When it comes to masks what do you prefer when it comes to the forehead? The flat version or the wishbone brow type? Just got my Elrod and comparing it to my Hospital and realized Hospital has the wishbone brow and Elrod does not. And also what is the accurate one to the original HERO mask with or without it?
I prefer with, gives it more detail and depth and makes it look a bit angrier.
The hero does seem to have the pronounced forehead brow, but it’s not nearly as intense as the Hospital mask portrays it. Part of the reason for this is the Hospital mask comes from the Maniac sculpt, which is based on the H4 cover mask, which itself is the H1-H2 hero, of Dick Warlock wearing it in H2 under some VERY good lighting that falls onto the mask, revealing all it’s details in a very exaggerated manner. Otherwise, the brow is not nearly as noticeable on film. So, with all that said, the more accurate brow would not be as noticeable, but if you want the H4 poster mask look, then you do want the more noticeable brow.
Thanks for the clarification, I do remeber seeing a bit the brow in H1 during the telephone scene but that’s really the only place, I was actually just looking at my Hospital and thinking about the h4 box cover. After cutting away some the hair on the back of the Elrod and styling it a bit damn both look good to me in thier own unique way. Definitely going to grab one more of each and do total rehauls of these. I like the h40 the best how the brow fades to basically nothing but is very pronounced lower down, in guessing that’s more like how it was meant to be.
Does the TOTS Kirk have it on it as Well? I know lot fans collect a Kirk mask , I however probably won’t ever get one unless I’m redoing as a Myers but curious
I like the sculpts without it better. Gives it more of a ghostly blank look Imo. If a mask has it sculpted in, I just prefer to not have it exaggerated by paint.
