** Little Red's glasses from {{TwoStupidDogs}}
** Funky Kong from the DonkeyKongCountry cartoon.

* Sissel from ''{{Ghost Trick}}'' wears [[http://www.temsikpark.com/media/portraits/Ghosts/yomiel-smile.gif a pair of sunglasses]], which most of the time bend ever so subtly to match his expression. [[http://www.temsikpark.com/media/portraits/Ghosts/yomiel-huh.gif Key]] [[http://www.temsikpark.com/media/portraits/Ghosts/yomiel-shock.gif word being]] [[http://www.temsikpark.com/media/portraits/Ghosts/yomiel-evil.gif 'most']].

* Many of the SuperRobots from SuperRobotWars have flexible faces. Special mention goes to Valsione, which has a distinctly humanoid face that expresses the same emotion as its pilot.

* Averted by Usopp's Sogeking mask in ''OnePiece'', which generally ''hides'' his expressions to make him look calmer, but even then you can see his jaw sticking out from the bottom of it in a WildTake.
** Brook can do this with his skull head. This happens particularly often whe he's in battle, when he'll often have [[AngryEyebrows angry eyesockets]].

* The mask SlyCooper and the gang wear are quite expressive, Sly is never seen without it!

* Death 13's mask during the Death 13 mini-arc in ''WebVideo/VaguelyRecallingJoJo''. Seen when Kakyoin is stabbing "Baby Stand" into his arm and when Death 13 is seemingly triumphant over Hierophant Green.

* ''ComicStrip/ThePhantom''. Arguably the TropeMaker since he's been doing it since 1936, four years before Batman and TheSpirit existed.

* ''TheSpirit'' has a domino mask that's very flexible and shows expression very well.

* Mr. Earthworm wears expressive sunglasses in the film of ''JamesAndTheGiantPeach'' to compensate for his lack of actual eyes, as an [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin earthworm]].

* Alphonse Elric from ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'' could be remarkably expressive with his helmet, despite the fact that it never moved (even when he talked; his voice came from inside the armor). He's actually able to blush visibly, despite being a soul bound to an empty suit of armor. The helmet only changes when he's drawn as {{chibi}}. Which happens fairly often -- possibly because of this trope. The rest of the time it never changes.

* Legion in ''MassEffect2'' has several articulated plates around his [[CyberCyclops single eye]], capable of approximating organic facial expressions like surprise or interest. The effect is similar to Iron Giant and Transformers mentioned above.

* ''VForVendetta'': His mask does not move, but lighting effects are used to make it more expressive. If you don't show the eyebrows, he looks innocently happy, but focusing on them makes him look more formidable.

* While for the majority of ''VForVendetta'' movie V's mask is just a mask, several scenes have been digitally edited so that the mask moves very, very slightly. The idea was, because people are so used to masks not moving, if they saw the eyebrow go up an unnoticeable fraction, it would make a huge subconscious difference. And it did, obviously. Watch the mask just before the big fight towards the end. It helps that it already looks a bit CGI in its normal form, but watching closely you can see it move the tiniest bit.

* {{Ant-Man}} from ''WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' might have a broader range of expressions with his mask than without. Comicbook/MsMarvel can also express a range of emotions with her mask.
