The Aurimat Man-e-Faces variant is distinguished by its light, pale skin tones, grayish-blue accents, fuchsia-colored chest tubes, a very dark purple head knob, and cheek highlights.
Originally released during the second year of the Los Amos del Universo production (1985), this version is marked © MATTEL INC. 1982 FRANCE behind the head. It includes a dark orange, opaque, and very rigid gun also marked FRANCE. This initial release was available with either regular (human-sized) eyes or notably small eyes.
In 1986, a second version appeared, now using Taiwan molds. This figure is marked © MATTEL INC. 1982 TAIWAN, though it retains the same FRANCE-marked gun. This later release is typically found with the small eye variant; a regular eye version has yet to be confirmed. Among collectors, the TAIWAN-stamped version is considered significantly rarer than the earlier FRANCE-stamped release.
