Dunno if this has been asked before, but I got my new Harry potter sets
through the post yesterday and the Chaber of Secrets set comes with some
sort of phoenix type creature. However whats odd about it is that the tail

Lego have _deliberately_ released a brick with more than one (non printed)

Its interesting that this is a "non-printed" color change.  It must have
been even expensive, as in more expensive than usual to put out a piece
like this if it is indeed a one-piece item.  To me it looks like the
tail is orange and the rest of the body is red.

There are those train doors but I suspect that they are printed on.
Looks very neat, thanks for pointing it out!!
