I don\'t think they look totaly bad at leats there not overpriced like some of there masks. but I also think that the eyes are off a lil or around that area is off I dono. I think they can be improved.

AT LEAST
at least he is not practicing the mask makers version of bait and switch
where a website puts up pictures of a mask that looks good and then sends you one that does not look as good..cough cough... rubies..cough

they\'re ok, i\'ve seen worse, alot worse! mikes right it\'s all about personal preference, had i seen those 2 years ago i would have snapped one up!
Yeah they did kinda fuck up with the whole \'screen accurate\' stuff with the straps and the tri\'s so from that angle i hear what people are saying would be interesting to see one that someone has ordered as i\'m sure thats got to be prototype paint jobs!
did that sound bitchy? it was\'nt ment to!

I\'d rather own a goalie terror, hopefully Sean will get a look at this thread and make some changes.

They\'re off to a good start, the masks don\'t look bad. It looks like what they\'ve really used is some sort of resin to make their masks though. They need to use styrene and get considerably thinner... maybe abs. A few don\'t have accurate straps like they say, but they\'ll get there, I suppose. Some of the masks don\'t have the correct top coat either, but I think its a nice start and they\'ll get better if they listen to people\'s thoughts.

Here is Sean\'s answer
"There has been a lot of chatter on other boards about the paint jobs and thickness of the hockey masks etc. Why they never actually come to the source for the answers is beyond me. So let me try to answer some of the questions here.
Q: Why do the masks look so thick and why are the paint jobs and/or finishing not up to normal SSN quality.
A: The masks in the photos were a rushed job for a display piece used at the 25th Anniversary Friday the 13th Convention. As you have seen with our previous NEW BLOOD line with the proper time Brad can and will do an amazing job. As for the thickness they do appear to be too thick and that is because the ones in the photos are all fiberglass and not the ABS plastic we will be selling. You have to understand that we get bombarded with people begging us to get up new photos and such so they can order so we put up the only photos we had available. Brad has been out of town working on films in fact right now he is in Utah on the set of "I\'ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer" and has been too busy to make new displays. As soon as we can get the actual photos of the product we will be shipping then we will change them on the site. I just wanted to get something up there to try and satisfy people for the time being and in turn started up a whole new controversy. And at the low prices we are offering these at I am surprised at the backlash.
Q: Why do you say that they are from a screen used movie mold?
A: Every hockey mask we make originally came from a mold made off of the part 3 mask. We are making all of ours from the actual mold used for part 6 & 7 which is the same used for the others. I don\'t mean for this to be misleading because I assume the fans that buy our products know their stuff just as good as us. But the bottomline is they are being made from the Part 7 mold which is a movie mold how ever you want to look at it. And the X mask is molded off of Kane\'s screen used mask.
I hope this helps answer some "burning" questions. -Clark"

Quote:I am pretty darn sure they will get way better as soon as they get feedback on the ones they have!!!!...but I think it will be weird if they offer leather straps for the part 3 mask...screen accurate?..anyway i also have to say and frankly i know ryan bean and mike will agree as will alot of you but those pulls look nothing like screen accurate pulls.., I am sure they will get better.Although those do have a visible lineage from the original molds, they are FAR removed from the actual original mold itself....They look like second or third generation copies....The surface detail is almost completely smoothed out, and the shape is very odd.
