At the Phantom premiere in 1996, there were Phantom cookies and milk. I put these in my pocket and one broke. I would be surprised if anyone else saved one. (Billy and Lee were at the premiere and signed my program, but I figured the cookies were even more rare.) |

In Brasil, the Phantom is usually red. This figure came out when the movie came out, I have both red and purple versions, but the red version on a cardboard with a purple Phantom illustration seemed unusual. |

This little wrist toy has a tiny flying saucer that is launched by a spring. The art looks like it's swiped from Bill Lignante's illustrations. |

This is a life-cast of Billy Zane's head with mask and cowl. (no tattoos) |

This is a ring just like Billy
wore in the movie. It looks like the Granny May rings, but it's the real
thing...silver with a closed back. I would never have gotten it or the
life cast without the kindness of Matt Britton who was responsible for
the costume. (Watch for an upcoming article on rings by Pete Klaus.) |

These are casts of the Phantom's head by Charlee Flatt showing the evolution of his design. |

This is the movie standee. Mine is still in the box. It's 10 feet tall with UV lights inside and lots of skulls. This is from a photograph from George Olesen who has one too. |
