It was a mask that was blowed up big and the king terry was doing it.Thats why people were willing to shell over 900.People thought he was a mask god.After they recieved them I seaw one on ebay sell for 200 and one on here for 200 or 250.I personally dont think the mask they recieved was worth any more than 150.The best copy Ive seen was the one warlock redone.
I wish you the best of luck man but you’re forgetting that Terry doesn’t care, he will never care, thats why he ripped everyone off in the first place. Honestly, I cant believe you guys got anything. I’m not saying you should be happy with it as it is definitely not worth that much loochie, but I seriously doubt hes going to go back and redo/remake everyones mask.
well the initial mask looked killer to me and If I had recieved a mask that looked like the proto pictures I would of been very happy…I just love the look of the original mask…I think its a killer look which is why I shelled out the dough for it…As far as limitations…I never bought anything in this hobby I couldnt manage…To me to put yourself in debt over it is a little crazy…Go broke for a week or 2 is one thing but in debt is another…I never did that…Prioritys always came first…Some people can manage higher price tags and when its something you absolutley love to to do it doesnt bother you to spend the big bucks on mask you want…What really got me is that Terry could do that to people who have stood by him for so many years…Thats what got me the most…Untill this I never had one bad thing to say about the man…Never had one bad transaction over the past several years ive bought from him…I have been buying from CGP since their begining almost…Once an artist acts like they are doing you a favor for making a mask that you pay for is when I say the hell with them…They arent doing you a favor when there are so many great artist out there…we are doing them a favor for choosing to buy from them instead of another…And over the past year or 2 ive experienced too much of it and now have certain artist I will only deal with…Terry screwed the 30th buyers big time with the garbage that he sent us and no I will never forget it…If by some means or some chance(1 in 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) he did send everyone a better mask then I would let it go, forgive and even buy from him again…But that will never happen so I just hope one day he has to pay in some way for what he has done to people…Later fella’s
I can honestly say,from owning a proto of the mask at one point,it was no better than a Don Post as far as quality.There was 0 detail…I mean 0.The mask was painted a flat white,the hair was atrocious and the mask in NO WAY resembled the mask that was originally posted.Now,I didn’t care for the original pics to begin with.I got the proto in a trade and was very,very regretful on that trade.I thought maybe having the mask in my possession would be kind of cool because of the sheer history of it.Kind f like the “Indie Myers Mask World’s Darkest Hour”.It had no such aura.It was just a plain mask with no weathering and nothing to be excited about.I traded a Psycho SE for it
Biggest trade regret to date.The 30th mask that guys received was an insult,especially after all that time,money and hassle.It was like Terry was saying "Here’s your friggin’ mask…don’t say I never got it to you!!"He could’ve cared less about the quality and what people thought of it.He ONLY cared that they got something and that something was single-handedly the worst indie mask I have ever laid eyes on and that is NOT an exaggeration.I was talking to Curtis at the time he was hung out to dry by Terry,along with many others and my heart went out to them.Crummy position they were put in…ripped off.The fact that Cemetery Gate Pro. is up and running again and he has not addressed this topic or this board in general shows that he knows that he has wronged many here.In his mind,everyone got their 30th mask.He doesn’t care whether they were happy or not.Good luck Blake,I hope this works out for you and maybe everyone else
Nevermind…
Guys please, while I appreciate the Passion, enough of the nasty comments (from some, not all). This thread needs to be kept on point if it is to stay open.
To the member who suggested that this thread was a bad idea, I respectfully disagree. Every one of the members feels slighted by the 30th mask. Derek said that to his knowledge, terry made everything right with his orders. This thread is to say that Terry still has some fixing to do.
I did email and PM T as well. I am using every possible avenue in an effort to get a response, and hopefully, resolution.
Good Luck Jeremy. I think we will all be following this very closely.
Thanks bobby, I’m really hoping for a positive outcome.
No offense to the people that bought these originally, but looking at those Photoshop black and white imagines, I wouldn’t have paid $900. Those pics don’t show you much. Again though, I thought what was sent to people was shameful.
Chris
You guys need to start whoopin some ass. I don’t mean little slaps on the wrist either. I’m talking about a Edwin(may he rest in peace) Valero beat down.
Here’s another pic, the picture of the sculpt. This is a bad-ass sculpt.
The last two pictures look like a DP06
The resemblance is uncanny
Best of luck to you.
I really hope this ugly situation gets resolved!
The only thing that matters here is the people who DID pay close to 900 bucks for this mask did so because THEY LIKED WHAT THEY SAW! That’s the issue. They DID NOT get what they paid for and I feel for each and every one of you guys and hope against hope you will be righted in the end. Best wishes.
Did anyone notice that CGP is no longer in the “links” section…this is a postive note!
Someone has a finshed pic of the real 30th mask and you can see how well the mask looks over the black and white…I no longer have it because it was a reminder of what I should have got and badly I was ripped…Even then I still thought it was a killer looking mask from the sculpt pics and black and whites…I just like the way the mask looked, still do and would love to own the real deal…Look at those DP pics…One could most certainly argue that the DP( A 25-30 dollar mask maybe 60) looks better than a mask that people paid nearly 1k for…The mask changed dramaticly from the proto look…Im sorry Blake if I came on here a bit strong bud…Last thing I want is to be a reason for the thread to be locked…But Honestly guys…Regardless if some of you think the mask was worth the price tag or not it is not the point…The people who did got taken for a ride…Long desperate wait, hassle of wondering if we were even getting one, no real help to turn to(not even here, people threw it in our faces all the time, sometimes still do) , 900 dollars spent to finally get sent something that was utterly garbage…Till this day and most likely forever this utterly just burns me up…Do I think Terry would ever make this right…I have to be honest and say not a chance…Maybe by the grace of god he will but I doubt it…I mean this year was rough for me…First I got the 30th anniversary mask of ugly…Then right after that I recieved a 500 dollar conversion that was done horrible after months and months of waiting…Only to return it then get it back with the hair not glued on the mask…This guy even said he would make things right…But guess what, I never heard from him again
…Jesus this hobby took me for a serious ride this year and it was all from supposed well trusted members and artist…The 30th deal really took a the strive out of me to find great mask…Then with leading events afterwards I just lost it…I sure hope somethings comes of it Blake…I really do bud…Maybe Terry will bud…Have a great night guys…Later fella’s
Michalantern my friend…I was typing while you were my friend…Well spoken and its my point as well…You have always been a great friend, member and just a good person brotha…I highly respect you my friend…I highly respect everyone who who understood and had kind things to say throughout and after the whol ordeal…Thanks again guys
Curtis - NOTHING you could say would be out of line. You went through it too brother. My comment was certainly not directed at you.
Curtis I know these conversions can look awesome but I just cant imagine payinging 200-300 for a mask then paying 500 for a redo or conversion.Who ever charges 500 for paint and hair should be charged for highway robbery…I feel bad for all of you that got took on the 30th mask too.That pic of the 30th does look like the dp mask…Thats just ashame.
