What is publicly documented

Development storySy Snootles and the Rebo Band — Protomolded Figures is a piece of the toy before the finished toy existed.

How to identify itProtomolded/internal-first-shot figures cast in production-like but non-production plastics; hand-painted decoration; glued and sanded torsos rather than sonic-welded production assembly. Max Rebo is dark blue; Droopy McCool uses shiny production-like plastic; Sy Snootles has a hard yellow torso with lighter rubbery limbs/head and black rather than production-blue eyes. Sy’s limb material contains visible air holes.
