foal/colt/horse/zebra?!

[PlaymoZoo]

Hello,
I was just checking the internet when I spotted a strange colt/foal version 2.
It is white with brown manes (I thought they were a diffrent color than the zebra foal), it's hoofs weren't colored, and strangely it had four stripes on his forehead, like a zebra! It didn't look as a repaint, and the oddest thing: I couldn't find it on Animobil
Is it a mistake of playmobil?

I'd like to hear from you!

It would be better if you could attach a picture to your post to know of what you are talking about better 

Here are some tips of uploading a pictures in your posts:

You can also copy/paste BBCodes from playmodb of the specific items you want to show us or discuss

To post this set on a forum that uses BBCode: http://playmodb.org/playmodb.shtml
For example, under list of themes, you can find the Add-ons/Forest Animals then click on the set you want, and copy paste the BBCode at the bottom of the set page, so that comes out in your post like this: 7266 - Deer Family
Yu can do this with every set and/or each seperate part and item in a set.

Playmobil does make some assembly and production mistakes...
Tim could answer this, is there a white foal? then, it may be the case that the assembly machine at the factory placed a zebra foal's head at a regular foal body... or ... is this a picture from an ebay listing? the seler could have placed the zebra foal head on the regular body to make a sale...

The strange thing is: If PM made a mistake by placing the wrong head on the wrong body, how is it posible that the white foal body has a brown tale (there are no white foals with brown hair) and why are there just two stripes and no brown nose on the "zebra's" head?
So many question Oh,  and it isn't from ebay....
But thanks anyway

Anyone? I probably end up buying it anyway , but I still like to know if someone knows something about this strange animal. Tiermann maybe?

The zebra foal has stripes all over the head/neck piece, so it is not a regular zebra head. However, it does have a brown mane and tail, so I'd say it's a printing error, and somehow only those few stripes got printed. Probably one stamp/paint gun prints the front of the face, and then others print the sides, and it missed that second step.

Thank you! Like I said, I'll buy it anyway I don't have an error-animal yet!
Hmm, I like that word... error-animal

I agree with Bonnie, it's a zebra foal mis-print. That's just how they are painted Bonnie - a different printing piece for each side and each color with the animal being turned either by a robot arm or a person.
