Phantom/ Achmed Early Bird Pix

[David Lee]

The Phantom and Achmed Early Birds will feature alternative costumes and more! The Phantom, arguably the oldest costumed super hero in existence, often took on a different look in other countries over the years. The Early Birds special variant will feature the New Zealand Green/Brown Phantom! This variant head and Costume will be included in with your regular Phantom so you can decide which to display! The Evil Prince Achmed will also feature a complete change of clothes! You can dress Prince Achmed in his non-western traditional Nehru style shirt and pants and sandals, to chill-ax and plot against his arch nemesis the Phantom!

All I can say is WOW!

I was hoping that the early bird bonus items would be cool, but you boys really came through big time. :drool_y:

Any chance of a red Phantom variant in the near future? :grin:

Any thought about a full b/w Phantom variant, ala the movie serial?

[jasonmego1277]

I love what I am seeing from you guys. I really need to get a Phantom and any variants . I absolutely love that figures detail.

I like the way you think Joe. We were in fact kicking around the idea of a gray body with a gray toned face and suit. Our take on it was to make it a "Daily" version as opposed to the "Sunday" colored version, but the serial is a good take as well. What would be cool? Is if we could package a DVD of the serials with it... now that would be spiff!

BTW This would be a Comic-con exclusive type figure for sure...

^^ I believe the serial was recently released in legitimate form. I didn't get it since I've had a boot for a while.

[GlobalObserver]

^^ I've had the VCI release for years, and love it. A Tom Tyler head sculpt would be awesome.

[Action Martin]

They look cool. But I was really hoping for the Kit Walker disguise of fedora, sunglasses, and trenchcoat.

That is correct.

Any chance the Nehru suit will be sold seperately? Dyed it would work great
for customs from the "UFO" tv series.

The figures look great.

Not Sure about that... were always open to having new stuff out there, but we'd want to keep the exclusive unreproducable to protect those who bought them...

I got some samples of these outfits today and they are really neat, and I too can see a ton of uses... So we'll just have to see.

[GlobalObserver]

That is correct.I'm only aware of the VCI version that was released in early 2001. Is there a more recent version available?

Nothing official yet... but as a almost certain rule of thumb? Cast-a-Way Club members will always get the first crack at most anything we make :wink:
