Thread: Do you need a Gas Mask?

Tweet

So I was surfing the web, hitting a few bookmarked pages I have and came across this:
http://www.sciplus.com/category.cfm/...9/category/196

On sale right now for $13, regularly $15, and downright cool.

I figured members here would want to check this out, and lurkers might enjoy finding a great deal on a real gas mask for Halloween or to have just for fun!

The site has a lot more cool stuff too, and most of it is really cheap to buy.

Thanks for the link!
Just bought two!

That is way too cool, thanks for the link!

I'm pretty sure I was on their site a while ago and never bookmarked it and subsequently forgot all about them. Thanks for the link.

Great steam punk possibilities.

I bought one of those same ones about 5 months ago.
Don't know what I'll do with it, but couldn't pass it up for the price.

I've been thinking about picking up both the adult size for costume/prop purposes (since gas masks are creepy all on their own) and the child size to put on a creepy large doll prop. It seems like the perfect thing to put on the doll of some evil little tot, or a doll left over from some horrible fallout event (after all, wouldn't a child want to protect their best friend too, even if that friend is in fact plastic?).

Lower down on the page they do have a different gas mask that is only in child sizes.
Still pretty neat, even if it won't fit on an adult.

Yep, that 'Russian parts' mask was the one I was looking into for the doll; I think it would approximately fit a large toddler-style doll since the writeup states it fits faces up to 4.25" across for the smaller mask. Unfortunately I can't snag any of those masks until I have cash again, and I'll have to look around for a large cheap/thrift-shop doll, but I think I need to try the idea I have floating around in my head. I'm thinking a heavily melted/burnt doll wearing the mask might be a nice post-apocalyptic prop or maybe just something creepy to have lurking in a dark corner .

Picked up one last week off ebay for $9.00. I have a picture posted in my album of this years costume for our tunnels.
It worked out great!
