Some months back I yearned for this re-release, having obtained Atlantis' reissue of Alex Raymond's comic-strip space adventurer, Flash Gordon (see "Collectible Time #55": March '16).
As with Flash (who's packaged with a little Martian figure), the 1/8 scale Phantom (who we well know spanned several, heroic Walker descendants) is accompanied by his own companion: a leaping Tiki-ish Voodoo Witch Doctor, who in his own right, stands as a mighty fine retro-piece.
I obtained my kit through Z&Z Hobbies at a most reasonable price. (Most retailers offer it for about $30.)
This one is certainly worth obtaining for nostalgic reasons and more importantly, commemorates the greatest, jungle hero ever to bolt out of the Bangalla vegetation!!!
Long live the Phantom!!!
