15816 was a one-off painted prototype. This red one was the original factory prototype; Jeff and Walter have the only two. I would be interested to know what color 15816 was before it was painted. Which officially makes me a Greasebat nerd.
Hey! Original prototype or master was made with supersculpey firm and soft ( the pink and the grey one) so the color was a mix of that... saying that i dont recommend sculpey to make the master sculpt for production toys... ( i did same mistake again with Gary Ham next toy)

Generally 2 test pulls/prototypes are made.... so I would say the painted one is either a white or another red from the test pulls?
Interesting stuff!

Chauskoskis is correct, this is the first test pull/ vinyl prototype. It's sort of a washed out red color in real life. Only two made.
