Comments from Submitter:
Dear BL, thank you for updating the inventory for Duplo castle set 4776, by adding the Minifigs with different color for arms/hands as official alternates.

As mentioned in my previous request there are more Duplo castle sets that are missing their alternate Minifigs in the inventory. So, I will submit a series of request for the other sets as well.

Again, the reasoning from my previous request below:

In my significant experience from coming across and selling Duplo castle sets, I would argue that Lego was using different types of Minifigs (essentially the same Minifig, but only with different color arms/hands) interchangeably in the Duplo castle sets.

For this request, I would like to suggest to add alternate Minifigs to set 4863 as listed below:
- 47394pb093 as an alternate for 47394pb099 (only different color arms/hands)

- 47394pb006 as an alternate for 47394pb020 (only different color arms/hands)
- 47394pb084 as an alternate for 47394pb020 (only different color arms/hands)

I often come across these Minifigs in this set and in addition they don't belong to any set at the moment. And it seems to me that a Minifig cannot be "set-less" and has to belong to at least 1 set.

Thank you!
