Someone with those torsos should take better pictures. The variant is the gold
and brown ink being switched. The intended print is:
-Gold scales, star, and dagger blade
-Brown dagger handle

But somehow the colors got switched and became a big enough part of production
that it's considered an actual variant rather than a misprint. So some have:
-Brown scales, star and dagger blade
-Gold Dagger handle

If that's so, then why do they both say "Brown Dagger, Gold Star" in the
title? Probably just needs renamed.
