It would be interesting to know if that is the only pair of stripey sheers ever released - or if Hasbro did indeed release a small handful of Brutus MOCS with striped scissors.
to the best of my knowledge - this is the only piece I have ever seen - I wasn't even aware of Brutus having different scissors until I saw this thread - like someone has said, it really is amazing that after all these years (25+ years later) we are still finding different things out about these hasbros (alternate attires, rare weapon accessories, e.t.c...)
just when you think you have learned it all about them - another mega rare piece pops up lol.....

I wouldn't call this the rarest Hasbro figure. It's cool, but I never understood the hype for figure variants. No different than LJN's Jimmy Hart -- some figures have hearts on the Megaphone others don't. It'd be amazing if the figure had a completely different pose or prop or anything, but a simple color addition is meh. I'm afraid I'm not collector enough to be amazed by this.

I'm going to have a fellow board member upload pics Rudat had sent me years ago of some proto pieces. Some of these are in collectors hands, but not all as far as I know.

It'd be amazing if the figure had a completely different pose or prop or anything, but a simple color addition is meh. I'm afraid I'm not collector enough to be amazed by this. This isn't a typical "variant" per say. This is a pre-production version of the figure that was never released. This is way beyond a jimmy Hart paint application level of rarity. This was never mass produced or released to the public, making it quite possibly the only one in existence. We're approaching almost 3 decades since this line first came to be. It's pretty cool to see that there are still some uncovered gems out there. |

I'm not judging. I'm the same way. But it's obsessiveness like this that makes people look at us and think we're weirdos. I mean, such a small variation in a figure has people acting as though they found life on another planet. But again, I do the exact same $h!+

It's not the fact that we are grown men collecting 4 inch plastic dolls of half naked men who fake fight each other.  |

Cool! I wonder how many of those drawings are of unreleased figures, or released figures with different details/bodies.

I wonder if in a few years time somebody will find some alternate Frankie's (Koko B.Ware's parrot) somebody has a slightly unusual parrot, the wings will be a slightly different colour for example lol.
