Any H40's going to be produced outside of Trick or Treat

Honestly, with a good overhaul, you can’t beat the TOTS IF it fits. Has anyone tried removing the hair and cutting the slit higher, then using cheesecloth and liquid latex to essentially broaden the mask under where the hair attaches? Just curious as the mask fits me fine. I’ve had 3 pass through my hands and they all fit a little different, some larger than others.

They might have said they have no plans to make a larger size but originally the had no plans to make a variety of sizes for their H2 mask and eventually they had no choice. I’m assuming with the popularity of this mask they will make a larger version sooner or later

But they went smaller with the H2 not bigger no? Ie. H2 Deluxe Small and childrens etc. For me, the ToTS 2018 was really tight and I felt small. The first day I had to drag it down my face from the eye holes. Now it fits like a glove and maintains shape and my Elrod and H2 Deluxe now feel a bit overly large.

I do think the market is bigger for the smaller size than the larger as is the savings for ToTS in terms of latex used. But here lies the rub, I can always pad and use paper and tape to fit a larger mask properly, but a smaller mask not fitting you are pretty much screwed. I do think eventually once they get more in restock they may add a H40 2018 in XL size or something but they are big on pushing the mold/sculpt of the screen used so who knows. Everyone should have the chance to buy a mask that fits especially as the only officially licensed game in town.

Exactly my issue man. A larger mask you have no issue padding or making adjustments to fit. If it’s too tight you are just out of luck and unfortunately that’s exactly the case with the H40. I’m hoping they make a larger sculpt and understand they own the licensing rights but if they don’t release a larger version soon I will turn the other cheek if an indy version becomes available in 25’

Movie mold or not, I am not buying ToTS’ mask. Chris can kiss my cheeks; I want a mask made of quality latex, fits my head, and is finished to my liking. And frankly, I’d rather pay $300 for something that is damn close to the movie (which we’ve seen and know is possible) and has the finishing I want right out of the gate. Sorry, not sorry.

If there’s any “blame” to go around for indie mask makers creating their own H40s, it’s all Chris Zephro’s. As has been pointed out in this thread and numerous others (and often by me), there was no excuse to not produce a larger mask that could easily be padded instead of a mask that’s probably the size of the average male head, which is 22.44 inches. For a comfortable mask, it should be bigger than the size of the wearer’s head. Despite the fact that I pre-ordered and got my mask late and the crappy customer service, I’d have bought two H40s from TOTS if the size was right. My feeling is that Zephro knew the mask was too small for most people but kept it that size (outside of the variations here and there) to get people to double-dip for a larger mask. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn this POS second version is bigger than the original.

I too will jump at the chance to get an accurate mask from an indie mask maker. I have no loyalty to TOTS after the way they’ve treated me as a customer. I’d rather spend more money on a quality product AND quality customer service experience than get a mass-produced version of both.

Not to hi-jack from the og thread topic, but how much did you have to wear that mask to get it to stretch better to your head?
