[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 458606, member: 7379"] Indeed! Regarding the black guard's possible running change, unless it was simply another case of one factory using a different shade of brown paint in error / through not really caring, in this instance, due to the possible racial sensitivity issue, whilst there certainly are people in the world with extremely dark skin tones, I suppose it's possible Kenner made a deliberate running change to make the figure more closely resemble the skin tone of the guard pictured on the card. However, that's assuming the dark brown one came out first, and I don't actually know if that's the case. However, here are the two different guards (that I know of! There may be even more shades of brown out there that I don't know about!) and the picture from the card: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Black Bespin Guards.jpg"]32645._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Black Bespin Guard Card Image.jpg"]32644._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
