stackables Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 i completed a trade for the series 9 chicken suit guy and much to my surprise the figured that arrived has black hips instead of white. The trader said that is how he came out of the package. Is this possible? Anyone hear of a variation of the figure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricketycricket Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 And it still has the correct leg printing?I'm pretty sure something is amiss here. Even the fake ones don't have black hips. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpj Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 And it still has the correct leg printing?I'm pretty sure something is amiss here. Even the fake ones don't have black hips.I totally agree... If it's black hips with the correct orange printed legs something isn't right.You may want to call Lego directly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackables Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Here is a pic. The trader said he took it right from the package to storage. Edited April 28, 2015 by stackables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpj Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 That's crazy.. I'm almost willing to believe him since its realllllly hard to change legs without breaking them and it would be way more trouble than it's worth to put the wrong hips on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 legs were pretty easy to pop off. I just did it. But everything else looks authentic. Fig seems to be a little dirty so I question the "right into storage" but the hips are definitely weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 LEGO might send you the correct piece or replacement Chicken Suit Guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 I might have a pair of white hips. Shouldn't be too hard to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agp548 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The seller is obviously not being truthful. The legs come in white. There's no way that came out of the package with bkack legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Taking off minifigure legs is easy but for what reason would there be to simply take the white torso piece and replace it with a black one? A mistake in packaging when the character was compiled is strange but not impossible. Looking over Series 9, there were three characters with black torsos, Waiter, Battle Mech, and Judge. Perhaps the machine used for assembly made a miscalculation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
