The people at the Frightstuff forum were expressing their opinions and they can do that, just as you can. However, I do not think calling people hacks or washed up is really a constructive way to go. I know Mario and I am excited he doing this, hence the blog. I am sure he appreciates people like you sticking up for him, but I think that you should be happy for Mario and let everyone else speculate.

To the haters, especially the j%&*offs over at fright stuff who are bashing this mask because it’s a “recast” get over yourselves. Hack artists and wannabes bashing a fantastic piece like this, you guys should be ashamed, and you guys are a cancer in this hobby. No one respects hocks anymore because of how you guys act. If you think other masks look better that’s cool. Everyone has their own opinion. But to hate on this mask because some washed up hollywood hack never-was doesn’t like it, because it undermines his faux movie mold masks…well, you guys are not fans then, you’re just a bunch of insecure jealous jagoffs. Real fans can appreciate this piece. Even if they can’t afford it.

I`m glad you like the idea of doing this mask! The Black 7 sells for $300 plus shipping. As soon as the amount arrived via PayPal, I will add you to the list. The masks are ready to ship out end of March / early April as they are currently in the making. I will give you the price for shipping when everything is packed up. You can then send the amount for the shipping separately. So, if you are interested in buying one of the limited to 50 Black 7`s, email me at info@fridaythe13thprops.de

The Black 7 is made in an very complex way and from materials and paint used in the professional movie industry. This ensures that the paint is not getting bridle or even falls off the mask when bending.

Also notable is that the Black 7 is NOT vacuum formed from a cast but were casted directly from the mold. This ensures that all the details you see on the real deal are copied to your Black 7 and are not getting lost during the process.

I will drop Jasonsfury updates of the making in a regular basis, so if this is OK to him, he can post these updates here on the site for you. It is a lot of detail work on the masks, but I want them to look as close as possible to the mask you seen on screen. As mentioned in Jason`s article, the Black 7 is cast in red plastic to ensure they are not mistaken as the actual screen used hockey mask in the future. However they are completely painted to give them the closest look you can get.

I was also asked if the Black 7 comes with some kind of COA. Actually I think a COA would only make sense if I sell a screen used piece, to certify it is what it is supposed to be. As for the Black 7, I will include a quality print of the banner posted above that pretty much reads all the important details… and it looks cool if you ask me :)

Another thing I was contacted for are the straps. The mask comes without straps. Actually I think it looks cool without straps as you can see more mask details. However I planned to offer this feature but I think we have many talented guys in the community that offer much better work on straps than I could do. One place to go for example is http://fiberglassmasks.com/Leatherstraps.html

Please, if you have any further question, post here or contact me directly at info@fridaythe13thprops.de

All my best and hurry up… we are talking about a LIMITED EDITION collector item!
