The very first step in creating action figures involved pen-ink drawings.
If these drawings passed, they'd be colored in and color schemes would
be proposed.
Pictured above is the black and white pen-ink art that was used for
Barbecue (1992). It was eventually
modified and colored in as pictured below.
Additional Images:
Pictured above is a preproduction version of Barbecue that appeared
in a Hasbro product catalog. While the figure is essentially the same
as the one produced, it appears that the visor was reworked to fit properly
before production began.
