So you are trying to replace the figure in the inventory with black hair with
a figure that has brown hair?

The correct way to do that would be to ask for a change in the inventory from
one figure to another. The request you are asking for here would add the same
exact figure to the inventory that is already in the inventory. Therefore, this
request does not solve the problem and will be rejected.

However, you have brought up an issue that needs looking into.

According to the packaging and set instructions, the figure should have brown
hair. When I look through the BrickLink catalog, I do not see a figure like this
with brown hair, only black hair. So that is question number one: Is there a
figure like this that actually exists with brown hair? If there is (and your
request as well as the instructions and packaging suggests so), then we hit the
next step: The figure with brown hair would need to be added to the BrickLink
catalog because it does not currently exist in the catalog. After that, we would
finally reach the question that concerns the set inventory: Which figure came
in this set originally? The one with black hair, the one with brown hair, or
one of them sometimes and the other one sometimes?

I don't know if I will be able to find enough information to answer and solve
all of these issues, but I will try.

Cheers,
Randy

Thank you for your reply. I have never seen this figure with black hair. So either
there is 2 versions of this minifig - or there never was a minifig
with black hair.

You can't post the link, just the item number. (202504481665)

Your post is going to be canceled.

Thanks.I am new at this. I have now instead tried to add the minifig with brown
hair as a new item (belvmale21). I hope I will have better luck with that. If
there is one with black hair on ebay, you must be right that both versions
exist.
