Is it just me or do they look more like custom figures than prototypes? The Great Saiyaman looks like the top half of the figure is series 11 SS Gohan in Kai outfit, while the bottom half of the figure looks to be from the series 7 Great Saiyaman. And the entire figure looks repainted, including the face and hair. The SS Goku’s neck looks deformed. It looks like the head is sitting on a circular piece of plastic and then the ring of plastic is resting on the body. Also I can’t really tell if it has arm articulation but the arms look exactly the the ones on the series 3 Future Trunks. The head is the same one that was on the series 5 SS Goku. As for the body it could have came from another figure line other than DBZ. The regular Goku there appears to be the SZF Goku just with holes in the hands so he could hold on energy ball from another figure. Also if he doesn’t have the action from the SZF Goku it may be because the head and arms were removed from a SZF Goku and moved to a series 4 Goku.
Well, it’s possible Irwin was planning them out using pieces they already had. It’s almost like they were customizing to plan out their figures.
