C-3PO's Red Arm? (#19)

Two curious Star Wars merchandise products have popped up recently, and both of them could possibly be giving us new information about Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, which is releasing this Winter.

Anybody who's watched Star Wars knows who C-3PO is. The lovable, gold coloured protocol droid that you can always find wandering around with R2-D2 has been in all six Star Wars films so far, along with his smaller blue and grey buddy. A picture has been seen, taken of some kind of Mexican tin with the Star Wars logo, that has a picture of several Star Wars, characters, one of them being C-3PO, but with a red left arm.


Normally, many people including myself would disregard this, considering that bootleg merchandise of popular franchises are often sold in foreign countries. However, another photo (I can't post it here but a quick Google should help you find it) has surfaced of a UK Star Wars table and chair kit, also featuring C-3PO with a red arm. Hmm... 

Perhaps C-3PO will have to get a replacement arm in the upcoming Star Wars sequel. It's not the first time that Threepio has had problems with his body, after all. What do you think?
