Okay, this Tarman mask and t-shirt set (art by Wm. Stout!) is rather fucking awesome: http://www.fright-rags.com/teaser/tarman.html The paint design on the mask is just impeccable! |

Tarman has always been one of my favorites, this rules. Awesome packaging too. |

That is a fantastic mask. I wish all the old Ben Cooper masks had been made out of higher quality materials - if they lasted the costumes would still be great. I quite like the graphic on the baseball tee too. |

When I got the email about this I instantly wanted this. So hard to resist but have to. |

Here's a video you can see more detail of the mask on. It is still thin and fairly rigid plastic, like the originals, just improved a bit on the overall quality. While I think this is better for portability, I have to admit it makes it seem less worth the extreme 'collectable' price for it, compared to a study vinyl mask. Still mighty cool. |

I've been wanting to make vacu-formed masks like that, pre printed/painted before being shaped. I wonder how they did that? |

Judging by the detail on them and that there are only 50, I imagine that these were painted after forming. Total guess though. If someone were to start a poject to re-make some of the traditional heroes in higher-quality vacuformed plastic, I would totally back that project. Astro, Ultra, Kikaider, Mazinger, Barom-1 - I need 'em all. |

It says each mask is handmade then individually painted by the sculptor. I would love to see how they are making the masks themselves. |

I wish I could get the baseball T with the mask set instead of the one offered. Pretty cool. Thanks for the heads up. |

I used to have so many Fright Rag tees. Great stuff. Tar Man is the most unique and unsettling zombie design ever. Post up some pics if anyone picks this up. |

I'm stoked and bummed to see this! I've made these kinds of masks over the past few years and have wanted to expand, but have not had time to do so. I knew someone else would do it, but so what. A full time job and an occasional hobby that turned into a part-time job have kept me from pursuing this. That *should* be changing in a few weeks and you will absolutely see lots of good stuff! Fully painted masks, t-shirts, hand screened boxes with windows! I'll probably miss this Halloween, but I think the people who like these will like them all year long. Tarman was at the top of my list of masks to make - I still will, but maybe not right away. It won't cost $80+ dollars either... Greasebat: I remember your Greasebat masks from a few years ago. Those were great! ultrakaiju: A lot of Ultra and Kamen masks are being made still. Maybe I can fill in some of the gaps thopugh! |
