        Ok I received my Phantom Early bird today....sort of. A few problems with this guy, let me know if this is common with anyone elses. First the stitching is coming loose in several places on his costume. Second there is silver fingerprints on his black gunbelt and on his hands. and finally the worst of it all....no early bird stuff! Was the early bird stuff not shipping with the early bird figure? Other wise he is everything I have grown to expect with Castaway toys. Wicked articulation great looking props, fantastic head sculpts. One more slight disapointment was that I ordered the Kick *** chair, and was hoping it would ship with the figure....but alas it was not to be....The phantom that walks will continue to walk...no rest for the cool purple dude!!

            Yes I think I read in a post here that the yellow suits were not done in time and were going to ship seperately when they were ready.

              You were right I found this little nugget on another thread....thanks for the heads up...but I really wasn't worried. Castaway Toys always comes through, and makes things right.


              "The yellow outfit was delayed and will ship seperately as soon as they arrive. "

                Awesome!!! I got my figure yesterday Beautiful figure, I mean really nice work. I like the packaging as well.

                Dave, Jason great work.

                The yellow suit was marked as sending soon. I still have not received my EB coupon though but no worries.

                So, after Phantom what is next?

                      This is as good a place as any to thank my friend Bobby White for taking the photos on the back of the packages. We had a real fun time setting up the prototypes and Jason's original throne and Devil sculpts. I had a blast on the front packaging art. Quite an honor to be able to draw the Ghost Who Walks on officially licensed material. Thanks Dave and Jason!!!

                        Got my 2 sets yesterday. Thanks for the note advising about the EB extras delay David.

                        Quick review:

                        The Phantoms both look great. The guns and holster rock. No issues with the outfit that I can see, both were well made and sewn.

                        Achmed is cool too, although the finish on the suit jacket is a bit frayed and the pants a bit restrictive of his leg movement. The knife is excellent, and the sculpt is very nice. I wouldn't mind some extras of that for customs.

                        Packaging is nice as well, standard castaway clam with nice artwork and composition.

                          My 2 pack arrived as I was leaviong for work today and I only had a few minutes to give it a quick once over.

                          You know how it is with Pre-Orders. You never know. So I was happy to receive something, but now that you mention it, my Purple Phantom also had Silver paint marks on his Purple costume. No clie where the paint came from, as he doesn't have any visible accessories to get paint rubs from.

                          As you mentioned, no Yellow suit, but I did receive PART of the Achmed suit.
                          The Sandals were missing - Not certain if the red belt was there.
                          Otherwise his accessories seem to be there and bagged to avoid any paint.

                          Will the rest of the Achmed suit be shipped with the Yellow Phantom Suit?
                          Cheers,
                          Guyx1
