Test Shot Prototype - Roadblock



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 made of Roadblock (v2) (1986). The body is molded in several different colors, the entire figure is unpainted, and there is no date stamp.
