B-Wing Pilot Protomolded Figure
This is an internal first shot of the B-Wing Pilot figure. It was injected molded in-house at Kenner using white plastic and low yield aluminum molds. Internal first shots differ in a number of ways from standard first shots, which are generally produced by overseas vendors.

You might have already noticed that the right arm of this figure appears somewhat different than it does on the production figure. Specifically, it's bent inward towards the body. Compare it to the arm of the standard B-Wing Pilot first shot seen here.

Here are the bottoms of the feet. You'll notice there are no holes. This is typical of internal first shots.
