that is a very good question. Some figure that was produced but never released? But a figure of what, i have no idea. More than 10 available so not a custom.

Yea, its really weird, looks like the a free falling german paratrooper??? looks very weird... I like the list you posted Normandy, some are very funny, the US paratroopers have stg44s and some of them have modern machine guns :P

I have bought from this guy before, hes not very nice, you have to really fight him to give you combined shipping, he did for me but it took 2 weeks of waiting and negotiations.... :roll:

The 1st figure looks like a XD F-86 pilot body with a mismatched/transplanted head. The head looks to be the same as the Wehrmacht Rifleman Bruno Bauer. This figure had an extra head for a prone pose.

What seems to be going on here are some bootleg copies of XD figures. Some factory in HK/China has some prototypes (probably copies too), made a bunch of these randomly and ebay resellers packages them carded or loose as they please. Notice most of them has mismatched weapons, limbs, heads, missing helmets, etc

There has been a lot of bootlegs figures on ebay for a while, Joe, SW, Military, Indiana Jones, Marvel...

i wonder if these figures are just bits and pieces of other figures that have been lying around and someone figured they'd stick them together and try to sell them. Novel idea, i guess. I wonder if he'll have success.

I don't know Razor, I have my doubts. Scroll down to description.....
(the Proto Link) "By JS International & 21st Toys; The leg is marked "JS International".
If these are truly series 1 21st prototypes JSI should not be on the figures at all.
If these are JSI's why would they need prototypes?? There must be a million + 21st figures around the world
they could have looked at. :? maybe they just put their name on 21st molds.
Who knows????

21c F-86 Pilot body, 21c Bruno Bauer head, MP-40 from somewhere (could either be 21c or Bravo Team). Just a mishmash of parts that doesn't look very good.
