Masks, all masks, nothing but masks

FROSTBITE ZOMBIE MASK - SIGNED - DATED - FIRST AND ONLY ONE MADE

NOTE: THIS IS THE ONLY ONE MADE. THE ARTIST WAS GOING TO PUT
IT INTO PRODUCTION, BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. SEE BELOW.

At some point in my personal career, I would like to establish a latex mask museum.
It would feature thousands of masks and be open to the public year-round.This
mask was going to be one of the starting centerpieces due to its known source,
quality of workmanship, and extreme uniqueness. It is the only one of its kind.

The purchaser will be asked someday to allow this to be displayed if the latex
mask museum ever comes to be, and to please stay in touch should they move.

What intially grabs my imagination was the touch of adding a blackened nose.
What, I wonder, would lead to such a feature? Perhaps simple putrification any
normal zombie experiences. But what happens if the unfortunate zombie comes
from an extreme cold climate? Would they rise from the grave with all the
agonizing and deforming injuries a death by freezing would entail? Anyone who
has seen the Discovery channel has seen images of frostbite damage in
documentaries about mountain climbing, usually blackening of appendages.

This is from Twisted Toybox, and is signed by the owner and artist, Chris Russell.

After a brutal 2007 production season, Chris' back was out, and we were in
danger of losing an important and talented member of the mask making
community. Chris sold off a few of his existing molds, trashed others, and sold
some of the existing inventory to me (whatever I could afford at the time).

Chris recently had surgery on his back and is well on his way to a complete
recovery. Twisted Toybox will be back, but with a more manageable
number of new and existing masks and props available.
