Hello everyone!
I am new to this site and new to myers masks in general but I have learnt so much by reading threads on this site so first of all, thank you so much! I really want a high end Myer’s masks and have decide to go with a NAG mask. After looking through the variety of masks he makes I decided that the best two options were the “75K” and the “75k Castle Edition”
And I have to say, the 75k Castle Edition has to be my favourite Myers mask out there and the most accurate in my eyes and I’ve seen A LOT of Myers masks, I love the look so much!
So I wanted to ask for all of your opinions on the 75K Castle Edition and if it is worth sending off to be retooled by somebody and if so, who should I get in contact with and who is the best at re painting and styling Myers masks?
Thank you all! Here’s a photo of the 75K Castle Edition
There’s a Freddy Loper Castle mask for sale for $375 in classifieds…but yeah, generally speaking that’s a great mask, and well worth sending to someone to be fixed up…
Ive seen that post before when looking for masks but I honestly think this one Ive posted here looks way better, what do you think is the best mask available?
Lopers work is second to none. Anything he cranks out is amazing . The Castle mask is a sweet mask for sure. I have 1 copy myself. Mine is with AHG now being done H1 . Cant go wrong with that mask brother.
The one in the picture is a very nice copy, no doubt about it. For a nice H1 you have lots of different looks and styles available. Some of it comes down to personal preference.
He might not have had a chance to respond…wait and see I guess? I’ve had that happen to me too (with another guy) a while back. Then he ended up selling the mask to someone else. Who knows…
Yea well he read my message because it’s not in my outbox any longer. And he posted quite a few times today and yesterday. But it’s cool, no need for me to get upset over it ya know. It’s just a mask after all lol!
There’s a Castle 75k and a NAG castle 75k? That is pretty confusing. Is the photos I first posted on this thread the NAG castle 75k? thank you all for the info!
There’s the NAG Castle mask, and the NAG Castle 75K. So there are a few versions of the 75K: old/new mold, and castle mold. Then there’s the Castle mask. Castle mold has a subtle castle look compared to the Castle mask…
“Castle 75K” and “NAG Castle 75K” are referring to the same mask. NAG (Nikolas Art Gallery) is the maker. In addition to the Castle Mold 75K, Nik/NAG also offers a mask called the “Castle Mask”, which is a totally different sculpture/mold. The 75K variants (i.e., New Mold, Old Mold, Castle Mold) represent different molds taken of the Don Post Studios 1998 William Shatner mask, the Castle Mold 75K being slightly elongated, intended to replicate Castle’s effect on the mask when he wore it. This distortion is very subtle compared to the Castle Mask (orange background, pictured above), which I believe is an original sculpture, with a much more dramatic distortion sculpted in.
I was selling my Loper castle mask for $375 about a month ago. It has since sold and I received no message. Not sure if it was me you were referring to but just wanted to clear that up lol
Okay, so this clears up a variety of issues. TeamRocket’s mask has been sold (no more Loper Castle Mask for sale for $375, sorry). 75K is available in three molds…my understanding is that all three 75Ks were sculpted after the original Castle Mask. The 75Ks all look pretty much the same, with subtle variations among the three molds. The Castle Mask has the stretched out mouth whereas NAG Castle 75K has the smirking mouth.

In some ways I like the Castle mask better, because it has a unique look that you can spot a mile away…
. The Castle mask is a sweet mask for sure. I have 1 copy myself. Mine is with AHG now being done H1 . Cant go wrong with that mask brother.
