Interest 'Ghostbusters' Ecto Goggles remastered NEW RUN THIS JULY

[GhostbusterDan]

I love the color of them. I have a pair I made from an Epic Props UK kit, I also have a Karnivorous Creations set, and I'm just not in love with their respective colors. But these look great.

One question for you RetroCulture, I don't own anything with cold cast parts. How do those parts look in hand?

I owned both Epic Props (terrible, worst pair I ever had), and Karnivorous (nice but not this nice).

These are easily hands down winners.

Genuinely you’ll be happy.

Awesome. I have a weird love for Ecto goggles, so I'm super excited about this pair. Thanks for sharing pictures of yours! It makes me even more excited!

Update on this next batch please. Especially for people who paid back in SEPTEMBER and still haven’t had their order shipped

I posted a pic last page, they're wrapping up (answered your message as well )

On a side note, it's incredible how much better these look than the Hollywood Collectibles goggles. I made the mistake of buying their muon trap and Halliwax and I completely redesigned it because it was so bad. After that debacle, I swore off anymore of their stuff and their goggles just did not impress me.

The difference is the use of real parts. While I'm proud of my lenses and their mobility (something I've never done in a prop replica) the molding and casting of real world parts makes the details count. And once you've held a pair of these (now antique) NVG frames, you see that the color was really altered by their environment. Sun damage and bleaching was common. So that requires multiple coats of a couple of different colors over the color casting. I'm pleased everyone is enjoying these!

Got mines! Really nice work hotshot! Thank you! I think the only thing I’d say is that the lenses inside kinda dig into my head but it is not too bad with some extra padding!

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Thanks! Yea they twinge a bit...I think I might shrink them a bit with this new molding...at first they didn't bug me in the prototypes, my square head strikes again lol

But I'm glad you like them!

As someone with a smaller head, I would very much appreciate this haha

Next ten COMPLETE!
Shipping tomorrow morning. I'm off the next few days for gallbladder surgery so I'm looking forward to sitting still and just making molds in the days after

Some of the parts, decals, snaps, yadda yadda are already bagged and waiting for the next 20

Coming in January! Got the second one completed, colors checked, numbers confirmed, even her final photos! They came out great and will be a touch cheaper too (not as many parts). Will be offering a further discount to anyone who participated in this FS thread as well

 

[Rhett J Martin]

Can I be put on the list?

Yup! Payment info is in that first post

 

[Rhett J Martin]

List is updated, Shipoing notices for tomorrow morning have gone out via your PayPal emails ( I assume).

We've shipped 40, next 20 are beginning! I'll be unavailable tomorrow and Thursday due to surgery, but I'll be back at it Friday.

And just cause I love y'all so much, here's some sneak peaks from Santa...

Ugh, I'm definitely going to be in for a pair of GB II's.

 

[jaq78]

How many more GB (1984) goggles will you be making? I will be able to purchase a set after Christmas as purchasing gifts for family has to come first.
