Wow. Never seen that before - best guess right now is it is from another toy line hasbro re-used/licensed the mold, or possibly one of the Funskool variants, as Eels was released in India by Funskool and they are notorious for off coloured variants like this

That is an honest curiosity.

It looks like a prototype/test run figure, or a dollar store knock off. Does the plastic feel solid or flimsy? Is there flash (extra plastic) anywhere on the sides or seems?

Either way, it's not something that you see every day.

After asking a few folks who are protoype/test shot aficionados, the consensus that is most probable - is that it is a prototype/test shot for the eventual production item.

To me, that makes it a VERY cool piece.

To be sure - any of the late 90's stuff in prototype is pretty interesting to obtain. You really lucked out on that parts lot...

That is not Funskool. Those mixed up colours are found for a figure test shot.
