I was looking through a bulk lot I bought and I think I may have found a misprint.
I see
Part, Minifigure Head 3626bpx119 but the printed hair on the head above the eyes
and eyepatch is missing, as well as the stubble. The picture is a bit blurry
but it looks clear enough to tell that it’s a misprint. Let me know what you
guys think about this.

Could be a head swap since its a bulk lot. I assume someone was playing around
and swapped its head with another figure.

I searched through every single head ever made containing an eyepatch and that
one seemingly doesn’t exist. It should have printed hair on the head above the
eyes and a stubble. Also that’s a mashed up figure (pirates head with an Alpha
Team body)

  Could just be a lighting reflection off of the hair piece that makes it look
like it's part of the face print, especially with it being so low quality

Possibly. It looks like we’ll just have to wait and see until it gets delivered
and then I can get a better look at it. It’s too early to tell since the pictures
I have of it are too low resolution to actually prove anything.

It wouldn't make sense. Misprints like this typically miss the all the print
of one colour. They don't print the black eyepatch separately to the hair
or stubble.

That’s what I thought. I don’t know if it’s just bad camera quality but I when
I look at that head I see some print missing. It isn’t faded, it just isn’t there.

There is a hair piece covering where all the printed hair would be. And as far
as the stubble, it may be worn off but can't tell from the photo.

Take a better photo of just the head without the hair piece.

When it arrives I’ll take better photos of it. I do see that the hair is put
on sideways where some of the print on the head should show slightly, but I could
be wrong. Stubble could very well be just worn off, too hard to tell since the
bad quality of the pics.
