Cool! Those are unpainted production figures as far as I know. However the Trunks with blue arms sure is weird! That Trunks figure did not have painted arms when released, they were skin colored plastic, so that sure is weird. Sometimes people call those test shots. I don't really know the purpose of them. Sometimes they could be for testing the mold and other times they are simply figures pulled from the production line before paint has been applied. TheCollector has a lot of those figures. |

The Yamcha is the earliest production piece. Most are samples. The Gotenks (yellow face) may be a test shot. The more coloring, the later in production they are. All white figures are also samples. It's all based on what colors they have. The Gotenks is a sample, non-factory colors. They should have the factory logo stamped on them. If you know what's stamped on them I may be able to label them better.

Just be careful if you are looking at "prototype" figures on ebay, especially if they are coming from China. There have been many instances, recently, of factory workers or bootleggers just running some new figures in miscoloured and cheap plastic and calling them prototypes.

awesome thanks for the replies, Im from Australia but all the figures came from USA, but they all have license stamps on there feet ill try get a close up photo for you TheCollector.SS3 Gotenks has ©02B.S./S.T.A on one foot and on other has licensed by FUN.®Irwin.China.other figures have pretty similar stamps The gotenks, ss3 gotenks and yamcha have the same makings on them like a fault or design alteration mark, looks like a z or a 2. Branjita I'm thinking the trunks may be one from the energy glow series where they stand on the rock and hair lights up?   sorry bout the photos but you can see here the markings on gotenks heads and just see a mark on yamchas white vest. |

The Yamcha came from China originally. I only say that because, I know the artist that had it. I'll have to dig out my Gotenks and see if, it matches.
Are you one of the dbz card collectors? Just wondering because, there's a ton of card collectors there. I'd like to see them switch to figures.
