Most likely for the fact that it was originally meant to be the H1 back in 2014. They just moved it over to their H1 license.
Plus the Kirk would require the factory to cut out the eyes, and I personally would not have faith in a mass production factory to cut out those Kirk eyes properly.
I don’t know, I am just throwing theories out there.
Probably trying to avoid making another new mold to pull from, so just reusing stuff they already have that the factory is used to producing from.
No clue though. But I would say it’s most likely because they originally wanted it as their H1 a few years ago. Now they can use it as such.
You got the H1 closet mask
H1 school yard mask
H1 hallway mask
H1 stairway mask
H1 is he dead mask
H1 closeline wash mask
H1 stop choking me mask
H1 kitchen mask
H1 dead dog mask
H1 tommy lee Wallace mask
The Elrod was always an H1 mask marketed as an H2 because ToTs didn’t have the licensing rights to H78’s masks when they introduced them. Wouldn’t surprise me if this is just the Elrod marketed as an H1 now
I wouldn’t get excited just yet - the Elrod hair and paint also looked fine in the catalog photo, plus if it’s the same mold it will still be too small. Will wait til someone has one in hand.
