The Wheel of Features is a retro toy that can make over 10,000 silly faces.
i think one can assume four facial framings of three positions (“mouths, eyes, noses”) each with fourteen options, or [winds cardboard Curta furiously]: 4*(14³) → 10976 faces. which indeedy exceeds ten thousands.

Oh nooooo, it’s “retro” but it has a copyright date of 2000, and even has a URL on the back!
(If it had an AOL keyword, would it be antediluvian?)
If anyone’s wondering: Bruce Blitz on IMDB. (Seems he does not qualify for a Wikipedia page.)

Reminds me of the game “Mug Shots”. The game was fairly simple, you’d look at a face and then try to faithfully recreate it from memory.
