I know I\'ll catch a bit of flack here, but eh, I\'m too damn old to care much anymore.
For MODEL KITS, I firmly support recasters if I can get a kit A) Cheaper, and most importantly B) get a kit that is no longer being produced.
Say I wanted a Screamin\' Freddy kit. Am I gonna pay hundreds of bucks for an original one on ebay? Hell no, if I can get the same kit recasted for a quarter of that price. Yes, there are differences, I\'m sure, but with my modeling skills, and painting skills, I can make it purty enough for my liking.
I honestly don\'t see the huge deal here. The whole debate of recasting has been driven into the ground on this, and many other boards. It amazes me how so many jumped right at Bill for this. Like he has said, all he wanted to do was make a decent mask. I\'m sure if he knew he\'d get this much crap for his efforts, he wouldnt have even bothered.
For what it\'s worth Bill, I think it\'s a very awesome mask. I\'ll tell ya, if I didn\'t already have a Myers mask from Andy, I\'d be wanting one of yours. No matter WHERE it came from. I buy what I like, and frig what other people think of it. I\'m too old to be worrying what other people think of me, and I cut the apron strings a friggin long time ago, and don\'t answer to anyone but myself now.
