Oh how I was relieved when they informed me so.
It's an strange turn of events to actually hear someone happy their order was not fulfilled. lol

I received my mask today, which I wanted to cancel but couldn't because I went for flexpay and didn't want to loose money for canceling so late. It was delivered to my parents house, which I called into briefly whilst passing through town. To be honest, when I opened it, I wasn't as disgusted as I thought I was going to be! Some of the pics I had seen in the last few weeks have done this piece more of an injustice than it deserves. It may be well off the mark compared to the movie but I still think it is quite cool. I believe if Joe the plumber saw this in a shop window as he was passing, and hadn't seen any of the pics, or read any of the forums, he'd think it was cool too. PLUS i can get it to fit on my head (bear in mind i'm only 5' 8" and slim build and it sliced off both my ears a la Mark "Chopper" Read, but, I got it on!) I will post some pics asap.

The thing I wanted to ask you guys was this. I seem to have received number 01 of 250!! How significant is this? It is written on the printed picture box sleeve, but because my inspection was so brief, I couldn't find it written on the actual mask or stand!?!

On a MASSIVE upside to my day, my CM Preddy also arrived the same day but I hadn't time to open it so I will make the trek back to my parents tomorrow with my baby girl so granny can see baby and daddy can unwrap his new "baby" mwah ha haa!!!

It's like the factor x stuff. Like the iron man helmet they made or the doom mask. I don't know why they try to make the stuff out of metal (hammering metal). They should just chrome plate resin.

Is museum replicas the same company as factory x? The stuff has the same look.

Looks like a chrome chimpanzee head. Is it that far off or is it just me?

Nope, I got confirmation today that Sideshow got the helmet back. Someone out there on the wait list is going to be very excited... well, until they see what it looks like, anyway.
