I agree they're getting much better. However, if you look closely at the exclusive Luke sculpt, (with Wampa scars) it looks like someone gene-spliced Luke together with Han Solo... Odd.

Regarding the parka color controversy, I have what I believe is a valid theory:
I tried to put myself in the place of the cinematographer, and/or George himself; I'm shooting scenes with Han Solo in various lighting conditions. In many shots his parka appears almost black, against the contrast of the snow and ice in the background; a silhouette, which looks good in some shots. In many scenes, the BLUE of Han Solo's parka looks fine, and is recognizably BLUE. However, in some scenes the darkness and coolness of his parka would look better with a bit of warmth, especially when Han is standing in frame with warm light sources emitted by tech-devices which have red or yellow light.
Solution: Give Han an alternate BROWN jacket for certain shots only, which will (in theory) be too dark to identify on screen as brown, but will reflect a bit of warmer light at the edges.
I came to this theory immediately after watching the film, in which it is blatantly obvious that the parka is almost always BLUE, especially in the interior Echo Base scenes, in the narrow ice tunnels, and again later when Han is trying to revive Luke in the snow. I have taken into consideration the fact that the interior shots have a lot of reflected blue light from the set, and possibly from studio lights with blue color gels as well. Considering how different types of film stock registered color and contrast in the 70's and 80's, it would make sense that a brown parka used in a few selected shots would have been a viable solution to offset excessive contrast and darkness.
(This would also explain the photo of Harrison in Hoth gear driving the snow-cat, wearing what appears to be a brown parka; He was shooting a scene that day with the brown one.)
Conclusion: The character of Han Solo has a blue parka.

Can we talk more about the figure than the colors Brown and Blue? I have put my opinion into it and basically you can't go wrong with both. You score with both. Both colors look great. Lets get back on track now shall we? As Harrison Ford said "Who gives a ****!"
It is an awesome figure. 
Can't wait to get Han and Luke. Definitely want to pick up the Taun Taun down the road. My Hoth display will be awesome. Thinking of how I'm going to make the case and how I want it to look. This display has it's own. Too much awesome in this.
