In Topic: Errors

Today, 08:17 AM

Here's a pretty cool error I haven't seen too often with the 1995 figures: Ro without a Skybox card. This is kind of a cool look because it opens up the art on the backer card.

 

The 1995 line did not have Skybox card errors too often, but there were a good number of figures that were on the wrong backer card. 

 

I haven't seen many Ro figures overall with any kind of error.

They should just let an eBay store list it in some large lots. Somebody might actually get a good deal on there for once.

Commander William Riker pre-production paint proof (1992)

 

This one is from the Greg Jein collection, and it's Riker from his bodybuilder days. This one is hand-painted, as you can see, and it has a bit of a matte finish, in comparison to the shiny production figures.

 

It doesn't have a holster on the right leg. One of these proof figures, perhaps this one, is on the back of the 1992 figures in the pictures. On the back of the package it is also without a holster as pictured there, even though the production figures have them. 

 

If you look at the figures on the back of the 1992 packaging (and later for that matter) it's clear that they're hand painted, and the paint finish is quite different from the production figures.

Here's a good example of the Dark Torso/Light Sleeves Spock. Got this one recently, and was really surprised by how vividly this example illustrates the dark torso aspect. This is definitely not the lilac-colored torso, as you can see, but a darker and spotted torso

 

This one is numbered just north of 12000.

The sculpt quality is pretty amazing, I have to say. Especially on Scotty.

 

Kirk looks great too, a bit above what PM was able to achieve with their recent sculpts. 

 

I want more characters from Hiya, lots more.
