I ask for advice for new mask. Hi everyone, I apologize in advance for my bad English.
I have the TOTS Halloween 2 Deluxe Mask but I am not entirely satisfied (e.g. for the neck that is not white and remains too wide) and I would like to take one from 1978 movie.
I’m undecided between the twoavailable TOTS, the Boogeyman and the other, I think it’s called Shape.
Which one is better? Which one do you recommend?
Thanks a lot!
In my opinion the best mold for an H1 is the kirk but it would have to be converted for an H1 look. When you say shape mask I believe your referring to the TOTS 78. That mask is about the same size as the H2 maybe a bit bigger. When you get it, it doesn’t have much detail and the hair is weirdly colored. There’s also blue highlights on it for some reason. Also doesn’t have any flesh tone like the picture. The boogeyman can looking decent with a rehaul and is a bit smaller. If you had the time or money to convert a kirk I would do that, but if not I’d look at some stock pictures of the 78 and boogeyman to see which one you prefer.
It entirely depends on what you intend to do with them. Stock, out of the box (or bag) the Boogeyman has better finishing, the hair is better and easier to work with, and it’s smaller as well. It’s not perfect by any means: the glue lines from the side burns aren’t there and the needle hole is painted on, and like any TOTS the quality of individual masks vary. The 78 is definitely a bit goofier looking stock, and it’s closer in size to the H2, but after a rehaul they can turn out great.
I would say go with the boogeyman, it’s the Nightowl Psycho sculpt from Justin Mabry and is a staple in the Myers community. However, size is an issue as well so you’d need to measure your head and see if it’s the right fit for you.
Go for a Sinister Studios Hiro, a little bit more pricey but a much more detailed sculpt, especially when finished right
