Yeah a lot of indie mask makers have similar wait times like that, your best bet is to look on eBay or Facebook groups. Or you could always send a ToTs to some one like Jimmy Falco or other artists to convert them into great masks. The wait times are less and it’s a little more affordable
Terry should have a bunch of blanks just laying around. Your wait time should be as long as it takes him or his “assistant” to finish it. Which in my opinion should be a few days. I remember when I ordered my Warlock SE, he shipped it out like 3 days later and I got it the next week.
I agree. Terry definitely has mixed reviews as a businessman but the masks I’ve got from him back in the day were top notch quality. I don’t know if that’s changed, but in my opinion the wait would still be worth it rather than a rehaul of a tots mask. Nothing against tots, but they are still an economy level product no matter how much lipstick you put on the pig. Indy makers just typically offer a nice fleshy latex and better finish work, hair etc.
I absolutely agree with that. I don’t believe you can compare a ToTs mask to any independent mask. I’ve seen two that I think actually look pretty good which is the H6 mask and the H4 . To me the other ones (H2s and H1s) only look decent in the prototype pix . The first ToTs shape mask that was coming out I was like wow this looks pretty damn good for $60 when I saw the prototype pics, I pre ordered the mask got it several months later and when I opened the box I just stared at it for like 2 min, put it on really quick and was swimming in it because it was so big, took it off put it back in the box and gave it away the 1st chance I got. If they are rehauled they can absolutely look good but why would you have to rehaul every single ToTs mask to make it look good ? A mask should look good when you buy it outright and thr b.s. about it being only $60 what do u expect for a $60 mask ? ALOT actually because I seen plenty old school don post horror masks that look incredible for even less than $60. If it’s a choice between the two I would think the Warlock would definitely be the way to go even if the wait is a little longer .
I really dig TOTS masks for what they are and you sure can’t go wrong with only 60 bucks. I can only imagine how awesome it will feel to own my first Indy mask and in this case a Warlock. Speechless!! Just wish Terry would get back to me. Seems like someone said a couple months back he was so swamped with Warlock orders he had to stop taking orders for 6 months or so…?! Idk!
You know what’s ironic, is that most all other TOTS masks that AREN’T Michael Myers, are actually really well painted for the $60 dollar price tag. I own other masks from them, and it’s baffling how much more detailed their other masks are. If that much effort went into the Myers masks, they would be unbeatable at that $60 dollar price point.
% From everything I’ve heard and seen on YouTube Terry’s work is really phenomenal.
