Modded toy Arc Reactor!

[Kyle138]

My girl bought me one of these. And I wasn't happy with the cheesey sounds and yellow light. So I made it a lil more movie accurate with a new LED and a new paint job.

Nice work. My three year old loves his; I'm not sure he'd let me have it long enough to mod.

Haha. Take it when he sleeps.

These are cool. I could see a lot of projects coming out of this toy. I would expect they'll be red-tagged at Target no later than August.

Well done. I did not think it possible to improve upon the sheer awesomeness of this toy, but you Sir, have excelled:lol Seriously though...that does look cool:thumbsup

Awwww. Shucks! Thanks for the compliments. It was cool. I'm down to do more if anyone is interested!

That's a very nice mod you have! I can show you how to diffuse the cover and also add more LEDs to make it brighter. You can see the tutorial on my website here:

Or just browse my Wesbite (not the blog) located in my Signature.

@Kyle138 Awesome job!
@Mr.Engineer Great tutorial!
The modded arc reactor looks so much better with the brighter white LEDs
The yellow LEDs make it look so dirty- just like you said.
