Retsy Series 1 · Card 0228 · 80-TEC
Capture every birthday. Build every bicep.
A full-size VHS camcorder that rode on your shoulder and weighed roughly as much as the birthday kid.
The story · 1986
Every family had one uncle with a Packmule, hunched behind it at every party, red light glowing. It took full-size tapes, so the footage went straight into the VCR. It also came with a battery the size of a brick and a hard case your cousin used as a step stool.
Most Packmule tapes contain forty minutes of the floor, recorded while someone forgot to press stop.
Six finishes
Packmule Camcorder comes in six finishes: 100 Base, 50 Holo, 25 Laser and 10 Gold copies, plus one Super Laser and one Misprint that exist exactly once. Every copy is minted to the wallet that rips it, with its own serial number.
