Actually scratch that. It was just 2 - the different faces as shown in the above photos. ---

But I have the Recessed Cup Proto and it has a step before the flat part of the cup? :thinking: ---

Here is what the Store listing looked like that day: Format:C Gen 2 Recessed Cup Proto: 63.10 grams so it’s heavier than the released version by 1.7 grams. The floor of the cup is stepped down a bit. Format:C Gen 2 Flat Face Protp: 61.8 grams so it’s only .4 grams heavier than the released version. The outer face is flat instead of angled in. Still Rollin Heavy: This has a 1 gram heavier base weight than the released version. ---

Dang, the poor dude ordered a prototype and only got _half_ a prototype. He should get a half refund. So are there really 7½ of the Flat Face prototypes or should I be hunting for the other half? :joy: ---

Had he contacted me, obviously I would have taken care of him 🙂 Most likely just an odd number. That happens all the time. ---

In my defense I had no idea this was a problem until I was selling it to Zxin here, clearly they have a better attention to detail than I do 😛 Never too late maybe? 🤣 ---

I am now dubbing this the MUTANT Format:C Gen 2 Proto. Currently, it is one of a kind… but if enough people half swap their Format:C Gen 2 Flat Face Protos with Clear Format:C Gen 2s, then we’ll have 15 mutants, which will be enough to form THE X YOS and take on MAGNETYO. ---
