Replacement Face for FansProject Protector by DR. WU

Granted, Fansproject did the job of engineering this wonderful and complicated upgrade, and all this guy did was face.... I like it. Sorry FP, but this looks good. Not taking anything away from FP, they did a bang up job, but the face has always been a sore spot for me. Might be this....

Call me an idiot but I'm struggling to see the point in this. As far as I can tell the only difference is that the eyes are slightly smaller. Is it meant to cover the Classics/Henkei/RTS Hot Rod head more so there isn't that chin/neck thing going on?

Most of the face is pretty different, a little more G1 looking.





I like this new face. If it's well-painted and cheap I might buy it.

"Nngh!!! Well... since you... put it that way..."

I do actually like this new face myself now. If the quality is good and they get the colours right then I'll bite. I imagine it won't be that expensive.

So a 3rd Party is making a 3rd party part for a 3rd party piece...?

I agree. The face on Protector should have looked more like this upgrade to begin with.

I'll be honest... I never liked G1 Rodimus Prime's face, which is why I'm more than fine with the fact that FP didn't replicate it. Still, people will be picky and want this thing anyway to make their protectors MORE GEEWUN, but to me it's a waste of plastic.

Next.

Bah, waste of money here. I like the original face just fine.

Even left unpainted, this one looks way better. If it's reasonably priced, it's as good as bought.

definatally worth buying if the price is right. Sometimes Fansproject goes a little to far left field to be original as with Protectors head. Time for a G1 upgrade.
