New receiving -- just picked these up at my local post office. WWF Hasbro Sample Test Shot Prototypes of Jimmy Snuka, Ricky Steamboat, British Bulldog & Rick Rude. Included a few comparison shots, with each figure next to their production figure. Few differences...Jimmy Snuka's mold is entirely different, it's not the same kind of plastic. His skin tone is also much lighter.
British Bulldog has a different paint app, most noticeably with his eyes and shoelaces -- also notice the different #2 stamp on the bottom of his boot. Ricky Steamboat has painted shoelaces and there is no 2 stamped on the bottom of his boot like the production version.
Rick Rude -- I don't have his figure so I can't compare but he feels similar to Snuka. Let me know if you guys spot any other differences that I haven't picked up on. Also, Rude has some glue residue at the bottom of his feet, hinting that these all may have been used for advertisements.
These were all previously acquired by Zack Ryder from the former Ex-Hasbro employee who had sold him the giant WWF Hasbro Lot. Very happy to add these to my collection. Here are the pics....
