Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Minifig No: sw0423  Name: Santa Darth Maul
* 
sw0423 (Inv) Santa Darth Maul
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Other

* Delete 1 Part 3626bps8 Black Minifigure, Head Alien with SW Darth Maul, Red Face Pattern - Blocked Open Stud
* Add 1 Part 3626cps8 Black Minifigure, Head Alien with SW Darth Maul, Red Face Pattern - Hollow Stud

Comments from Submitter:
(This might seem like an invalid request but please read for details.)

The head of this figure, at least on every version I have seen including my own from a sealed set of 9509, is part 3626cps8, not part 3626bps8 as is currently listed.

These parts are supposedly linked by having the same printed design on a different head (b vs c type heads). In fact, the prints are very noticeably different, such as the nose being more detailed, the chin being wider and additional black markings near the eyes being present on the newer version. (Note- these are not the 'print variations' shown in the image on the item page of 3626bps8. This is a 3rd design, the same as is shown on the page for 3626cps8.)

The same issue is present in the inventory of sw0323 ‘Darth Maul without Hood’.
