Did the blank black head on Boba Fett last year bring us a step closer?

That's a totally different story.  The black Boba Fett head *shows through* the
Boba Fett helmet/jet pack piece, creating the illusion of a visor, or darkness
behind the helmet.

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.

Me too.  Black might be too dark, and white or other colors might (read: would
probably) look too much like silent-movie-era "blackface" or a lawn jockey
(shudder).

Anyone ever do a customizing job (that there are pictures of)?

The last time this debate came up, someone kept mentioning that there was,
indeed, a nice custom done by someone somewhere.  I'm sure that with enough
effort, you could dig up a reference.  I wanna say it was Tim Courtney talking
about someone from Kidvention, but don't quote me on that.
