Zira Hair & Lip Color Variation

[miguet]

I was putting away a Zira which I purchased a couple of weeks ago and noticed that her hair and lips have a different color from all my other Ziras. She has light brown hair and peach (pale pink) lips. Zira's outfit is the variation without the inner brown sleeves. I don't have a digital camera but below are pictures from the auction. Is this a known color variation?



Here are a couple of pictures of 3 of my Ziras.

Not sure, Michael. Some of the figures I have duplicates of, vary a bit.

But how many Zira's do you have?

Chris, I compared the one variant (it might not be considered a true variant but for all purposes, I'll refer to it as so) with the four other figures in my collection. The four look very similar to each other so the difference is noticable with the variant. I'm going to my friend's place and hopefully, I'll be able to take some close-up pictures. I hope my friend doesn't forget to bring home the camera from work.

There are so many colour variations on both Zira and Galen/Cornelius that it is hard to keep track of them all.
Mine are pictured below, There are differences in hair colour, lip colour, ear colour, cloth colour and vinyl colour.



Funnily enough you will notice that my sleeveless Zira also has pink lips like yours, however I also have a carded sleeveless Zira which has red lips. I don't really think you can pin point any colour down to a regular pattern.

wow!

According to Zira, all humans look alike to most apes. Clearly, all Ziras don't look alike to us.

Thanks for the pic Paul. I am anxious to go home and compare my two Ziras now.

Thanks Paul for the picture. It's nice to see the color variations on Zira. I'll be posting some other pictures in a few minutes.

Okay, I posted additional pictures. The girls just woke-up and didn't quite have time to fix their clothes. I guess they didn't want to miss out on a photo opportunity.

Michael, I love the Zira in the middle most of all. Amazing how much prettier she looks without lipstick!

Did you also notice that the hieroglyph of Zira to the left is not completely boxed up?

[censy]

What a great Zira study this is.

Good catch on the glyph Jessica. I prefer the middle one too. She's softer without the lipstick.

Thanks Jessica! As usual, you have a great eye for detail. I probably wouldn't have noticed the difference in the hieroglyph.

I also like the Zira in the middle for the same reason as you and Chris but also, because she's the only Zira I own that's in mint condition. I don't think she has ever been played with. Lucky for me, no body wanted to bid on her so I did and she was cheap. I purchased other POTA figures from the same seller and all his figures are minty condition.

Like Cornelius, you can never have enough Ziras...

I have one Cornelius. I hope to acquire more of him and soldier apes.

I've yet to run across the "sleeveless" Zira... And while I have one Zira with the dark brown vinyl, it's not on a "regular" green jacket, it's on the "brown" version...
