Now...if only they would've announced a 6" Mara Jade.

Because they aren't based on real people it's very easy to say they look good or not. The figures based on the movies are based on real people that we can look at and compare to say things like "oh the nose is wrong." It's like looking at the Marvel Legends based on the comic versions. There isn't a real person to compare them to and then in the comics they never look 100% the same from artist to artist so as long as the figure gets certain details right (eye color, hair-style, general face shape, etc.) we say it's good.

I doubt Hasbro will do Mara Jade any time soon unless she is brought back into canon via Rebels as an altered version of her old form, like how they brought Thrawn in. She was on the same fan poll as Jaina and she did miserably, damn near last place. I was seriously thrown because all I ever used to hear about regarding the old EU was how popular Mara Jade was and how everyone liked Mara Jade but then she got absolutely destroyed in that poll.
