Test Shot Prototype - Major Bludd



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 lack a date stamp until the production run begins.

Pictured above is most likely a test shot of Major Bludd (1994). The figure is unpainted and there is no date stamp.

Note that only the head, torso, and arms are depicted. Like many of Hasbro's later action figures, the 1994 Major Bludd re-used another existing mold for it's legs, so they're not pictured above.
