Still, there are four thumbnail pictures from the movie towards the top of the
instruction pages, and the human portrayed most clearly (in two of the images,
and one is even a close-up) is Panaka. At no point is the scene you are
describing shown. Coupled with the outfit on the mini-figure matching Panaka's
as shown in those images, and there is little reason not to run the risk of my
prior assumption (be it in error or not) to be completely inferred.
Anyway, yep, there's bigger issues on the grill here, even if they turn out to
be unassociated with the 7124. I was just looking at brown pieces, and they're
a good medium-hued tone of brown which would allow perfectly legible imprinting
of the "black dot eyes and mouth." I say "why not?" :-)
