Yeah, a hood on a brown face would've made a much better ewok.
The Gamorrean Guard's hood is the wrong color when its molded
(green instead of brown) so they could've just used a snape colored face and
added a brown hood. This would also make people buy the set b/c of all the
hoods you could collect.

I don't really do that to legos, as painting can
wear off or smear or something.

I for one, wouldn't be disapointed b/c if they did make a brown lando, then
people are gonna' want skin tones and different races and all this other
material they should be using on brick will be used on heads and hands. Not
to mention that the yellow smileys off the past will become isolated.
