Reddit mentions: The best men costume masks

Does he have a beard? Beard oil is always cool. I'm getting some for my bro from here. I looked around on etsy and that seemed to be one of the more reasonably priced, but there was one featured on sharktank recently too that may have more brand recognition?

I got my bro this a few years ago, he loved it!

Got one of these for each of my brothers this year.

You'd have to get it filled with helium at like a party city or something, but this seems so awesome.

This shop has amaaaaazing prints of old presidents doing crazy shit. Got this Teddy one for my dad for xmas this year & got another for a random office gift exchange. Can't wait to see them fight over it haha.

Is your brother into the whole zombie thing? I got this for my bro's bday. Put it in a cool frame and shiz, it looks awesome.

Does he like grilling? I think these cedar plank things look awesome and would be well-received by most guys who like to grill. They have some other gift pack things too.

I got my bro Sriracha salt last year and he really liked it. There are tons of places on etsy that sell it. In fact, if he's really into sriracha (I have a friend who steals a bottle from every restaurant that has it) you could do a sriracha gift basket. Sriracha salt, sriracha peas, sriracha beef jerky, sriracha chocolate, sriracha chips, sriracha socks. All of those can be found on amazon or just a normal grocery store.

I love that you already listed the berries that change your tastebud thing, I'm planning on bringing a gift basket to an exchange with those and some lemons/limes/grapefruit. I've been suggesting that to a bunch of people on here too haha, it's pretty universal.

This looks so amazing.

Is he into camping or the outdoors? This would be cool. Supposedly you can drink straight from a river and not die.

I just think this is awesome.

Oh! Marc Johns books are amazing. This one always works as a great gift. Idk if you can preview any of the pages but it basically has weird/random pictures and weird/random/sometimes uplifting messages.

Welllp, that's all I can think of right now, hopefully something helped or gave you some ideas! :)

There's a few ways you can go about making a mask. As far as the helmet goes, the best method I know is papercraft and resin. More on that later.
You can always take a thick plastic hockey mask and carve out the basic shape. Personally I use this particular mask. It's super cheap, but very rigid for such a cheap mask. I've made a similar, albeit sloppy, skull mask in my earlier days of prop and costume making. I would upload pictures right now, but can't seem to find any at the moment. (another result of amateur work before I realized I should document and properly file EVERYTHING I do.) That's a pro tip in itself. The only reason my piece turned out so sloppy is because I neglected to plan anything. I just went "Fuck it!" and zoomed my way through the process. ANYWAYS... take the hockey mask and hack off large pieces to get a basic shape. Also hack off that nose. Then sand everything to the shape that you want. No sugarcoating, this is a bitch to do by hand; it's infinitely easier with a sander or a rotary tool. Remember to wear a respirator when you do this so you don't breath in any plastic dust. I used a layer of paper mache to cover up all the holes, including the one left by cutting off the nose, let dry, primed and painted. You can also do what I do now, as I don't like how messy paper mache gets. I use a bit of Sculpey clay to fill in the holes. Then I bake them using a hair dryer/heat gun and keep them in place using epoxy. Then resin the whole thing tight, prime, paint, then finally re-resin if you want a shiny finish/extra protective layer.
The other method I know of is to form a mask out of plaster bandages (not the particular brand I use, I get mine at whatever local hobby store. Link to show in case you've never heard of this stuff.) I realize this is getting WAY too long, so I'll neglect to put a how to in this comment as there's a ton of great guides (with pictures) on the internet. However if you'd like me to break it down just let me know. I will say though, the best advice I can give about this method is even if it's a pain to wash out, if you apply this stuff directly to your face, MAKE SURE you put generous, GENEROUS! amounts of petroleum jelly in all your hair that might even consider getting near these bandages; your eyebrows included.
I realize this is getting really long. I do apologize. So as far as helmets go, it's not exactly what you want, but it's a very good start for a paper/resin helmet. If you want any further explanation on ANY of this, don't hesitate to ask. I'll try to upload the few pictures that I might have as well.
tl;dr: sorry even the tl;dr is too lengthy. Hope this helps though. Best of luck!
[edit]: I realized after I typed all this out you asked about foam crafting. Sorry about that... I don't have enough experience working with foam to make a mask like this and give advice.
[edit2]: I also forgot to mention, to attach the mask to the helmet and make it move you can always use a metal bracket placed stationary on the mask and on a tight hinge on the helmet.

