2005 Nightowl Psycho #5

This was the sculpt that got me into the game so heavily. If anybody owns or owned a 2005 Nightowl Pshcho and has photos I’d love to see them! The detail in the first run truly kept that Kirk lineage :rock: bonus of 2005 Maniac photo pair I took :myers:

Oh man that is a beauty!! :open_mouth:
I frigging love the Psycho, it’s such a classic piece and one of my favorite myers mask ever made! I went thru a big “05” phase years back and I was able to obtain a decent collection of them! These suckers were made to last, built like a tank! Each copy is unique in its own way!

I really need to take some new pictures these guys! As of right now I have 6 2005 Psycho’s in my collection but there’s a few more I’m after lol It’s never ending :laughing:

The only one not pictured in the group is my 05 Psycho 2 blood tears copy.

Wow dude :flushed: I am beyond excited I made this post. It is amazing that you knew to take the head on angles, followed by side view. The forehead detail is obviously a huge deal for us but I don’t believe people realize just how unique each copy is. It is absolutely incredible in 2024 to see these masks in such amazing shape.

For those who weren’t around back then, really zoom in. Some of the forehead detail is immense on certain copies, and then another copy has this insane cheek detail. On second glance you can see the corner line by the mouth and… just wow. Don’t forget this has true Kirk lineage and this is like Christmas for me haha. I will grab photos of my H2 but damn dude. I love that blood tears and you truly wear it perfectly.

I’ve owned those 2 H2 copies on the far end, and as much as I’d love them back, I’m happy to see they went to the best possible home. I haven’t seen them in years and they look as they did when they left my collection. I love the glue lines on those over the actual sideburns. You have that raw love of the Psycho I do for the Maniac and it’s truly beautiful to see. Thank you for caring and taking care of these beautiful copies of the sculpt that is basically why we’re all here!!

I still stand by this statement, the Psycho is the BEST CLOSET SCENE mask ever!

Pure gold! I’ve never regretted anything more than selling my 05 Psycho. :frowning:.

2005 Psycho blank.

No edits, just some fancy lighting.

Wow. This is beyond what I was expecting. This is such a gorgeous pull. Have you decided if you’re going to ever convert or leave as a blank? Some didn’t like it but I like the eye cuts as they were (2005 & 2006 specifically with thicker latex, they did seem a bit droopy on later copies) and this copy shows why. The look is ghostly. I’d be happy to keep this as a blank. That detail pops damn near like a 4-Stamp. By far the most iconic mask the hobby had that truly shot is to the sky in terms of future sculpts! Insane it still holds weight as one of the most accurate in 2024, 19 years later

I have an '05 and an SE, love both, the SE’s latex isn’t as sturdy though.
The '05 is probably in my top three H1’s ever along with the HMK and MMK small.
