The Phantom Phan Club of Australia

Some of the documentation received as a member of the Phantom Phan Club in the nineties.

Phantom Merchandise - Monkeys Of Melbourne Lamp

Monkeys produced this stunning, hand painted lamp, for several years from the late eighties to the early nineties. They pop up on Ebay, look up the user id Monkeys of Melbourne as the gentleman who has that, used to own Monkeys.

The eyes light up - people generally used red globes to light them. We're going to put some LEDs in it.

This has to be the best piece Monkey's made, and the best Phantom merchandise I've ever seen.




A utter favourite; I lusted after this back in the early nineties but couldn't afford it. But we recently found this specimen on Ebay. A treasured part of my Phantom collection.

Phantom Merchandise - Monkeys of Melbourne glass

One of the glasses Monkeys of Melbourne made. They also had another design, using an image of The Phantom from the 40's, which I also used to own until it was accidentally broken.



This shows both sides of the glass. Monkeys made a large range of cartoon and comic book character glasses, which are now in high demand with glass collectors. The glasses are about 15cm high and very solid, a lovely glass to use and hold.

Phantom Merchandise - Monkeys of Melbourne mugs

Monkeys also made coffee/tea mugs. These were mass manufactured, and complemented the trays as they used similar art work.

Phantom Merchandise - Monkeys of Melbourne trays

Three Phantom ash trays/trays from Monkeys of Melbourne.






This has a slight flaw it in made during the manufacturing process







I believe these were made to be used as ash trays but how could you stub your cigarette out on the Phantom? They're merely decorative for me.

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.
