    zira variant

    hi all...
    ive been waiting for this recent zira find to arrive..the original picture wasnt too good but i made my mind up that it was a brown variant zira and bought it...
    ive took these pics for you to see and compare it against my standard zira..
    ive noticed that the brown ziras clothes feel thicker? stiffer than standard zira and the the chest panel is very dark almost black compared to standard zira ...the brown sleeves inside are stitched in its not a separate top...
    im pretty sure to say its the brown variant...

        No, I don't have many loose figures and Zira wasn't high on my priority list for figures I wanted to keep. Most of my collection is boxed and carded and I don't have a carded brown suit Zira.

                  I have a brown zira on a card, I believe I saw a brown carded corny in an issue of tomarts. I've never seen one for sale.

                      This is a very interesting thread.

                      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

                          I've had my Zira for about twelve years, and she came with a green top and brown skirt. I imagine someone did some swapping, but it's clear the skirt has always been brown and not discolored in any way.

                            Very nice variation! And the comparison photos you took are really sharp and referential as well - so thanks for sharing. Win!

                              I have been casually looking for a brown Zira for a while -- congrats you found a beauty.
