Best h1 mask under $300

[nocode10]

Surprised there’s no mention of the Handiboy NHK. That runs to $285, and the Bad Boy version is $175, and I love the look of it. I like the Sinister Studios Obsession too (they’re selling an in-stock one on ebay right now for around $150).

I recently came across the Handiboy NHK and I love it. Anyone happen to know if his wait time is half a year, too? (6 months)

[JimJamUK]

It’s 8-9 months at the moment I’m afraid. I just ordered one

My new h2sm new mold (h1) is done. Doing the first pull tonight. It’s 230.00 plus shipping. I’ll be taking orders in Jan for it

What versions of the creep does he make?

Creep is a unique model, if you’re lucky enough to get a communication with Justin I suggest you order one with mohair, cause I’ve recently seen replicas with camel hair which kinda sucks.

I have tried messaging him twice within a stretched out time frame. Once on Instagram via direct message with no luck, then I realized the Nightowl email that says contact Justin would be best. Tried that and got nothing.

I mailed him way back and no answer, I texted him on FB and he answered a month later accepting my friendship but didn’t answer all my questions so I asked him again, 3 weeks have passed and still has to visualize, he’s a good guy but it’s impossible to do business with these people, I’m not gonna place an order of over 300 bucks without knowing what I’m gonna buy, how he’s gonna make it, information about the shipping, and the wait in general, these people really need a secretary if they’re so busy, many lower end studios have one so I really believe these people just don’t care about making more money…

I think, for like 200ish, you can get Nick Mulpaganos Dead Ringer as a Bad Boy (not as much weathering detail and the hair isn’t misted black)

I also think that Mulpagano makes the closest to the real thing under 300 euros, he also offers a decent communication too

[Kent_ronin]

Yep, always hear back from Nick within 24hrs

[JimJamUK]

Agreed - Nick is great on communication.

I would get a Captain Kirk Mask from TOTS and convert it, it turns into a pretty good H1 Mask and it costs maybe 80 to 90 dollars to get the mask and everything you need to convert it.

This is from Rowland Kelly and he’s fantastic to do business with. Send him a message and I’m sure he can get you a picture of the new H1SM mold. It’s really great and highly affordable.

Of course, as others have said, you can go with a TOTS conversion of an Elrod, Tramer or a Kirk. Here’s a Kirk conversion that is based upon the creep mold:

I would say the following are great options for under $300:

-Sinister Studios The Hiro
-Handiboy Studios NHK or HMan
-Handiboy Studios Dead Ringer Bad Boy

This looks good, how do you get in contact with him? Rowland Kelly on FB?

As for TOTS I know it can turn good, but my problem with TOTS is size, I need a 25" for my melon

[JimJamUK]

Kevin, Rowland is on this thread on Page 2 (TheShape1974)

If you can convert your own mask getting a TOTS Elrod or Kirk is a viable option but honestly I personally wouldn’t buy a $60 mask and pay $200 for a rehaul when you can just get a Nightowl Creep for a few more dollars. The latex is much higher quality

This! buying a TOTS + convertion you’re gonna spend almost as much as ordering an high end mask from an artist, at this point you better have an artist made one from scratch and costumized for you.

[JimJamUK]

I think I’d like to have a go at a TOTS Kirk myself at some point. Unless they’re the same size as the Elrod i.e., sized for a tiny person.

They are, except for the H2 deluxe the other TOTS are all kid sizes, another reason to stay away from TOTS for me.

Unfortunate truth! Still hoping they eventually release a 2018 in a large. 24.5’ is ideal but even 24’ is better than what seems to be closer to 22’. It’s crazy because I still haven’t figured out if most people just have smaller heads. I’ve seen a lot of complaints about TOTS masks being too small but almost an equal amount of people saying “their heads were swimming in the large H2”. That large H2 barely fits me I hope they release a “large” & “small” or regular version of every mask. We have a large enough community for them to definitely profit off the idea

All I can say is I have a small head, but I have room in the Kirk. It’s not huge on me like the original run of H2 masks, but it’s not tight either. Here you can see the fit of a custom made mask at 23" and the Kirk, which is larger.

I agree with everything you said. I am actually brand new to mask collecting. I was, and I still am very much excited about collecting some great Myers mask in the future. The only thing that has held me back recently is the lack of communication from some of these guys. Being new to all of this, I have had a hard time sending 300 plus bucks out to anyone who refuses to get back to me. I would be happy with any communication to be honest. Again, this is not the experience I have had with every artist… just a couple whom I really am interested in purchasing a mask from.
