Not sure how to go about this, but part

 
Part No: 970c00pb0052  Name: Hips and Legs with Lime Boots and Belt Pattern (Buzz Lightyear)
* 
970c00pb0052 Hips and Legs with Lime Boots and Belt Pattern (Buzz Lightyear)
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated

needs to be broken up into 2 separate entries. Currently we only have one for
a lime printing. I have been listing legs recently and came across 4 of these
legs. Three of them had lime printing, the fourth has bright green printing(verified
as Lego). Searching for "Buzz Lightyear" figures, I came across minifig toy004
from which the picture seems to show bright green printing, yet inventory says
it has the legs with lime print.

My guess is that it hasn't been discovered yet that there is a bright green
version, so all the figures with it are being inventoried as having the lime
version.

All of the parts of the minifig appear to have bright green print, not lime.

Which leads me to believe that there are two versions of Buzz and all his parts:
Lime and Bright Green. Which sets each came in I have no idea.

The bright green print may have come from the magnet gear set

852949 (Inv) Magnet Set, Minifigures Toy Story (3) - Woody, Alien, Buzz Lightyear - with 2 x 4 Brick Bases blister pack
Gear: Magnet: Toy Story

Those were made in China, I believe, and could possibly have had poor quality
control.

I have not seen a Buzz with anything but lime print, but all of the ones I have
came from the real Toy Story sets.

Weren't the magnet sets all glued when these came out?

They started gluing it from 2011, Magnet sets from 2009 and 2010 are not glued.
But there are some sets which have not glued and glued versions.
Evrything is here
http://thebrickblogger.com/2011/06/glued-and-non-glued-lego-magnets/

So in our catalog those from 2011 and later aren't inventoried, inventoried
are those from 2009 and 2010.

The image for toy004 is a bit oversaturated I think which leads to it being a
bit deceptive.

Here is a toy004 taken from set 30073

The green on the legs and the helmet parts do differ slightly because the print
on the legs isn't so thick so shows some of the white through it
