Quote:so what you are saying is you have a blank recast of a screen used mask?

I know that\'s a joke, but...
It\'s not ANY screen used mask...It\'s THE first screen used mask ever created. This mask\'s parent helped spawn an entire plethora of films, both of its respective series and knock-offs. My mask\'s parent was used in the Part 4 Poster, and has become an easily recollected image for most of us on this board - burned into our memories. A perfect replica of one of the top most recognizable horror icons in existence. That\'s a level that you can\'t reach with Myers or bubba. Freddy masks ARE out there, if you know the right people, but they\'re just not really available to small-time collectors like myself. Even if they were, you couldn\'t really recast a Freddy mask and expect similar mind-blowing results, as it would be made of foam latex, and one of many various stages of brittle. These hockey masks were built to last. ABS plastic and fiberglass structures assure their existence for years to come. That is the reason that we can all collect these wonderful (or horrible, even) copies of them today.
Furthermore, this mask has sharper features than any hockey mask I\'ve ever owned or seen. I own a NIGHTOWL part 5 that\'s apparently pulled from a Cropsy mold, and although quite nice in its own right, when compared, this blank makes it look soft as hell. There are a lot of very prominent features on this blank that are barely even existent on ...well,...EVERYTHING else.
Only a collector or obsessed maniac would really be concerned with these slight differences, though.
To anyone else it\'s a misshapen, old piece of plastic.
