Looking for evidence of a potential Pokemon Rumble U misprint!

An acquaintance of mine u/JukeBox2099 recently acquired this unusual example of a non shiny Pikachu Rumble U figure with a female tail!

Usually these rumble U figures have a male tail, whilst the female tail is reserved solely for the shiny version of figure!

We were able to contact the original owner of the figure in Japan, but unfortunately, they could not confirm whether they had obtained it first or second hand.

So we are looking for other potential examples of this error to confirm that this is in fact, a misprint and not a custom model! We know that this is not an intentional special variant of this model, as the NFC data scans as a stock male Pikachu, whilst the shiny version scans as a female!

So please, if you have a Pikachu Rumble U figure, check your tails! We are looking for non shiny figures with the female tail, and potentially shiny figures with the male tail!

If we can confirm there are other examples out there, this confirms this as a rare misprint, and it may possibly be one of the rarest rumble U figures out there! I've looked back over three years of listings and haven't been able to find anything like it!
