It’s going to be hard to explain to all of you how cool this is. I’ll try to sum it up in a dollar amount. To build a PKE meter through a GB prop forum, you’re going to drop about $100 on a resin shell and wings, and somewhere between $200 to $300 on the electronics. Toss on top of that paint, sandpaper and your time, it becomes a pretty expensive prop not a lot of people are familiar with.
Well, Mattel is releasing a screen accurate PKE meter later this year. And its cool for two reasons. The first being the price point, around $50. Based off of what I explained earlier, you can understand my excitement for reason one. The second reason is more of an assumption. Could this mean more props from Matty Collector? Master Replica had the rights but went under just before the Ghost Trap was released. Let’s all cross our fingers that we might be getting a screen accurate Ghost Trap from Matty.
