My first thought was he's wearing contacts for his role as commentator, then I realised he still had glasses on.

I didn't check his trivia section before writing this. It could be it got changed when updating his model by mistake, in which case is it now canon? But like you say, eyes are important, as Neo, Cinder, Yang and arguably Ruby prove.

Yeah I noticed the wrinkles too, all the models seem to have way more detail.
