[QUOTE="Bonsai_Tree_Ent, post: 496623, member: 3845"] Hello boys, and thanks for sharing the link and details. I would have put them on here yesterday but it was a busy one! Like pretty much all of the regulars here I have a good expertise and first hand knowledge of vintage collecting, but prototypes are a bit more niche and I only really know about them from listening to bits and bobs on the Vintage Rebellion and a few pics in books... so to have Roger Morrison come in last week and hand me these hardcopies was quite a thrill. The weight, the detail and solidity of them is noticeably different to regular plastic figures. I've called them 'Palitoy Prototypes' but really they're Kenner made hardcopies that were sent to England as tooling aids - so I guess they're a bit of both. It was also a privilege to listen to Roger and Bob reminiscing and laughing about 'the old days'. If any of you guys want to check the hardcopies out they're on display now at Rothley House in Coalville Business Park till Nov 10th (open from 10.30am free to visit), and next Saturday there will even be a Q+A from 5pm with Bob Brechin, Roger Morrison and at least two other former Palitoy workers.
