Thread: New Michael Myers Mask due in 2011

Tweet

For those who are hardcore fans, like I am, of the original Michael Myers/Halloween 1 and 2...This will be of intereset to you. Until this point we have had a ton of imitation Myers mask that only resemble myers. Some look nothing like him at all. The only way to get something close to the original mask was to buy from a skilled studio or independent artist. This, of course, commands some heavy prices...Say $300-$900. However, there is a new mask set for mass production, that seems to look probably the closest to the original. Here is the link with the prototype.

Looks real good so far. Hope it gets to the stores still looking that good. The independant guys have had it easy since everything liscensed look so bad. I never understood why thats the case always. If a dude in his garage can produce a nice Myers mask, why cant the liscenced companies get a good one on the mass market? Its just been fail after fail with those, lol..It does look promising though..Id buy one.

I don't know if it's public knowledge yet, so I don't want to say too much but a newer mask company will have the license for the Myers mask going into 2012. Their sculptor is one of those independent artists who produced one of, if not "the" best, Myers masks available. I am really excited to finally see that a quality Myers mask will be commercially available next year. Knowing who's behind the license, this will be an awesome mask!

It sounds like Don Post / PMG will release this newer more accurate version in the article that Undead october posted (thanks BTW!!!)

Back in 2004 I belive, Rubies Costume Co. made a line of Myers masks and Costumes, but failed to secure the proper licence. I have seen the Rubies Catalog with all the photos etc... I'm not sure what happend to all the product that was made and unable to sell, but I'm sure those are worth a lot. Ever since I can remeber, Don Post has the official license to sell all "Halloween" movie masks, costumes, and props.

So I guess we'll have to wait to see what happens with this new version. I love it and would love to own one!

Cinema Secrets actually held the license for a few years before Don Post had it (or got it back) a few years ago. For years Don Post sold a Michael Myers mask simply called "the Mask" because it was not licensed... they couldn't call it Michael Myers. That has since changed of course.

Honestly guys, I don't think you'll see anything different for 2011 on Myers. I could be wrong, but they did not show anything new at the tradeshow. The license expires this October and it's changing hands to a new company. Then we'll see a new version in 2012.

Right... Cinema Secrets version is also quite the collectible! I forgot about them...

Either way... I look forward to the new version!

Yea good ol mike is the king of Halloween scary.

I believe that all the independent Myers mask makers are not allowed to sell their renditions anymore... I think the only way to get an independent one now is from an individual who is willing to part with it.. As far as the license switching in October, that is a bit disappointing because now we will have to wait another year. That is unless this new mask turns out awesome. This new mask looks like it will be good...However, I am not sure it will be dead on like the independents.

Hello Halloweenasylum... I will ask the question, but you do not have to answer.... It wouldn't be NAG who is going to be the new sculptor for the alleged 2012 version is it?.. If it is and those get mass produced.. They will be the hottest masks ever.. In all my years, I think he created one of, if not the most dead on, look a like Myers mask ever .

Justin with Nightowl did a good one. I had a couple of the mass produced CS ones, they looked good but were a bit flimsy...sold 'em at a nice price though. Ive had some indy ones off and on and I prefer the thick castings..But they are always kinda small.

Thats also a huge heated debate as to what indy maker did the best MM mask..lol, it never ends!

Yes, Night owl did have an incredible one as well
