Hmmm interesting. I still haven't opened my Sauron helm from the last run UC made. Maybe I'll sell it while the demand is high and bank on UC making a premium version. I think the odds are good on UC following through with it. A new Witch King helm is still in the works, right?
Yes, that will happen, and the improved Sauron helm will definitely happen, I just don't know the timeline. I have the feeling the Sauron helm will be on the market first, as the development is essentially done. There was some talk about doing a large ME scale helm, but it's going to be more like the actor scale and include a banner.
There will be some other minor shape accuracy improvements, like the shape of the eye holes and length of the spikes. Considering no one seems to complain that every time Weta does a Sauron helm that the shape is different from the one before it, and none of them match the prop shape, I doubt it will be anything the people who own the UC original will be interested in. It's probably just going to appeal to first timers and people like you who may want something with better detailing than that second UC version.
