Ok, you gotta admit, that's pretty cool. Plus, if you have the one for Optimus, they now have different faces!

The goggled one looks mediocre, slightly better than the original, but probably not worth throwing money at. The other one...reminds me of that dude from that movie Mask, and not the lame Jim Carrey one.

This would be neat to add diversity to all the variations of the City Commander sets I have.

It makes it look more like Ultra Magnus I'm in on this one! The pricing is what bothers me, but it might be worth it.

Really? I'm perfectly happy with my City Commander's face.
I have the original version and I purchased the additional set which FansProject released later for the weapons and the extra face plates included are more than enough to vary the expression.
I honestly don't think these faces look very good - they don't fit the helmet properly for one, the faces extend lower than the originals and just don't look right IMHO.

the goggles face looks ok, but its not giving me an ultra magnus vibe. the one with the visible eyes just looks a bit derpy, the eyes are where the eyebrows should be. needs to be a bit cleaner looking and in proportion before i bite.
what ever happened to the protector faceplate? from what i saw it looked in proportion, sharply molded and was a vast improvement to the regular face that Protector came with.

The protector faceplate came out a while back.
And remember these are probably pretty early test sculpts.
But I have to agree with others, I have the faceplates that came with the weapon kit, and they are fine.
These faceplate upgrades are not something I anticipate ever spending $$$ on.

That guy probably aged better than Cher!
Back on topic, I like the goggled one. I may pick it up if the price is around the $10 mark and has an additional accessory included like a G1 based rifle for UM (not counting the extra face plate with yellow eyes, *gack*).
Mkall has a good point, this offering adds variety for those owning more than one City Commander set (DIA Commander, Powered Convoy, and Shadow Commander).

I dig the faces that come with CC, but these faces give more personality. The blue eyed one definitely says Ultra Magnus those other faces make him look like a mindless android with mad body armor, but they fit the bill. I'm just not big on paying $18 for a face when Firebolt/Sidearm only costed $10, but that's just me though, Ima get it anyway to turn City Commander to Ultra Magnus.

these "UPGRADES" are all nice and stuff......but when are we, the fans, going to get a brand new Ultra Magnus figure?
I'm talking a brand new figure from scratch. This challenge should be met by anyone; Hasbro/Takara or 3rd party or even 4th party.

That first faceplate they show looks awesome, I'll definitely be buying this. I have the alternate faceplates that came with the weapons pack/reissue CC set, but the face that came with CC always did bug me.
I use the Optimus Prime type faceplate for my DIA Commander, but this Dr. WU face will definitely be on my CC as soon as I can get my hands on it.

Eh... doesn't look like it does that much imo. FP effed up with having the bridge of the nose protected by the helmet armour... can't fix that unless you change the entire head.

I also feel the same way.
Why not just go all the way & create a 100% new head sculpt with weapons/accessories.
to just create the inner faces,seems kinda lacking/weird/whatever.
I ain't spending $10 or $15 or $20 bucks just for one or two one inch inner robot faces. I've got better things to spend my money on than one inch inner robot faces.
FWIW,I like the inner face my 3rd party city commander comes with. I see zero reason to replace it with the DR. WU version.
KOtoys.com that was partnered with CHMS was suspose to release a G-1 styled ultra magnus combining toy. the truck cab/bot part was rumored to be voyager sized. the trailer transformed into a suit of armor that fit around the voyager truck cab robot mode. the combined robot mode was rumored to be 8 inch ultra size or 9 inch leader size.
Kotoys.com & CHMS closed down,So the G-1 combining ultra magnus toy is rumored to be cancelled. This is a 3rd party company,so they might change names+addresses+sites & re-open up under a new everything. I guess we'll play the waiting game on this one.
A few months ago,A takara designer teased a pic of a G-1 styled ultra magnus trailer/armor for the MP-10 Convoy leader sized toy. some fans guesses,that their would be a MP-10 ultra magnus repaint with the new ultra magnus trailer/armor. sadly the shoulder joints were not universal. most guesses this would be fixed & it was only a first draft/stage proto type.

So this isn't for you or him then. Obviously any & every toy Hasbro or Takara makes isn't for everyone in a finicky niche like Transformers Collectors. Same goes with third party add-ons. Obviously an add-on kit for JUST the face is aimed at those who don't completely enjoy the few faces for any of the many Commander kits. Obviously some are with them.
Years of interaction with fellow fans, it still amazes me there are those who don't seem to understand that only what they want (ESPECIALLY in third party matters) doesn't dictate a standard. Two pages of almost similar sounding voices about this item, but the point doesn't sink in. Thought; If you're happy entirely with the face your 'Whatever'-Commander kit has, OBVIOUSLY this item isn't aimed at you. For those that don't feel the original faces do the rest of the incredible mold homage-justice, this is a win.
Folks should start being happier for the wins of their fellow fan-kin, rather than being overly critical of any & all items not set perfectly to their personal wants in collecting. It would be nice for a change.
S'also a big reason many TF fans eventually don't go to message boards after a while. I used to be big on all TF message boards in presence. No longer. This is merely the spark of the bonfire of why.
Peace out.

