    ^DOTE Phantom was a bit sanitized, and simplified in design. IIRC he had Vixen-like animal-channeling abilities and a Batmanesque array of gadgets.

      These are based on the cartoon in which he looks exactly like the figure.

        I know. I have the original Galoob figures and TV show DVDs.

        That show and those figures were made for little kids. I sort of understand those not having guns in the age of political correctness, but this is an adult collectible. The Phantom without a holster and guns is like Superman without his cape. It just doesn't look right.

          These figures will be an instant purchase. Never dreamed we'd see 7-inch upgrades from the Defenders of The Earth.

            I liked the character designs of Defenders of the Earth but didn't care for the cartoon. Killing off Dale and turning her psyche into a computer AI, yeah, I wasn't crazy about that.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
