Hey team, wanted to share some feedback on the famous Todd Cook Design patches. That way if anyone is considering them, as I was, they know what they're signing up for. In a nutshell? Buy them.
Review:

Image
Here we see Todd's patch compared to an Amazon special patch on the top (not GBfans patch...which is waiting to be sent out)
Todd's patch is smaller than the Amazon patch and fits the uniform much better - the Amazon patch looks too big for the uniform. Looked "off" compared to Todd's patch.


Image
Here we can see Mooglie is felt instead of just white stitching. To me this is a HUGE benefit as it looks more authentic and real instead of the white stitching. Big selling point. The Amazon patch is excellent quality as well but feels synthetic and mass produced. Todd's feels like what you'd expect 3 recently laid-off scientists starting a paranormal business to have created.


Image
Compared to the Amazon patch, it's night and day. The Amazon patch is good quality, no doubt, but in my opinion it lacks charm and character - Todd's patch feels personal and authentic. Not to mention the actual stitching looks leagues better. Also, very minor detail - but Todd's Mooglie eyebrows look surprised, while the Amazon patch looks like he's having a stroke. Minor details like this are huge!



Image
Todd gives a hint into the detail and accuracy that went into his patch with a nice explanation on the back of his packaging. Nice info and more premium experience than just throwing it in a ziploc bag. Top-notch effort here.



Image
Bonus stickers which Todd threw in with the order, nice touch!


SUMMARY:
There's more Ghostbuster patches out there than there are stars in the sky - but Todd's patches are the best. Hands down.
The patch itself is incredibly accurate, feels more real & authentic, and elevates your uniform to a whole other level. The felt Mooglie and the stitching are the biggest selling points to me. Once you get this patch, all other patches will feel like knockoffs.
Not only are the patches quality, but so was the business experience. Todd answered emails quickly, gave great customer service, shipped and arrived within days, and also put effort into the packaging and experience.

If you're looking at buying a patch to put on your uniform, this is it. Is $20 more expensive than the $12 Amazon patch? Sure. But you get what you pay for and this purchase is a no-brainer to getting a more authentic patch - not to mention you're supporting small business and a fellow enthusiast that helps keep the community going! You aren't going to notice a few dollars difference a year from now or while out at Cons, but you will certainly notice another Ghostbuster with this patch and you'll get Ecto-envy haha

The Ghostbusters patch is the most recognizable symbol beyond Coca-cola and the one thing that signifies you as a Ghostbuster to others (besides perhaps your proton pack lol). For arguably the cheapest part of your build, go big or go home.

BUY IT.

(Todd didn't give me anything for this review and didn't ask to do it - just felt compelled since it was amazing!)

The Amazon patch IS NOT an official patch at all, so to compare it to that isn't all that good at all.

Compare it to an officially licensed one such as the Anovos patch or another fan patch like the GB1 Patch the Calgary Ghostbusters make.

Well yes, but I have no other patches to compare it with. This is literally just me buying a patch from Todd and sharing my opinion on it and comparing it to whatever else I had. Now if you'd like to buy and send me some, I'd be happy to review and compare it. ;)

Imagine this review without the patch from Amazon and hopefully it still provides value to someone considering Todd's patches.

Has anyone made a fabric patch that is accurate to the official logo? I know these are screen accurate... but I just can't bring myself to put the janky-looking ghost on my flight suit.

Sorry about that, I guess I just didnt think about it. I was just wanting to show all the tells from the glory of an original patch. Your picture will be removed from future sales of this patch. Once again I am sorry.
