If the photo is the one your brother got what I see is egg shaped, and not ripe yet as opposed to Joe Bratka's Isis Candy being round.

How many of the fruits on your brother's plant look like that and are all the fruits on your plant round and look correct when ripe?

You are right. I checked with him and the tomato is not completely ripe. They do turn red but stay dark green on the top. My plant is true. Round and Orange/yellow with the starburst pattern on the bottom. My brother tells me they taste fine but obviously it's not as it's supposed to be. Oh well.
