Man-e-Faces

The Top Toys Man-e-Faces figures varied notably in color combinations. For simplicity, we’ll focus on the most distinct variants. It’s worth clarifying that all versions—standard, pre-reedition, and reeditions—were produced using the same mold, featuring square arm pegs across the board. The main differences lie in the paint applications.

The standard, or “common,” Man-e-Faces typically shows lighter blue hues, with tubes ranging from dark purple to pink. Some examples display factory paint errors, such as one arm being only half painted. A rarer variant exists with fully unpainted dark blue arms.

There is also mention of a figure with unpainted flesh-tone legs, though this remains unconfirmed. It may be a custom with stripped paint or a genuine factory error. No MOC example of this variant has been documented.

The pre-reedition releases came in several variations. One version features lighter pink tubes paired with standard to dark blue body tones, while another shows unpainted thigh guards.

The reeditions appeared in multiple combinations but are recognized for their unique blues and light pink tubes. They generally have dark blue legs (without flesh tones), which may have either painted pink thigh guards or remain unpainted.
