It does keep an interesting expression on the face, but I think for my display, I will trim out the eyes and replace with some nice glass eyes.Overall I'm quite pleased with this mask. I did ask for it to be uncut with no slit up the back, but I guess he doesn't offer them that way. Luckily, the cut is very clean, and I can probably seal it up carefully with some latex or rubber cement depending on how I build the body for the display.Need to get some leather pants and the knee high boots. I have a leather trenchcoat, but the movie was more of a soft wool. Might be able to find something similar at a second-hand store and can sew in the red/green strips on the inside.The sweater in this film was also unique, in that the red stripes were a different fabric from the green, and slightly raised as if they were added onto a green sweater/knit turtleneck separately.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndInteresting to hear about the slit. When I bought mine, DMC was not putting slits in, and even included notes with masks stating that this was because so many collectors wanted to use them for display only. So much for that I guess...Good luck replicating the sweater. It will be difficult to do accurately, since as you note it was knit from two different materials. I believe Susan at Custom Sweaters has experience doing one like it, from two materials (ask her about the one she did for a horror museum), but it may not have had the inverted color pattern, full turtleneck, etc. I would love to see someone replicate this sweater accurately.
