Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

Jedi Knights needed soon.

Is it me or is the full size line really focusing on villains. Not that I don't like Maul, Fett and Vader but it would be nice to see a piece of some of the Jedi's like Qui Gon or ObiWan or Anakin (as a jedi) or Mace or Yoda with the full size treatment. What about that awsome blue chick. Also a companion to Chewbacca of Han Solo from ESB or R2D2 to go with C3PO would be nice. It just seems like GG has no sense of continuity. All their pieces are all over the place. Anyone agree disagree or comments?

I totally agree on the Qui Gon. I wonder if GG has access to a 360 scan of Liam Neesan.

Villians wear cool helmets!!!
Most likely easier to transfer into sculpt,that way you dont have to shoot for super accurate facial features and what not. Sometimes busts that are supposed to look like someone, really don't. Still it would be nice to get some Jedi. I want a Hammerhead bust! Dammit.

Undoubtedly the decisions have to do with ease of sculpting. But also who they percieve to be the most popular or visually interesting characters.

Does anyone know what he situation is regarding the use of actor's likenesses? I assume the contracts give Lucas and its licensors permission to do so; is there an approval process that requires actor input?

I agree with this completly, I would also say it is a lot to do with the money side of things, bad guys seem to sell more.
