The bottom right photo of ‘The Mask’ is the earliest version of that mask; that was released for only 1 year. I have one and I know of 1 other collector with one. It’s a small ‘Kirk’ based sculpt that was done in 84 and released in 85 for 1 year and then that sculpt was changed in 85 and released in 86.
The catalog photos are taken from the HMA and EA used my catalogs for the archives. I don’t know why they all aren’t posted, he had them for almost a year to scan.
Yes and no. He does have a proto of some kind of an early version of ‘The Mask’ but not the proto of the exact version of ‘The Mask’ that was available in 1985. The ears on his are completely different than the mass produced one in 1985.
