Test Shot Prototype - General Flagg

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 a test shot of General Flagg (1992). His body is molded in several colors, the head is in tan, and the entire figure is unpainted. There is no date stamp on the figure.
