There’s no « bad » angle.
It’s just sometimes it looks a bit over castled haha

Here’s my copy, finished by JC. IMO.its the definitive Castle stretch mask. Nothing else comes remotely close, in replicating this particular look.

Although, I love the Second Stab, as a secondary option.

Has to be close to 10 by now. Maybe more. I used to have a running total in my head, but I’ve since forgotten. And those were just the ones people shared… you know how some folks are super private about their collections.

I can think of 8? Maybe 9.

Wow thats really not a lot at all. Would love to see some of the other copies.
I know the ID turned out to be a very limited run but was it supposed to be a limited run of some sort from the beginning?

My understanding is Mangrum intended to make these at a manageable pace well into the future. I don’t think he ever mentioned a limit. He just stepped away from it all.

The demanding nature of the customers in this hobby, and the competition constantly applying pressure is a real turn off. It was for me.

I can dig around and find some photos of the other ones. They’ve already been passed around a fair amount.
