That theme was so 80’s my jeans went from regular to stone washed !!!

[@jasonramsingh9947]

I remember watching this as an 11 year old back in 1985 on our one and only TV Station on the island of Trinidad. Back then, DOE was part of an all star Saturday morning cartoon block that ran from 8-11am. Those were the good old days that had children's shows that were far better than the junk of today that is playing a key part in corrupting young minds.

In 1980s, in India there wasn't a team of these super heroes. Phantom was a separate comic , and mandrake hojo and lothar was different comic. No flash gorden etc were ever released.

Aaah. I remember this cartoon so well. One of my favourites. I tried reading the comics online of each character online and the only one that stuck was "The Phantom" still my favourite to this day.

Phantom is number one, Mandrake second and Flash number three

[@kaydeans.4227]

Brings back great memories. I feel like a child again

[@sirkiljaoswindmane8901]

To my knowledge this show was never seen here in Finland, which is odd since all these characters, Flash Gordon, Mandrake, Lothar and especially The Phantom have always been very well known here, and we would had loved to see this show back in the day. The toys based on this show were released here though and me and my brothers had almost all of them. It is great to see this show here now, and with it's style and characters still fills me with nostalgia!

[@milesr4609]

Go Kimi!!! And Nightwish!!!

[@MyranStack]

I agree that it's odd. These characters are popular in Sweden as well and, though I'm not sure if this show was broadcast on any TV channel, the episodes were collected on rental VHS cassettes. It seems strange that noone took the opportunity to do the same in Finland.

[@jaygamer2474]

I like the fact that they made the animation really good and it just brings back such a memory

[@kuahmelallah]

Before the time that AKOM took over animation duties. They were foisted on Transforners at first, with GI Joe and everything else spared. AKOM is considered pretty decent animating Simpsons.

[@paulcoy9060]

Sorry, I'm calling out Lothar at 2 minutes. "It sounds like science fiction." Dude, there is a smoking ruin of a starship in your front yard! You live with a guy who does real magic! The writers should have the kid say that, and then Lothar should say, "Well, Kashin, there are many things I have seen. This would not be impossible."

So cool watching this show again. The funny thing is sing this theme song and others in my head from time to time. From 3 to 6 after school was great growing up, this show and many others made for a fun afternoon watching cartoons especially in the winter when the days were short. So much fun!!!👍👍👍

When I was a kid, I thought this was a sequel to the Filmation Flash Gordon series.

[@joshuastevenjeffreys]

I remember a movie where Billy Zane played the Phantom. There was this scene where the phantom is firing two pistols at once and crosses his arms while firing. That stuck with me visually.

[@SaitohYatate]

That movie was ahead of its time. It was too soon for audiences to be open to the idea of superhero movies like The Phantom and The Shadow. Same thing happened in Hong Kong with Black Mask (the Jet Li movie).
