Well here's mine.


Really nice Don Post masks Kidagain. I would love to own those as well. The Don Post Frankenstein masks are the highest priced of all the re-issues these days and are usually out of my range. I'd say average price asked for these is probably in the $300 to $500 range (Ouch!) where the rest of them with the exception of the Wolfman can be had for closer to their original price of $100 and some even less.

Thanks GG, I would love to have a Glenn Strange Frank reissue but the funds are not there. Plus my wife would kill me! Missed out on a few ebay auctions when the prices were still affordable in my case, now the sky seems to be the limit. Found a Pat Newman blank pull of the GS Frank and painted and haired myself which is what you see second from left in the photo.

Wow! Nice. I thought the Glenn Strange masks were Don Posts that had been repainted. So what is the GS Frank on the far left? Looks like a GS smooth. I could have had a Pat Newman GS Frank that was painted and haired by David and Laura Lady along with an extra blank for $225 for both. I hesitated and lost out. I'm really kicking myself for that now. You did a nice job painting that mask 2nd from left. Looks like it could use a little more shading in the facial crevices but that would require air brushing which is why I'm guessing you didn't do that. But really nice job overall.  :)

The GS mask on the left is a smooth GS Frank recast that I picked up on ebay from a member here a number of years ago. I know the shadeing on the Pat Newman was not done by airbrushing since it was my first time painting a mask. That blank technically is a Don Post Frank since Pat Newman worked there.Picked it up from Darren Perks who did the retooling on the calendar reissue masks.

Well they're very nice masks that I'd be proud to own. Congrats!

Was just going over old posts and isn't it sad how greedy Photobucket has ruined super threads like this.

I know this is an old thread but I want to add this guy to it.

I'll stick the Sam McCain wearable silicone Glenn Strange mask (with Lee Lambert modeling it) in here.  The jagged forehead scar suggests it's made after the Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein design.



I actually own this piece now. Got it from Lee. The hair was sub-par so I had Maskahuna re-hair it. He used the same hair fiber that was used for the Universal walk around Franks. He added the green slime streaks and sideburns. It looks 100% better than it did.

It's always worth bumping an old thread to get great new images like these. Thanks, fellows.
