Ok, the regular face does look better installed. Will probably buy this despite the fact that the goggled face looks like it's wearing Willy Wonka's glasses.

The first couple of packaging shots come from the Transformers Galaxy Hong Kong Fans Group. The second set of images from ACToys give us a look at the face plates installed on TFX-04C Protector. Both sets of images mirrored below.

E.D., do you ever sleep???

-rant over-

I agree. Showing us a faceplate that isn't attached to the helmet is pretty pointless.

guys. check the first post

i think it looks good, and solves my only issue with the toy. the provided face was just a tad too generic looking for me.

If I'm not mistaken, that was just in the helmet, not on the figure.

Does anyone else think the head with the visor makes him look like Proto Man from the Mega Man series?

Good question. El Duque's certainly been squeezing the internet dry of news for a while now.

On topic, looking at the packaging I'm not sure if I'd be ordering a Transformers upgrade or Rodimus themed tuna fish.

looks decent goggle version looks power ranger / captain power look to him

I'm not a fan of the visored face but the normal one looks good. I may pick up a set anyways just to get rid of the blemish from the FP original.

Goggle version looks terrible, but I like the other. Would still like to see a side by side comparison, which I suppose I could do myself if I stopped being lazy. About the most important factor at this point is the cost...and it's unfortunate we'd have to pay extra for that crappy goggle version. I thought maybe I could find someone to go it with who preferred the goggled one, but after seeing the end results, I think that group just became a highly endangered species.

Heh.

I don't like the visor face... it's too... goggly. Or something. So if I get it at all (not very likely), it's only for the normal face.

I'm sure Daniel Protoman would like that, since he's crazy about all that is Hot Rod and Protoman.

Wow... after viewing this article I kind of want to get this addon for my addon now!

For those interested, here's a few more images of the new faces installed on Protector courtesy of TF Galaxy:

Anyone interested in the fugoggled face, I'll do a 75/25 split on the cost and ship for free.

I like this, can't decide which face looks better, the one with eyes or the visor one. I also like the packaging, although I fear it will make the set more expensive, seeing that it looks to be made of metal.

The face without the visor looks great, excellent work.

Wow seeing these latest pics I think I will bite.

It's probably just a generic mint-tin type thing, I'm sure it doesn't add much to the cost.

I actually might need to get this. Those last pics look pretty damn good. I wonder if BBTS will offer it?
