Description:

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 first shot of Destro (2002) that has been painted with primer.

Additional Images:

Earlier images of Destro depicted the figure without Cobra logos and with silver shoulders.
