Kalibak's Boulder Bomber Prototype

 


This is a very rough early prototype of Kalibak's vehicle. Kalibak himself went through a metamorphosis between the initial hardcopy and his final production figure.

These pictures shown the immense amount of planning and testing that went into each design for going into full production. It also shows why we're still finding unproduced pieces after all these years. It's a shame that Kenner did not feel the need to catalog or save these items, as countless untold prototypes for Super Powers, Star Wars, and other lines are probably lost forever. Only the odd pieces saved by the designers themselves have shown up. Most of what you're seeing in these presentations are pictures of the items taken by Kenner at the time for internal use, not the items themselves, which most likely no longer exist.
