Irwin "Collect Them All Saga" figures

I do believe they were leftovers, more figures made than vehicles to pack them with. They were already released individually in... Series 5 I think? That series had yellow hair, then they released the gold repaints of the same molds with the vehicles later on. Were these the only three released this way? I remember the packaging popping up, but I already had them from the vehicle play-sets I believe, so I didn't really pay much attention to them at the time. There was a Yardrat Goku prototype Irwin that never went into production, but someone actually purchased the prototype when it was sold on ebay. I distinctly remember that. (Maybe it was Soda? I saw him mentioned earlier in this thread, is he around on the newer board? I haven't talked to him in many, many years. Had his phone number at one point, but that was so long ago..)

That prototype was cool, if they had actually produced some of it and sold it at the end, I would still be interested in it even now.

That's right, Bomber Jacket Goku. I knew it was a variant that never went into production. Too bad one of those never cropped up in that Collect them all set.

thesupernamekian I think you're actually referring to Jakks. Irwin went bankrupt and sold the rights to Jakks during a time period where they were making some of their best figures (Series 10 and 11 figures... Yamcha in yellow suit, Bulma in green, SS3 Goku, etc.). Jakks was the company that did endless repaints. Irwin was probably more guilty of gimmicky toys though thanks to Super Saiyan Warriors and a few of the other figures that were pretty awful.

I was referring to the vehicle sets Irwin released where all of the figures were just slight repaints of previous releases, those light-up energy-blasting figures which reused parts from previous releases, etc..
