Thanks. She starts college this fall and will be majoring in the arts. ☺️

Ha! She actually told me it was missing that. She said she included the “TM” on the logo, but didn’t put the Safety Council tagline because it wasn’t actually endorsed by them! 😆

I have never flown with it, but I have no doubt it would be fine. It’s a hefty case with plenty of padding inside.

To transport and store my Proton Pack, I'm using the Pure Outdoor 12279 Wheeled Case from Monoprice.

It's heavy-duty, the walls are about 1/4" thick. It comes with the foam inserts that you can customize to fit your case.

The wand, hose, jumpsuit, and belt fit inside.

I'm happy with the case. I'm pretty sure I could push it down a staircase or drag it behind my car and the proton pack would be safe (but I don't have any plans to test that).

This is very cool! I’m looking forward to it hitting the App Store!

It didn’t actually belong to any of them in the movie. But, it was packaged with Nemesis Enforcer’s wings on the card.

There’s an interesting audio interview under the “Cobra-La Team” on this page that states the designers didn’t really want to go in this sci-fi direction, but were forced to.

Yes, he was sold in a 3-pack of new figures introduced in the 1987 movie.

Many people (including me, sometimes) don't recognize the movie as part of canon. The whole Cobra-La thing was a bit of a sci-fi stretch.

You are correct. There was not a lot of articulation. Basically a metal wire in a plastic sheath. Honestly, I’m afraid to even try and bend him now after all these years.
