That bag is excellent! Were you the one who bought that off ebay? Or did you just see that too? I definitely want to make that for my upcoming ToD Indy
Yours looks awesome. Inspirational.

I made a couple and sold the one that was on eBay. Came across this HT bag for cheap with the already customized strap (aka broken since the strap is ****e), and put together another. Now I just need Mola Ram.
I have like 5 different LED types as they were really cheap. Amber and a more yellow one, and they have all different types of lighting -- a flickering, a more steady glow.
Oh hell, I had no idea that was you. I saw that auction -- and was totally inspired by the gimmick! I even kept the auction photos. Its awesome. I totally have to build one now.
Brilliant idea!! Brilliant!

Do it!
It was a fun project, barely took any time at all too. I think I used the hot tip from my glue gun to burn through the outer layer of the bag and put a couple quarters inside the bag to prevent me from burning through to the other side. If you PM your address I'll send a batch of the various led light options I picked up. I think in that video it's two orange amber lights with a "breathing/fading" effect on the left and candle/flicker on the right.
Do it!
I was looking at your video -- trying to decide which one I like best or maybe just solid glow. Which did you use for yourself? I kind of like the flicker one only because its a more orangey glow.
What a super-cool display, TonTon!!!

Interested ....
Wow, very cool TonTon! Really wish I could try that, but unfortunately the figure I bought wasn't the exclusive with the clear stones.
That looks awesome TT.
You could do a simple casting of a stone in clear resin and add some clear orange. Not sure but I think the Sideshow clear stones were simply clear versions of the solid stones.

I shouldn't have bought that!

Yep, they were. If they also included the bag like TonTon has made, it would have been an even cooler exclusive
I think the clear 'stones' also have some little flakes or sparkles inside too.

Thanks, guys. Tali sent me some tips on doing casting so I might look into how feasible that would be. Yeah, it looks like it's clear and then they have little flecks of yellow and brown/black paint on the outside. Hard to tell if it's inside as well. Interestingly the stone is formed as two pieces, looks like a lego connection inside, it might allow the LED to fit inside the stone. There's not a lot of space inside the bag to house the stone, LED, a couple coin batteries. Gets kinda tight so that could help.

Interesting. I can't think of a reason they'd need to make it two pieces ... unless they'd planned a light-up feature and then changed their minds? Otherwise, why make the translucent stones at all...
