Thought Id ask a couple questions that I sometimes wonder about in regards to other collectors…how big is your collection of masks? and what is the break down (myers, jason, monsters etc)…How do you store it? how long have you been collecting? and do you ever sell or trade your masks, or do you like to hang on to every piece you come across…Ill start with mine-
I started collecting in 2007, but actually bought my first Cineam secrets mask in 05…Really got into it in 08 when I got a HSS Devious.
I have 17 myers(2 are kirks) here at home…4 more are out there (2 with JC and 2 waiting to be shipped from Sam)
Other than that, the only other piece i have is the new JGTH hood from HSS which Im waiting on…and an HSS Spock.
I sold 8 myers masks last summer when I was thinking about getting out of the hobby…then i came to my senses and now wish I had never sold them!!
Other masks I currently own would be.
Nightowl Lurker

the others are assorted monsters. evil dead, werewolves,terror train, zombies, slashers, killers and maniacs.
my collection is at an amazing, three masks, one Myers (a “31”), one Freddy (Lewis Fyre “Hybrid”), and a part four Jason that I painted up. masks are often too damn expensive so I take my sweet time before I buy, though i’ve had about 15 different Jason masks that i’ve painted and sold. and I had a Nemesis for awhile but I just didn’t really like it that much, it was a cool mask, but when sitting next to a “31” it just looked funny. planning on getting a Leatherface soon, but it’ll be awhile before I decide which Leatherface to get.
here’s my collection when I had the nemesis
I currently own 11 Myers masks. I have only a few more to go before I’m finished. The few on my list are; any Kirk, 63 Clown, H3 Trio, Don Shanks Brute, H8 Clown, RZ Clown, RZ Escape, Clean Buried, Buried Revolver. Okay, maybe more than just a few!
I am down to 4 as well…KH DW #21, KH SLE, Nightowl Creep, Nightowl 4 stamp 81 proto!!! I am done lol and need nothing else!!! I am for quality over quantity too!! Cheers!!!
