Variations


The "skin" of the Crackpot figure released in Japan has a different tone than the one released in the West.

Prototypes

Early pictures in the australian promo comic show a different Crackpot figure than the one that was produced. The Colour was brown with small black dots, like a vulcanic or meteorite structure. The same prototype figure was reused in the Tonka 1986 catalogue, in the picture showing the unproduced Stonehead playset. A very interesting prototype - I don't know why the figure was produced in different colours, because this way the figure looks very good in my view. Probably it would have been too close to Magmar in its colour. An interesting fact in this context is that the japanese filecard lists the body type of "crossrock" to be "space bengala" - and bengala (or "Red Ochre") is a ferrous oxide of red colour (which would be far better suiting to the figure shown on the right than the released toy).
