Comments from Submitter:
Dear BL. It seems that for the 4776-1 set in 2005 the minifig inventory was changed/updated to containing 47394pb014, instead of 47394pb013.

Both of these minifigs are essentially the same, apart from the color of the hands. In my significant experience from coming across and selling these sets, I would argue that Lego was using both types of this minifig interchangeably in the 4776-1 set.

In addition I come across another version of this minifig in this set as well, 47394pb003. Again this is essentially the same minifig, apart from the color of the arms/hands. In addition, 47394pb003 does not belong to any set at the moment (cannot be inventoried). It seems to me that a minifig cannot be "setless" and has to belong to at least 1 set.

Also according to the inventory in the instruction manual and the images on the original box this set should contain 47394pb013 and not 47394pb014.

There are more examples of Lego using similar minifigs (alternate color of arms/hands) in other duplo castle sets and even for the other minifig in 4776-1. Would it be possible to add these minifigs as offcial alternate items to the inventory lists?

This request contains just this example, but I am also willing to share additional information and submit requests for the examples in the other sets. Please let me know what you think.
