Torro Studios Crafts Limited Edition Frazetta's Barbarian Mask
Came across this today and it seems like a great gift idea for Frank Frazetta fans (with some extra cash). Torro Studios have crafted a limited run of Frazetta's Barbarian Collectible Masks, based on one of the most iconic images in sci-fi / fantasy.
The masks are limited to a run of only 100, are all individually handcrafted, so each is an original piece of art. Every contour, wrinkle is matched line for line with the original painting. It's basically a wearable museum display bust.
Using a special formulation of skin-like and pre-colored natural latex, each thick but soft mask goes through an elaborate paint and hair process. No detail is spared even down to the hand laid eyebrows that help create the menacing scowl. It features a high quality, human/synthetic blend, lace front wig. When you part the hair it looks like a real scalp. The wig also makes up the back half of the mask, allowing for ventilation and stretches to comfortably fit over most head sizes. The polished, solid brass replica, double hoop earrings are almost identical in size to the original and add the finishing touch.
The mask is available for purchase here.
