Unless that's a Clone Trooper Pilot sitting in the V-wing? Can't make
it out from the pic. If it is, klausunion's input is more correct

The same shade

  Also interesting: does it have any written text inside it?

One way round this is not to show the head stud from above in any images. That
way, no particular variant is shown. That is exactly what happens with, for example,
1x4 bricks. No undersides are shown, so any variant is allowable.

Yes. BrickLink should remove all the photo images and insets designed to specifically
show the variant. I mentioned this way back when this started, but... oh well.

Ok, I guess it’ll just go into my personal collection then. Thank you for your
help as I’m still learning the process of everything thing

I was in the midst of a project to break out torsos that were vintage from modern
torsos with the same print, which would help collectors get the correct piece
and push back on sellers rebuilding minifigs with the wrong era parts and passing
them off as vintage. But Bricklink stopped that project right in its tracks
and moved backward from my vantage point. It is just what it is.

Yes, the project was purported to stop sellers from getting in trouble, but it
will lead to sellers getting in trouble, unfortunately. People are going to
rebuild minifigs and not know that there is an accurate head and an inaccurate
head and customers will be angry that they got the hollow stud on a minifigure
from 1993.

Bricklink chose that problem over the other.

These rotated logos are uncommon, but not rare, if that's what you're
asking.

Its value is probably the same as its normal state. It is not a very rare event
for "Lego" prints to be printed in different directions.

Yes, this is the new reality that this particular variant change has forced on
all of us.

But, this could also happen with any part that has variations that the BL catalog
doesn't recognize. It happens all the time with buyers declaring older parts
without LEGO logos are fake. It happens when buyers can't tell that an image
is showing a front and back view and expects to get 2 parts. It happens when
a buyer expects accessories on a minifig that clearly aren't pictured or
listed.

We can't always meet buyer's expectations when they don't know or
understand the system. All you can do it explain how things work on BrickLink,
point them to any relevant resources in Help or on the Forum, and then hope for
the best.

  That is not the part I am referring to:

It's the base part of the part you are referring to. BrickLink can't
really add variant notes on 4000 decorated heads.
