My presumption was the Jake-supplied photos were simply not the final product,
and what you say on the box art was at least very close. Pretty much confirmed
by this:

From the tiny box art, I was unsure if there was anything but one new visor,
despite what was on the larger figures. The 1000steine photos, despite a large
proportion of out of focus picture, has a pretty clear view of the Jellybean
Knights and each has its own individual visor. I don't care for the Saturday
Morning Cartoon approach that Lego has taken with these figure (The Power Ranger
Knights). It's like they haven't paid the slightest attention to what Castle
fans have asked for - which, to be fair, may not be the market that they are
trying to appeal to.
