Rik Alvarez treated all to a great slideshow of rare Lucky Draw, Prototype, and un-released transformer toys mid-morning. Included in his presentation were some of the following highly sought after figures.
Red Foot G1 Optimus Prime made in France - This figure was similiar to the G1 Prime except for some different paint apps on the head and of course, the signature red feet that made this figure so renowned.
These Headmaster figures were only the heads and were available only in Japan. They can connect to any headmaster body and show increased power levels over the heads released with the figures.
Red Tracks - Netherlands - Rumors have run rampant about a G1 Tracks variant in red. Many have sworn the figure never existed. Rik blew those rumors out of the water with a beautiful picture of Red Tracks that was actually released in the Netherlands.
