Set Information

The set's foil pack

The set consists of 50 pieces.

By combining pieces from Splitface with pieces from 6217 Surge, one can build a non-canon combination model. Pieces from Splitface can also be combined with pieces from 6201 Toxic Reapa and 6216 Jawblade in order to create an unnamed villain who escaped during the Breakout.

Features

The set features a Poison Plasma Gun, which is a variation of the Meteor Blaster. On the foil pack's front art's background shows Mark Surge, a Hero from the Surge set and who is chasing after Splitface in the the Sigma Sigma system.

Collectibles

The set includes a gunmetal gray piece and its red counterpart that form Splitface's helmet by connecting them to the opposite sides of his head. The helmet pieces are reversible. The set also has a printed torso armor piece. It has a Hero Core. Printed underneath the Core is a code called a Hero Code, which could be entered in an online game called Breakout in HeroFactory.com in 2012, to earn 300 Hero Points. The Hero Core is not used in Splitface's construction, but can possibly be placed on any of his armor pieces for storage.

Trivia

• Splitface's helmet looks somewhat like Thunder's.
• Splitface is taller than the 2012 medium-sized Hero sets, Core Hunter from 6222 Core Hunter, Voltix from 6283 Voltix, and Speeda Demon from 6231 Speeda Demon.
• Splitface is the only set to have two pieces connected to the opposite sides of his head to form a helmet rather than a traditional full helmet piece connecting to the top of the head.
• Splitface is one of the four only sets to have a transparent green Hero 1.0 head piece, the others being 6202 Rocka, 6203 Black Phantom, and 6221 Nex.
