I noticed yesterday that the snowshoe, coming with the current Arctic Sets, is actually another type.

Now comes the dilemma. In our library there is the 30284, the original one and the 11187 which is currently listed as an alias.

At BL and Brickset however, the 11187 is NOT the same design as the 30284. Moreover there is another variant, the 28263, which is an alias to 11187.

The 11187 is official, but in reality it has another origin that 30284. Compared to 30284 it has a short front end and a long backend.

Ideal would be to change 11187 to the correct geometry and add an alias for 28263.

With that approach a complete compatibility cannot be guaranteed due to the different lenghts and existting models may face collision issues (though I think there is only a slim chance...)

To sum what we currently have:

30284 - Minifig Snowshoe  - The real thing - Official
11187 - =Minifig Snowshoe - Wrong alias as this is actually the short version - Official
11187a - Minifig Snowshoe with Short Toe Webbing - The real thing  - Unofficial
28263 - =Minifig Snowshoe with Short Toe Webbing - Alias to 11187a - Unofficial

I has been suggested to obsolate 11187 (which have never been done) and release 11187a and 28263 as official short versions. To get away from the 11187-mess I suggest:

* Obsolate 11187 as suggested
* Make 28263 the offiicial short version
* Make 11187a the alias of 28263

Thoughts?
