Magnificent! 

You've made a purple jumpsuit look sexy cool.

That's a bit special

Beautiful work. He looks great. The highlights on the musculature and the striped undies are amazing. 

I don't think I'd look so good dressed like that.

Don't let false modesty stop you

Anyhow, it a nice fig and a good painjob but I just don't get over the fact that when I was first introduced to the Phantom at a tender age of 6 or so, he was always coloured more @ darkish blue than purple (even dark purple) in Finnish papers (if he was coloured at all, his own mag that came around a little later and ran until around 2 or so year back 4-X didn't have colour pages except for the cover).

Excellent paint. Do you have any games in mind for him?

Thanks. It was a nice miniature to paint.

Thanks. I would like to use him as Rogue Agent in Strange Aeons, as hero in WWW (1&2), .45 Adventures, Pulp Alley, so I think he was a good investment.

Cheers.

He does seem pretty versatile, now you mention it.

I agree, nice fig and good paintjob.
Mr tnjrp, in Sweden he is also blue. What i heard, when the Phantom first got printed in newspapers they couldn´t print a good purple colour so they changed it to blue. If i remember right he is red in Spain.

No reason not to buy more and paint them different colours
I fancy a yellow one myself.

[obsidian3d]

I'd love to buy one myself...but I've spent way way WAY too much money on miniatures this year. (I think it's pretty close to the $2000 mark...yikes! :S Good thing the gf never sees my bank statements!)

Man is that a great figure! And you've done an excellent job painting him! The problem with posts like this is that I feel the need to buy ever more miniatures...

Beautiful job of the living ghost who walks there. Gotta get me one of those one of these days...

And then to buy enemies, a jungle, a wolf, a horse
