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. Additionally, they are all completely unmarked. The main differences between the various TT Man-e-Faces variants lie in the paint applications. All share the same standard MEF blaster marked 1,2,3,4,5 or 6.

The standard, or “common,” Man-e-Faces typically show 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 a few variations, but are quickly distinguished by their light pink tubes, not seen on "common" editions. One version has painted thigh guards, while the other variant has thigh guards unpainted. Both featuring the light pink tubes.

The reeditions appeared in multiple combinations but are recognized for their unique blues and light pink tubes. Two of these reeditions are unique in that the legs are injected in blue, rather than the standard flesh tone. Thigh guards can be painted pink or remain unpainted. The arms can have flesh tones painted (half or full), or can be completed unpainted. An additional reedition can have the legs injected traditionally in flesh color, but have unpainted thigh guards and unpainted arms.
