    As fast as we could get them out the door...

        As an owner of an original, I'd be thrilled if we got a new one!

        What a great figure. I also second the Black Terror (And Tim!)

          The castaway tan bodies on phantom and capt.action were made so good that I have not had one fall apart yet and( I bought several bodies for customs
          that I still use today) while at the same time I have a box of broken emce figures and a few ctv toys that fell apart easily

            The original Castaway body was incredible. I need to get some Type S bodies to try. I hear nothing but good things.

              That's been my philosophy from day one on 8 inch figures.... you gotta get the body right! It doesn't matter how good everything else if it falls apart.

                  The standard phantom is what brought back to mego collecting and nothing I have purchasd since is even close in quality.
                  Please consider another of this figure so all the collector's who missed out can ad it to there collections.
                  When I ordered my last one I asked jason about grey variant and he sent me a free grey phantom head and suit.
                  what other company does that ? I look forward to getting some s-type bodies too . thank you castaway !

                    I missed the Castaway boat, so if the Ghost Who Walks makes a comeback, I will be there.

                        When and if this becomes available it'll sell like hot cakes. If Midtown Comics did not carry it back then, I never would have known about it. I'm was so impressed by the quality of the Phantom I went back the next day and immediately bought a second which remained MIP. CAT should make it available again.

                          Lost the molds for what they head and hands? Retool those and stick em on a Type S and I will buy em. I'd buy a captain action too.

                            I'd like to see them do a 1/6 version based on the Tom Tyler serial.

                                Please, please, please make those gun belts Dave! I had to make a double holster for my Phantom, by glueing 2 CTVT belts together.
                                I so want a Cast-A-Way belt for him!
