But that makes them absolutly NO DIFFERENT as a mini-fig. If mini-Han and
mini-Luke had tan heads then it would make sense for mini-Lando to have a brown
head. However they are not based on the actors. Mini-Luke and mini-Han have
yellow heads even though Mark Hammill and Harrison Ford do not. So it would
make sense for mini-Lando to have a yellow head even though Billy Dee Williams
does not.

Ethnic backround also has nothing to do with the amount of pigmentation in
one's skin.
