The Phantom

I think I mentioned shooting some more pics of the Phantom last week. Well, better late than never. I can't say enough about this toy, it's a great representation of the character done in that classic Mego style by Cast-A-Way Toys. So lets check out the pics...

Soft Roto Head like back in the day

Unlike Megos from earlier days, the Phantom sports hands that are more flexible, almost like Kung Fu Grip, with trigger fingers extended, and the Phantom's rings on both hands. Amazing that they captured the ring's detail as well.

Belt buckle detail, my only gripe (which is very slight) is that the silver paint rubs off some. Not a deal killer in the least though. And hey, stripy britches!

Nice sculpt and feel on the Pistols. Detail of the hand and the "Business" Ring.

The belt and holsters are a softer, more flexible plastic so the holsters can close, Really a nice fit all the way.

The Ghost Who Walks!

I'm digging this figure so much I'm thinking about trying my hand at some customs using parts from the Cast-A-Way Toys site. I'm thinking first the Flash, maybe a cool Captain America, and a friend suggested Mandrake the Magian and Flash Gordon!

Lazy Weekend

It was a slow and extremely hot weekend. The temps here have averaged about 100 for two weeks now, no rain, everything is dry. So I just laid around on the back porch under the fan Saturday morning with my new Phantom figure from Cast Away Toys and Lu Lu the Basset.

This photo actually won us some Mego Museum cards from one of the members. See the Mego Museum trading cards are meant to be traded or given away and every once in a while a member will run a fun little contest on the forums. Well all they wanted to see was a Cast Away Toys toy posed and if you were the first three you won a few cards.

So since Lu Lu was on Squirrel watch the Phantom thought he would assist, I snapped the pic and should have some random Mego Museum cards coming my way. I'll post some more images of the Phantom later in the week, and maybe when the cards hit the mail box I'll post our winnings, ours because Lu Lu has a modeling fee.

Well, like I said Lazy Weekend...
