![]() ![]() I believe that to be a little excessive, but it is most certainly not for young children. It also comes with a safety warning, saying it is not for people under 14 years of age. The underside of the base is one surface, thus prone to scratching, so don't move it around if you can help it. ![]() The base, plastic as well, is painted black and moulded to resemble wood, complementing the mask's organic-looking components very well. Also, the advertisement's picture made the stand look semi-transparent, but it is a solid grey-silver. It also means the mask is looking slightly downwards, good for when at a distance or on a high shelf, but makes close-up viewing a little awkward. The stand itself seems to have a fairly weak connection to the mask and the base, the result being that simply typing these words makes the mask vibrate slightly, reminiscent of a bobble head. It is also slightly creased, further adding to the realism. The red lining is made from a flexible material of some kind, and is slightly darkened around the nose area, as would be expected from all of Corvo's heavy breathing while fighting tallboys. They've spared no detail, showing an intricacy of (unfortunately immobile) hinges and connections. Looking at the back of the mask is even more of an adventure than the front was. In regards to that, it's probably a good thing that it's a little too small to fit on my face, but it might fit on a smaller person's face, so make sure you keep it out of reach of those who might not be cautious enough with it. ![]() However, some of the finer details at the front seem fragile, marking this mask out as a collection item, not a toy. What appeared at first to be a bit of dodgy colouring has now revealed itself to be oxidation of the copper in the mask, a nice touch when the model itself is made from plastic. Similar to the original mask, but with the new jagged surface instead of the smooth skull we had before, I'm already falling in love with the new mask, a design change I was previously apprehensive about. ![]() Standing 34.6 cm tall when fully assembled (an easy task to do thanks to the included instructions), it goes to show just how much detail has been put into the design of things in the game. Just as terrifying as Corvo's Mask is in Dishonored, this has got to be the main motivation behind my purchase of this pack, as opposed to just buying the game. ![]()
