Hello,

Let's say a minifig is inventoried with a b-blocked style head.

Would a minifig assembly be considered complete if it has the alternate head
c-hollow style given that the this style head is technically only an alternate
part for the set inventory that the minifig came in and not the minifig itself.

Some minifig entries have a note saying something like: "This minifigure has
been found with both the 'b' and 'c' style head."

I would consider it complete, but I could see an OCD collector expecting the
'correct' head style per the BL figure assembly. Even if 'correct'
is just arbitrarily which ever style was found by the first user when adding
to the catalog.

Obviously, this only applies to figures produced during the great transition
period.

It is complete if it can come with an alternate head.

It's complete but I would advise noting it in the listing.