CAUSE!

This is a long explanation, but it's necessary to properly answer your question. The fifth wall connection are a way to bridge the airgap to infect us with a malware program called "Elliot". Stay with me here - another potential fourth wall connection is how Grace Gummer's mother was in The Manchurian Candidate but unless you believe what I believe about this story it seems meaningless and like a huge stretch. I think we've all been intentionally split in to theory tribes by season 2, like in our actual society. We're driven by the stories we believe, and we each believe different things about this story. I think season 2 was written with some intention to discredit Elliot and discredit the people looking deeper as is the case with conspiracy theorists as well as victims of government programs like MK Ultra or people obsessed with the singularity. I've been told several times by users like _whiter0se that I'm over thinking things -- which is what Sam reportedly tells his actors when they start prying. Season 2 made Elliot seem like a straight up crazy person, and many people in the audience wrote off everything Elliot said in season 1 while questioning why they previously ever agreed with him so by extension we question ourselves. Everything that happens to Elliot is in a way happening to the audience because the show is written to turn us in to f.society -- and by extension Rose's Dark Army as way to expose us to the exploits of our programmable nature, because Sam Esmail leads a team of social white hats.


This level of complexity and inter-connectivity is all possible because the show is written like a piece of software and possibly with the assistance of software. Everything is a fractal branching out from Elliot and Tyrell, [season 2 spoilers](#s "as we can see on Dom's Whiteboard with 31 chess pieces on it with the absence of Vera. There are 32 pieces in a game of chess "). It's a mandelbrot set ("find your monster"). Everything is connected but not every connection is necessarily meaningful, which is in a sense up to the observer until the conclusion, which I think may also be up to the audience to decide, though no one seems to believe me, so I can relate to lost_tsol. We should have been working together, and now I can't find him...

Anyhow, the reason it's hard to follow and the reason I wonder if the audience plays a bigger role than we realize right now is because there are two plots at war; [Season 2 Spoilers](#s "While Elliot sees god as a system of control that he despises Tyrell sees God as a path towards being granted total control. He truly believed Evil Corp was capable of managing the world and his God was Phillip Price, but Mr Robot made him see a greater God that he thinks he can get to with Elliot. Tyrell sees God as his path to greater power and control. Maybe while Elliot sees Evil Corp, Tyrell saw Enlightenment Corp. They're having the same battle that Elliot was having with Mr Robot but couldn't settle because they always found themselves in a stalemate. Tyrell and Elliot have completely separate wills, and between them they can make independent choices where Elliot and Mr Robot cannot. Whichever King is left standing in the end ushers in a new world of either total control under the god we've been trying to create for millennia possibly in the form of AI (coltan) or freedom from our constructs of control perhaps by way of a nuclear pinch that wipes out all electronic communications capabilities returning us to a wilder more tribal time. Tyrell and Elliot are Kings being moved by the hands of White Rose to battle each other to decide the future order while we stand on the precipice of irreversible change and watch. ")

"Master" of a human botnet."

[Hypothesis with potential spoilers](#s "There is so much information that we infer meaning, sometimes it's the intended meaning and sometimes it's synchronicity for synchronicity sake. It's unprecedented because the plot is written like a piece of software to reflect how certain players in the story have written people's histories as drivers. The story has been written to drive us. "Elliot" isn't an actual person, "Elliot" is program inside of a brainwashed kid who's history was erased at WTP. "Elliot" is infecting society both in the show and across our reality. People are buying masks and hoodies and even reading his journal. Sam Esmail has a background in computer science and I believe it influenced how the plot is laid out. I believe that's important to the central theme because the characters are essentially programmed to infect society. "Elliot" is the master of a human botnet. Additionally I also wonder if psychometrics were used to design the characters by inputting the films the target audience has seen to generate the perfect characters for the audience to follow. ")

[psychometrics](https://www.reddit.com/r/MrRobot/comments/6nyptk/spoilers_s02e12_our_democracy_has_been_hacked/?utm_content=title&utm_medium=user&utm_source=reddit&utm_name=frontpage)


In summary, I believe the fifth wall connections are by and large meant to bridge our world to Elliot's with the intention of putting us inside of his head while more importantly planting him inside of ours as a way to expose the audience to our programmable nature.


Welcome.

