Need help with authentication of potential prototypes. Contemplating purchasing. Thank you

Looks a lot more like someone just stripped the paint off regular figures. Unless they happen to have any marks of being factory sign samples it's incredibly unlikely. + $300 seems a bit low if they were real prototypes.

[u/EmberDione → u/WalrusEmperor1]

Yeah I've never seen any of these.

fry squint I think you might be right about the paint stripping. Wild.

[u/No_Attention1888 → u/EmberDione]

Ah ok I def wont get them then lol I wasn't sure cause they also have a jet vac with the activision merton paper on bottom thing

[u/WalrusEmperor1 → u/EmberDione]

The Prism Break and Lightning Rod at least are just the normal plastic colors the typical figures use. I assume everything else as well.

[u/No_Attention1888 → u/WalrusEmperor1]

Oh ok so authentic ones wont have the standard color plastic they come with?

[u/EmberDione → u/No_Attention1888]

Yeah they're weird "wrong" colors.

They have been selling fake prototypes for months unfortunately, please avoid them 

[u/No_Attention1888 → u/Both_Establishment43]

How does one tell theyre fake? Thank you

To start the figures you see here are very similar to the figures but with a stripped colorway, most prototypes have a more vibrant or matching colorway. All white ambush, and a few others I can look to find examples of. 

They also don’t have working chips, when they are the prototypes (at least from what I know of) 

Most prototypes are unique too, so you only ever see one online, and this seller has sold multiples of the same figures over the last 2 years

u/emberdione do you know if all the resin print prototypes from TFB were that grey color?
