Biker Scout Unpainted First Shot Head & Torso
Although this unpainted first shot does not exhibit appendages, it's no less interesting given the purpose it served. Limbs were not needed since this, and other head/torso combinations from the find, were used as head pull tests. This Biker Scout surfaced as part of a significant find in 2001 which contained a number of first shot heads and torsos amongst other rarities. As you'll notice, the torso is cast in a non-production color. Additionally, the torso has not undergone the sonic welding process.

A number of other figural Biker Scout prototypes, including an unpainted hardcopy, painted hardcopy, and complete unpainted first shot may be viewed here.
