Forrest Ackermans Kirk is owned by a George L. It’s public knowledge. The late Sam McCain ( RIP) used it for reference in person for his Shape 08 sculpt along with the HSS 75 Shatner Mask.
I knew they were rare, but seeing them all in one thread… I’m actually shocked how few are around today!
That’s what the seller’s ebay buy it now price was listed as for awhile.
Wow, cool thread. It is crazy how they all look so different converted.
I also, owned #14.
I think those are my old pics you’re using.
Nice to see them again.
Forgive me of my ignorance but did this guy billy know the film crew for Halloween?? Or know original makers of the mask
Wow. So did he get the amount for it?
Jay Allan’s new Kirk.
Pete Robert’s Kirk after it has been foam filled.
Is there anyone old enough here that remembers seeing them on store shelves back in '75? I mean, how hard would’ve it been to track one down? Were they selling them at Woolworths back then? Lol Im sure people weren’t thinking, “damn this is gonna be worth crazy money in like 42 years” And “they’re gonna make a cool ass movie in 3” I mean to have one since new and keeping it in perfect condition is quite an accomplishment.
How accessible would’ve these been back then? Was mask collecting as big back then as it is today? Any “oh shit” moments where you saw them in a store and could’ve got like 5 of them? Or am I way off wrong on my thinking that there were many of them made? Sorry for all my noob questions lol Its just this thread got me interested in the history of the Kirk mask for the first time ever really lol Good thread, good discussion. 
If I remember correctly, Jay Allan’s new Kirk was one of the ones made in 1981.
That #11 has a psycho look to it in my eyes. Very cool
I thought the Kirk was made in 75. Not 81
Thanks! I agree completely with the converted ones. However, do keep in mind that most of the converted ones had already been in the rotting stages for years. When Josh partially converted his old Kirk it was stunning. If it had the right paint and hair it would’ve been hero all the way.
It used to be referred to as “Josh’s Old
Kirk” but the new owner previously put it up for sale with the price tag of $1,000,000 because it was from the “screen used hero mold” (doesn’t exist :eyerolls:). After that I only saw it referred to as the “Million Dollar Kirk” in articles and interviews and such.

Thanks! I know! Really excited to see it as well! I saw a post today while doing research from Terry (I think?) talking about how he painted it with acrylic after stealing it and it fell apart.

Okay, wasn’t sure if that was public knowledge or not.

I know! I thought it was way more! And this list is getting short and shorter, too.
Thanks! And I know, I found that to be very interesting!
So cool! Glad you got to see them .
I actually do not know. Maybe from a crew member?
Never sold it (not a big shock). He refused to budge.
Thanks for those! Will update accordingly.
It certainly looks like it.

I definitely see it. But the psycho is also derived from #7.
I believe it was made from 75-78/79. The ones made in ‘81 were done by DPS directly for production of H2.

I thought, 1 was bought from a store and the others were made for H1 by dp’s. And in h2 they used all those same masks
Also, if in 81 they made some for the movie you would think later in the eighties they could have made Myers mask that looked like the 78
They used the same masks in H1 and the ones made in 81 ended up being sold to collectors.
