Yes, red indeed.

And, which was the name of his dog?

I remember one of his adventures against a gang of sky pirates, flying black seaplanes with purple position lights...
Far away memories!

please consider a mounted version with dog

Holy cow!! How in the world could we forget and "Devil", his wolf animal friend?!?!?! And wasn't Thunder his horse?

A mounted version would be cool, but I've always have imagined his non-mounted when fighting bad guys.

red indeed - Not a very good color to be wearing in order to live and be concealable in the Deep Woods jungles.  ;)

My first Phantom encounter was getting a plastic jet when I was 6 that was his.  Wasn't there an old movie in the 60's - 70's before the Billy Zane one?

Love the figures, hope I get that order slip in the email soon ;)

Ah!! Leave to Hammers to hit the nail on the head!! (bad pun, sorry) You are right, my friend.

Is it? For real? Or are you just jerking my gullible chain?

Wolverine in blue-yellow spandex is not gay....

I would never tell that guy he's gay. Snick! Cut. Gasp! Expire!

Brilliant figure. I did enjoy artist Luke McDonnel's 10-12 issue run on DC's version of the title back in the 1980's.

And I have a soft spot in my heart for the movie. Bill Zane did a bang-up job, IMHO.

I ordered this guy, although I did convert a Marvel heroclix Bullseye into The Ghost Who Walks.... you can never have too much of The Phantom!! Even got the "Shadow Grey" to paint him up with.

Here's a picture of my Phantom, with Devil, his wolf.

Like I said in an earlier post... I never did like those striped shorts of his...

Wow.  Great use of the HK, it still suprises me, the very nice conversions that can be done with the figures.  I wonder if anyone has done a database on it.   ???

At the very least a before and after series would be fairly neat.  A sort of step by step for Phantoms and Flash Gordon on the Cheap!   lol
