I am the proud owner of a full Phantom tea service - as a lad I always wanted a genuine skull ring - ordered one off the back of a comic, I received a rubber stamp ring, major disappointment.

The rubber one allowed you to ink up on the school stamp pad and then proceed to put the Phantom's "good sign" in appropriate places such as the school dunnies and outside the staff room, Possum.
After I gave that version a good work out I saved up and got the top model. It had eyes that would glow in the dark. This fabulous merchandise was all purchased by filling out the form on the back of the comic and sending it off with a postal note for about five bob.
Who can forget the great man starting the Jungle Olympics by pole vaulting over the fire pit, being married by two presidents, the Jungle Patrol, leaving the jungle and ordering milk in some waterfront bar and being rough on roughnecks.
Looking back I think he had some serious issues in relation to pirates and imagine the hemorrhoids from sitting on that rock throne in the Skull Cave for years on end.
They just don't make them like that anymore!

I also was the proud owner of the 2 Phantom rings, particularly the one with red eyes which glowed on the dark, supposedly. The rubber stamp ring was a bit of a disappointment in that it did not leave the required imprint on my brother's jaw when I tried it out. I think as young lads we were all a bit infatuated with Diana, particularly in her jungle attire, and who could forget those Old Jungle Sayings, ie 'When Phantom speaks whole jungle listens'.
