Author Topic: Phantoms for new colours - The Usual Suspects (Read 38399 times)

Some of you saw the postman thread a while ago with the Orange Phantoms. I've finally had an excuse to pick up the new colour types from Cundco, so I could do some side-by-side shots with the originals.

Forgive my lighting - I was just using my camera phone under a house-hold bulb, but it gives you a pretty good idea.

I ordered them from a contact on BGG a few months ago; he's been prototyping some acrylic casts; so it's likely they will improve the in the future.

Some of the differences in colour are quite subtle, I can certainly see a few heads being scratched when playing with both colours at the same time. Greys/Purples/Blacks and Pinks and Reds end up being very similar when put side by side.

Originals:

New Colours:
Pink, Brown, Orange, White, Purple

Grey & Purple:

The lighting doesn't really show off the deep purple here - but I think it could work better swapped over.

Black & White:

This has quite a nice effect, the White Phantom is much more see through but still have a ghostly sheen.

Pink & Red:

This is quite subtle and the out of focus doesn't help, but looking at the tiles in the background there's definitely a paler red.

I've invited the creator here to let you know a bit more. I'm hoping he sees the positive feedback and shares some of his other creations with us too

Of course I want them too.

Oh man these are excellent! I'd love to get my hands on a set.

I would love a set of white and purple, too. (This are the 7th and 8th colour, I own.) Well, I think, too, the purple suits well the original one intended for gray, so I would need white and gray.

Wow! I want some of these, too. You did a great job, Decar! Thank you for finding that producer. I'd be in if we placed a collective order.

Halfling · « **Reply #11 on:** November 02, 2015, 11:16:52 PM »

Great news that these could become available. I would like to buy white, pink & grey.

Thanks for inviting me here, Decar! Carcassonne got me into modern boardgames.

I just wanted to say a quick hello and to let those interested know that I'll be dyeing more stock (meeples) tonight, after which I will take some pictures to share here and for marketplace listings, links to which I'll also post here.

Thanks for your patience and interest!
