Sure can. You can get a 3D sculpted head sculpt (in z brush if I am remembering correctly, but I could be wrong with the program title) for under $200. Then print them to your heart's content. I have painted multiple runs for small figure makers. I inquired as to what it would cost to get a pet project done. They clued me in on the fact that it isn't as costly as you think. There are plenty of artists that aren't charging a small fortune for their work. The work is good too. Shop around.
Long before Sideshow, I really pined for something like this. When Sideshow did their Phantom pf, and Don Post re-released their Phantom Calendar mask, and now NECA has given us an amazing looking figure for its scale and price, my desire for something like this has waned a tad. If the Exclusive would have been available, with the mask, from Sideshow's website (or any US based retailer) I would've jumped on it like an 2000 lb water buffalo on a turnip truck.
Did you send them an email asking if you will be receiving the mask, or did they just email you? Curious because I did not receive a notification...
I am the same. It isn't a matter of "can I afford this?" as much as it is "Do I want this badly enough to pay extreme shipping and jump through hoops to get it?" For me, it's all or nothing. If i don't think I will go for the whole sheebang, I can just skip it. I went whole hog on Horror of Dracula. Looks like I am skipping Erik.
I send them an email, asking for confirmation about the mask.
They would have been also better with rooted hair (doesn´t seem difficult to implement).
Common sense on display there. ^^^^^
