Getting rid of the silver is a huge win imo — it always ruined the balance of the scarlet/black sash with the logo.
I agree the no-trim shoulders are a bit plain. Think these would have popped more with a solid red trim like the 1992-2000 era sets had.

For your bullet point number 2, I think we need a Justice-in-Exile Most Wanted list, with each individual DOGE/Trump lawbreaker having his own social-media shareable Wanted poster listing his major crimes and linking back to all the detailed prosecutorial briefs. Let’s make this fun, and serious.
