Proton Pack - Complete

Occasionally, a completed Proton Pack will go for sale on eBay. Most of these replicas are fitted with working lights, and in some cases, a sound system with looping sound effects when the wand is "in use."

Proton Pack - Kits

Proton Pack kits rarely show up on eBay. They typically provide you with the basic, major parts you'll need to get started. Of course, building your own kit is much more cost effective (as well as time consuming). Plans and schematics for building a proton pack can be found here.
