That looks more like a knockoff than a protoype. Aren't test shots all the same color?

Trying to remember what I paid for my Cerebros figure. I'd like to know what the reserve is.

No, Test Shots are whatever color plastic is closest at hand at the time, and sometimes are a mix of colored and transparent plastics.

... I think?

Smart of headmasters to advertise their speed strength and
intelligence on the chest for all the world to see!

Oh wait.. least Fort gots it under his chest plate after all. =)

The colours on test shots depend on a lot of things. The early ones will be almost random as far ascolours go (though these days they tend to be a unioform random colour). Later ones will generally be almost the same as the actual release version.

As for this, I would have no way of knowing if it is or isnt. What I do know is it's not for me thanks.
