had one of those as a kid I would have gone berserk! This is an awesome build and a lot of work/love went into this! I wish I could build in a laser pointer in my spengler wand! Great work!

[@frankbizzoco1954]

This completely blew my mind! I wish I was that talented to build such a thing. I still have my childhood proton pack. Although it doesn't exactly fit anymore lol. I remember throwing it off my back because it was going to "overheat" and explode lol. I think that only happened once in the cartoon that I can remember. The green laser reminds me replacing the yellow foam "stream" with the green squiggly stream that came with another kenner GB toy. Forgot what it was called. Very awesome build, I enjoyed watching it come together.

[@chrismc410]

I still have mine from over 30 years ago

[@AShogunNamedDavid]

Absolutely fantastic, my guy.

[@chrisrunyon2372]

Incredible

[@EternalRoman]

Wow, to restore and improve on your childhood toy with such passion, dedication and outright ingenuity is purely a treasure to watch and I can imagine to still have. Those emotions that were given to you in your childhood are kept alive with this demonstration of love. Awesome job!

[@KieranMeadows]

That is such a kind comment thank you for that, i'm thrilled you and others got that tone from this project, it's exactly why I wanted to do it :) It just means a great deal to hear it from others who have something similar to relate to. I sincerely appreciate the feedback and wish you the very best

[@EternalRoman]

@@KieranMeadows It is my pleasure, I indeed can relate and as well am sentimental about my childhood toys, and as such I too try to either improve or preserve them as much as I can, though not as masterfully as you. This world would be a better place if everyone would hold to such precious clean memories of innocence and feed from them and to the world in general. You seem to be a great individual and I hope others are able to absorb your awesomeness to spread it around to make a better life. Keep it up and keep on making great stuff :)

[@humbertocroce1424]

A Great and awesome work, so cool to have a Real Ghostbuster proton pack, I remember not missing a single episode or can't Remember, I Was to young to keep track of them, Blessings Bro!..

[@clayscustoms2050]

Above and beyond, good sir. Fantastic work, keep it up

[@KieranMeadows]

Ahh nice buddy i appreciate the kind words and support. Very best to you

[@Lorenzo-fw3gx]

WOW. way to pay homage to the original Kenner pack. Awesome Job!!!! 🙌

[@PeaceLoveAndGuns]

Wow, this is absolutely glorious work.

[@PeaceLoveAndGuns]

Looks like you got bots... They've been hitting my channel pretty hard....

[@doriangreen3231]

This is both incredibly awesome and soul-crushing. It's incredibly awesome because this is the best _Real Ghostbusters_ proton pack I've ever seen. It's soul-crushing because I have two of those '80s toy proton packs and there's no way I'll ever be able to make them into anything even a fraction as cool as this.

[@KieranMeadows]

That's really kind to say and I appreciate the support. It looks far more complicated that it is for sure, if you wanted any help I'm always happy to answer questions if you're looking to build something like this. It does require some basic electronics tools but Adafruit have some great cheap products to make the lights and sounds with step by step tutorials that pointed me in the right direction. I'll share all that info if you're interested. Send a wee message on www.kieranmeadows.co.uk and I'll keep in touch.

[@SidStrife]

I wouldn't be able to modify or change my original pack from when I was a kid. I want to keep it the way I remember it.i would just make a whole new pack from scratch rather than alter something that is irreplaceable.

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

2 yrs later i still love this build.

[@smokinsaiyan]

This is BOSS ASF!!!!!❤

[@MadMansCosplay]

Dude, that’s amazing!

[@salvatoremaniscalco]

What a fantastic job... i remember when i was kid dreaming one of that and still havent got

[@KieranMeadows]

Me to :) just takes the time to learn, I'd never used any electronics before this project. But check out Adafruits website - learn.adafruit.com/ lots of cool projects to get started with

[@sullyboy1974]

This is one awesome build, take a bow my friend.

[@KieranMeadows]

That's very kind, I appreciate the support. All the best

[@sharpshotefx]

I cannot describe how happy it makes me that you actually made it shoot lasers.

[@lilPopper]

Restoration? DUDE THIS IS AN ENHANCEMENT!!! AMAZING JOB!!!! I hope you rock this pack when Ghostbusters Afterlife is released to the public.

[@primeval124]

Cool

[@EstonianBerserker]

This would be EPIC for my 40th Birthday this July. I still have my Proton Pack too!

[@stickyfingersAR]

Awesome! The wand is incredible!

