I dont want to bother Nik on vacation, and I cant find any information on what he currently is making. Does anyone else know whats available other than the 75K and H4?
He makes a 98 proto, a mask called the cover, he makes a rz mask called the scarred, he makes a h4 mask called the h88, he makes a bunch of 75k variants, and I’m sure he makes more but off the top of my head these are the ones he makes.

Cause there isn’t, his site is all coming soon and he’s been on vacation since September…
I speak to him regularly and he will he taking orders again the first week of December. He hasn’t retired a mask besides the 2K so you can order any mask he has previously created. These include :
H78
H78 Retool
Cover Mask
75k old mold
75k new mold
75k Castle
98 proto
H88
H4 Hero
RZ Scarred
There are a few more masks as well as his new sculpt the “3H”
I just sold my Castle 75K SE because I actually prefer the look and finish of the Nightmare better. I wonder if that one is still available
Oh snap! Gotta’ get me an H88 for sure from Nik!
Appreciate the list. If it’s not too much trouble, can you give a brief description of the differences of each mask?
The Nightmare UL is also still available. Not sure why I left that off the list lol that is actually one of his more popular sculpts.

His H88 is badass I’m also a big fan of the Hero mask. I’ve been holding off as I’m looking forward to see what TheGhostlyShape’s finished H4 looks like. It looks extremely promising
Ah yes, I’ve been following that one as well! Can’t wait to see the finish on the pull he posted recently.

No problem. You can find photos of each in the gallery but:
H78 - Nik’s first real claim to fame. Still holds its weight as an amazing H1 sculpt as well as the retool. It is a larger mask and has a built-in Castle stretch
Cover - One of my favorite sculpts he offers. Based on the H4 Poster mask and can really pull off some badass looks.
75k old / new molds - Both are beautiful masks with subtle differences. It is my personal belief the old mold makes a better H1 while the new mold can make an amazing H2.
75k Castle - Probably his most popular mask. It has a built in Castle stretch and when finished properly it is debatably the nicest H1 mask available. Due to the stretch, if you’re going for an H2 look I’d stay away from this one.
98 proto - This is on par with the Castle popularity-wise. It is a smaller sculpt and in my opinion the details are a bit rougher than the 75k but this sculpt is gorgeous. A JC converted copy just sold on eBay for over $2k.
H88 - Nik’s original take on the H4 mask. Very simple sculpt but it does look pretty good.
H4 Hero - His second take on the H4 and in my opinion a much better sculpt. Both are really nice though.
Scarred - His attempt at the Rob Zombie mask. Actually looks pretty damn good although I’m not a big fan of the movies.
3H - Named after how long it took him to sculpt this; 3 hours! His newest sculpt and while only a few have surfaced so far this mask looks extremely promising as either a Kirk or H1.
Hope this helps man.

One final question, where does the 75k Castle Special Edition fit in?
He offers the Special Edition and Deluxe Edition which cost a bit more but he uses a different type of hair and takes more time on the weathering on these copies. If you plan on having the mask finished by Nikos and not just getting a blank I definitely suggest getting a Special Edition as the finish looks much better than the standard edition he offers.

Fantastic information. Thanks again!
Thank you FutureReference for your informative post, something I never could get from Niko himself.
@ImNightmare so you finally decided to part from your Castle 75k
Honestly the more I learn from watching these masks the more I realize that even a Castle 75K requires a finishing from another artist to get the right 78 look, despite its alrady high price, don’t get me wrong, I still like Niko’s stock finishing, just not 100% screen accurate, besides even from Nag you get better and worse looking replicas I noticed, what do you guys think?

Awesome read. Thanks so much for this information. Being new I see all the pictures of this different ones and think I can see the difference between them but it’s nice to know what the artist was really going for

Agree with everyhing except 75 Castle. Castle stretch is so subtle that mask can make even better H2. There have been few copies which prove it and IMO it’s actually one of the best H2s I’ve seen.

You say the ‘98 Proto is a “smaller sculpt” would I assume by that a smaller head and face would wear that mask better?

Hi guys- I know that this is an old thread, but I’ve seen in the gallery a NAG mask simply called the “Castle Mask.” Does anybody have information on it- and if it’s even still in production?
I apologize for the question, I just have never ordered from him before…so this is still a somewhat new experience for me. How does one go about purchasing from Nik? Facebook?
