White Bespin Guard Painted First Shot | |
Although it may look like a normal production
figure, this Bespin Guard is actually a painted
first shot.
The main giveaway that this is a first shot is the lack of copyright information on the back of it's leg. This information would be later directly engraved to each steel mold after shooting a run of first shots to make sure everything was okay with the molds.
An interesting characteristic of this first shot is the fact that it has some sort of yellow paint on the bottom of its feet. This might have been to distinguish it for some reason, or perhaps it has no real significance. |
