How come the non painted first shot has a U grade? did it come off a sample card or something?
Christian said:Vernon - superb preproduction collection of a great character - I especially like the Alternate Paint Scheme FS.
Ben - as for the unpainted FS - there are few bagged examples around so I suspect that at some stage this one was taken from a baggie:

Still a great piece for sure.
All the best.

Ha. No accusation or disproval there mate. I was genuinely curious. I think Christian hit the nail on the head though.
It poses an interesting question though. Is it wrong to remove an unpainted first shot from a baggie? Now, I would consider it to be an important piece in the pre prod and development of a figure, and as we know first shots were never meant to be available to the general public, so would have only been sealed in the baggie for internal posting. Would there be any difference in removing it from the baggie or removing it from an envelope?
What would peoples thoughts be on this?
