Filmed in 2014 I believe, and released today.
Guess we now finally know the spray paint he used back in the day too… not sure if it was ever confirmed correctly, but I know there’s tons of pages about it on these boards.
He didn’t even use dark paint to bring the cheeks and shadows out, weird.
I remember when Colby posted the thread about Tommy doing up the mask (I think Colby called it “Son of Hero” if I remember correctly), great stuff.
Well that’s about the coolest thing that’s been posted here in the last 10 years
So cool! Thank you for sharing this
Agreed!!! That’s AWESOME!!!
And to think, I was so stressed out and it took me a long time to (attempt to) convert a ToTs Kirk, and Tommy simply finishes up this blank in 45 minutes like it’s nothing! 
I’ve seen pics of this mask, I’d like to see more kirks done like this, and this confirms the paint from the hair completely dirtied the hero with how Castle, Warlock and the others would pull the mask off and on
So cool, thanks for posting!
It was nice to see him do this for us fans, so we can sort of see and relive the process.
And we take out small loans to have this done by “professionals”, when it could be done at home with a more authentic style and no wait times
My thoughts exactly. If all of us bought a Kirk every year and did this for Halloween it would be a more authentic process and WAY cheaper! Well, maybe we don’t buy a new one every year, but ya get the idea. No worry of rot, powdering, all that stuff Lol
True, if you want it truely authentic the way the actual real life mask was during filming.
However, as I’m sure you obviously know, the reason the indy masks are meticulously detailed is so that we have a mask that “looks” like what we see on screen without the need to use light and shadow. I still make full use of light and shadow in any of my costume shots, but the general idea with the indy masks is to achieve the look we see on screen in the various scenes.
Thats why there are so many different versions of the mask such as a Castle stretch, a phone scene, closet scene, masks that take on the different levels of dirt and wear, etc. That’s what we are paying for.
I can take a basic TOTS Boogeyman or 78, with the most plain Jane paint work, and make it look great just using light and shadow. However in natural full light, it’s rather unimpressive, just like the actual mask used in filming was. In broad daylight up close, it was not very impressive. Once that light and shadow hits it though, it just changes everything in a big way.
So at the end of the day, the indy masks are artistic feats of capturing those looks we all know and love throughout the film, not necessarily the actual look of the mask sitting on set in broad daylight.
Again, I’m sure you know this, but it has to be said for the newcomers who may read this.
Bro, your right it’s more authentic to the actual mask and how it was made, BUT your not going to walk down the street and look like the scenes in the movie doing that. Unless you have a light following you to cast the proper shadows and what not, or if you know where to stand in certain lighting situations.
Even then, once you move out of the light, it’s not going to look like the movie. That’s what the indy masks capture, the ability to walk anywhere and always maintain the looks from the scenes in the film no matter the light or angles, as you most certainly already know. Again, it just has to be said for those newcomers who are green to the situation.
You’re right except one thing… I do have my own lighting crew to follow and light me! Boss mode Lol
Nice 
Less is more, as the say. Pretty neat to see that.
This is what we all need! A conversion from the man himself
In complete awe of this! Was smiling the whole time watching it 
That’s beautiful! Time to order a TOTS kirk me thinks…
Prepsre for the flood of TLW style conversions lol
