    I am doing a Sith version of Plo Koon's species for halloween, and I wanted to know if anyone has the deluxe Plo Koon mask. It looks awesome, but at 40 something dollars, is the quality and realism there? Is it really thin and flimsy? I take it that breath screen is part of the mask, in latex, too. Anyone have this mask?

    Yes I do! :) And I love it. Coolest Star Wars mask ever. It's great. It looks just as good as it does in the pictures you've seen. It's no more flimsy as any other latex mask. It sat kinda low on my head, so I cut a few squares of foam padding and put it in the top of the mask so I could see out the eyes. But other than that, it's great. But make sure you've got some sort of collar on the shirt, cuz the mask ends about an inch below the chin. Also, the eyes are covered in a mesh fabric, so you can see your eyes behind the mask. I just wore a pair of sunglasses underneath and it was perfect. Actually, here's a shot of me wearing it:

    Oh, and yes, the breath mask is made of latex like the rest, except for the 2 pointed parts at the bottom, which are made of a hard plastic, which is good. Does that help?

    Beware. I bought a Koon mask, and what came in the mail was not what was in the picture. I got a pink koon with no eye mesh.
    To make matters worse, I cannot breathe in the thing to save my life, literally. I will have to cut some snorkle holes in it like Imperial guards usually do.

    When you buy it, email the seller first to ensure that the picture shown is accurate.

    Thanks for the tips, guys! I can't wait to finish it and post a photo.

    I work at a leather factory, so I'm going to get some hard shiny black leather (the kind they make dress shoes out of. Should make some cool armor.
