Happy April 1st! (New Castle stretch sculpt)

He don’t owe me a damn thing.

I know but I thought since it is the 1 year anniversary that just maybe we might get some news/pics thats all!

I was thinking of this thread today at work lol was going to post something

If Trick or Treat Studios has half a brain they’ll buy the sculptor out or leverage a buy out and mass produce it

They already have a Castle stretch mask

Lol not even close

That looks amazing!

Then it will be another mass produced mask with crap paint and hair, come in a 25 inch OSFA. I purchased the ToTs Elrod after hearing it was a retool of Mabry’s Psycho, actually laughed when unboxing it…

I’m not holding my breath, but will definitely snag one when they’re in production. Stumbled across the Castle78 a few months back, also worth looking into for recent Castle masks.

Look closer and at peoples costume shots

If you are suggesting that Tots has a castle stretch mask that competes with this sculpt, that’s just not true.

No, I am saying TOTS already sells a mass produced Castle Stretch mask

Justin didn’t sculpted the chin or neck stretched, but the face is reminiscent of the stretched look.

That’s exactly what happens. It sucks, but it’s reality and for the price (200-400) most here want it for doesn’t cut it. Artists deserve return. Anything worth doing is worth doing for money.

Well…I’m simply a collector and 60 dollar masks that some people tear up or throw away after Halloween really arent for a serious collector. This piece is. I hope this guy squeezes every penny out of his creation. He deserves it with people drooling and picking at him like he owes them something. I have artists in my family and all anyone wants to do is shortchange them and act as if they’re buying a used car. Personally I’d want a limited run in the hands of people with more money as they may have better means of caring for coveted items. Sure one may argue that is exactly why they wouldn’t care for it because money may be no objecttonthe buyer but I would respectfully disagree.

Although limited runs are good, when hard times hit and someone has to sell their copy, someone who buys it could resell it instantly and overprice it, so yes, he should get all his moneys worth out of the sculpt, but there are still gonna be people that try to flip it for more than it’s worth

Objective value doesn’t exist. Existential value doesn’t translate to the economics of money

I almost forgot about this. Wish we would get a update :neutral_face::person_shrugging:

I will try to have an update ready sometime this week. Some necessary supplies have been unavailable due to the pandemic, which has prevented me from proceeding as planned.

Can’t wait. This mask is the best H1 so far, I am so hyped to see one finished. Hope everything works out for you man!
