Out of this set "Hovercraft Hideout",
this minifig head
("http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3626bpx206")
had a vertical, orange stripe running down
its left (i.e., "dexter") side.  So, I called LEGO
Consumer Affairs and let them know what was wrong
("He's got an extremely noticeable, vertical,
orange stripe down the side of his face").

Well, I received a package from them yesterday
containing a replacement head... with a vertical,
orange stripe running down the side of its face.  >:P

So, my question to my fellow LUGNetteers is,
for those of you with this set, does *your*
minifig have this stripe also?

Thanks in advance.
Franklin

Hello! (...) It's Captain Ahab after all. He is meant to have a scarface. I suppose the orange stripe is there on purpose. Bye Jojo (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) I bought two of these sets and my Capt figs also have the orange stripe. When I first saw it, immediately I thought, hmmmmmm must be a misprint. Even when I use my imagination to the best of its ability, I refuse to considered it a scar. (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
