New FAKE Scream masks hit the market

[@burmiester1]

I probably sound callous here but I really couldn't care less. This hobby has gotten prohibitively expensive and it's not even fun anymore because the fans keep paying outrageous prices, which encourages scalpers and con artists. FunWorld wants to complain about how there are bootleg masks being sold, well maybe they should have done more to release the 25th anniversary masks properly. Hardly any places had them and the few places that did got bought out by scalpers charging outrageous prices. The fact that standard EUs cost a hundred dollars now is an insult. There are so many millions of them floating around, it's just a classic example of scammers ripping off fans who don't know any better. Until the fan base puts their foot down and stops paying a hundred bucks for an ASIS, these bootlegs will keep getting sold. It's a Ghostface mask for what they actually should cost. Like you said, I'm not sure why they aren't still making the EUs. Ultrawhites *SUCK*. Soapbox rant over, but I'm really embarrassed at how bad this hobby has gotten. You can't enjoy it anymore unless you have money falling out of your ass.

The scamming part sucks but I think every other aspect is great, because people like myself who just wanted a good Ghostface mask that isn't an ultra white, these come in clutch. They are high quality masks that look great, though getting scammed with one of these if you're looking for an authentic EU mask is unfortunate.

[@jenniferbayarea5748]

Yess, plus everyone wants the like OG ones from the 90’s and early 2000’s. My brother accidentally threw away his original blood scream mask when we went trick or treating i think 2000 or 2001.

[@leszekleshiye2109]

I can’t blame the company for making their own, they saw there was a market for EU style masks over the ugly shiny version and they filled the niche that people wanted. Hopefully funworld takes notes and starts making them again

That’s really the main thing that I hope comes from this, the restoration of the Eu to the market and removal of ultra whites.

This is like comparing a mandarin orange to a tangerine. A Chinese mask is a Chinese mask. We currently live in a world where a cheaply made Chinese mask from the 90s is now selling for $100+. These "bootlegs" are just evening out the score.

The original looks better in my opinion. Finally got my hands on a 25th anniversary mask for $20! Was not paying the $800 that eBay sellers ask for!!

I should've just kept my EU Ghostface I bought for $50 in 2020. It's insane how much they are all going for now. It would be nice if EU molds came back in mass production and re placed the ultra white at Walmart and other retailers. Yeah I know the 25th exists, but I'm not paying $150 and up for a Ghostface considering how basic it is compared to something like the Michael Myers mask which i spend good money on from indy artists.

[@nurxyzz]

bought a fake one because its almost impossible to find an affordable good condition real one, thanks to hoarders and ppl like u holding on to multiples of the same ones boosting the market up. i literally wanted one gen 2 real mask but thats too much to ask for apparently, been trying to get one for literally over a year and half and im not willing to drop $200+

@Ramazan bekir Absolutely, I already have almost all of the EU’s (squinty, ASIS, etc..) so I got one for my partner since they wanted a simple Ghostface mask for the cheap

[@burmiester1]

@Ramazan bekir Ultrawhites are the WORST Ghostface masks ever made. The only ones that even come close were those thin, floppy ones that were made with the old T molds in like 2012. Frankly I'd rather have one of the crappy plastic ones than an ultrawhite lol

@Ramazan bekir shit I bought 3 of them, I have an ultra white too but they just don't look very good. Honestly these knock offs are fantastic

[@AndreaGori]

@@burmiester1 The thing I can’t stand about the ultrawhite is the mold, the eye shape is so generic it looks like a Ghostface that’s about to go to sleep, if they used the same mold that they use for the plastic bib ones it would be a lot better. Then you also have the thin eye meshes and bad glossy paintjob that really make it an awful mask.

[@American_Dead]

Love your vids, boss. I agree it sux people are using them to rip people off. These Aliexpress masks are great cosplay on a budget and excellent for customizing and modifications or rehauls. Better than ruining a vintage or licensed mask in my opinion.

