| I've just noticed a difference in the Trans Light Blue Duplo Orcas: some
are one-eyed, others have both eyes. Can anyone confirm this and have an explanation
for it?

Funny they appear where the eyes would be though… but then, our brains tend to
see what they want to see: faces.

But then an orcas eyes are on the sides of its head, not in front.

Well, it’s a predator, so its eyes are more in front than on the sides. And
the LEGO orca has a rather flattened head¹, so it’s even more in front.

While they look like bubbles, they just seem too perfectly symmetric in the one
that has two and too reproducable in location to be random in the others.

OK then they are Pirate Orca's whose eyepatch was ripped off when they jumped
from the sea.

| But if the mold is always oriented in the same direction, the bubbles would always
rise to the same place.

As I said: I don`t think these are air bubbles, there`s a open cavity in the
inside.
Maybe someone who owns an orca could look at?

Why, when the bubbles are different in size and even whether they exist?

Maybe the Lego Bubbleator broke and they couldn't find parts to fix it.

| I've 6 trans light blue Duplo Orcas. They all have two eyes.
As orcas sleep with only one eye closed at a time, we may pretend that two of
your orcas are asleep.

So a new catalog entry?
Would you call it Left Eye Sleeping Orca or Right Eye Sleeping Orca

These are quite smart animals, I think they are winking left or right at us.

I can not...
But from your input (including pics) it's obviously a mold anomaly. Misprints,
there are galore. But mold mishaps are far fewer. Very nice collectible, imho

I listed them separately...

Hmmm part of me is thinking there has to be a reason why they didn’t but that
might be the best course of action. I would but I’m not at my pc for a while
now
