For the life of me I can't see any Print here. Shouldn't it just be 49109?

PB means Pattern Bricklink. In this case is not a print but a doble moulding.
Medium Nougat + Nougat (just ears seems)

Sergio

The ears are the same color as the rest. At least in the parts I have at hand.
Do you see different in the picture?

I just took my figure from shelf and I confirm that ears are lighter in my. Ears
are Nougat just like head but Lion's Mane is tru Medium Nougat just like
torso and it is well visible on figure from which this part is.

Can someone confirm that this part comes only in flat silver... NOT Pearl Light
Gray? The parts we have look like pearl, not flat silver?

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=40378#T=P

According to the Lego site as far as silver colours go it only shows up as:-

Description Silver Met.
Category Bricks, Special
Element 6097639
Design Number 40378

and Silver Metalic tranlates to Flat Silver on Bricklink but as already mentioned
not all parts/colours belong to a set or are catalogued on the Lego site indefinitely

The situation is then made worse by Bricklink not using Offical Lego colour names/references
which means people can translate them to the Bricklink site and colour palette
incorrectly and so although the part also shows up on BL in Pearl Light Gray
it may be that it only exists in Flat Silver or as Lego call it Silver Metalic.
This is another important reason why using Legos offical colour names should
take precedence over using colour names just because we like the sound of them
better?

973pb4140c01 (Inv) Torso Space Futuron Black Pattern, Gold Zipper and Classic Logo, 'POLICE' on Back / Black Arms / White Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly, Decor.

Not to contribute to title-bloat, but since the word "Police" features prominently
on this part, it needs to be included in the description, since that is
how most people would search for it. 😕

Why do we need the locations (as in front / back) of the prints in the description.
"Black Panels with Gold Zipper, Classic Space and Police logos" covers the important
search terms. Are people really searching for back as a keyword for something
like this? If so, all other torso assemblies where back printing is mentioned
should be updated.

But there are torsos where back print is the only distinguishing feature like

973pb2680c01 (Inv) Torso Female Hoodie with White Laces, Blue Scrollwork, Kangaroo Pocket and Back Print Pattern / Bright Light Blue Arms / Yellow Hands

I am working on the inventory for the new Dots Series 3 packs. I opened three

other 3, but I need images so they can be approved. You can submit the images

you.

That's what I thought, but on the catalog page for [p=3626b]
it says "this part has a variant with a single interior bar across the center"
and there is even a picture of such a minifig head.

Would it be too much effort to change "Vented Stud" to "Stud with 2 Holes" and
"Blocked Open Stud" to "Stud with 3 Holes" or something like that? To someone
unfamiliar with the catalog, the terms "Vented Stud" and "Blocked Open Stud"
may seem synonymous. Then again, someone unfamiliar with the catalog probably
doesn't care. Just a suggestion.

This image will be added as an additional image for all types of plain heads.

Also large picture of 3626b showing vented stud should be moved or deleted

Remember this case

Image will not be deleted.
Picture and note was added in November 2018. When Paul found it for the first
time and admin that time didn't know more about it so they added his picture
and a note to current 3626b
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1115430
For the first time vented head was found in sets in march 2020
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1184827
so 1,5 half year later

But see Paul later message from march therad
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1185193

When you compare current vented stud and one on Paul image you will see that
bar is different - thinner. So it isn't present part 28621. Origin of Paul
mold I think is still unknown.

I supplemented a note for 3626b with above informations for now.

One time consuming way is to find a black part 85984, but look at each set in

The one you didn't know from what set it was I done unfortunately this way,
by checking set by set with 85984 black color (as sticker was applied on black
slope) and checking sticker sheet there.

Thank you for submitting image of real part it looks quite different than LEGO

Maybe you would like to submit now also this second round tile with star to the
catalog also?

This one would go to Tile, Round, Decorated

as for round tiles we do not diffeare if tile is only round or round and modified,
all goes to round for now (until at least to another reclassification)
as you can see in tiles round are also tiles round modified in some way

name (it's not Glitter Trans-Clear, might look so in the LEGO picture but
it's definitely not clear).

The other changes I don't understand the rejection but there might be a reason.
Why this is a decorated tile instead of modified (since it's not flat). Can
someone please explain this to me for future understanding what is and isn't
the right use?

Thanks for your reply, no mail yet... And indeed because of that I hadn't

I was not really sure what the correct way is.

and this is a problem when submitters give us only LEGO renders from LEGO database
and very few submit to catalog real photographs of LEGO parts especially strange
ones.
[p=3070bpb184]
there was only this render to be worked with

Admins don't have in hand all new LEGO parts.

Finally somebody showed what part really looks like. Please submit photograph
of real part to replace render which is very missleading.
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogImageAdd.page?itemType=P

Also please write here what is part number molded on part.

Part will be then moved and number changed.

Word pattern in description stays as it also used for dual molded parts without
print, best example is here

49656pb01 Rock 1 x 1 Geode with Molded Glitter Trans-Bright Green Crystals Pattern
Parts: Rock

49656pb02 Rock 1 x 1 Geode with Molded Glitter Trans-Dark Pink Crystals Pattern
Parts: Rock

49656pb03 Rock 1 x 1 Geode with Molded Glitter Trans-Light Blue Crystals Pattern
Parts: Rock

also frequently in some new headgar and hairs with headgear for example

52686pb02 Minifigure, Hair Combo, Hair with Hat, 2 Braids over Shoulders with Molded Sand Blue Beanie Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Hair

there is no print but it is two colored and dual molded

Category then shopuld be Tile, Modified, Decorated
as it is part with decoration in different color not plain modified ones whole
in one color.
