Rock Lords Narlies Prototypes

The below four Narlies prototypes were created by Tonka.

At this time there is no confirmation whether these models were rejected concepts for Series 1, Series 2 or possibly an unproduced Series 3.

While the Crayfish's light orange paint is unsealed and easily transferred to other surfaces all appear to be in a completed state and are likely able to be assembled with the addition of the generic, central mechanism.

The Anteater breaks the standard Narlies design having a fixed head and jaw. Due to the end of muzzle hole possibly it may have featured an in / out licking tongue attached to the mechanism that traditionally moved the head. This is purely speculation.

Narlies Prototypes - 6.5 cm (approx due to fur)

Anteater Tonka 1986
Crayfish Tonka 1986
Iguana Tonka (good) 1986
Mantis Tonka 1986

Presumably these models would have had the Narlie prefix added resulting in Narliemantis for exampled.
