The catalogue was just printed copies of his 4 x 6 photos of his older figs. They were 4 figs paired up in each pic. He also sent it out in a poster form. Greg has these pics, you can see them, if he finally gets off his lazy *** and updates his site, LOLLeave a comment:

Just a quick post here. I recall in the mid 90's Charlee's work was showcased in one of the Action Figure magazines out at the time. It included contact information. I called figuring I would get a secretary or assistant but was amazed it was Charlee. We had a a great conversation and he ended up sending me his catalog.Leave a comment:

I believe there were only two as I recall, and only one was really in pristine shape. Last I knew, Cal Weaver had that one.
And sometimes this idea of 'prototype' got thrown around a bit after FWF folded. For example, there were only 3 actual Phantom prototypes that we used either for shows or instructing the manufacturing rep, but it seems like everyone and their brother bought a 'prototype' from Charlee later. The actual prototypes had die cast metal guns and belt buckle.Leave a comment:

The guy from the Museum called me a bunch of times asking about how "serious" I was. I told him I was serious about buying a figure, but not for $1200. He was pretty persistent and took a hard-sell approach, but after about 3 or 4 calls, he finally gave up. It was a weird, unsettling experience that left me feeling like I'd almost committed some sort of felony. I asked for Charlee's number (since I only had his address), but this guy wouldn't give it to me. And, in hindsight, why would he jeopardize his cash cow?
In the end, it's a shame that Charlee took his talents, not to South Beach, but to some completely different creative arena. You could tell that he really cared about the figures he made, it's just that he couldn't keep up with the demands of people (both the ones who wanted his figures, and the ones who wanted to personally profit off of his figures).
I hope he decides to give it a whirl again some day, on his own terms. It would be cool to see what he could come up with today.Leave a comment:
