Ultra Rare Dalek Prototype (ebay listing)
Ever wondered what figures look like when the moulds are first “tested”…
Classic dalek prototype/first shot.
All toys go through a first shot phase, this is where it is run in the new moulds with any colour plastic the factory has to hand. This is to test the fit and the detail of the mould. First shots are very rare and very sought after by collectors who know their stuff.
Bid now to secure your chance to get this amazing figure.
You can see the listing at www.ebay.co.uk

October 20th, 2014 - 1:26pmHow do you know this is a genuine article….?? Seems like a hell of a lot of money for some poorly caste dalek which looks like a hotch potch of other pieces …..

October 20th, 2014 - 1:36pmwouldn’t be on here if it wasn’t
when they test the moulds they use whatever colour plastic is lying around

October 20th, 2014 - 1:57pmActually thinking about it while you say thats a genuine item …how do you know…The ebay listing has nothing to say where its come from or how its got to be up for sale no cerificate of authenticity nothing…Unless you actually work for the company or got additional info from the eprson who listed it which convinced you…

October 20th, 2014 - 2:05pmbecause i have followed this seller for months and so have many other people
they have sold numerous pre production figures in the same style, not just Daleks but monsters and companions
the items are exactly how the moulds are tested to see if everything “fits” and people who buy them would know that
they have had the 3.75″chase figures before they came to market and other items
only someone connected to the trade could have access to such items
just look at the sellers feedback and you can see for yourself the items that have been previously sold

That’s crazy for a collect and build figure

September 28th, 2014 - 1:52pmThat is a little steep for a figure that only came out about five years ago. If anything I would sell it for the price of each individual figure that the parts came with so I would say about £40-£50 for the figure.

September 27th, 2014 - 5:27pmNice piece for someone who owns something purely for its rarity. Certainly something to boast about. I wouldn’t get it even if it was a normal figure’s price, but that’s just me.
