I got a job lot of LJN's a while ago and received this with it. I just came across it whilst finding figures to sell or trade and I vaguely remember there being a Bret in red or talk of one as a prototype and just wondered if this was the neidhart or if its custom etc. I would of thought if it was custom then they would of surely touched it all up rather then just the tights?   |

You have it in hand, so you should be the best judge around. I have seen the Hitman prototype on eBay and it does have a more reddish color to his tights.
From the picture it does appear as if the Anvil has been painted over as especially the black kneepads look more glossy.
I own a Jimmy Hart prototype. It is made from cast resin and is slightly bigger than the regular version. I was told that the rubber shrinks a little bit after molding and obviously resin does not.
Is your figure made of rubber or cast resin?
Btw.... If I remember correctly you posted the same question a few years back.

It seems completely rubber (but I have no experience with the material resin) and all of the paint is as of the same consistency and gloss/shine in person. Thinking about it I actually did ask you before STOM via PM and meant to send you pics but never got around to it. |

Resin is a hard plastic type material with no give, It looks like your figure is made of rubber. If you dare... you can scratch a very tiny area under the kneepad line and see if it's purple/pink. If it was custom painted then the color should show up, (it's almost impossible to erase the paint around the ridges under the kneepad) + majority of custom paint jobs can be scratched very easily. If you see purple/pink then you know it's been custom painted, if not then there is a great chance it's authentic. But I don't recall the ljn prototypes/test shots being made of rubber. Good luck finding out.

Look on Ebay under "Brett Hitman Hart LJN Wrestling Figure PROTOTYPE". The one listed is broken in a few places, but still color matches the one in your photo.
