MOTUC Man-E-Faces speculation/discussion thread

**RockinHard** · August 25, 2009, 05:07pm

This is one of my most-wanted figures, along with Ram-Man, Evil-Lynn and Sorceress.

**Torvik** · August 25, 2009, 05:14pm

This Old Sorcerer is convinced we'll get him in 2010 (given the points given by others about possible parts reuse). I'm hoping for Man-E-Faces, Cy-Klone and Two-Bad all in one year, but that is definitely too much to ask for, I believe...

(2 out of three wouldn't be bad though!)

I had totally thought they were selling the MOTUC line in the original order of the vintage figures, but they blew that when they passed on Teela. All bets are off in my mind now. IT'S RUINED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Teela-Na** · August 25, 2009, 06:09pm

Slightly off topic, but would people want Man E Faces with orange skin like the classic figure or ordinary flesh colored skin like the card back art and mini comics?

**DO4M** · August 25, 2009, 06:34pm

I'm all up for having multiple face dial heads. They could even come in their special weapons pak. "man-e-man-e man-e faces pak"
If multiple face dial heads are a no-no would you guys be ok with additional "Clip-on faces" like Zartan from G.I. Joe has?

I think this most plausible idea. Imagine a set of 4 or 5 different "dial head" themes and perhaps each dial would have a different coloured/design spin toggle switch.

Given that Tri-Klop's visor spins to display his different eyes, I don't see why Man-E-Faces wouldn't also have the old feature included when he's eventually released.

**DO4M** · August 25, 2009, 07:54pm

I meant that if the suggestion of multiple dial heads to swap so man-3-faces could have more than 3 faces is rejected, maybe we could have clip on faces in addition to the traditional 3. The MOTUC already can swap heads, but the only guy who should get the most out of that gift is being hindered by a helmet and a spinning dial

I know it is doubtful but I would love to see Evil-Lyn, Man-E-Faces, Mekaneck, and Ram Man released in 2010 to complete the first 2 series of the vintage line in MOTUC. That's 4 characters out of the 9 months of characters left to be announced for 2010, so the odds are not that bad.

**Faceless Glow** · August 25, 2009, 11:05pm

This is actually one "good guy" I'm looking foward to. Most good characters are flat affect, undeveloped where as evil characters are fleshed out, more interesting and overall better designed, it's just that in kids shows they dumb down the bad guys. They let the good guys always win which teaches kids a good message. But not a true representation of real life. Since we are all adults, we need an adult media form to go along with this line. Not smut, with just violence and no story, but something that is well written with some adult content to wow us on multiple levels. Some well thought out violent battles, stories were evil gets it's day to win a few battles.

**Patreek** · August 26, 2009, 12:44am

I think if nothing else they can do what they are doing with BA he-man's chest armor for the faces on his helmet

**okydoky** · August 26, 2009, 07:45am

Dial head only please, unless Mattel changes his name to Snap-e-faces ..

**Mike Bock** · August 26, 2009, 09:48am

I am sure they'll use the dial head.Snap heads wouldn't look cool and the 4 H love thier stuff to look cool.

I just hope that this time they paint MEF flesh and not orange.

**Uninvited Ghost** · August 26, 2009, 10:27am

I think it's an awesome idea. If they could do the classic dial AND swapped heads... that'd be AMAZING.

**Kevenn** · August 26, 2009, 11:24am

I suspect that Man-E-Faces will end up being the flesh colored one this time. He was like that on the cardbacks, and the 4H had his 2-up for the 200x line painted the flesh color. I think MOTUC will be the line they finally make it happen in.

**Uki** · August 26, 2009, 06:21pm

I'm hoping and believing that we'll get the dial-head. I also think we'll eventually see both orange-skinned and cardback/mini comic versions. It'd be great if other Classics heads fit into the helmet for Man-E as well, so he can impersonate others!

Flesh tone for sure. I've always hated the orange. I want him to be like MAA and Mer-Man - cardback accurate.

I absolutely love this idea. Give Man E Faces the classic turn style head that can be removed with the possibility of inserting heads from other characters. That would be a true upgrade if it can be done!

**Torvik** · August 26, 2009, 06:55pm

Man-E-Faces without the dial head just wouldn't be Man-E-Faces... he'd just be Many-Replaces and that's just not right!

**tpatt** · August 31, 2009, 01:03pm

Does anyone know when we will see a Man-E-Faces figure in the MOTUC line? If so, when? Is there a list out there I can pull up of who is getting produced and what month he/she will be on sale? Thanks.

I think it's a given that he WILL be released......probably sometime in 2010.

We shall see!

**DJ_Convoy** · August 31, 2009, 01:13pm

I'd have to think that it will be awhile before we see anybody especially exotic, like a Man-E-Faces. Too much new stuff to be sculpted, plus the head gimmick...

**TuShan** · August 31, 2009, 01:32pm

I strongly expect him somewhere in 2010, his arms and legs have already been made for Trap-jaw/Kronis, he could reuse He-Ro's "loincloth", his chest could be done with an "armour" over a normal one, and the head would have to be a completely new piece. Not too much new tooling, so I'm expecting to see him soon.

No orange skin please. He's not an umpa loompa.

Again, I'd love for Man-E-Faces to look just like his packaging artwork.
- Normal flesh tones.
- Deep navy blue.
- Purples instead of pinks.
