Mattel and Hasbro are usually pretty good at putting sound and light up features on their toys. If you're going to put electronics into the proton pack, it seems like the gun would be the focus. You'd have to display the figure backwards to even see those 4 blinking lights. It just seems kinda pointless to me, that's all.

yeah i canunderstand that. iguess them putting the lights in the cycltron would hopefully be a selling point for them and wud make gb fan base want em more. i agree tho,, lights in the proton wand would have been cool

 

[Wor-Gar]

They could have made these for $60 with no lights at all.

I'm sure some industrious person here will mod the gun to light up.

yeah iwas thinkingthe same thing, wont be too long b4 some will or can do that.

That light up proton pack is less impressive than I was expecting. I figured the gun would light up and you'd get the firing sound. 4 blinking lights and no sound is a bit of a yawner.

You gotta be kidding...

Not at all. I think putting a sound chip in there would have been the best thing they could have done. Imagine pushing a little button and getting that neat sound of the proton pack firing up, or having the tip of the gun light up with the sound of the stream coming out. I guess if I hadn't imagined that's what the elctronic features would be like, maybe I'd be more impressed. The pack itself does look nice though.

You're right! That would have been awesome! I always loved the sound the proton pack made when it fired up. Great sound design.

You could always buy a Go Hero body with the sound feature for $80 quid and throw in the sound effects and dialogue bits!

I was pretty happy with the figures I saw at SDCC but I think I am going to pass on the 1:6 figures.


If these were Hot Toys quality or even Sideshow quality figures I'd get them but I'm really not that impressed overall.

 

[teabelly83]

yeah there is alot of work 2 do on these if ur a big gb fan and big on acurracy. ive already got a set of customs in the process so ill be getting these anyway, ill prob use the equipment- pack, trap etc.

 

[quiggle]

why does the back of the proton pack have a red through violet color prism strap?

 

[Kuzeh]

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

WOW, you did your homework!

 

[Wor-Gar]

I always thought the GB proton pack hose to the gun was smooth... but the Mattel toy has a very 'crinkled' hose... but that chart above seems to be smooth at parts and ribbed in the middle.

I'm confused now.

I was thinking about replacing the hose on the Matty pack with a smooth black one, but now...

It's a crinkled, split-loom type hose. Mattel got that correct.

 

[Kuzeh]

Yep!
Mattel did an astounding job on the Proton Pack,
