| Currently Bricklink only has 1 entry for the bat piece:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=1766#T=S&O={%22iconly%22:0}
Today I found out there are two slightly different moulds (that I know of), when
trying to connect them to the 2L bar with stop ring:

One (I assume the old model) sits above the stop ring (left), and the newer one
lets you press it down the bar all the way to the stop ring (right), meaning
the hole inside it is bigger.
Also they differ in texture, with the newer one (again on the right) being more
matter and feels more textured:

Does anyone knows how to report it to Bricklink so a new, alternative entry can
be created?

| not all different molds are separated by bricklink. looking at this part I can
see it has 2 different mold numbers. I responded to this in catalogue requests
so an admin can see it easier

In this situation, I don't think we would create a new entry unless one of
the specific molds was needed in a certain set's build. Otherwise, they will
remain under one entry.
Cheers,

Hi Randy, actually the new mould is used in this way in the new Batcave set:
https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/batcave-shadow-box-76252
Where the Bats are attached upside down with the bar fixed all the way down the
hole. You can see how it looks here:

That's interesting! I ordered 4 bats last year from a Bricklink seller, and
only yesterday I realised that 3 are 'sticking out' and 1 is not. So
the Batcave is definitely not the first set when this new mould was used.

They must have used the old bats for the actual photos of the set then, because
the official photos show the bar sticking out on all of them.
I still don't think this is a part that is going to be split.
Cheers,
Randy
