You dawg, we heard you like upgrades. So we made an upgrade for your upgrade so you can upgrade while you upgrade.

Here's a novel idea, why don't they actually post a photo of this set ON PROTECTOR?!? These faces looks fine but it's annoying that they just don't go ahead and show them to us ON THE FIGURE.

No use for the one with the visor, but I do like the one on the left. Hmm.

I don't have any use for either. The face is practically the same as Protector. The only differences I see are the nose being wider, not tapering and the mouth. I dunno, these guys seem to be doing a bunch of WTF projects that I have no real interest in.

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

I'll 3rd that ^^. Looking at comparisons between the two, the new face does appear to be significantly better, but I can't really determine how 'necessary' it is without seeing it in use. And then probably equally as important, price. It could look amazing, but if it's not reasonably priced, forget it. How about $12 shipped? iGear was able to do that for two entire heads, a case for them, and a mini screwdriver...seems reasonable for a couple face plates to be no more expensive.

So does this upgrade just consist of the two new faceplates? I thought there was going to be a new helmet as well.

A face plate...your kidding, right ??? Well, I guess thats one way to avoid mixing the right shade of red plastic to match Protector. Better be under 10 bucks.

Dr. Wu, return to the 36 Chambers and bring back something better.

We have some packaged and installed images of Dr. Wu's DW-P01: Face Off replacement face plates for FansProject's Protector. 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.

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.

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?

:lol: 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.

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. :lol:

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. :P

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.

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?
