Just a quick note to let everyone know that we're now completely sold out of the Red Boots Edition of the Stardust figurine - thanks very much to those who have supported us thus far! We're now down to the Grey and Yellow Boots Editions, so if one of those interest you, please check them out on Goldenagefigurines.com. Thanks!

Wanted to let everyone know that Goldenagefigurines.com is sponsoring a contest on the Digital Comic Museum (DCM) site, one of the web's premiere sources of free scanned public domain comic books. As you can imagine, the site requires a lot of bandwidth, and DCM relies on donations from members to pay their hefty monthly server bill. To encourage more donations and help publicize The Golden Age Comics Figurine Collection, I am providing one free Stardust the Super Wizard (Grey Boots Edition) figurine to a lucky donor at the end of September. For every dollar donated, the donor will get 1 ticket towards the figurine in the raffle. To read the official contest rules, please visit DCM for more information; it's a great site worthy of your support!

Hi All,

 

The first superheroine in the history of comics will soon be available as a limited edition, hand painted polyresin figurine from Goldenagefigurines.com:

 

9411616_orig.jpg

 

Created by the enigmatic Fletcher Hanks, Fantomah is a mysterious supernatural protector of the African jungles who inflicts bizarre and brutal punishments on evildoers. All of the Fantomah tales drawn by Hanks have been collected in two fantastic books edited by Paul Karasik, I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets! and You Shall Die by Your Own Evil Creation!, both published by Fantagraphics. Fantomah is sculpted at 1/21 scale and stands 3.75" (9.5 cm) tall, with an estimated weight of 1.25 oz (35.4 g). The production run will be limited to 250 pieces and divided into 3 color variants: the white, yellow, and blue skull editions, each based on a specific color scheme from the original comics. The ratio of each variant produced will depend upon the number of pre-orders received. Each variant will have its own label, be individually numbered, and come in a full color printed box.

 

To reduce the chance of breakage, the figurine will be packaged separately from the base; a small drop of super glue will be required to attach it. The pre-order price in our online shop is just $14.95; the offer is good until October 31, 2013, after which the figurine will be priced at $16.95. We anticipate the figurines to arrive by December 2013/January 2014. The final product may differ somewhat from the digital illustration shown here, as it is a hand painted item.

 

We also have some special package deals: the Fantomah Two Variant Special for just $28.90 (a savings of $1 over ordering them separately); a Fantomah Three Variant Special for just $42.85 (a savings of $2 over ordering them separately); and a Fantomah+Stardust Special for just $36.62 (a savings of $3 over ordering them separately). All offers expire 10/31/13.

 

Best Regards,

 

Jared

Hi All,

 

Finally received photos of the 3D printed prototype of Fletcher Hanks's Fantomah, Mystery Woman of the Jungle figurine:

 

2773709_orig.jpg

422004_orig.jpg

 

This will serve as the master for the production molds; only 250 (or fewer) figurines will be made. She stands 3.75" (9.5 cm) tall, about the same size as the Eaglemoss Wonder Woman figurine. There is only one more day left to pre-order her at the low, low price of $14.95; on November 1, the price will increase to $16.95. She is available in three color variants, with the production figurines expected to arrive in December/January.

 

Best Regards,

 

Jared

Hi All,

 

Here are a pair of factory photos of the painted Fantomah prototypes:

 

9745130_orig.jpg

 

1909178_orig.jpg

 

I think they look great considering that the figurine is only 3.75" (9.5 cm) tall. The one glaring mistake is that the heads of the Yellow and White Skull variants have been switched; since they are not attached to the body at this stage, it was a simple error to correct. The paint application appears a bit glossier than that of Stardust, but that is due to the strong lighting. I approved the prototypes yesterday and production is now underway, with the production figurines hopefully arriving by late December/early January. I'm still receiving a steady amount of Fantomah pre-orders and I wanted to note that there are only 16 blue variants left unreserved; if you have your eye on that one, I would pre-order it sooner than later.

 

Best Regards,

 

Jared

The Fantomah, Mystery Woman of the Jungle figurines have arrived and are now in stock:

7981853_orig.jpg

4915652_orig.jpg

2304593_orig.jpg

 

Fantomah is sculpted at 1/21 scale and stands 3.75" (9.5 cm) tall, with a weight of .6 oz (17 g). This is to the same scale as the Marvel and DC superhero figurines produced by Eaglemoss of England. The production run is limited to 150 pieces and divided into 3 color variants: the white (90 pieces), yellow (10 pieces), and blue (50 pieces) skull editions, each based on a specific color scheme from the original comics. Prices range from $17.95 to $22.95, depending on the variant, and the figurine can be purchased at Goldenagefigurines.com, eBay, and Amazon. Less than 50 remain in stock, with the yellow and blue skull editions almost sold out. Each variant has its own label, is individually numbered, and comes in a box with a unique full color printed sleeve. To reduce the chance of breakage, the figurine is packaged separately from the base; a small drop of super glue is required to attach it.

 

Fantomah, Mystery of Woman of the Jungle, is probably Fletcher Hanks's second most well known creation after Stardust. She is the first superheroine in comics, appearing in Jungle Comics #2 (February 1940) published by Fiction House, predating the first appearance of Wonder Woman by almost 2 years. A mysterious supernatural being who protects the jungles of Africa, Fantomah possesses near limitless magical power, including the powers of flight, levitation of other objects, and the ability to mutate her adversaries into any form imaginable. When the jungle or its inhabitants are under threat, Fantomah can instantly change from a beautiful blonde woman to a frightening skull-faced wraith capable of inflicting bizarre and brutal punishments on evildoers. All of the Fantomah tales drawn by Hanks have been collected in two fantastic books edited by Paul Karasik, I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets! and You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation!, both published by Fantagraphics.

 

I hope these figurines are of interest to you and thanks for your support!

 

Best Regards,

 

Jared

My order arrived awhile back. Excellent detail for a small figurine. Captures the look and attitude of Hank's character remarkably well. :applause:

 

The packaging was a little less than hoped for, but the need to cut corners is understandable given the limited demand for a specialty product such as this.

The bottom line: Highly recommended to every geek who'd enjoy owning three dimensional recreations of some seriously kewl GA characters.

 

Looking forward to your Black Terror project! (thumbs u
