Mark, there is virtually no difference at all. The bodies are exactly the same. The yellow head looks almost like the orange, but just a very very subtle color difference. The pupils seems smaller in the yellow. Not sure if it's just for that particular figure in the photo below, but I can confirm it when I unpack the other yellow
. It's hard to see the color difference in a photo, but much more apparent when you are holding them. I was lucky enough to pick up a Yellow Tiger recently, and from the auction photo, he looked like the orange version. Imagine my surprise when he arrived and turned out to be the coveted Yellow!
Found an old photo--the YELLOW Tiger is in the middle

The other Yellow I just adopted (this is the auction photo)-will post a better photo after Easter
Does anyone have any info on why the orange version seems to be more "abundant" (and I use that term relatively! they're getting harder to find!
) than the yellows? Were the yellows produced later and then for a limited time? Or is it mere coincidence, that both versions were produced in equal numbers, but just the oranges seem to pop up at auctions? And were both colors made and released at the same time, or did one come before the other?
Steve, yes! I will definitely pose a Tiger family photo--after Easter, I can play with my toys and photograph them!
P.S. Thank you Jim for posting the photo of the T7 in his cocoon with the gloves packaged like that (interesting to see!), as well as the photo for the beautiful card! It's amazing that the photos survived after SEVEN years from the original post. Yep! I did save them for myself as an archive. Really love those photos!
P.P.S. I wish Gilly's photos had survived. It would have been nifty to see those too!
P.P.P.S. The 1st Yellow head in the top photo, was adopted from none other than the Super 7 store (thank you Brian, Josh, and Joe
)! I think it was one summer that they had FOUR of them in the shop. I should've bitten the bullet and adopted them all
