AHPC 12 - Krypton/Superhero - The Phantom


Going all Sci Fi/Fantasy today!!!

I've finally made it onto my last planet on the Quadrant Map.
Krypton: Superhero


Well he looks like a Superhero to me?


From the first Comic Strip May 28th 1939




I bought the figure several years ago from the now defunct Avolak Castings. It was sold as The Spectre.
He's been sat in a box waiting for Curt to do a Superhero bonus round all this time.


 I've not used my pot of purple paint very much, apart from on my Ottomans.
It was great to scrap the crust off the top!


So with this post I make it into the centre of the quadrant and await my punishment from the Snowlord.

Nice and easy on the points on this one.

5 points for the figure
20 points for the Bonus round

  3. I like him! I once did the Phantom from a Zombies of the Stratosphere range from Pulp Miniatures. The Ghost Who Walks doesn't get enough press!

    1. I do have quite a collection of strange (for me) unpainted figures, that might fit into the Challenge obe day.

  8. Lovely work Ray. I do love my superheroes... perhaps the Rejects ought to collect a few for "gaming"?

  9. One of my favorite Pulp era heroes from some very old comic books I read in the early to mid '60's. You've brought him front forward nicely. He does need 'Wolf' by his side ( I think that was the dog's name.) Purple can be tough to sell, nice work!
