I've finally made it onto my last planet on the Quadrant Map.
Krypton: Superhero
Well he looks like a Superhero to me? What do you think Greg?
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

A super-hero? Sure...looks like one to me. I have never heard of "The Phantom", or known his history apparently dates to 1938? Here I was thinking that this guy's formative moment came when he was exposed as a young man to Keir Starmer giving a speech on "personality", causing him to blackout while his brain turned to mush, and when he woke up, he was clad only in purple tights, a victim of unknown military experiments...
So yes, you get 25 points, and have achieved the core of a Challenge Quadrant! Well done.

Nice Phantom, Ray! A true superhero in my books, no strange powers or anything like that. You have captured him well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teemu, glad you like him.
DeleteGreat entry for Krypton Ray! Your purple paint pot should get more attention!
ReplyDeleteI think it'll have to!
DeleteGreat Phantom, with the power of ten tigers!!! Who doesn't love the Billy Zane film of this character, guilty pleasure.
ReplyDeleteThe film's a bit dodgy really?
DeleteNice hero, Ray! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin!
DeleteThat is a pretty fabulous shade of purple, I must say. Smashing job, Ray!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Curt.
Deletelovely job Ray
ReplyDeleteCheers Martin.
DeleteNice Phantom, Ray. The purple is very vibrant and suits the comic book origin of the model.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stuart.
DeleteThe"Ghost who walks" nice job, Ray! That purple is spot on! Need some adversary poachers and gun runners for him to fight now! ;)
ReplyDeleteHmm?
DeleteGrape results Ray, love the purple and the striped trunks.
ReplyDeleteHe cam out better than I was expecting?
DeleteCheers Sander.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking superhero!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Are you really a superhero if you need a pistol? Certainly I won't doubt your superhero powers when it comes to painting, well done.
ReplyDeleteCheers, MikeP
I was such a big fan of the Phantom back in the day. Great work.
