Etsy shop VikingProps has this highly detailed Proton Backpack Prop for sale, based on those seen in the Ghostbusters movies. It’s constructed from unspecified metal, wood, and plastic with weathered paint and decals and is true to scale. What really caught my eye, however, is that it’s built using an A.L.I.C.E. pack frame. As the video below shows, the Proton Pack can also be upgraded with full lights and sounds, making it quite possibly the ultimate Ghostbusters Cosplay accessory.

You know there’s are people in Virginia Beach and Norfolk who build these packs? My friend Dan’s is the most screen-accurate pack I’ve seen.
Actually, there are people all over who build these packs. There’s even at least one club that’s devoted solely to Ghostbusters costuming that goes around to various cons and shares info on how to create or where to get a GB costume including proton packs and traps. And then there are other sites like the RPF that’s dedicated to props & costumes in general that you can also find info on either making or buying your own replica proton pack amongst other things.
