    Mantenna eyes in a weapons pack?

    Toyguru said no plans at this time, however, I think fan interest is there for getting the original vintage figure's eyes in a weapons/accessories pack.

    This is by no means a thread to change Mantenna, He is perfect. I simply think it would be fun to get the original toy's eyes to change the look.

    The original toy had blue pedicels and white bloodshot eyes.

    example:

    Yeah, I could go for those! Plus, since I usually get two of each weapons pack, I'll have an extra pair of eyes to mess with!

    I totally want the vintage bloodshot eyes!

    Not only is it the classic look for Mantenna, it was also immortalized in TTT!

    Sure. That would be a fun no tooling required option for Mattel.

    I am 100% on board with this idea.

    Not having the bloodshot eyes is my only disappointment concerning Mantenna, one of my favorite characters.

    I was hoping Mantenna would be done in the vintage style but with four separate legs. Other than not having his vintage eyes, he turned out just as I hoped. So, if Mattel can find a way to produce the vintage bloodshot eyes, Mantenna will be just about perfect for me.

    I'm just fine with the Animated styled eyes, so I voted no, because I don't care about them, and this version of Mantenna is exactly what I hoped for. But, maybe someday they'll do it because they would be a nice addition to him, for the Vintage fans, and I'd have a set for nostalgic purposes, I still have my Vintage figure.

    I'm always down for anything vintage...except dental procedures.

    Yeah. I'm all over this. I don't mean to take away from the figure because it is phenomenal, I would really love some vintage blood shot eyes as well. That would make him perfect.

    The eyes seem like an easy add in for a weapons pack or somewhere else. The tooling is now there, so hopefully Mattel gets these vintage eyes out.

    While unneccessary, I'd be up for it!
    Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

    Because we wouldn't use them.

    If were gonna make cosmetic changes to Mantenna, I'd much rather get a Don Knots face/head.