[@wyldelf2685]

I salute you good sir on this amazing and nostalgic UPGRADE build , , always loved that damn cartoon, , some of the episodes could be screenplays for full on movies themselves , good ones that would've been more entertaining than "GB-Afterlife" , sheesh , , ,yes very certain "EGON RAMIS" would be proud of how well you did this , , , so we'll done , ,makes me jealous 😋 all you need to do now is get your buddies together and craft an old motorcycle to look as close as possible to that Mini-Helicopter ECTO-2 , , , ,👍👍👽

[@daniellaird1075]

Take a bow! That, sir, is a thing of beauty. My old kenner pack has seen a lot of play over the years, 1st with me, then with my son, so it's seen better days. I wish I had the skills to do what you've done.

[@KieranMeadows]

It takes a lot of time yeah, but it always seems more complicated until you know how. If you have questions about the electronics and how it operates just send an email with a question and I'll help out

[@Justrandomvideos-2023]

If they sold those at the store I would have bought one 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bloodtearssweat1373]

This looks amazing, really, congratulations on such an amazing work of art.

[@SP8inc]

I loved how the lights flashed when you fired, it looks so amazing.

[@KieranMeadows]

Legend, cheers for the encouragement! All the best

[@jubalate]

Awesome build! And thank you for reminding me of that SUN track! YES!!!!!

[@KieranMeadows]

Nice one buddy :) yeah it's a corker! Tunes from easier times eh. All the best to you man

[@justinwilburn2942]

That is extremely creative!!!!!

[@comoyoko]

Dear Kieran, every day I wake up and look at a new proton pack - this has got to be the best one I’ve seen so far. The creativity is mind blowing - so how is it you only have so few subscribers!? I subbed anyway! Jim

[@KieranMeadows]

Apologies for the late reply James, I missed this one but wanted to let you know that I greatly appreciate the support and thrilled you guys are enjoying these kind of projects. Keeps me going through those late nights. Thank you again and I wish you the very best!

[@jch00lig4n]

Dude! This thing is SICK!!! It's like a hybrid RGB/GCU pack. Love it man!

[@war2bird]

Splendid job 👻🚫😎

[@XeroCool420]

Im jealous. This is exactly what I always wanted/imagined my toy as a kid to be like lol. Same with the P.K.E meter and Ghost trap etc. I was fortunate at the time to have it all back then. Luckily I grabbed a Haslabs pack and wand and am thinking about grabbing another set or 2 to possibly resell.

[@codyt821]

Scalper, huh? How about you just buy one and don't deprive someone else of being able to because you want to scalp one for a ridiculous price. C'mon man

[@KYPT0KNIGHT]

This is amazing!

[@alexsutton8025]

This is incredible! What an amazing way to mod the Kenner toy into a full-scale RGB pack. Definitely my favorite custom Proton Pack. Great work!

[@SuperheroMovieReactor]

Took Me Back in the 80's because that Proton Pack Toy was giving me by my Parents I think around Christmas Time. But I lost it Somehow in a Storage. :( But Anyway, Great Job Updating. I would like to have one for Halloween Because I'm Planning to wear one for This Year.

[@KieranMeadows]

So glad to hear that man :) that toy meant a lot to me when I was a kid, it's nice to add something back to it 30 years later. Appreciate the comments! Best to you

[@bloodtearssweat1373]

Your lucky Superhero Movie Reactor, I grew up in a huge family, 6 of us, because money was tight, we were never able to afford these. I had to live through my friends who had them.

[@inkanimations5115]

Love the laser thing u pit on it great effect

[@Justrandomvideos-2023]

Who knew going from childhood with something cool to adults to make that cool toy into a better masterpiece 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lordteabelly]

Wow, just..wow, amazing job mate. Damn, id send you my old kenner back to mod if it looked like that, id commision it in a heartbeat!..incredible work. I love how you took the kenner original and built around it.

[@nononsensereviews6349]

I'm in absolute awe at this. You've also made me hate myself. If I was capable of doing even a quarter of things you did in that video I'd be over the moon. My best creative achievement is making a smaller box out of a bigger cardboard box for something I sold on eBay. Anyway. Incredible job. You're so skilled!

[@KieranMeadows]

That's very kind of you :) I'm glad you got some enjoyment out of the video and appreciate the support. All the best for the new year!

