    I know I'm the one who started the first thread bad mouthing CAST-A-AWAY toys for the slow service and NOT answering any of my emails or phone calls.....but now I have to say, after getting this Phantom figure....it was well worth the wait.....'THEY' did a great job and the packaging is amazing....after finding out that 'THEY' are just Dave and Jason, I can understand all the work 'THEY' had to put into this figure and why it took so long to produce....when I first saw the CAST-A-WAY website I assumed from the quality of the items that this was a big company.....all I can say now is for a 2 man operation, this stuff is AMAZING......Thank you Dave and Jason.......ps..how can 'WE' get the first figures you released....I saw them on the mego-like website , monster figures: Phantom of the Opera, The Fly.....?

        Very very anxious for mine to arrive. My mom bought me the early bird set for christmas and dont have a clue what # it was as she deleted the email invoice. Bought the club member exclusives and the throne to go with them. Also went the ebay route and bought the fx employees version of the phantom. That is a really cool piece.

          Those early figures were all hand made and way long gone...Sadly, we don't even have all of them ourselves. They never seem to come around even on E-bay... Maybe one day we can re-release these on our new body with roto-cast heads and the works... Othewise, good luck is all I can say.

                Dave,

                What new body? Is there another new body you are working on? Come on, you let the cat out of the bag. Now spill it!

                  I just meant our "non mego" improved body we currently make.... though improvements are on the table

                    Just wanted to mention, I got my Long Awaited Phantom and he looks great. Still waiting on the EB Stuff but we knew that. I also got my other order, and everything looks great. Thank you, Dave.

                      Got mine and the Phantom is great. Just a beautiful figure. Sharp packaging. All around winner.

                        I LOVE the FX version which has the classic Phantom along with the head and costume for the Gray Ghost. I liked that so much I joined the club and ordered that one today. I'm looking forward to getting it! I think Castaway Toys has tapped into a big hit for collectors. I think I'll end up getting the Kit Walker outfit and throne as well. Nice work guys!

                          My order is 619. I thought the first 700 or so was shipped out over a fortnight ago. I paid for prority mail. Did you send it to the wrong address or something?

                            I was kinda wondering about my Phantom, too. I didn't get the newsletter, so I wasn't sure if my address was wrong or something. I bought mine through ebay, joined the club and waited patiently.
