Prototype Ghost Hammerhead

[Lionel]

Here it is, the Ghost Hammerhead. I used sun light to do those photos, because the flash hides all the white details.







First thing we can see, the parts are not fitting well at all. If I wanted to make it stand, I would have to glue everything (which I don't want). It is in fact one of the very first mold here.







Some close up.





A close up on the nose, where you can see a lot of details are missing, compared to the actual product (you can check on your Hammerheads).





I tryed to show you a problem on the neck. The two body halves can't close, because one or two parts don't have the good shape. I should really find my Hammerhead to do a real comparison, in hands.





Another close up on an unfinished mold. The guns are missing some minor details too.

I'm happy with this, even if it is not standing at all, and staying in a bag. It is more than a test shot, it the test for the very first mold done of Hammerhead, after it was retooled to fix the several problems.

Wow, that's a great find. I'm guessing this is legitimately a prototype casting that you managed to acquire! I really like the look, "ghost" or not... I miss the unified Helic color scheme. The white-gray would be a good one to run with for a while.

Great pics, too!

More photos.

The part that really change is the upper part of the head, you will see
a lot of differences with the actual toy.



The nose, where you can see, the final details weren't done.



Another change : the grey part on the head. It is not finished too on
the prototype.



The biggest change : the attach is not the same at all, and I
understand better why I couldn't close the two body halves. The attach
is lower on the prototype, and wasn't fitting at all. A mistake that
was changed after.
