I have seen some obscure stuff and I've also collected international figures for some time too, but I've never seen anything like these. Maybe they were stolen prototypes from Hasbro?

I doubt these are official. This says it all:
Quote:
They have the original date stamp of 1984, and they are also composed of the same hard plastic mixture from the eighties. The thumbs don't flex like the last ARAH figs. The hands and faces also have the better, tighter detailing from the 80's figures that was lost in the 1998 and up ARAH line.

I can't stand chrome.
Nice things to add to the collection. I just think they're ugly as hell (which isn't to say that I wouldn't add a rare thing like that to my collection, just wouldn't display 'em)

I know the originals were cast in white plastic. These, like said aren't. The seller even says they are an unofficial release. I just thought it was a cool grab even if they are ugly as hell.

Nice pickup, I'm sure they had to con exclusive mockups sinc they have the foam insert just like other con sets. Thanks for the review!

Pry the same guy who is making tons of bootleg vintages. First the cobra trooper 83 showing up mint by the 100's then bootleg storm shadow mints popping up everywhere with red flag rivets, now these bad boys show up. Someone has these molds making bootlegs!!!

Interesting.
These guys look like extras from the "mirror" scene at the end of Conan The Destroyer. |
