I know it's nothing new but I wanted to share my phaser mod with you guys.....
I bought the phaser on ebay for 10.00 U.S. dollars. Then I bought a high mw green laser and placed it in the prop. Now it pops balloons.

About the laser:

It is commonly known as the New Wish laser from Deal Extreme. A similar laser can be found at Radio Shack.
Mine was niether of the two brands because I bought it in Asia but usually they just rebrand the same lasers that come from china.
-Well thats what most people say:)

Cool. Thanks! Now I need to score one of those old Playmates TNG cricket phasers. I used to have one lying around, but I don't know where it is right now.

2 questions:

1. What power green laser do you need to pop balloons?

2. Which TNG cricket phaser toy is that? The Playmates or Galoob? It looks like the Playmates, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks.

It looks awesome and I really want to do it.

Ahhh good question!

First of all I purchased the laser while I was in asia so the label was fake!
It claimed to be 200mw but it can't light matches so my best guess would be around 15-20mw if anything. Popping ballons needs to be dark colored of course and depending on the weather and how close you are will affect popping time.

I'm using a Playmates verion type 1 phaser.
Please take your time with all your cuts because I don't want you to ruin your green beam:) ----let it cool down when the cuts get HOT!!! and take your time.

I've wanted to do this for the longest time with the boomerang type phaser. I think this would help me get started. Thanks!
