i just got a vithzerai figure and noticed a difference between it and the one in the units section. the difference is that in the units section,it looks like the fire he is holding is made out of the clear, crystally plastic, but on mine it is solid color. could the fire have been painted over?

The Solid Fire Color is the one he is suppose to have! :p

if you want to risk stripping the paint, you might find that clear plastic underneath....

I once stripped the paint of a Drakor and it was clear yellow...
