I don't have these and I don't carve, but I've seen them recommended here and have them saved for future me:

Depends on the size of the masks you want to carve. If they're full sized, you might want to look into full size gouges like these. If you plan on carving smaller, the Flexcut palm gouges. This set is a great beginners set.
So I was looking at the flexcut deluxe carving tool set and the Narex 12 piece;
Flexcut Carving Tools, Mallet-Carving Chisels and Gouges for Woodworking, Deluxe Set of 10 (MC100) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000ZU6PNQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EE4RDbVMCKT1R
Narex 12 Piece Set Carving Chisels with 2 Knives and 10 Carving Chisels in Wooden Presentation Box 894850 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0195XY7BU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9B4RDb0DY4ZR3
But then I saw this Schaaf 12 piece set for under 100 bucks;
SCHAAF Full Size Wood Carving Tools Set of 12 with Canvas Case - Gouges and Chisels for Beginners, Hobbyists and Professionals https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XBLNRNM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_fF4RDbQJ1V7QP
And finally, I stumbled upon Ramelson, a 12 piece normal handle set and 12 piece palm handle set
https://www.woodcraft.com/products/ramelson-full-size-carving-tool-set-12-piece?gclid=Cj0KCQjw0brtBRDOARIsANMDykbW2SccFOMFWzhj0ANasXecUt9L9B2rWBAEmjYk87bweyGbxLZnjSsaAl0gEALw_wcB
https://www.woodcraft.com/products/palm-handled-carving-tool-set-12-piece?gclid=Cj0KCQjw0brtBRDOARIsANMDykYpPjdEaYymjRNjBw5K3qgttv0HzxBmnkWD3v5AZNyc5_myZyX1ARcaAkKOEALw_wcB
So my questions are, how are the schaaf's of similar quality to the flexcut and Narex sets at 2/3 the cost? I'm already turned off by flexcut due to the sprinf steel, Narex seems better, but I can't tell if schlaaf is just priced very well, or are crappy tools.
Lastly, the Ramelsons. How is their reputation? Worth the money, or overpriced nonsense?
I'd love some pfeifs, but I'm a hobbyist who can't justify the cost. I just bought a Tormek t8 so o figure I can deal with mediocre equipment as long as I maintain it. Crappy equipment is another story entirely.
And input or help is appreciated.
Also, I was planning on grabbing some Narex wooden chisels.(12 or 16 set); bad idea, or are they decent for the price?
I have pfeil and stubai and a variety of one-off I have bought over the years.
That said there is a new company that does short runs of full-sized tools you’d use for relief carving. I just bought their their 12 piece set and it is the best value hands down in terms of quality of what you get for the price I’ve seen. At $89 they will sell out soon:

What kind of carving does he want to do, as there are a ton of different types. If he is wanting to carve spoons and the like from green woods, look for a sloyd knife and a hook knife. If he is wanting to do more relief style carving these schaaf tool rolls are a killer deal! For just your average carving small figurines, any flexcut knife kit should do.
