Whip open your paint sets and colour this all shades of cool! This twin-bag backpack is your Ghostbusters-themed accessory du jour.
This bit of geek fashion is brought to us via Think Geek (and other outlets, I’m sure) who feel the need to remind us that this backpack “Does not actually fight ghosts.” You know if they hadn’t said that there would have been complaints.
A backpack that looks like a Ghostbusters proton pack is a neat idea for Comic Cons for several reasons:
- It’s instantly recognizable and thematic: Ghostbusters is a beloved franchise with iconic imagery. Wearing a proton pack, even a stylised one, immediately signals your fandom and helps you connect with other fans.
- It’s practical: Comic Cons involve much walking and carrying stuff. A proton pack backpack lets you carry your essentials (water, snacks, purchases) while being a cool costume prop.
- It’s a conversation starter: It’s a unique and eye-catching accessory that can lead to fun interactions with other attendees. People might ask for photos, or you might find yourself busting ghosts with fellow Ghostbusters cosplayers!
- It can be customized: Adding lights, sounds, or other details to make your proton pack backpack more authentic and personalised.
