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? 

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.

I will see if I can get a picture up in a couple minutes.

Here is a pic.  The trader said he took it right from the package to storage.

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.

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.

LEGO might send you the correct piece or replacement Chicken Suit Guy.

I might have a pair of white hips.  Shouldn't be too hard to replace.

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. 

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.
