    Okay, we have some major updates that we feel we need to inform you guys of.

    First, this mask still may be a part 3 recast, but it cannot be proven. There is too little evidence and only hearsay to go on. I\'m laying down this theory for the moment, and focusing on some new information I have about this blank.

    Second, I\'m about 96% certain that this blank is a first-generation part 6 mask, made from the movie mold. I\'ve found every single bump and dent that\'s on this pull in movie screen caps from part 6...Even the eyes\' precise shape and "curve" that was left intact when the eyes were cut smaller than they were meant to be. It\'s almost impossible to spot these things in part 3. There is just too little to go on....In part 6, they jump right out at ya if you know what you\'re looking for. Plus, this blank dates back to the 80s and is made of the same thickness of white styrene that the screen-used part 6 masks were made out of....Coincidence? I don\'t think so. Replicas didn\'t exist back then. Especially vac-formed ones. This thing is most likely an authentic part 6 movie pull, as is the one that "tommyjarvis13" owns.

    Mike and I are going to act accordingly with this new discovery and offer the part 6 versions FIRST, as opposed to last, like we had planned. Mike\'s also still making the mold currently, as he had a bit of a problem with the first buck that he needed to go back and fix. Nothing really serious, though. This project is unaffected. It will just take a bit longer to remold the urethane casting and fix the problems. The urethane buck came out BEAUTIFULLY, and if we can just get the friggin clay pour to come out as nicely, then we\'ll be back on track.

    Interesting. Does that mean you are you going to lower the price? Wouldn\'t your masks basically be the same as G.O.H.S. in that case? Btw, thats not meant to be rude or mean.

    No. These will be BETTER than GOH masks. =)

    They\'re first generation, remember? They\'re kinda like owning a screen used mask, except not.

    Also, tommyjarvis13, you have a PM. =D

    One last thing, I wonder why noone is giving you hell for recasting.

    This might sound like a dumb question, but how are you going to make more hockey masks from this blank with out cutting it out and recasting it? Please no negative remarks towards me just a potential customer trying to find out some information.

    They are recasting it, but you dont have to have the eyes and vent holes drilled out as long as they\'re indentions are clearly shown. Then all you have to do is cut out and drill the recasts.

    I\'m pretty sure G.O.H.S. masks came from a negative mold made from a screen used mask, so wouldn\'t that make them basically first generation masks?

    Krazedkilla: The way we molded this mask (from the INSIDE as opposed to the outside surface) will make first-gen replicas of this mask entirely possible.

    Vacuforming requires that a stone positive, or "buck" be made from a mold. This buck is then used on a vacuform table to pull the heated plastic sheet over. This plastic sheet forms to the buck and creates the masks that we all love. Since my blank is uncut, and remains uncut, we could make a mold of the INSIDE of the blank to make an exact copy of the stone buck that was used to originally vacuform this blank. This keeps the generation intact, and other than the few small changes in the buck to assure that the plastic forms well, these things will look exactly like mine in every way.

    If we were to mold the OUTSIDE of the blank, we\'d go down a generation, and the quality would be lesser, because then the surface of the blank would become the surface of the stone buck, and when plastic is formed over that, there will be some detail loss. THEN we\'d have GOH-gen masks.
