Please make changes to the following inventory:
 
Set No: 8593  Name: Makuta
* 
8593-1 (Inv) Makuta
199 Parts, 2003
Sets: BIONICLE: Titans

* Add 1 Part 44815b Pearl Black Bionicle Mask Kraahkan, 4 Hole Chin (Alternate) (match ID 1)
* Change 1 Part Pearl Black 44815a Bionicle Mask Kraahkan, 6 Hole Chin {match ID 0 to 1}

Comments from Submitter:
The inventory of this set should be updated to reflect changes to the Kanohi made during production. The first production run of this set included the Kanohi mask with the 6 hole chin as originally designed. (Item# 44815a)

However, the injection mold for this Kanohi would often misprint and produce elements that only had 5 hole chins. This mold was then altered mid-production to block off the upper 2 chin holes that caused mismold issues, resulting in the 4 hole chin design (Item# 44815b) that would be used for subsequent runs of this Kanohi until its last use in 2008.

Finally, someone who can provide picture evidence so this can be corrected to
how it was pre-Pearl Black being added
