Description:
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 Sneak Peek. There is no
date stamp on the figure. What is more interesting is that while most
of the figure is in non-production colors, he has the forearms of Cross
Country (1986) and the production color biceps of Outback
(1987).
