Alternate Faceplate

[jimmcq]

We're all familiar with the Viva Pinata faceplate (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HZDETW/?tag=pinata-20) that was released a couple years ago, but what you haven't seen are any of the alternate designs that didn't make it to production like the one below from Rare.

LOL I love how the fudgehog's eye is the button :D

I...Think I can see why they didn't use this. It looks...Rather freaky...Well in my opinion at least...

Is this available to buy now?:confused:

It does look kinda nice! Doesn't it?

No, these were just possible designs for the VP faceplate that did get manufactured. In the end MGS went with the one you see in the shops. However, several team members bought third party 'print your own' faceplate kits and actually printed with one of these alternate designs on a colour printer.

BIGsheep bought a white faceplate and actually drew a VP faceplate using coloured pens. (Don't tell him, but it looked a bit rubbish :D)

That's exactly what I was going to suggest people could do. The Nyko GameFace (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F765AW/?pinata-20) is an example of such a product.

LOL, I'd much rather have that Fudgehog one then the other one.:D

[Fudgehog_Fan]

I so could use that fudgehog one altough I could never use it(remember my evil brother hates Viva Pinata)

[Pretztail4eva]

I like the one that was actually used the most. This one looks a bit bit, weird. And I dont like fudgehogs enough to have one as a face plate.
