Rebuilding my Mask Collection

[Creepy]

From its rooted hair to its marshmallow teeth, that character has really undergone
some transformations since its debut in the late '50s. Congrats on a classic score.

Definitely not the best looking my mask, but it is a jewel in my collection. Truly a face that only a Mask Collector could love  .

Here's a "Holy Grail" piece that I managed to track down. This is an original Topstone Shock Monster, as seen in the pages of Famous Monsters. There are only a few left in this condition. This is an ultra-rare piece.

Wow! This is a big score, congratulations.

Here's another recent, vintage addition to my Crypt. The Topstone Mummy. This is one of my favorite Topstone masks. This one is in amazing condition, still soft and it looks great.

The mail man had another suprise for me today. My Campus Monster (from The Monster on Campus) arrived on my doorstep from the great Dr. Lady. This is another fantastic Carol Hicks sculpt and now one of my new favorites.

It's been a bit since I have added anything to my mask collection. I have been more active adding posters, vinyl LPs, and books lately. However, I did recently grab this Laura, The Vampire Witch by Distortions Unlimited. It was a Monster of the Month selection back when that was still going on. The sculpt was done by the late, great Henry Alvarez. He based it on a Laura Lady life cast that was done in the early 90's.

The story on the mask goes that in 1859, a group of witches found an old, abandoned cabin that they wanted to use for dark sacrifices. Unknown to them, a group of vampires were sleeping in the basement. When the sun went down the vampires awoke. The rest, as they say, is horror history.






I grabbed this guy from Trick or Treat Studios. They had the license for the 1933 King Kong, but it appears they no longer have it.

I needed to add this guy to the collection while I could still get him.

This is a big mask and very, very cool!!! Long live The King!!!

Wait just a gosh darn minute these masks aren't up on eBay are they?

These are some great additions Creepy! I especially like the Topstone Mummy. I had one as a kid and the one you have is in beautiful condition. Hard to believe it survived all these years in that kind of shape. I've had the ToTS Kong mask on my radar for a while now as I don't have any gorillas in my collection and that would make a nice one. I've heard they don't have the license any more as well.

Yeah, looks like just about everything in this thread went up on ebay yesterday

[Kidagain]

Maybe his wife found out about them and was not happy!

Wow, I saw that and didn't put 2 and 2 together. I feel sorry for him. He was so excited to be collecting again.

That's the saddest thing I've read all day.
