This is my most recent SMDM action figure purchase.
It is an extremely rare Proto type leisure suit that was created by Kenner in 1976. As far as I am aware this is the only known original in a private collection.
This would be considered a first stage cut and sew as evidenced by some of the hand finishing and no tags from an external maker. I was able to confirm this as an original based on the photographs with a friend who is a former designer on this toyline.
I found this particular item on eBay of all places and and thrilled to finally add one to my collection. The photographs are from the auction and once I have the figure in hand I'll be sure to post better pictures. I've only seen this outfit in a photograph of a salesman sample brochure dated from 1976.
