Hello,

Here's the next chapter of our Minecraft adventure!

I have found a slightly new print for part
 
Part No: 19729pb010 Name: Minifigure, Head, Modified Cube with Pixelated Dark Bluish Gray Face with Eyes and Mouth Pattern (Minecraft Wither Skeleton)
* 		19729pb010 Minifigure, Head, Modified Cube with Pixelated Dark Bluish Gray Face with Eyes and Mouth Pattern (Minecraft Wither Skeleton)
Parts: Minifigure, Head, Modified
in set
 
Set No: 21266 Name: The Nether Lava Battle
* 		21266-1 (Inv) The Nether Lava Battle
74 Parts, 3 Minifigures, 2025
Sets: Minecraft

The new one is molded 25194 which is already an accepted Alternate for the base
part. It has slightly wider eyes and more overlap on the White. Here it is compared
with the original 19729 from set
 
Set No: 21126 Name: The Wither
* 		21126-1 (Inv) The Wither
271 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2016
Sets: Minecraft

And the renders, which I fear are not going to help very much on this one. If
my vote counts, I think this one is too close to split.

Thanks,
Jen

It just seems they changed the printing process: from grey with holes for the
white/light grey, they are now printing the white/light grey directly on the
grey.

While we are at it, here is the head from the Blaze which I don't have a
direct compare for. It is molded 25194 also.

And the renders which are again, no help.

I think we would probably agree for both of these but will obtain the official
design data just to be on the safe side.