/u/lvwagner messaged us yesterday hours ago commenting on the rather dated nature of the Silverfish Full face guide linked in our wiki. So, with the aim of replacing it and adding to my already-pretty-extensive Safety Gear Guide, I present the Full Face Helmet guide!

It's not finished, and I'm open to adding more - so feel free to leave any suggestions in the comments below!





Helmets are a seriously important piece of kit for skating, and we’ve already got a pretty good guide for half-shell lids. However, once you start going faster you’ll find that your piss-pot helmet just won’t cut it.

That’s where a FULL FACE helmet comes in.

Yes, they’re expensive. Not prohibitively so, but you’ll be paying at least double the price of a standard half-shell helmet. Sure, you could skimp on a cheap one [please don’t buy that…], but this is your head we’re talking about protecting here. You only get one skull.

In terms of SAFE**^ full-face helmets, you have two primary options.

1. Longboarding-specific helmets.
   
   |Pro [+] |Con [-]
   |:-|:-
   |Designed for longboarding. | Expensive
   |Optimum visibility
   |Aerodynamics
   |Visor for blocking wind at speeds
   |Shape is designed for easy tucking
   |Lightweight
   
   
2. Modified Mountain Bike helmets
   
   |Pro [+] |Con [-]
   |:-|:-
   |Cheaper| Non-aerodynamic
   |Same level of safety rating | No stock visor
   || ^^[Usually] heavier
   || Less visibility
   
   
   ^^ ^yes, ^I ^know ^that ^there ^are ^other ^options ^out ^there ^like ^skydiving/paragliding ^helmets, ^or ^even ^motorbiking. ^But ^I ^don't ^believe ^they're ^safe ^enough ^to ^recommend ^in ^this ^guide.*
   
   
   For longboarding-specific helmets, you have several common options.
   
   | Helmet | Price
   |:-|:-
   |Predator DH6 | $325
   |Triple 8 Racer | $300
   | New Olders Super Race | ~$220
   | Vector m-5 | $220
   
   
   
   Once you delve into mountain bike helmets, however, there's a lot more choice - not all of which will be good for skating.
   
   By far the most commonly used MTB helmet used for skating is the BELL DROP ($110). Cheap, CPSC certified and relatively light, you couldn't really ask for much more - except perhaps a Roger Bros Bell Drop Visor ($25), or maybe the DIY option.
   
   The other common option is the 661 Comp Shifted ($74), although it's more bulky than the Drop and slightly heavier, too.
   
   
   
   In the end, the main decider on which helmet you get is going to be price. If you can afford a longboarding-specific helmet, by all means go for it. If you're planning to race seriously, the benefits of a helmet like that are massive. However, if you just want some added protection and your budget can't quite stretch to the ~$200 mark, then know that you'll be just as safe in a MTB lid like the Bell Drop or 661 Comp.

I bought this Unicorn Mask and thought it would be fun to wear to a Burning Man festival. Well, I was right....and so very wrong. It started when i ate 23 mushroom caps and started dancing to a def leopard and skrillex mashudp. I met a cute girl who said that she absolutely loved my mask, we started dancing and she licked my horn... RAD RIGHT? Well it turns out the LSD in her saliva caused a massive unicorn population spawning epidemic in the desert the next day. After running 38 miles into the desert, I have to say that the mask doesn't hold up very well to long distance running. I'm slightly disappointed in the quality as it completely melted off my face. Seriously...I don't have a face anymore.

On a side note this guilds great! I transferred from another server to partake in the festivities and I am really pleased with the community! I've been raiding and running mythic+ dungeons with the guild. Hope to see you there!

​

1. They look like martial arts pants and martial arts pants would probably look better for photos as they are made from a more stiff bodied material than sweatpants.
   
   
2. I've seen a lot of people use simple waterproof liquid eyeliner with good results for tattoos (you may need two or three pens for a tattoo that size), but there is also alcohol activated Skin Illustrator Tattoo that will only come off with alcohol
   
   
3. If you plan on making the mask, I suggest to buy a cheap skull mask as a base like this http://www.amazon.com/Cryptic-Cadavers-Skull-Bones-Halloween/dp/B001TEYIEA/ref=sr_1_41?ie=UTF8&qid=1396433677&sr=8-41&keywords=skull+mask, hotglue yellow spandex over it for and cut off the bottom portion. Reason being that you wouldnt usually get such a defined browbone structure from just wearing a cloth mask alone. Draw in the eye holes and trim to shape.
   