[@Thexprettyxdisasterx]

I recently became a Ghostface fan (Maybe a few months ago). I was very unsure about which mask I wanted to get, so I bought one that looks similar to this one for around 10 USD. To me, it looks ok. I do however have a bit of an expensive Myers collection. I hope as I learn more about Ghostface masks I will be able to tell which ones are the best and perhaps upgrade my display.

[@KevinLuper99]

Honestly, as a budget collector, this might be my best option.

[@JurassicNath18]

At the beginning of my research I bought one and I got reimbursed by managing to find an official one, but by some miracle, I received it anyway. I gave it to a friend who is not as interested as me but despite having it for a short time I can see the difference. I smelled it and it's true that it smells horrible. At the moment I only have an UltraWhite and a 25th Anniversary April-June 2022 (i.e. it's in poor condition) so I'm still looking for one last good one that will satisfy me and not cost me an arm and a leg and a leg but without getting fooled with a fake (either a happy 25th birthday or the one I love) but what I can say is you're right. The UltraWhite smells less than the 25th Anniversary and yet the smell was still good. I like to feel my masks. I can't wait to get the last one I'm looking for. Thank you for this explanatory video.

I'm only 6 minutes into the video but this is my opinion, as a collector I understand the frustration and not wanting to get scammed but as somebody who loves ghostface and may not have around $40 to buy a real eu and not wanting to buy an ultra white this $14 knock off Is a good somewhat screen accurate mask for cosplay and photos I purchased one and it's really cool to wear and mess with people but I don't have plans on ever selling it

Well this is great for ghostface collector's or fans who just want a mask and don't care about it and most people definitely don't want an ultra white compared to this

[@filimonov207]

Here I have such a ghost face mask from Aliexpress , because in Russia the original masks from the fan world are not sold, but I like such masks with Aliexpress, they are very high quality, only there are disadvantages like the original ones, these are yellow spots, blue stripes (apparently these masks were squeezed out at production) the paint is not reliable painted, that is, if you scratch the black paint, then scratches will remain (white latex will be visible under the paint), but you can repaint, and so a normal mask, I would still like to buy the original if it was sold in the markets in Russia.

[@pureace23]

I purchased it for what it was, the AliExpress EU and I’m very happy with it myself. Get a crappy ultra white for like 20 something dollars? Or get the EU knockoff for like 12? I’ll gladly take the $12 knockoff with the knowledge of what it was. Hell I bought like 5

[@MrBaracu]

I bought 4 fake masks because i like the masks.

[@SH_317]

I see that many hate the ultra white and their points of view are understandable, I have one and the truth is I am satisfied with the purchase I made because I was able to use an original Funworld product for last Halloween, although it is true, it has its defects such as dents on the head and also one side of the chin protrudes more although I have tried to fix them, so I looked for a new mask based on the Scream 3 model, but to my surprise I found them too expensive even if they were used and when I found the copy of I didn't miss out on this opportunity and bought it. I recently received it. It's a good economical option, although I have to say that it also has its flaws.

I bought one of these to use it for cosplay without worrying about my actual funworld masks to get damaged by the convention wear n tear, that strong chemical smell goes away after leaving them outside for 1 or 2 days, after that they will basically smell like ordinary rubber.

[@CREDITSROLLFILMS]

Thanks for confirming the smell Goes away i have 4 on the way and plan on leaving them out for a week before washing them and trying them on these are perfect for cosplay and customs without messing up expensive vintage masks im going to make a blood splatter mask based on scream 4 with one of them

[@AndreaGori]

@@CREDITSROLLFILMS A week is overkill maybe but that + washing them will make them perfectly safe to wear. I recommend maybe just removing excess glue when they first arrive since mine had a couple of stains on the eyes that I luckily managed to remove with a toothpick since the glue was still fresh.

I think these smell because they just make them, pack them and ship them without giving the material time to settle, that includes the glue.

I believe this may be the same scenario as what is happening with a lot of NECA figures. These “bootlegs” are using the same mold and are even often made in the same factory by workers realising there is a market to sell them off privately. Having worked in a facility like this the tag makes the item a “finished good” in which case it is accounted for, before that it’s like taking candy from a baby to “steal” these masks. It’s cheaply made in China. The “real” one is cheaply made in China.
