SUMMARY

Initially released in 1985, the Spain Man-e-Faces features dark blue armor tones with bright pink highlights, and a dark purple head knob and face tones.

There are two notable variants: the standard edition marked FRANCE, and a rarer reedition marked MALAYSIA. The latter is especially interesting, as Malaysia never produced a Man-e-Faces mold.

The France-marked figure comes with black leg bands, while the Malaysia-marked version uses translucent leg bands.

Skin tones vary considerably between the two. The France-marked figure has a pinkish hue to the skin, while the Malaysia-marked version shows a more yellow tone on the arms and torso, paired with pinkish legs similar to the France release.

Both figures include the same red blaster, stamped FRANCE.