   Good luck, and if you actually try out this method of making the mask I'd love to see the end result as it's a theory XD

Congrats on 50 gifts! That's awesome!

The craziest thing on my wishlist is this magical unicorn mask!

Those are absolutely adorable bookmarks! Thank you very much for hosting :) Although I have a love for the cat bookmarks, I really like #6 for some reason!

As far as not wanting it to be a "mash up" of pieces, good luck. These are custom costumes and not readily available pieces. You'll have to buy separate pieces, do some constructing on your own, and hope they match up and look ok.

you can tell from this image that its a coat and pants.

I think wearing this jacket (remove the pocket buttons for a cleaner look. Hell, remove ALL the buttons and add some Velcro or snaps inside the "fly" to seal up more cleanly) will work best for your purposes. I can't find a stand-collar style jacket or even just zipper-down bomber in two-tone, and I can't find any in white in dyeable materials. Your best bet is probably this jacket.

there are lots of patterns for shoulder pads online that you can follow with foam and cover with a fabric of your choosing so that the size/color matches the costumes (you can see the shoulder pads are a shinier material than the jacket). Attach with craft spikes

For the pants, wear a split-color jean

this mask

these boots

You could always go with this instead and remove the head so as to form a collar (you would then need to buy a different morph hood for the head, in black) and then do the shoulder pad thing. Much easier. You'll likely run into issues with the amount of lycra/spandex in that suit in terms of adding shoulder pads, etc. Its unlikely they'll sit where you want them to. You're much better off using something that won't stretch, like the cotton jacket above.

Unless you're going to a poppy-themed party, no one is going to know what your costume is, so its not like anyone will be scrutinizing the verisimilitude of it. You might have to settle for "the best I can get on short notice".

By the way, of few of those say they were added August 3rd, but it was honestly at like 2 in the morning before I went to bed, so I thought they were added yesterday.

Welcome to reddit This is a place where the boring becomes interesting to someone and people of all kinds come to share interests in everything.


Have you ever felt a primal need to build a sword? check out /r/blacksmithing! Does your grandma need a new scarf /r/knitting might be your thing. Looking for something a little more lower brow then maybe the NSFW subreddits are for you. Wondering why things go bang then maybe check out /r/science

If your interested in it there is probably someone else on here that has that interest. Check out /r/askreddit thats always interesting.


On reddit you can be anyone you want. There are people who have 5 different accounts and some of them are really funny. We have reddit "celebrities" like /u/unidan who is an honest to god scientist!


Reddit is a place to learn, explore, laugh, cry (seriously stay away from the subreddit "spacedicks" you will thank me... no its not images of dicks in space) and share. You will be down voted and you will struggle to get up votes. Don't stress it and ignore trolls :)



I reccomend you continue with your CBT as it will help you longterm. Everything matters now! You have a hole in you and you need to fill it!

Whats your favourite food? You should order some and eat it! Whens your birthday? You should hop on amazon and find what your buying yourself for your birthday! I bet you could use a horse mask to freak out people on Facebook and on the train to work.

This journey your on isn't easy but i promise there is hope and there are people to help you along the way (even complete strangers)

Part 2/2

ok, took a little longer to come post this, but here it is.

Obviously you need a mask. Any hockey mask will do as long as you have an imagination, but this is the one I used here.

First you want to sand it down until the whole surface is rough. Sandpaper or a sanding sponge are fine.

Next you can use a drill to drill out movie accurate holes.

Take a sharp object and slash the fuck out of the mask. Or just cut specific lines that you want for scratches.

Sand it a little bit to smooth out the cuts and wipe it clean to remove the plastic dust.

Use Krylon Almond spray paint for the base coat. Let it dry and cut it a bit more and sand it a little in places for texture.

Spray paint it again with the almond for the final spray coat and let it dry.

Hand paint the chevrons or use tape to do it like someone else suggested.

Then the rest of the colors are up to your preference. I like dark browns, black, forest green, yellow, bright red, dark red, light brown, etc...

You'll want to use a damp cloth and slightly dip it in whatever paint you want to shade the mask with. Lightly wipe the paint on the mask and spread it using the wet cloth.

After getting the mask to what you want it to look like, let it dry and then use the krylon clear coat spray paint to finish it off.

Here's the paints and techniques from the last time i did this:

Krylon Cover Maxx Almond spray paint for the base and second coat.

