Hi

I have all of the pieces for Bionicle 8917 Kalmah. I have the original box that
it came in too but I notice that on the box that I have, the Bionicle looks as
if it is a green colour whereas the Bionicle itself is primarily dark red in
colour. I thought that the image on the box might be as if a light source is
faced up on it or something but when I look at the original box on Bricklink,
the figure is red on it. I do not think it is a fading issue or anything with
my box, so my question is can a Bionicle original box vary so much in colour
shade?

Thanks

The box in your image looks to be very badly sun damaged

The LEGO logo on your original container looks almost light orange. Either it
has faded a lot, or it was printed too lightly in the first place.
