It also interesting how Phasma doesn't have a textured head under the helmet. We already know who plays the character, so why bother making it a mystery. Makes you wonder if there's something special going on about Phasma.

That's what I am curious about too. I was thinking "well maybe it's just because she'll never be seen taking her helmet off, as Boba Fett didn't either in the OT, therefore adding to the mystery of the character?" ...but even the Boba Fett Lego minifig has a face (thanks to the PT?)... So yeah I'm wondering also why hers is just black. Maybe she is actually a cyborg/droid and her face/head is just the helmet that we see? Not sure I'd like that, though.

You're probably right about her face remaining a mystery in TFA. And yes, Boba Fett having a face on the current Legos is a PT thing. I went looking through my old SW Legos that I got when I was about seven or eight years old, which was right after TPM had come out, and a few years before AOTC retconned his appearance. And what do you know, Boba Fett didn't have a face, just a black head like Phasma has now; http://i.imgur.com/didxLGc.jpg
