Description:

While many of the unproduced items from 1995 were science-fiction in nature (Manimals, Replicators), the line also planned a return to its military roots. Pictured above is the packaging artwork for the Battle Corps Rangers - a subset of G.I.Joe that would be more traditional military in nature.

Pictured above right is the Battle Corps Rangers Flint.

Additional Images:

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 a figure that was planned for production in 1995. The toyline was cancelled, so this figure was never produced. The entire figure is unpainted, and there is no date stamp. Note that the legs and waist were originally used to create Lamprey (1985).

While the figure itself has no name It appears that it may be Battle Rangers Flint as depicted in the artwork above. However, because a defeinite identification of the character did not accompany the figure (nor does it appear on the schematic below), some feel that it could have been another character that could have shared parts with Flint or have had parts that look similar to Flint.

After the original concept art was approved, detailed schematics would be drawn up to be used to create the actual pieces. Pictured above is the schematics artwork for an unnamed figure that would have been released in 1995.

While the schematic is clearly the same figure that appears above, the arms in the schematic appear to be different.
