That what I'm wondering. I guess the previous owner didn't know the chest piece was in direct sunlight.

Faded. If not then it must be a lucky draw variant

For additional comparison here are a few pics of mine... The chest bodice is a deeper metallic red, even in normal lighting.I always assumed this was the 'correct' color for that, though some variation from piece to piece is always possible.

The statue I bought was used but the person I bought it from said he put it in a glass cabinet away from direct sunlight. Any help would be appreciated.

WOW thats looks so nice!!!

Update: I asked the seller I bought mine from for a refund and return. He ended up giving me the refund and letting me keep the statue as well lol. Looks like he knew his statue was faded and was just trying to make a quick buck. Ill probably end up selling it on Craigslist for $30-$40
