I disagree. Like the warlock stretch of the h2 deluxe, this mask was sculpted with the castle stretch. If you look at the mask in the film, it has an elongated look that I think is captured very well in this mask.
Is it the straight up Kirk? No, but it certainly isn’t their first stylized sculpt. Also for $60, get some liquid latex and repair it yourself. A bit of weathering on the face and you’ve got a great h1 for $60 and some change.
