SurveyFans and their Eriks
The Eriks shown are at last loved for themselves. Another 150 or so, however face a bleak future of loneliness, discomfort and isolation from the world, so please consider bringing your Erik home today. Click here to turn the scorpion.
Some fan names have been left out because I haven't obtained permission. Others have been left out because I have to go back through my email and pair up pictures with names. If you see a blank that should have your name (or first initial) in it, please email me. I'd also like to list country or US state, when possible. Thanks!
In late January, Erik finally arrived in Australia!
Erik as you've never seen him before at the home of D. after a shopping trip. Who knew Erik loved rainbows, bling, and shopping? Check out those earrings and wings, everyone!
Uh oh! Fans have reported that Erik has discovered Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to his version of Phantom of the Opera
and is not pleased!
Not just a jumprope... that's a jumprope being made into a Punjab lasso. This happened RIGHT after Erik's discovery of Love Never Dies. Fortunately, Erik's new family was able to convince him not to fly to England to Punjab Webber.
Waiting for Christine, perhaps?

Somewhere in Texas, Erik met up with an alternate universe version of himself, the Universal Pictures (Lon Chaney-based!) plush. Here they attempt to decipher the mystery of...
The Phantom of the Teabag!
As Susan Kay made clear in her 1990 novel about Erik, animals have always been fond of him. Here Erik pets Pete, the dog of his new family.
This cat's name is Kaiser, and even though he's NOT a Siamese, Erik is absolutely convinced he is a descendent of Susan Kay's Ayesha.
Erik meets Ayesha in
Georgia, USA. (And yes, that really is the cat's name.)
Ayesha bathes Erik. (LOL! What could be funnier?)
A few fans have reported that their Eriks are a bit reluctant to get out of the Tyvek envelopes, and a few more have found Erik hiding in a variety of other places once he does emerge. Here, recently out of the envelope, he's nervous to emerge from the bag he was carried home from the post office in. If this happens to you, please exercise extreme patience; Erik has had a hard life.
This Erik's new family has a huge collection of Phantom-related (and other) plush toys. Erik seems to be fit right in!
At the home of his new family in Sweden, Erik enjoys a pizza with a teenaged member of the family. Has he discovered yet that Iron Maiden has an album called The Phantom of the Opera? And what will he think of Iron Maiden's sound?
An elaborate device of torture? Well, not exactly....
Ah ha! Another elaborate device of torture! No, Erik... __ is just making a lace pillow!
