    Dr Zaius variants

    Noticed there were 2 variants of Dr Zaius, 1 with orange hair and 1 with yellow. I have 2x Zaius at the moment both with orange hair but 1 as yellow eyebrows was this another variant?

        I've seen these figures. Not sure what the deal is, but I've seen many DZ's that have a much more yellow tinted look to the hair.

            .....and let's not forget the orange instead of brown detailing on the tunics, although the verdict is still out on that one too - fading or not?

              The one pictured in the zaius gallery has yellow hair and orange eyebrows.
              Its not fading. I'm guessing the eyebrows and hair were painted at different stations at the factory and the paints weren't always coordinated.

                Just had another Zaius back (see thread for Myra) he is in the picture there. I have just noticed he as dark skin colouring on the whole body like the soldier ape. I dont think the heads have been swapped mind