Krylon Cover Maxx Crystal Clear Acrylic spray paint for the last coat once everything else is done.

Apple Barrel paints:

Jet Black

Chocolate Sprinkle

Brown Oxide

Bright Red

Lime Tree

Yellow Flame

Too Blue

White

For the dirty look I mixed the browns and black and sometimes added small amounts of green.

The blood is a mix of browns and red with some light amount of black. After it dried i smudged on black with my fingers to give it some texture.

See if you can give the mask a more matte/opaque appearance so your face isn't clearly visible (without blinding yourself of course); I recall Tali's face was at best sort of foggy behind the mask, in the photo I can see your face a bit too well which can distract from the intended character.

Also three fingered gloves of course would help give the alien appearance~

Otherwise, your costume looks pretty awesome so far, nice work!

Edit: found a mask like this, so there are at least options; I wonder if something like this could be integrated into your current helm

hello! I’m the girl who posted the cosplay photos, and here’s I got almost everything from Amazon!

Hat-https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001FARML4/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=APCG45FOXJN54

Jacket-https://www.amazon.com/Legendary-Whitetails-Journeyman-Rugged-Tobacco/dp/B00EUHCUIO/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549686904&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=mr+robot+jacket&dpPl=1&dpID=413WlcHyQSL&ref=plSrch

Mask-https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Robot-Fsociety-Adult-Mask/dp/B01ENRXCOQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1549686926&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=mr+robot+mask&dpPl=1&dpID=41rABaw4%2BcL&ref=plSrch

Patch-I printed a photo out and attached it to a cardboard backing, but I know they have patches on amazon!

Shirts-I wore a black t-shirt and layered an old flannel on top of it!

Scarf-Again, old scarf, so I’m unsure of where I got it. Any pattern would do well, though, as long as it was brown/tan!

Glasses-My own glasses lol. I did the same cosplay back when I had hipster-esque glasses; it doesn’t impact anything too much unless you’re a stickler for the details.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, let me know!

you could try your hand at this? that might get your mind off of things for a while :)


Edit: here's some more things that might make you smile (I'm just realizing how wacko my wishlists are)

• Captain America apron
  
  
• Blast from the past water gun
  
  
• my grandpa's head
  
  
• sassy hand sanitizer
  
  
• psy's head
  
  
• dinosaur salt shakers rawr
  
  
• heart measuring cups for the lady
  
  
• every child's dream
  
  
• a giant woody on your wall

Not sure how it'd look, but maybe consider getting one of these to wear under the helmet? Arthas' face is rarely shown as the Lich King.

Then to really kick it up a notch, attach some blue LEDs to the eye holes of the helmet.

But it already looks amazing, so don't take my ideas to mean anything different. Excellent work!

• Get one of those cheap locker mirrors. When she starts staring, try and line it up to wherever she's looking (probably your face). (Or just start wearing this around her.)
  
• Pretend like you are speaking to her in sign language. Or even better, learn some phrases, like:
  
  
  • "Stop being rude."
    
  • "Your hair looks very muddy today." (I'm sorry, I thought I was saying your hair is brown.)
    
  • "What time is your funeral?" (I was asking what time is the march?) (I looked that one up under signs that are close but not the same.)
    
• Treat her like one of those weird paintings whose eyes follow you wherever you go.
  
• See how many of these you can get away with. Bonus: Never actually look at her while doing it. You can always pretend like you were joking with that person that just left the room -- sorry you missed them, MIL!

Zambambo

My daughter would go bananas over Pinkie Pie. She loves those random packs where you get a surprise pony, and she would most definitely set this up next to all of them. A magical time would be had by all ponies involved, I'm sure.

Magical unicorn mask

Woo! Funtime!

OK...I'm thinking about something with a horse, magic pills, and a yodeling pickle.

On second thought...let's just go with drawing stuff, cuz art is awesome!

This looks like it's molded plastic, not latex.. It sounds like it needs a bit of work to make it comfortable (one guy trimmed a cheap ski mask to cushion it, and others said they touched up the paint. But one of the users is clear that it's not latex.

Hello! Terribly sorry that, I'm five days late for this.
Anyway the mask that's used in that reference photo you linked is likely a modified version of this mask right here, or at least something similar: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EO8TSCU/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

I'm actually in the progress of a Jacket cosplay as so I'm not too sure what the best method for the mask would be. What I'd suggest doing is painting the eyes on the mask black, and highlighting some of the other facial features on the mask so it stands out more. A few people have recommended using an airbrush to give it a dirty appearance too. Hopefully this helped a bit. Good luck on your cosplay!

