Phantom Merchandise - Monkeys of Melbourne plates

Monkey's of Melbourne was a company who hand made and also mass manufactured comic and cartoon character collectibles. They were based in Fitzroy and were around (as far as I know) from about the mid eighties until the late nineties. Nowadays their products are in high demand with collectors, especially their diverse range of glasses, and their handmade porcelain and china products.

I have slowly accumulated some of their products, over the years.

This is a Phantom tray which is approximately 20cm wide, and shows the Phantom's fist, about to land a blow on a roughneck.



Made in 1990, handpainted. Monkeys were licensed to produce Phantom products, and they had a fantastic range. I am always on the lookout for more.

They pop up on Ebay all the time, the glasses go for astonishing amounts of money with glass collectors.

I have a full head and shoulders handpainted phantom light by these guys! Wondering how much it's worth?
