Dear all,

I recently joined toyark because I need your expertise in a strange situation I encountered. I am currently dissolving my collection of Vintage teenage mutant hero turtles action figures and vehicles. A potential buyer rejected my Shredder action figure in very good condition because he suspected I painted on the figure. I was confused and investigated and found that Shredder is known to have a flesh-colored eyebrow/helmet rim. The eyebrow of my Shredder, however, is purple - perfectly matching the facemask. The black eyebrows are even printed on top of the purple area. The figure is definitely in original state from the 1988 series. One of the very first runs. I owned him all the time, opened the package myself some 30 years ago. Never painted on the figure. Could this be a rare variant?
I attached some pictures of my figure.

Thank you so much for your input!

Kind regards
