Hi guys. I decided i would go ahead and by the klownzilla mask to compleat my killer klowns collection. I know that bump in the night productions sometimes has quality control issues but I decided to buy him anyway. I am really glad i did. He's huge and was looking good accept for some paint and a little bit of creasing. The creasing was pretty much fixed with the hairdryer and ice method.
As for the paint it was smeary here and there but almost decent overall. The thing that really bothered me is that his lips were dark red instead of purple like they were in the movie. So i went ahead and repainted the lips, eye liner, mouth and teeth as well as a few bad spots here and there.
I also added some 5 minute epoxy to the teeth tongue and eyes. Then I sat him on has stand to keep all of his blood thirsty brothers company. What do ya think ?

Ya chuck and his company are notorious for having bad communication skills. They never answer phones or e mails. I think since they got in bed with morris costumes/distributing there not worried about regular customers.
They seem to want to just keep those wholesale orders coming inn. They used to have better production quality until the moved there manufacturing to china. I heard he was telling people that the pieces he had on display at the last transworld were actual production line peices from chine. I wasn't there to hear his say that but if he did he had to be lying because there is no way production pieces are going to look as good as the ones he had there. None of mine did. Heres a pic

Don't get me wrong i love the stuff he putts out but theres no quality control. I had to do alot of paint and hair work on most of my klowns to get them to look as good as they do. Some of them had very sloppy and smeared paint and bad hair work. Slim required the most. I had to use small wooden dowels and glue to make his hair sprouts stand up like there supposed to.
If you want to get them cheaper go to halloweenexpress.com they prices are lower and they offer free shipping plus you can find cupon codes. Halloweenasylum usualy has a good sale after halloween too.

Damn dude those look badass ! I wish the ones they send out would look that good. The ones at transworld were defiantly not production copies from china. The paint was very meticulous and the hair was really shiny, it was not the useual kanekalon hair that they use. Another thing is you could tell they were thicker castings than normal because of they way they held there shape. The storefront klown looks to have a different overall shape.
I'm not sure whats happed with b.i.n.p. The quality of pieces they were putting out was much nicer up until a dew years ago. Then it went downhill when they switched there production to china. You would think that they would care more about the quality of there pieces but by the looks of things maybe not.
I would say it has alot to do with them getting picked up for distribution by morris costumes. They would have to be pushing out much bigger numbers now.
Maybe they got wrapped up keeping up with the numbers or there trying to lower there cost per piece wich could explain the quality loss.
it's a shame that there quality has slipped through the cracks, I hope they get there stuff togather and start putting out the same caliber of mask and props that they used to.
I was thinking about making a full size slim klown but then I ran the numbers and said the hell with it. Have you ever seen any of those supposed original mold klowns that used to pop up on ebay ? They were sort of cool but way to pricey for me. Again nice job on your klowns !
