    I was initially blindsided by the loud color scheme, but have grown very fond of it. What I like is that it really plays up complimentary colors and it almost seems like something they would have done in the 70s for a knock-off... making the head an intense purple for what reason, I don't know.

    The Phantom monster character is sort of a B-list monster traditionally- cool, but not on par with a frankenstein or Dracula, so it's kind of hard to make him stand out in the monster crowd. The CAW purple really sets him apart as his own Phantom, distinct from those Phantoms that have gone before him. IMHO

      I kind of like Lincoln's manner a bit better, with the flesh undertone and then the light shading of purple. It looks to me like his skin is human flesh, but the Phantom's scarred has a permanently bruised quality to it.

      If I can get one, I may actually repaint the face a bit. But the sculpt is wonderful. No complaints in any other way!

        why not rotocast?
        If you need a hole, I can dig it.

          I don't believe their production runs on these are anywhere near enough quantity to do rotocast.

                  Those FX Show versions are really cool. You can see those rickety CTVT bodies struggling underneath the costumes. But that makes them look more Tomland-ish!

                  The recycled Joker outfit for Phantom is a nice touch. Hunchback is a great looking figure.

                    Very True G.C. !
                    But at least you can see a giant pile of bear poop.
                    I don't see a hunch on the Hunchback .

                      There's a hunch on the hunchback. You can't see it because it's on his back under his clothes.

                        These are really nice, the more I look at them, phantom has just simply gone purple in the face

                            I really dig the paint on the Phantom... Very 70's and very cool. Nice to see something a little different. Great figures, Jason.

                              I really like everything about these two figures. When are these going to be available?

                                Perhaps the purple ISA nod to the Lincoln?