Picture of me and my baby puppy, Lottie!!

that was easy!!

Thanks for the contest!! :D

EDIT:: The price on that unicorn mask has been fluctuating like crazy lately, so if it happens to shoot up above $20 by the end of the contest, I'd love to have this tie for my other doggy!! :D

I tried Ebay (but most of the time, it is sold in 24 hours), a few Star Wars forums, several shops... but it is very rare.

You have this one but the quality is awful:
http://www.amazon.com/Rubies-Costume-Co-2868-Stormtrooper/dp/B00001T38Y/ref=sr_1_2?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1333207245&sr=1-2

The best wereable helmet for a cheaper price with a decent quality is this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O86M2U/

The upper price for a best quality is the one I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/Stormtrooper-Helmet-eFX-Precision-Cast/dp/B00465MN5A/ref=pd_sbs_a_1

Then, you have a premium version: http://www.stormtrooper-costumes.com/39,stormtrooper_helmets.html

I guess you have other versions but for me, that was already a lot of money (but it's worth it).

Rubie's does make a good product once in a while, like this great Boba Fett helmet. Unfortunately, when they first start selling it for $30 back in 2015, it was quickly discontinued and they brought it back this year, only for around $50 it seems (none of the other helmets from the same line have increased in price, though).

the visor is pretty see through, but Rubies helmet is probabaly your best bet

This looks like a lot of fun, but this would be more fun

I guess any publicity is good publicity. I recently googled Sonic costume and there are already a bunch of mock-up movie Sonic masks available for purchase.. So he's being talked about/acknowledged by a broader audience than he has in years, yes

EDIT: My first reaction when I saw this... BLUE GRINCH. The second reaction.. hey that kinda looks like a defined version of Sonic's life icon from the genesis games.

I'm actually trying to pull this off for halloween as well.. The closest one that I have found was on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Rubies-Costume-Co-2868-Stormtrooper/dp/B00001T38Y/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1411704960&sr=8-12&keywords=Rubies+co+stormtrooper

My brother got the vader mask from that company and said it's pretty nice quality considering the price.

I wish I took more pictures of the process :-/ but I'll try to put that together with some Internet pics.

Basically I got cheap goalie mask as the base and cannibalized an old paintball mask. That's not the actual one, one I had came free with gear, really cheapy. Last thing I got were these steam punk goggles. I know there were cheaper ones; I think I only paid $12 for 'em.

SO I got all my pieces and held them in place with duct tape. Then paper mache, paint, and lacquer to keep everything on. Goggles were the most expensive part because I happened to have the pb mask laying around. Could have done it cheaper but I felt the green lenses REALLY pulled it together.

Hey Evil Ted (the guy on YouTube who makes awesome cosplay stuff, check him out) recommended this mask for projects like what you're describing! He mentioned using it for a Cobra Commander costume or a Destiny costume, but I'm sure it has a variety of applications. And it is said to be see-through on the inside. I haven't had a project to use it in yet but I am itching for an excuse to buy it and mess around with it myself lol.

You could get one like this or this and paint them yourselves.

My idea for a more form fitting version was to get a mask like the first one and then paint it, cut it into pieces, and mount it to a hood like this.

It'll work but you're gonna need to accessorize well with something like this

Well it will depend on your definition of 'Affordable'.

Under 30$


Funko Pop's! A good choice for <12$. And there's a wide variety of characters to choose from.

Thrawn is a good re-introduction to one of the most memorable Star Wars villains.

Battlefront II: Inferno Squad serves as a companion piece to the new game coming out next week.

Over 30$

Smuggler's Bounty Box A subscription box by Funko. One Box =25$ 12 month subscription (6 boxes) =150$

LEGO Kylo Ren's TIE Fighter You're never too old for LEGO! Also Available: BB8, Resistance Bomber, First Order Heavy Assault Walker

Battlefront II Might be a good choice if your kids are into gaming. I've played the beta, and loved it despite some flaws. But be forewarned, this game has been getting slammed online for it's loot-box/progression system. Also available on Playstation 4 & PC

Black Series Helmets

Stormtrooper shown. Poe Dameron, Shadow Trooper & Kylo Ren are also available.