Eh champ, no need to get discouraged by others who have less years in the franchise on their belt. The majority of negative nancies are ones that aren't even committed to collecting or would rather bitch at photos than to experience the toy or figure in their own hands.
I've been in your seat before and it sucks.. and that's just how the world is. Not many people are going to change, you just gotta black that out and move on with what you enjoy.
In regards to this toy..
The money it costs could be put towards a Deluxe figure that I'll likely enjoy more than some face.

Generally speaking any descriptive term associated with male genitalia shouldn't be going in the 'win' column.
Sounds like you're asking people to only share their opinions if they're positive ones. The idea of a world where everyone is smiley, happy and polite 24/7 scares the crap out of me as nothing would ever happen. Progress comes about through disagreements and discussion. I don't expect things to change just because I may have an issue with it, but surely I'm allowed to say I don't like something if that's the case.
I agree with MINDVVIPE when he says that folk who are strongly affected by negative comments should perhaps step away from the interweb for a while. But I agree with Blurrz's comment about brushing them off even more. You simply shouldn't take it personally when someone you don't know or who doesn't know you disagrees with you about something (lets be honest) that is quite trivial.

I agree, if you're going to create a new face, why not a whole new head?
Look at iGear's heads for Generations Kup, they were in fact were the reason I bought that figure!
A new head could make City Commander look more like Magnus, but IMHO, these faceplates don't look right with the existing head.

I really like the look of these faces.
Makes me wonder if Dr Wu can make a replacement face for Botcon Ultra Magnus too..?

I think a statement like that is doing an injustice to some of the people who've posted comments on this thread, myself included.
There's no need for sweeping generalisations like that and I would think someone as respected and involved in the boards like you would know better.
I was born in 1982 and have been collecting Transformers for most of my life,
so I have plenty of years collecting under my belt.
I also buy third-party products, including new heads and faces so I'm not
negging all 3rd party companies either.
If you check out my profile I also do some customising and kitbashing, so I actually do appreciate how much work goes into creating things like this and that sculpting something like a face requires skill and precision.
Saying that, my opinion is such that I think the faces don't look right with the existing FansProject head and that for the cost of the set, the quality doesn't match the original FP faces.
While I don't consider myself an authority in the same leagues like yourself, I do consider myself a fan and collector that is deserved of my own opinion without being subjected to comments like that.
The whole basis of having boards like this is to express opinions, whether negative or positive and nobody should be made to feel like a scolded child, or that they've personally offended someone because of an opinion expressed on a 3rd party product.
Fair enough if someone left an unkind or negative comment on a custom someone had spent a lot of time on, but not in the case of a company manufacturing a product to make money on.

Eh champ, no need to get discouraged by others who have less years in the franchise on their belt. The majority of negative nancies are ones that aren't even committed to collecting or would rather bitch at photos than to experience the toy or figure in their own hands.

The Transformers Galaxy Hong Kong Fans Group have posted in-package and finished product images of Dr. Wu's DW-P03 Iron Will replacement face plates for FansProject City Commander. The faceplates come in a small tin just like their previous release DW-P01 Face Off.

damn am i the only one that thinks these look terrible! From the pictures the quality of these guys seem really bad. They arent clean cut and the paint is all over the place, reminds me off the joker head that came out.

Nope, I agree with you; they look bad.
These are a classic example of "just because you can doesn't mean you should".

The last few pictures look like a much better quality product compared to the first close up shots
just looking at the yellow eyes on the last 2 photos the paint apps look 100% more professional and the mould of the face seems to have a cleaner look to the detail(That could be down to the lighting)
Not realy something i find i need myself i dont think they make him look anymore like g1 magnus than the original face plate does well other than the big blue eyes , its been said and i agree the FP helmet stops that happening and a new head sculpt would have been the way to go
Im fine with FP head sculpt its not a figures head ive looked at and thought someone needs to sort that out but if someone did make one
It does seem like a waist of a deluxe to buy these i would hate to think the cost would be anymore than 12-15
I wish more 3rd partys should be making new head sculpts for all the straight up repaints that come out.

I see where they are going with this line. They are getting rid of the ugly fansproject chins and giving you the option of a visor. I bought the Protector set on e-bay so it should arrive in a few days. Ill save my judgements on quality for when the product is in my hands. Then ill make a decision on this set.

Paint apps could be better. I bought the Protector one and found the same dodgy paint apps there too. But in real life it isn't so bad unless you hold it close up.
Why yellow eyes? When has UM ever had yellow eyes? Dropped the ball on that face! I actually like the visored one, though. More G1 toon inspired .... maybe I'll get it. I mean, I have most of the other CC add-ons anyway ...

For those who think the paint apps are poor, would it be that hard to dip it in thinner and then repaint it ??? It's not brain sugery...

My last attempt at taking off paint melted the plastic of the TF I was hoping to mod a bit and got paint eveyrwhere.
Some of us just have no talent for it.
Besides, you shouldn't have to mod a product like this. Not when they sell for $20 (wish they'd just stow the metal tin and put it in a plastic baggie).
