Two figures produced in apparently extremely limited quantities -- presumably as production samples for retail -- after being shown in Mattel's 1988 catalog.
This figure appears to be a limited production sample that was never actually released. The carded figure has appeared on eBay more than once and can be viewed at Captain Power Lives!
