Rebuilding my Mask Collection

[Creepy]

Long story short, I am rebuilding my mask collection after foolishly selling off many wonderful pieces years ago. I contacted Dr. Lady about locating one of my favorites It! The Terror from Beyond Space and he graciously found a copy hiding out in the attic of the Horror Hotel. I quickly snatched him up as well as the monster from I Married a Monster from Outer Space as well as a couple more.  Both masks arrived and are safely in my collection.





As I continue my hunt to restore and rebuild my collection, I'll add more pics. I have figured out that the hunt is kinda the best part!!!

Two great masks from the talented David and Laura!  A perfect start to rebuilding your collection.  I've always had a soft spot in my heart and head for those characters.  Can't wait to see what your next addition will be.  Be sure to post pictures for us!

I definitely will keep adding pics. Part of my previous collection was all of the calendar re-issues, so I'm always on the hunt for them (just managed to find the first 2 recently), plus others.

I prefer masks of creatures that were in films, so that is mainly where I focus.

I just made a deal for 2 special pieces that should arrive sometime next week!!

Those masks are outstanding. Looks like you have them in detolf, which is always good. The thing with any kind of cases is, as the collections grow, it makes it almost impossible to keep all of one's collectibles in cases. Unless you have a gigantic room and can afford to case hundreds of masks and figures. About 90% of my items are on shelves. A small portion of my collection are in cases.

I am almost as crazy about displaying my collection as I am in acquiring it. I love looking at pics of peoples collections and am constantly thinking of ways to enhance my displays.

Space is always a concern, especially with large pieces like masks, but when done right they can be very cool.

Thanks to StyreneDude I was able to add 2 dream pieces to my growing collection. I consider Carol Hicks to be one of the masters and being able to have these pieces is truly amazing.







The truly best part of this transaction was getting to meet StyreneDude in person and making a friend. He works about an hour from my house so I drove to pick the pieces up. We spent a long time talking monsters, posters, masks, and all things geek.

He is an amazing artist, and if you are thinking of commissioning a painting, I encourage that you give him a shout. I am already considering having him do some work for me.

That's the best of this part of this hobby, building community.

Congrat's on your great new additions.

Thank you so much Creepy!
I'm very happy those masks found a loving home.

It was a blast meeting you and getting to chat about all things monster!
It's always a pleasure to make new friends...I'm really looking forward to that lunch!

My treat!

Two more great looking pieces!  Chris Lee was such an awesome monster, and these represent really well.  Super finishing work on both heads, StyreneDude!  Kudos all around!

I consider The Hideous Sun Demon to be the 2nd best looking monster of the 50's Golden Age of Horror, right behind The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Dr. Lady was able to do his dark magic and I just received him today! I am soooo glad to have this guy back into my collection.

Dr. Lady's paint work is simply amazing! True art!!

All great pieces Creepy! Congrats!
