Offered here is an exceptional hand-painted resin hardcopy prototype of Antrax, the mutant executioner from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line, produced by Playmates in 1991. This hand-painted hardcopy would have been used for internal review and presentation purposes during development of the final figure.

Key Features:
    •    Cast in resin and fully pinned for articulation, allowing for poseability during design evaluation
    •    Hand-painted in an alternate color scheme, differing from the final production deco—likely used to explore alternate paint directions or early concept styling
    •    Sculpt detail is crisp and highly defined, typical of hardcopies made from early-stage molds before final plastic production
    •    No production markings, typical of pre-tooled figures used for design team feedback or promotional review

Hardcopies like this are extremely limited and rarely leave the studio environment. The presence of an alternate paint scheme makes this an especially desirable piece for prototype collectors, offering a glimpse into a path not taken in the figure’s final release.

A standout artifact from the golden era of TMNT toys—perfect for collectors who appreciate the early-stage artistry behind the figures.
