What is publicly documented

Development storyDengar Unpainted First Shot comes from the moment when a Kenner design had already moved beyond sculpting and into actual injection tooling. First shots were working test pieces: they let the development team see whether the molds functioned correctly before normal colors, decoration and full production took over. Unpainted first shots represent test-stage molded figures made before normal production decoration and final retail release. Documented development stages: Unpainted first shot.
