The original helmet is probably based on the RotS helmet, which was made perfectly symmetrically, which kind of ruined some of the charm on a subconscious level.

 No, the figure's helmet is definately based on the OT.  The whole figure is meant to be the ANH version, and does a very good job of it I might add.  It's interesting b/c when pics of the prototype were released, the helmet was perfect.  Then, sometime during production, something changed and what you see is what we got.  The facemask was still spot on, but the helmet was off.  But not unsalvageable, as you see.

And, yes, he comes with two fisted hands, two gripping hands (for the lightsaber), and one open right hand with fingers outstreched.  He also comes with a lit lightsaber and an unlit one that can hang on the belt.
