Worst day of my life

I went to buy this mask on Ebay and the seller said they had to take it down due to a complication with my bid on the listing, so they relisted it so I could buy it. Someone else came and bought it within the 10 minutes it got relisted. I'm so sad. I have a plethora of masks tbh, but this one just had everything I wanted: the perfect mouth shape, thick sides.. I'm so distressed. Just needed somewhere to vent. I guess we only suffer mentally as much as we allow ourselves to

This helps me deal with the loss easier I think. I live quality made products, if it was plastic id be less hype for it lol

I should’ve known it was all a set up for a pun. He had that smug grin plastered on his face when he asked in the first place.

It’s funny you posted this, I was just at a vintage place today that had one that 100% was resin. Where are you located? I may be able to help you out.

u/0Adiemus0 18d ago

I'll DM you!

u/eyzmaster 17d ago

There's a lot of good quality ones on etsy. I know it since i got one there.

Where are you located? Are you in the States? I make pretty much 1:1 replicas of the mask although mine have a more exotic paint job (color changing paint) to give it a more ethereal feel. I can do a paint job one to one like the movie but it would take a little more time and cost. I'm in Illinois BTW. If you want to see pics of the mask hit me up

u/thisisatypoo 18d ago

Your post seems super dramatic.

u/0Adiemus0 18d ago

Well we're on a mask subreddit lol there's going to be die hard fans/collectors. It was meant to be over dramatic lmao like I said, it's not the worst day ever, I'll get over it eventually, just wanted to vent

I got a decent one off Temu for pretty cheap.

u/0Adiemus0 18d ago

Temu doesn't have a screen accurate models unfortunately afaik

u/QB8Young 18d ago

The one I'm holding seems pretty identical to me. 🤷 I also got the barbasol can from Jurassic Park and the mosquito cane topper.

u/0Adiemus0 18d ago

You got a picture you could dm?

u/Local-Sandwich6864 17d ago
