Description:

Pictured above is a prototype version of Guile (1993) as the figure appeared in the 1994 yearly insert catalog. It uses the head of Bulletproof (1992) and the body of Sgt Slaughter (1985).

Additional Images:

This version of Guile also appeared in a Hasbro product catalog.

After molds were created and/or assembled, they would be used to press out a run of "First shots" or "Test shots". These test shots were done in many different colors and lacked a date stamp until the production run began. Pictured above is a Guile test shot that is unpainted.

As something of a mystery, pictured above is another version of Guile as he appeared in a 1994 Hasbro product catalog. Advertising the non-G.I.Joe Street Fighter The Movie figures, this prototype Guile has a very similar paint sheme and lacks an o-ring construction. This figure stands as a strange prototype due to the unlikelihood that Hasbro would have released another figure with the same paint scheme. It should also be noted that some of the Street Fighter The Movie prototypes did make use of the G.I.Joe logo. While the head pictured is the same sculpt as the G.I.Joe release of Guile (1993), the body pictured was used to create the two-pack version of Colonel Guile (1994).
