South Park Topper Mod (illumination)
« on: April 29, 2010, 02:41:05 PM »
Today Cartman got an anal #44 probe. I have managed to make him stay illuminated, and flash during modes. Found a string of #44s at the top of the PF, changed a few to LEDs, and soldered on some cables to go back up through the cab, into the backbox, and into cartman. Stole a bulb holder out of Fish Tales's coin slot, and happy happy illuminated flashing topper. Looks really great  ()

Shitty video, but gives you an idea:

Looks great. Next time I see a South Park pin, I will have a few more games. Never gave this pin much notice until I saw your machine, and I like what you have done with it  ^^^

Are there any other plastic south park character 'toys' available perhaps simialr size to the pin topper???

I'm interested in adding the other 3 guys on top, as well as making each one illuminate while they're talking.
( a speech rom-mod to control some lighting would added ).

They are out there, but new in 1998, so will take some chasing.

These look interesting "Wacky Wobblers".... they're 19cm tall (the original cartman topper-toy is 15cm) and the head wobbles while the toy 'says' various phrases....

http://shop.ebay.com.au/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=south+park+wobbler

I just bought a set of 4, plus CHEF too.....i intend to light them and now have the head wobble to, all triggered from speech-rom decoding...

Should be fun!

Cool toppers, i also received a set of 4 'whacky wobblers' plus a 'chef' too....

I'm a little bummed that they dont exactly perform the way the ads say they do, so it's time to add a motor inside to wobble the heads and internal lighting etc...each character will lightup/wobble/talk when activated by the appropriate triggers from the game...
