  That sounds about right compared with what I have, also. The brown eyebrows would
have probably been before the color change in 2004 to reddish brown. With your
information and my information, it is clear that any minifigure and set with
this head needs to be looked into before we make any more changes or add any
more minifigures. This sounds like an issue for the catalog roadmap.

I add this picture to the discussion in case anyone can use it in a future project
correcting the red/brown eyebrows issue. These are the 6 heads that I have in
sets that were never mixed with other bricks. I put them in my scanner to ensure
consistent lighting.

  As for dual-molded parts, I would say that the appearance of the part
is what is important. If a part appears to have a pattern, then BrickLink should
probably treat it as a patterned part regardless of the production method.

This is because when anyone is looking for an item, I imagine they would want
a clean distinction between plain parts and multicolored or patterned parts.
That's not to say we couldn't distinguish dual-molded parts in some
way, either with titles or item numbers. For example, we already distinguish
patterned parts that have stickers using the part title.


  The dual-molding issue will have to wait until we get to a catalog page that
would address it.

I don't care either way, but it would be very useful to know which legs are
dual molded (and so have the correct colours on the back of the legs) vs those
that are printed (and so have a single colour on the backs).

Dang. I can’t: I only have the surface paint in black.

I have both versions of the chrome ones but there already is a comparison picture.

I note

exists in both versions: there’s a comparison picture but
only one part in the catalogue….

Which makes me wonder what the catalog means when it uses the word "embossed:"

 
Part No: 3010pb036e  Name: Brick 1 x 4 with Car Grille Black Pattern (Embossed Print)
* 
3010pb036e Brick 1 x 4 with Car Grille Black Pattern (Embossed Print)
Parts: Brick, Decorated


If you actually are wondering about this part, the pattern is both embossed and
painted, while on
 
Part No: 3010pb036s  Name: Brick 1 x 4 with Car Grille Black Pattern (Surface Print)
* 
3010pb036s Brick 1 x 4 with Car Grille Black Pattern (Surface Print)
Parts: Brick, Decorated
it’s only painted.

I’ll try to make a comparison picture….
