| Rebel Soldier Painted First Shots | |
| The two action figures shown in this entry are painted
first shots. While the first shot on
the left mimics the production figure's paint scheme closely, the figure on the right departs considerably
from its production counterpart. In particular the brown paint used on the legs and head differ in shade.
The face coloration is also different along with the left chest emblem.
Above we see a rear view of both figures. It's not easy to see, but both lack copyright information and country of origin markings.
