Hey everyone!
Many years and many Halloweens we had and many 78 masks were made, so my question is:
What’s the most Accurate and versatil 1978 mask ever? Or almost Accurate from all angles?
In my opinion, the NAG SC75. The sculpt comes from a 3D scan of Sean Clark’s original 75 Kirk. Can’t really get any closer than that.
NAG also offers other masks depending on what “flavor” you’re looking for.

My pick would have to he Spookhouse Props 3DK.

That one does look pretty damn good as well 
From what I’ve read from others on this topic (there is many) it always comes down to personal preference. My personal favourite is the 98 proto, mine pictured below. The YouTube video link gives a definitive history of the 98 proto if you’re interested. I particularly like the ‘freckle’ which I believe is unique to the Hero / NAG 98 proto. This mask always gives me that H1 vibe.

Really is no “ONE” perfect mask…
4 different people wore the mask in 78 with different shaped heads …

Brooh, i saw that mask. Omgsh I think is no cheap at all
That’s true, it’s all about heads size 
I would say that the h1sm is a very good 1978 mask and is also very versatile. If that isn’t your cup of tea then i would probably recommend The Spookhouse Props 3DK.
Video I just watched today on the topic. Could be helpful.

I saw this video too. Ty bro
Nightmare, 75k and 98 proto are pretty damn versatile. Dont think you can go wrong with either, but it does depend a lot on the particular artist you get to work on it or the partiular copy you land.

I think there is no perfect 78 mask, but every artist has his own view on it and quality.
I like almost every 78 masks, because they all have different looks.
This is mine from JP Studios, the '78 NEMEsis mask
I’d add 3DK from Jimmy Falco. I have a blank from him heading to Freddy Loper. As far as I know it’ll be Freddy’s first 3DK conversion.

That’s a difficult question as the resting shape should be accurate to the original mask’s and there’s always something off. It’s almost always the mouth area (which is very important to the look), and often the brow. There’s also always issues in re-sizing to make masks wearable, that always changes the face shape. There’s nothing perfect out there, if there was everyone would be clamoring to have that mask.
As far as details it has to be certain runs of the HMK (and one copy of the DCSM 2), all the textures on those are as sharp as can be. All runs of those have very sharp details, but certain runs are sharper than others. Too bad the latex used for most of the HMK’s wore down quick. There are a handful of them that had a pretty near to ideal face shape too, but the latex just didn’t hold up.
