The visor I think needs some alterations because it definitely distorts the portrait quite a bit. So...hopefully that can be rectified before it is released.
They did say they were going to try and tweak the visor in production. However, they can't make it too thin due to concerns about breakage.

Lol! To be fair, there were only two pieces there that I didn't love. I think they really put on an amazing show this year.

Did they tease any other Star Wars products?

They are reevaluating what is happening with the Star Wars license at the moment. Approvals have been a nightmare for them so far, so they are still deciding how to proceed going forward.

Plus there's the state of the industry, loss of hype after all this time, and risks involved in competing with all the other junk made for the Star Wars license.

The only other two I've seen artwork on has been Luke doing a handstand in dagobah and the one with the two stormtroopers... Hopefully will get those before they decide to drop the license.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

That is a bit worrying, do you get the impression this SW licence could be pulled?
Disappointed we didn't get a glimpse at Grevious this year and still no idea when fett will ship.

Quite honestly...no. I think everything at the show was of at least good quality or better.

I'd definitely like to see some changes on a few statues here and there, but by and large...everything was at least good to spectacular.

I think the weakest pieces at the show were Red Ranger (not too exciting for unpainted sculpt of character I care little for), Kraven and Spider Gwen. The XM Joker could use some alterations on the base...mainly the option or removal of the armor on the base to help alleviate clutter. I love everything else about it...especially the Joker himself.

Boba Fett looking like Q1.

Don't worry, Star Wars will continue.
