Did the blank black head on Boba Fett last year bring us a step closer?  I'm
curious - what color facial printing do people envision being used on a
black or brown head?  I have trouble picturing anything that looks
reasonable.  Anyone ever do a customizing job (that there are pictures of)?

Does this bring Lego a step closer to creating African or African/American
minifigures. I think it does. Maybe next year we will see Lando Calrissian.
Again, for all those people invested in this argument I think this is a
significant development.
