  1. To Reply to Ratchet, Malgus1438,Yankee71, All responses are correct, yet I must admit I have purchased the mask that is listed and shown above on the You Tube Video! Jeremy Oneal, Oneal FX Studios makes the Silicon Mask, your going to pay around $300-$350 with shipping and handling depending on where it is being sent! About the Mask you still will have to use adhesives to glue the sternum and jaw and lip area, if you have a mustache or beard not advisable with the glue adhesive. Depending on your make up skills you can make the mask look really awesome. There are 2 versions of Malgus as the Padawan before his injuries and of course the Battle of Alderan. Malgus 1438 is correct that silicon parts that are glued at certain parts of the face is easier to handle and less pressure on the head, the mask weighs a good 2 & half pounds that is extra on top of your face. For eliminating the sweating problem I used Silicon PVC Tubing that fit underneath the mask with air holes and 2 ventilators that goes underneath the armor around the belt area! Completely removing the sweat is impossible, within 15 minutes without the fans your ear holes of the mask will start dripping water out!. Trooping in the Summer with the mask is not advisable, im planning on a event this May of Power of the Force Con to see how it goes? You will need an assistant to watch over you while trooping with the complete gear on especially with the Mask (plenty of water with a straw, do not forget the straw). For Make Up you need to use Camo Make up that is water resistant preferably Black around the Eye areas. for the Mask Oil Based make Up that is removable later. There are ways to cheat the air flow bye making tiny holes in the latex silicon mask at the top of its head, but you can see the steam coming out especially if your in a cool area.... Other wise it´s all trial and error, big issue when wearing the Mask you will need to put a Fan within the Respirator that you can wear as optional. I would advise while wearing the respirator built a fan in the mouth area so you receive enough oxygen and do not pass out. Hope this helps!
