I\'m 23 years old. I had a crappy mask collection in the 6th grade but slowly went over to star wars toys and collectibles throughout high school. Growing up I used to go into a store called PIPS and was well aware of Don post and distortions. I found NIGHTOWL and the HMA when I was 17 through dumb luck... I was looking for street hockey equiptment on ebay when I found a CHM part 6 hockey mask and needed to have it! I had dreamed of a \"real\" Jman mask since i was a kid and it was huge for me. 6 years later i\'m more into masks than I ever thought I would be. I guess i\'ve been collecting my entire life but it\'s evolved to monster toys,masks, and props. I still do a few small Star wars projects because it\'s my first collecting obsession.
Why do I collect? I always have and always will. it\'s the thrill of the hunt. Developing a collection that your proud of and carefully choosing what to add next. I love it!!
Oh and the people of course....I look forward to conventions and visits with other collectors more than anything now. One of my best friends is a mask collector and he\'s like my right hand man when it comes to this stuff and anything else lol
