Action figures usually start as "Hard Copies". These models are used to create the molds, that are used to press out a run of "First shots" or "Test shots". These test shots are done in many different colors and lack a date stamp until the production run begins.

Pictured above is an unpainted test shot of the 1982 straight-arm Stalker. There is no date stamp on the figure.

Pictured above is a hand-crafted Stalker with swivel-arm battle grip. Note that metal tubing has been used in place of the standard rivets. Also, the camouflage is hand-painted and the upper arms do not have the pockets of the production version.
