Leonardo Mask from Xtreme Design FX

[twopinacoladas]

Hi, I just got this in today I know a number of people have these as masks or in foam filled turtle head form. I am not sure I have seen a Leo on here but I love seeing pics of these and other busts and stuff. I have wanted to get one of these for a long time, it took a while to get but I think it was well worth the wait.

In person I think it looks even better than in the pics and I am more than happy with it. I had it sitting in the sunlight from the window for these pics so it looks a little lighter and I think there is a bit more detail that doesn't really come through in the pics. I uploaded a video on youtube as well. My apologies for the terrible tv show audio in the background ;)

I think there were a couple other people interested in getting one of these in another thread, Raph and Mike I believe (cant remember the users). If you guys are still interested, I can assure you the quality is great and you shouldn't be disappointed in anyway. Lance at Xtreme Design FX is great to deal with as well.

Nice Mask man, I got one of these coming my way as well and they are a very nice bang for buck :-)

Very cool, these are very nice for the price I don't think you can go wrong with them. The busts you have coming the Leo especially almost have me in awe. I am curious as to the price but I know its way more than I would be willing to shell out (no pun intended) ;)

I am just wondering is the artist that runs the prop shop site the one doing your busts? Some of the stuff in the shop looks familiar in some of the pics I was assuming it might be as he does the sick and movie accurate work also.

Wow that looks really amazing.:)

[deadpoolRKO]

That design is pretty awesome :)

Super sweet. I've loved those guys work from afar for a long time.

[discordiatookie]

That is awesome. How's your sight when you're wearing it? Love how its got smaller eyeholes than the third movie masks...

[twopinacoladas]

Thanks everyone for the comments, I really like the mask it looks really cool when you wear it and look in the mirror lol.

Bmaga123 I am just wondering did you order a Raph one? When you get it I'd love to see pics also. I was almost thinking of changing to Raph after I ordered it but I am happy with Leo he was my fav as a kid when I saw the first movie. Now I kind of like Leo Mike and Raph almost equally.

:o If I had the dough for that I'd get one. That's ridiculously awesome!

thats a nice mask. i keep forgetting to order mine. ive wanted one since their first original molds were made. im so glad they offer a new mask. im still debating on getting all four. i have too many turtle masks at home and its looking like a weird grave lol

I don't know about getting all four for myself I couldn't justify it one is good for me. It would be pretty expensive and its the same sculpt on them all just different paint and banadana. Although as soon as I saw it I was like I want Raph now tho lol. There are other alternatives I guess that would be more expensive. I guess then getting all four of these would probably be significantly cheaper which would be cool to display all four in glass or something.

BitchinPicturesChris I have seen some of your vids on youtube one of them was cracking me up a bit nice work ;)

You can see but it is somewhat challenging if you are going down stairs or have a puppy you don't want to step on in the house. Looking in the mirror is pretty cool with it on lol.

I would describe it as having somewhat of tunnel vision as you cant see your peripheral that well (if at all). I am thinking some foam would help to raise it up and I would be able to see a little better out of it. It is pretty cool because it is thick latex and holds its shape all the time.

Its a pretty hi quality piece much better than a custom Freddy Krueger mask I bought almost 2 years ago that has some small holes and imperfections. This turtle mask is a much better pull than my Freddy.

I have all four in my collection, and they look great together!! Only thing was that it took awhile to get the whole set down thou.

Maybe any pic/s of all of them!??? :D

[twopinacoladas]

I just saw a pic on Xtreme Design FX's facebook of Raph looks freakin awesome. I kind of wish I would have switched to Raph now as I was thinking about it.

Its pretty sick =)

Thanks =)

They are all the same masks just different bandanas. I couldn't believe I saw this when on ebay. Raph went for $1025 knowing these are only $250 shipped from Lance honestly to me is almost shameless to allow it to go so high for lack of a better word (tho without a buy it now option I guess a seller doesn't have control, still starting bid was $300). I cant help but feel for the guy who got it, great mask but seriously.

If for any reason I ever had to sell mine I couldn't fathom asking more than I paid for it ($300 would be a good deal as the wait time can be a while tho).

Hopefully whoever gets this one wont be shelling out as much dough makes me feel bad for the buyer...

wow man, those masks are stunning! the only possible improvement would be to offer 4 different facial expressions to better suit each characters personality, but that would obviously run the cost much higher.
