"First shots are among the very first plastic figures to come from the steel molds.
Typically they are characterized by their lack of dates on the legs and their sometimes unusual coloring.

Front shot of the first shot and a production figure. The production figure is the one on the left holding the gun.
You can see that there is some differences in the paint sheme when comparing the two figures.

Comparison of the feet
This is a close-up shot of the feet. You can see that the first shots feet are painted with a yellow-greenish color.
The production figure doesn't have paint under the feet. I don't know why the paint is there though.
