      I'm curious about that sleeve less one having a separate brown shirt.
      Does it fit nice? Could it be an ad on from another figure? Burke?

      That brown Zira looks nice

        I actually had a brown Zira for sale in the Marketplace a few months ago. She was pretty nice expect for a small hole in her skirt on the back.

          I have the same green top, brown skirt example. I also think someone just swapped the tops many years ago.

            a lot of people thought that aswell..but now i have one you can see its not a fade issue... as mentioned something does look a little different about the face? not sure what it is? but also the outfit is much thicker quality fabric
            and the chest piece i would imagine if it had faded would go lighter and not to a near black colour..yes i never though much about a brown zira but now i have one i think its great ..thanks for all the comments peeps

            I always thought all brown Ziras and Cornies were just discolored regular green ones ... Perhaps discolored due to age.

            I never knew the brown variations were official variations

                  No, I was referring to the one in Bryan's picture.

                  The green topped, brown skirted zira is not necessarily something someone swapped out. I have one carded like that, and I've seen others.

                    @MikeJ, I bought Sleeveless Z from gaga4toyz. We should ask him about the brows. Bro. :-)

                      That's interesting. Good to know!

                        Speaking of the Zira variant. I just took a side by side picture of my Zira's a couple of days ago. Is that dejavu or what? Apparently, (I just checked) and I did not get THAT picture up on my Photobucket account yet. Rest assured IT WILL be there in the next couple of days.

                        I like the brown Zira variant. I thought it was pretty cool. I think I even have the Brown corny variant to. I will have to double check that one to be sure though.

                              It was up once and ended with no bids. Zero seller. But he does email so I'm hopeful.

                                Good Luck Bryan,its always hard to tell from pics whether you have a true brown variant or a sun?fade brown suit.Still not a bad price for those three.
