Can we get the Qi'ra - Jacket with Collar with misprint added as a variant
minifig for this set as I've just had a customer order the original sw0916
minifig thinking they'd get the misprinted one as there's both images
on this listing. This'll hopefully stop this from happening again.

They don't usually add variants for misprints, do they? I think an updated
alternate image showing both the original and misprint (and labeling which is
which) would suffice. That current alternate image is a bit misleading.

Thread moved to catalog requests as this is more a catalog than an inventory
issue for now. Maybe the additional note can be adjusted to make it more clear
that the minifigure sw0916 is the normal figure and sellers should mention when
they are offering the misprint version.

Since we do not add misprints to the catalog, I have done the following:

1. Removed the additional image on the minifigure entry that showed the misprint
in a callout.
2. Added a descriptive additional note to the minifigure entry.
3. Added a descriptive additional note to the torso assembly entry.
4. Added a descriptive additional note to the torso entry.

This may not lead to all issues being avoided, but it is the best we can do to
try and alleviate it as much as possible.

Cheers,
Randy
