I think 3-4 people may have examples, but it's FDO today. People are away.

obtained by Price at Funko headquarters from Brian. These are test pieces. The hair in each is painted. At the time Funko was trying to decide on a hair color for Syndrome.

So just the hair is hand painted? Did they just paint over the production hair or are those preproduction pieces? Either way, very cool that you have those in your collection. He is one of the cooler Disney pops.

they were a test run and apparently either Brian or Disney did not like the hair color so these two hand painted pieces were going to decide what color to go with.
