This was actually my first high end piece. I got it from Martin Jay Sadoff, 3-D Consultant on “Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D.” He was trying to sell it on eBay in late 1999 and early 2000 <b>without</b> pictures and this was before really any good Hockey Masks were out there. He listed in the description that it was <u>used</u> in the movie “Friday the 13th Part 3.” I jumped on it for $1000. Again, he said he couldn’t send me any pics and he promised that I would not be disappointed. You could imagine the disappointment when I received it. The story from Martin then changed to it being used during a stint on Entertainment Tonight on a segment where someone wearing this mask slashed thru a screen to scare Mary Hart the host. Who cares?! I wanted my money back, he refused and eBay stood behind him thinking it was the mask even after I showed them pics of it. And guess what, about 1 month later he said he had the original mold from Martin Becker and was trying to pawn that on me for $2000. Thru the years I’ve heard that he’s had a “Powder Problem” (wink wink, hint hint.) and the money I sent him went to pay the people he owed because he apparently owed some big wigs in the business. (But that’s what I heard, I don’t know if I WANT to believe it’s true or it is.)Every day I look at this mask and utter disappointment.<img src=\"http://i38.tinypic.com/e7ndkx.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

I think the first high end piece I bought was Russ Lukich's Bud (Bub from Day of the Dead) Shortly thereafter, I remember getting Pennywise from Chuck Jarman of Bump back when he was doing custom pieces!

The first non-store bought mask for me was the part 3 leatherface mask from Dementia Productions. I still have it today.Tom

My first high end mask was an Evilution. I was looking at Myers masks online trying to find one that looked better than "the mask" and I found a site that was comparing the independent Myers masks. I contacted Justin, but he wasn't selling them at the time, so I had to watch eBay. I got one of the first run Nightowl/HMA copies.<a href=\"http://upload.creamedgeezer.com/images/3-30_evilution1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"> <img src=\"http://upload.creamedgeezer.com/images/thumb/3-30_evilution1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /> </a>

First High End Mask? - shadowmyst - 08-05-2008
Obviously if anyone hasn't known by now, my first high end mask was the spfx fred. Paid the price for it literally! I first heard about it on some guy's website while I was searching for Freddy masks on google which eventually led me to these forums.
First High End Mask? - FreddysNightmare - 08-05-2008
My first high end was my Freddy "Cocco," silicone that I got recently. I am very happy with it, so the fact that it costed me a small fortune doesnt make me feel bad because I know I will enjoy it for years. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" />
