Hey, so I need your guys' help in finding out the background behind this mask. It is a Jesse Ventura Mask (presumably from around his gubernatorial campaign) as his mug looks pretty identical to his book cover "I Ain't Got Time to Bleed." I've loved Jesse since I was a kid and I now I love the guy as a political leader. Does anyone know anything about the maker of this mask? I know it's not horror, but I ask - considering that you guys are a field of experts when it comes to latex and mass production (insert joke here).I bought this guy on eBay and asked the seller about the background. He said that it was probably a mass-produced mask around the time of his election.<!--coloro:#FFFF00<span style=\"color:#FFFF00\"><!--/coloro<b>I just don't believe this.</b><!--colorc</span><!--/colorcI want to believe this was made by an independent artist for a couple reasons.<!--coloro:#00FF00<span style=\"color:#00FF00\"><!--/coloro<b>First of all</b>, mass-produced political masks are usually a cheaper plastic material and not a thick-latex pull.<b>Second of all</b>, the artistry is generally a little too good for a mere mass-produced mask, no?<b>Third of all</b>, the mask is uncut (what mass-produced masks sell uncut?)<b>Fourth</b>, there is no branding on the back neck or anywhere.

Don't mass-produced masks usually have larger eye holes for legal/safety reasons?<!--colorc</span><!--/colorc<img src=\"http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/296/dsc01282a.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://www.audiobooksonline.com/media/037540760X.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><!--sizeo:4<span style=\"font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo<b>Can anyone throw me a bone?
