[QUOTE="olisuds, post: 454049, member: 2119"] Most prototypes wouldn't have COO markings present however quite a few ROTJ wave first shots do seem to have copyright markings present. I think if you wanted to classify them as a first shot they'd have to be molded or painted in non production colours. Some others have non production colour accessories and soft goods but the figures are otherwise production like. I think it would be a stretch to call them first shots. Probably more appropriate to call them pre production samples. Several of the 77 back wave characters are particularly interesting because they have the unproduced Hong Kong copyright marking. Some of them are perhaps easier to spot because they have other non production attributes or can be found as carded samples on a different characters card from a previous wave. It's a strange anomaly that suggests some of the ROTJ figure molds may have had the copyright marking added before they were shipped to the orient. First shots would have been produced at the overseas factories in Asia and most likely sent back to Kenner in the US to check accuracy and functionality of the mold and aesthetics of the figure. At this stage the copyright markings are usually added before going into production. In these cases it seems that they were removed - which is odd. [/QUOTE]
