Although some of you might know this already, I thought I'd formally announce it.Back in November, Justin Mabry and I were talking about how crappy Halloween masks are in retail stores these days. One thing lead to another and I made the decision to quit my Silicon Valley job and start a company to sell Wholesale to Resellers and direct to mask goers online. I appointed Justin as my Art Director and hired Erich Lubatti, Darren Robert and Eric Pigors to move forward with the company. The masks, the website and everything goes live Friday the 26th of February and we're exhibiting at TransWorld in Rosemont, IL on the 2/26 as well.Our goal is to bring collector quality masks to the masses at affordable prices and I think we've achieved that goal.We're currently taking orders and building our initial inventory and the first wave of masks will ship in August. Also, all web orderS will start to go out in August as well, so if you want one of the first waves of masks, order now. We have full head masks and face masks. We have licenses with Eric Pigors to do the Toxic Toons, Universal Studios to do the Fun House Monster, Cedar Fair to make face masks to be sold at the Halloween Haunt events at all their parks, and we're currently working with Chaney Entertainment as well as Trancas. So things should be fun.Check out the site when it goes live this Friday and order soon if you want first wave delivery in August.Thanks for everyone's support,Chriswww.trickortreatstudios.com<img src=\"http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc55/zephro98/trickortreatlogo.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

Well, if the finishing jobs are going to be done in another country, i.e. Mexico or China, I'm not sure how great these masks will turn out. All of us who are in this hobby have seen a great sculpt from an artist, only to turn out like crap, due to it's subpar finishing work.Good Luck.

This is an awesome idea bro!!!Are you going to be offering gloves as well as masks.Finding well fitting ,realistic ,affordable costume hands is always a pain.You see some Fred hands out there,and of course Justins 7 hands, but I would love to see some part 6, and JGTH style hands that do not break the bank.I think Erich did up some part 6 hands a while back if I am not mistaken.I am quite excited to see what comes of this.
