Lundqvist Replica Mask

I mean, I know full-sized masks like the ones these guys wear cost a minimum of $600, so I'd imagine replicas (if they even exist) would be damn similar.

 

Odd that they don't find a way to replicate them though. You figured that'd be a big market, even if it's not the carbon fiber, but plasic, for example.

The artists may have a patten on them. They get paid A LOT of money for their work and I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to protect it. What goalie kid wouldn't buy a Lundqvist, Brodeur, etc ... mask? I'm glad they don't make them.

Well, that's why I'm saying go the replica route. Make it completely out of plastic. Totally not game-quality. Even the bars should be plastic, you know? Just give it the look of the mask.

The design is what they may have a patten on, not the quality of helmet they put it on. But I guess if I was them, why not allow a company to replicate it and make some more money?

YOu can buy a cheap helmet and find someone to paint it for you, a buddy of my did that for Beezer's helmet that had the big bees on it. But it wasn't cheap.

 

The cheapest quote I got was $400 and that wasn't for anything remotely like the designs you see on the masks in the NHL, and $400 was a "favor".