[@KieranMeadows]

@Tyco Zer0 Hey there, yeah so it's just EVA foam coated with body filler and sanded down. Some other parts were 3D printed but they could just as easily be done in foam for sure. But it's not going to be 'rock hard' you know, it's still foam underneath. The laser is just one of those cheap ebay laser pointers that are advertised as 'burning' lasers you know the ones. Just search something like 10000m 5mw High Power Military 303 Laser Adjustable Focal Length Green Burning Laser Pointers - its this one if the image links works images.app.goo.gl/eUpK4AB18VZPYGZK9

[@KieranMeadows]

@Tyco Zer0 good for you! :) ask any questions you want or contact me direct through website, im happy to help. Yes I know what you mean about the loom tubes, bit stiff. So I use a yellow gardening hose, its thinner for sure but still not super flexible, seems to do the trick though maybe 3/4" thick yellow hose - images.app.goo.gl/Z1ruNcd9VEPry1xA9

[@KieranMeadows]

@Tyco Zer0 I'm not certain what PowerPoint laser is, like just a simple pointer laser? It really want to be one of those high power long distance lasers that are advertised with it lighting a match stick. The cheap ones just dont show up bright enough. Plus I found green showed up better than blue lasers on camera.

[@jcarret26]

That's an awesome proton pack. man good job.👍

[@tadeuferreira4059]

The best PP I've seen! The green laser at the end was a MONSTER detail! What kind of lights do you use for this?

[@KieranMeadows]

Nice one buddy! I used one of those cheap military laser pointers off eBay, the ones that can light a match. The green shows up really bright and goes a long distance. Thanks for the support! All the best to you

[@tadeuferreira4059]

@@KieranMeadows, I'm planning on doing those kind of wwapons and also action figures, the world of DIY cfrafting is amazing, not only it's cheaper than real toys but also you make what you want!

Thanks for those kind words, I'm with you there, it's the exact reason for wanting to build it and I'm so glad the you guys get a kick outta this to. Hey if you have one of these old packs, I'm happy to help anyone make one to. Very best to you!

That’s cool

[@jaycebee6857]

Green laser I never thought of that

[@KieranMeadows]

Next we need a little pivot mechanism in the barrel to attached 3 lasers, so when you moved it around they all tilt and jiggle about, a bit like the effect from the movie. Or diodes on springs perhaps. Another day :)

[@vincefransen2279]

Nice one!

[@KieranMeadows]

Thank you very much

Shouldn’t be called restore. Should be called mod. Hahaha. Awesome mod. Best i have seen yet. Especially the stream. I want to do that to mine.

[@KieranMeadows]

Ahh haha that's nice thank you :) yeah I remember being disappointed as a kid that it didnt fire a laser. 30 some years later I got my way in the end! It could be better though, needs like 3 spinning lasers so it gives the wobble effect the movie proton beams do you know? Cheers and the very best

[@HackerBilly13]

Hey! I tried to reach out with your website but it couldn't send the email. I was wanting to build a similar pack to yours recently with combining the Kenner Style with TRG pack. Though for most of mine will be from scratch. I was wondering though if you had uploaded or would be willing to share the files on the parts you used on the cyclotron as that was one of the parts I was wanting to recreate and I love the design you did which matched the Kenner pack design perfectly. I know its been quite a long time since you made the pack so if you no longer have those files. I completely understand. I just absolutely loved the design!

[@pimpampum1794]

What model is the laser??? Thanks!!

[@darckael]

[@Lempo.Geisterjäger]

Hey, awesome work and truly inspiring... Any chance that you can send me the data for the parts that need to be printed?or can I find them on thingiverse? Because I also have this Kenner pack and now you inspired me to mod it, would have never thought of it as using it as a base for a bigger pack. Greetings from Germany

[@KieranMeadows]

Sure there is a project write up on my site www.kieranmeadows.co.uk but I'm also happy to answer questions you have, send an email for sure

[@BLINK-n8n]

Wow You are amazing bro

[@XeroCool420]

I keep coming back to this buold and simply how amazing it is. Im gonna do one myself now. Can't wait to get everything together. Any chance I can maybe get a copy of the 3d print plans by chance? I know its a long shot but I would be forever in your debt and will absolutely shoot you cred

[@KieranMeadows]

Thanks dude I appreciate it. Ahh the bulk is more or less the original toy pack and a bunch of EVA foam. The printed parts are just for the surface to make it a bit more solid. You could make a pack like this without 3D printing anything. I tend not to share my STL files as too many people have taken advantage of my work unfortunately, either selling or sharing it as their own. Cheers for the support and if you got any questions I'll be sure to help you out

[@johndibeneditto7107]

I love creating like you have done in this video, do you do this type work for a living? I am interested in getting into that type of work professionally . Your pack is absolutely inspiring !

[@KieranMeadows]

That's real kind thank you. No I dont do this full time, I make alot of props and stuff but this pack was just a bit of fun I did one christmas

[@ia5662]

dang that laser is incredible! any chance they make that in yellow?

[@codyt821]

Yeah they make them in different colors, Amazon sells these high powered lasers on their site. They honestly aren't very expensive if you're looking to get one like this
