FRAZETTA "BARBARIAN" COLLECTIBLE MASK
LIMITED EDITION - ONLY 100 PIECES WORLDWIDE
Now available for pre-order!

From Torro Studios, comes the "Frazetta's Barbarian" Limited Edition collectible mask, based on one of the most iconic images in sci-fi / fantasy history. A career sculptor and portrait artist, Torro spent decades as a hired gun for film, T.V. and private collectors creating ultra realistic statues, busts and stunt masks. His skill for capturing likenesses and his love for Frazetta's art, converged to finally bring The Barbarian to life.

All are individually handcrafted, so each is an original piece of art. Every contour, wrinkle is matched line for line with the original painting. It's basically a wearable museum display bust.

Using a special formulation of skin-like and pre-colored natural latex, each thick but soft mask goes through an elaborate paint and hair process. No detail is spared even down to the hand laid eyebrows that help create the menacing scowl.

It features a high quality, human/synthetic blend, lace front wig. When you part the hair it looks like a real scalp. The wig also makes up the back half of the mask, allowing for ventilation and stretches to comfortably fit over most head sizes.

The polished, solid brass replica, double hoop earrings are almost identical in size to the original and add the finishing touch.



THE CHRONICLES OF CONAN VOLUME 33: 
  The Mountain Where Crom Dwells and Other Stories TP
Now available!

Roy Thomas (Writer), Mike Docherty (Pencils/Cover), E. R. Cruz (Pencils), John Watkiss (Pencils), Ricardo Villagrán (Inks/Cover), and Nel Yomtov (Color)
