Paul A. wrote in wondering if anybody else noticed that the LEGO Darth Maul Bust we showed last week had the tattoo upside down on his chin.

So, I asked LEGO and they sent along this reply:

"We've looked into it, and evidently the building instructions and packaging for the model have the tattoo facing the proper direction. For whatever reason, prototype photos may have been released [incorrectly]. Rest assured, the model is correct in its final consumer form."

In case you missed it, the Darth Maul bust, which is 17" tall and made from 1860 pieces. Item #10018, $149.99 is available to order from LEGO Shop At Home.
