I’ll correct my Hardin mistake. It looked quite different from Michaelantern’s copy, so I just wrongly assumed, I guess it’s the flatter white finish that doesn’t bring out the detail as well in that light. The original three are supposed to be larger masks like the v.2 and the v.1’s smaller, but that’s difficult to tell from pics as well.
Thanks for the pics though. Are your two Curses actually far apart in terms of detail in the latex, or is it just the finish that makes it seem that way?
The original three BH’s were just as small as the SSN SIX and I assume the V1’S. When I was hunting down my copy a few years back I heard the same rumor, “the original three were larger.” They’re not, I think someone out there just has a small head. They’re all the same size as the SIX and later BH copies, tiny. Great mask though. I wish the later large ones looked as perfect.
Ha, glad you noticed that about the SSN Curses. One is incredibly smooth like the opening scene in H20 and the other has ton of detail in the sculpt like the NO 6. It’s not the paint job at all. If you look at the old copies in the gallery, you’ll see the same differences in other copies. That’s why I had to have one of each. Either totally smooth or tons of detail, I couldn’t tell you why. Maybe somebody who was around ten years ago with a good memory could chime in.
Thanks for the info, seems there was a lot of variation in pulls from certain mask maskers.
Bumping cause this thread is awesome
Those are not the same mask dude. 3rd, 6th and 8th pics are the same mask owned by Darren Hughes, 4th third mask from left, 5th and 7th not the same as Darrens.
Just thought id post this here since you don’t have a lot of pics of a Thorned V1. This is my copy which I may be biased in saying is the best copy that i’ve seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E69_afEqtEw
I’ve been searching forever for a LEGIT looking H6 mask, but I’ve never found one. I own an H30 Thorned mask, but I’m not really happy with it (in terms of it doesn’t really look that close to what’s seen in the movie). There’s just something about the Hero H6 masks that nobody has been able to recapture in its entirety. I will hold out hope that someday we’ll get one, though I won’t be surprised if we never do.
For example, you see the left eye of this screen used mask (the right eye if you’re look at the picture):
The eye isn’t an oval or a circle. It has it’s own unique shape. Well, NOBODY has ever been able to replicate this eye shape (that I’ve ever seen) and it always bothers me. The eyes are always too round. That’s just one example of how people never get it right. Another example would be the hair. The hair NEVER looks right on recreated masks. The hairline is never the same.
Personally, I want an exact replica of the T-Cut reshoots mask, in every detail, as seen in the pic above. That’s my ideal H6 mask.
Amen.
Its such a unique mask , still my fav. Just so much better than every film but the first. But thats why its so great because its so reminiscent of the style of the first . Two different looking sides of the face, eyebrows are only slightly shaded, (not brown!) And subtle tones of underlying detail…not to mention just plain spooky and eerie. Trying to rehaul myself , would be great if all the photos werent photo bucketed! Need all these photos in clear condition in my life immediately! Google just doesnt suffice. Any and all help welcome. Glad i found people who are as into this mask as i still am… Send me everything h6 hero related ! Please!!
Question … is the underlayer really that dark? Im sure it is on the george p wilbur version to get that blue colour but how about the reshoot mask ? Im sure because ive redone this mask like 7 times now . Maybe ill get it this time! Ive seen some photos look like its almost like the original 78 underlayer brown?Im defnitely going for the blue look , would like to do the reshoot version too tho; ive seen some photos where theres a purple colour…(both versions) Is that the lighter brown coming through? Just curious cuz if you look at tots photo it has a yellowy greeny tone and a purple tone… im sure the intention in the actual movie mask was blue as the poster version suggests (and my fav)… just need some clarity its a mystery in mask and paint form. Also , tots version is the left eye (your right) too small? Or is it both eyes ?And i know tots isnt that accurate lol just look at there ends product pic. Shame! To me that ends product photo looks like a decayed mummy or something like not even close . But i digress and dissect…
This is sick, does he have any more???
Unfortunately not, JD who owned HallowFX had some family issues back in 2020 and as far as I know I was first in line for this mask and received the only copy he dropped. This was a retool of his first ground up sculpt " KillForHim"…there is I think 2 copies of THAT original floating around somewhere.
Killer! Looks spot on to me. Thank you for this .
Thanks buddy, much appreciated. H1,H2 and H6 got to be my favs of the series.
Part 6 just looks so mean and gnarly.
Case in point, from my previous post, this is a perfect example of the eyes being all wrong.
(Not trying to be rude, just making a point based on my previous post)
Oooh how rude…no seriously I value your opinion.
They’re just pretty spot on from where I’m standing.
Please explain . Im currently trying to get this mask as close as i can. What is wrong with standard eyes on TOTS mask (what im working on) compared to either or both wilburs mask and reshoot mask? I need accuracy here so please please go into depth about any and all details.
