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.

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.
Unless, of course, the Capt happen to have freak carnival related accident down
at the docks, while unloading the imported evil clown shipment, I just don't buy
it. Don't get me wrong, it *COULD* happen, or it *COULD* be a scar, I just don't
buy it, (nor do I hope to buy anymore figs with orange stripes.)