Black Series Lightsaber

Darth Vader shown. Luke Skywalker, Rey, Obi-Wan Kenobi & Kylo Ren are also available.

A Custom-made Lightsaber:(Very pricey!)

Ultrasabers, Vader's Vault, Saberforge

Yeah, but I used a simpler mask since I didn't want it to be as detailed. It worked really well. It doesn't destroy the masks or anything either, so if it doesn't work out for whatever reason you can always use them for another method.

Nice.

When you want an upgrade, I recommend this one.

The jacket he has is available on amazon I think, I'm pretty sure he sew the "B" on it, as for the mask he and I have the [same] (https://www.reddit.com/r/HotlineMiami/comments/6lyq8n/my_jacket_cosplay/), basically the mask comes totally clean and the eyes are green and yellow and the fur is just white, as you can see we both painted the eyes black and added blood and shit, he painted his a bit darker.

You can buy it [here] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EO8TSCU/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_21_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MFKFTHB21D1X069K8CW5&dpPl=1&dpID=81-W8xsspyL).

Uta is a master mask maker. He probably uses morph masks or two-way mirrors.

Now as for the kakuja masks that cover the eyes, yeah, I can't think of an excuse for that, haha. At least Kurona has the convenience of having multiple "eyes".

Yeah, we just bought these and painted them and made the guy from a pillowcase. Good call on buying them though, the girl masks were so annoying and took forever!

I put these two items in my private, 'not really' wishlist because they made me laugh! enjoy and enjoy

Here are two things to get you started:

For a grand total of 156.84! Consider me your personal shopper.

Try this maybe?
Black Mask typically has his entire head covered. Also major props if you can paint it a metallic black. That would look amazing.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00236QOPY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1382319028&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I'll post some pictures when it's finished.

I don't have your crafting skills, so I opted to buy this mask instead: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003IBR38A

It was on sale for about $8 when I purchased it a week ago, and it looks great. I peeled off the frilly gold ribbon around the edges, and I'm going to speckle it with a bit of blood too.

May not be exactly what you're looking for, but I figured I'd help none the least.

http://www.amazon.com/Forum-Novelties-Inc-69503-Crocodile/dp/B00BT8W3IY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1381923497&sr=8-5&keywords=raptor+mask

Depends on what type of plague doctor mask and gas mask. If it's a respirator mask, where only the mouth is covered (ie, half-mask) and the plague doctor mask is designed like the Mardi Gras masks, (again, half-mask), it can work. Additionally a gas mask + Mardi Gras mask would work as well.

In my head the mannequin has one of these and one of these.

Ahem: I wake up and piss excellence and have Unicorn milk on my Cheerios... These are the rest of the photos from that day! More than the minimum two!

AND HERE IS AN EPIC ITEM ON MY WL THAT IS OH SO APPROPRIATE!

You're Canadian, so obviously you had to skin your first moose at the age of 6, as is tradition. When you turned seven, you were officially inducted into The Holy Order or Bryan Adams, in which all Canadians must slay a rapid beaver while drenched in purple maple syrup, as is tradition.

From there you wandered the country till you found shelter in an abandoned Tim Hortons. Living off stale doughnuts and spoiled coffee, you were near starvation till you met your husband, The King of all Mounties. Hypnotized by his bright red uniform and his Kids in the Hall VHS collection, you married him on your eighteenth birthday and then sealed the marriage by punching a moose in the dick, as is tradition.

Then you and The King of All Mounties opened up a 24/7 poutine shop, where people just dive into a giant swimming pool full of the potato and gravy abomination and gorge themselves, as is tradition. The Queen of England even stops by, because apparently, she's a not-ruler of Canada or something.

On your days off, you like to wander The Hall of Canadian Heroes, where giant statues of people like Jim Carrey, Pam Anderson and Tommy Chong are made of piles of fossilized steamers, as is tradition. You currently live in a log cabin where it's freezing cold winter for 350 days of the year.

Oh and I need this so I can bring Gotham to it's knees, eh?

I got that helmet on Amazon for like $30. http://www.amazon.com/Darth-Vader-Deluxe-Adult-Black/dp/B000ZQ667A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459012768&sr=8-1&keywords=darth+vader+helmets

You could get something like this

And fill the eye holes with something like this so that you can see.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DYSVS0A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4vb7Cb6HBPSKP

Then just use some foam and soldering wire for the rest. And paint of course


If you don't care about being able to see, you should be able to find just a blank slate mask out there somewhere

Maybe like this one but just paint it white https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007S016WQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_aAb7CbVHD6SS1

'Ere ya go good sir

The unicorn mask is better.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EO8TSCU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_hrvIDb7YH3EJA

Though I completely blacked out the eyes with permanent marker to make it look more like the Richard mask.

