Hi!
Today While Listing Heads I Cam Across The Head For Sirius Black
 
Part No: 3626bpb0207 Name: Minifigure, Head Moustache with Eyebrows, White Pupils, and Stubble Pattern (HP Sirius Black) - Blocked Open Stud
* 		3626bpb0207 Minifigure, Head Moustache with Eyebrows, White Pupils, and Stubble Pattern (HP Sirius Black) - Blocked Open Stud
Parts: Minifigure, Head {Light Nougat}
I Looked At The Head And It Said It Was A Blocked Open Stud Head But When I Went
To Look For The Hollow Stud Version I Couldn't Find It So I Went To Add It
To The Catalog. Then I Was Curious Because It Seemed Like It Was Too Old To Be
A Hollow Stud Head So I Looked And The Hollow Stud Head Was Release In 2008 (See
Picture Below)
Then I Looked And It Was Released Only In 2 Sets Both Of Which Were Released/Produced/Retired
In The Years Of 2004 And 2005 (See Below) Which Is Before The Hollow Stud Was
Released. My Next Question Was Is That Just The Release Date For Only The Blank
Version Of The Head So I Checked (See Below) And There Are No Other Hollow Heads
Released In Those Years (You Only See Custom Listings For Items That Aren't
The Head In Question) So I Looked And There Were None. Please See The Photo Also
Of The Head In Question You Can See The Lego Logo In The Photo If Your Look Closely
And The Print Which Is The Same As The Head In Question. If You Happen To Know
What It Happening Please Let Me Know. (Whether I Somehow Have The Wrong Print
Or Perhaps There Were Other Copies Release For Unknown Reasons After It Retired)
In The Event That I'm Missing Something Obvious I Apologize.
Thank you For Your Time!
-Jason

Here are the known the years of all 3626c heads:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.asp?v=5&pg=1&q=3626c%2A&catLike=W

But maybe TLG created the new mold and used it for printing for a bit and it
too some time for old unprinted ones got used sets.

Those years are misleading. They are populated based on the release dates of
the sets, but in the earlier sets the hollow stud head is just an alternate part
which was included in later productions runs.

The first hollow stud heads were added to the catalog in late 2010:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogListOld.asp?pg=1&q=hollow+stud+head&catLike=W&sortBy=D&sortAsc=A&catType=P&v=1

I would say the Sirius head is a custom print on a genuine part. It would make
sense because the original head is quite valuable.

Hi!
Thankyou for the reply!
I assume it that it isn’t real (print) and won’t list it but I’ll keep it in
my collection as a possible rare item
Thankyou for you time!
