On the picture for this minifig, his transparent wings look blue, to me.

But in real life, his wings look very purple to me.

I actually thought I didnt have this minifig because the one I have is purple.

Anyone have the same problem?

In the image, they look like Trans-Purple with a lot of light behind them. And
in real life, they are definitely Trans-Purple.

Yes, but I reckon the photo is really off, because even when I put mine in front
of full sunlight behind it, its still extremely vivid purple. Maybe they shined
a very bright cold BLUE light on it, sunlight is yellow.

It is the standard LEGO image, so it is probably a render. If you would like
to submit another image, please do so. When taking the image, please make sure
that the part is placed against a white background.

Cheers,
Randy

I think this item should have a note on it like some items do and it says that
he is purple not blue

It is the only Elves bat that looks like this, so I do not believe a note is
necessary. Another image is all that is needed if you feel that it does not represent
the colors appropriately.

Cheers,
Randy