I got it here I'm also planning on blacking out the eyes so it looks more like Richard too ;D

For convenience here's another pic

The cage looks to be a very simple design and can easily be constructed using cardboard or EVA foam. My personal preference would be to use EVA foam.

Things you'd need:

• EVA foam (you can order online or get from your local big name hardware store)
  
  
• Blue-ish colored thin plastic for the covering (probably can get this at your local craft store or you can use something from an office supply store)
  
  
• skull mask or something similar (from your local halloween or costume store) or Amazon
  
  
• LEDs (to add the glowing effects)

Your wish is my command.

I think I would start with a standard face mask you can find in costume, hobby shops or online. Then build onto it with EVA foam strips/wedges and fill the gaps with a filler like paper clay.

Looks like they have them on Amazon and... Mother of god... I need one of these.

Amazon. I literally just bought this one and it's top quality.

^(also wtf)

I'm a fan of the unicorn mask.

Yeah the mask was tricky. I found mine through Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/HMS-Rooster-Mask-Faux-White/dp/B00EO8TSCU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488128945&sr=8-1&keywords=for+rooster+mask

Ok. If there's a such thing as see-through paint, you can buy the chrome mask here; https://www.amazon.com/Disguise-No-Face-Chrome-Mask/dp/B007S016WQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=chrome+mask&qid=1570238225&sr=8-1
and then paint it.

So my mask was probably the biggest nightmare of the costume. Because I don't have access to a vacuum former I was having a hard time getting the shape right. I ended up buying a plastic mask off Amazon and airbrushing it with purple glass paint. I then inserted the mask into the helmet I had built out of EVA foam and cut it down to the right size and shape. I also tried colored tinting for automobile windows and had pretty good luck but they just don't make them in the right color of purple for Tali so I went the air brush route instead. Here is the link to the plastic mask (Disguise Costumes No Face Chrome Mask, Adult https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007S016WQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YeZPzbWKG3469) let me know if you have any other questions! Although I respond on Facebook much faster than Reddit (https://www.facebook.com/duoqcosplay/)

Well there's this one... http://www.amazon.com/Rubies-Costume-Co-Three-Fourth-Multi-Colored/dp/B0073E5308/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345514775&sr=8-1&keywords=bane+mask

You can by premade bits like that. here's the one I have saved but it's chrome. If you can find a clear one, punished props has a video showing how you boil it with fabric dye to add a tint.

I don't remember the website, but the mask will be in stock later this month on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EO8TSCU/ref=mp_s_a_1_32?ie=UTF8&qid=1486823683&sr=8-32&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=rooster+costume&dpPl=1&dpID=41%2BnqZ8ErRL&ref=plSrch

Isn't that just the top part of a regular 'ol Darth Vader helmet?

amazon, they ship only in usa

Amazon has a crocodile mask that is cheap, ships via Prime, and may be close enough.

holy crap this is what you started with

Real good work.

Just get this and find a very 80's sweater at the Goodwill and you're golden!

What about riding a large human wearing a unicorn mask?

Here is something from Amazon.

There's a few on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EO8TSCU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_qjlXBbA206MR9 This is the one o bought, but at this point it's been painted and stained and all sorts of stuff.

I'd just go with the ones on Amazon

I dont see why people just dont get some blank white masks

You should get your little girl smoe more toys

And you should get this strange little girl a mask

I guess you didn't try Amazon or Ebay.

Not recommending these or anything, I am just saying that they are Bane masks that you can buy.

There's always the magical unicorn mask.

It's presumably this?

Black Series Stormtrooper Helmet MSRP's at $79.99. 79.99 x 21(or so) students = $1679.79

Assuming they were all the same helmet, which they weren't.

Although this may be breaking the rules because i NEED it!

Apparently it changes. Before it was all condoms, 1 lube, 1 horsehead.

Now it's horsehead, lube, microfiber gloves, testicle exam kit, the ore, and a gallon of milk. Also this.

Horse masks are kind of passe now. Unicorn masks are where it's at.
