These requests will not be accepted.

This minifigure head has now been found with four different colors of eyebrows:
brown, reddish brown, dark red, and red. The catalog does not distinguish the
four different colors at this time, and we are not planning on doing it in the
near future due to the large amount of work for little reward.

This recent thread is worth looking over:

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1189272

Since the minifigure was inventoried with a head with "brown" eyebrows and the
original image was replaced many years later, we honestly don't know how
many different eyebrow colors were used in this set. Also, we cannot just change
the minifigure inventory as many sellers have this item for sale and some would
likely have it with a different head.

If you want to at least get your head recognized for now, you will need to create
a new minifigure (cty0140a) with the head you have that would get added as an
alternate to the minifigure currently in the set. At least in this way, we will
know that one with "red" eyebrows was found at some point if we decide to figure
this mess out some day.

Cheers,
Randy

I've created a new minifigure with a request to swap out the current image
as that is obviously the correct image for the new entry.

I am very well aware of the thread your referenced and the excellent work done
by that member of this community. This is the reason I did not create a new one
in the first instance as I did not think as far as swapping out images. For what
is worth, I do not have a brown eyebrow minifigure from that set to submit as
a new image for the existing inventory. As you said, a fine mess.
