Blood Moon ANI-Motion Mask

The mask looks really nice, but it's flimsy. It arrived with a tear that will need to be repaired. The mask is made out of a foam-like/sponge-like material. The fur falls easily too. Overall, it looks like this mask won't last very long. I bought it for about $15. At that price I can't complain much. Some places sell this for about $40-60. It's not worth that much. I'd say $20 maximum due it being so fragile.

Paid: $18.50 on Amazon.Overall opinion: Great mask straight out of the box if you pay $15-$30 for it. (Based on comparative wolf masks on the market in 2017).Cons:Mine sheds (a common complaint with these masks) I look like I got up close and personal with a shedding husky or long haired grey cat.I'm not sure if the jaw fur is supposed to be connected or not, but mine isn't. It flaps open at the bottom.Photo is a bit deceptive. The fur barely touches my shoulders and doesn't go down as far as the model. (I'm an average sized adult female).Some of the fur is cheap around the face and needs a few drops of hot or super glue to reattach.Prone to tear at the corner of the mouth if you're not careful. Mine didn't arrive damaged (another common complaint) but I it's easy to see how it happens.Pads will need to be glued in with Gorilla Glue, Superglue or something you provide. They don't stick very well.Neutral:Mouth is stiff. With strategic padding, it will work.Skin around mouth and eyes shows. This can be easily fixed with some cheap black face paint or see below.Pros:Fun action on the lip and opening mouth.Good visibility. If you're used to latex masks, you're probably also used to being half blind. I can see out of this almost normally.More ventilation than your average rubber mask. It's easier to breath and has open space inside of it.As one reviewer mentioned the "flesh" is foam. This actually pads it out like muscles in the face so that's a plus for me.My biggest pro - the shell underneath the "skin" is plastic. You'll need to be careful of the "skin" and keep it away from sharp objects. It may also split, but the shell is durable. I bought 2 of these so I could customize and play around with it.This model has the jaw fur (not all their werewolf masks do.) If your lip corners do split, it will be easier to hide that because the fur goes closer to the mouth.Bonus for people who wear glasses and can't wear/afford contacts:I've worn glasses most of my life so I'm used to this particular challenge.To make this mask work with glasses, I bought a cheap set of chemistry anti splash goggles. Anything which will cover your glasses and keep the mask from pressing against your face should work - bike goggles, motorcycle goggles, carpentry goggles etc. Make sure they fit as close to the face as possible but cover your glasses. Strap those on and put the mask on over them. A YouTuber also used the plastic cowl portion from another mask.Yes, your glasses are going to fog up if you're in a warm/humid area. If you're like me, you're probably used to this. The goggles may also show a little bit around the edges depending on the size and style.How to make the mask from great to amazing:Purchase a few things.Cheap biker/motorcycle balaclava. (About $2.00 here on Amazon.)Cheap black face paint (about $1.00 at my local convenience store.)Bottle of Super Glue (or hot glue if you already have a gun)Black acrylic paint (the cheap craft style will work.)Optional needle and thread.Super/hot glue anything loose back to the mask for perfection. I stitched my chin fur to the rest of the mask with a needle and thread but glue will work in a pinch.Superglue will repair any rips in the foam "skin" as well.Wear you lightweight balaclava underneath to keep your mouth from showing.Paint the white pads the mask comes with black if they show.Put black makeup around your eyes.Alternate eye option:Buy some cheap black mesh screen for doors. Attach some squares inside the mask with glue. If you don't like make up and want a permanent solution, this works.Crazy Artist options:Use black mesh around the eyes with Taxidermy eyes or eyes you create for a complete illusion. I recycled some from my old werewolf mask that's falling apart.Clip down the teeth.Cover with foil.Make a new set of even more terrifying fangs with Sculpy, high grade air dry clay, or Instamorph (all available here.)Sculpt new "gums" with a thin layer of Sculpy over your foil.Remove carefully from mask.Bake as directed.Glue in new teethPaint with favorite paints.Flick some red on them to look like blood if you feel like it.Seal.Be even more horrifying.Add more fur to your neck, chest, and shoulders. (Goes well with a cheap flannel shirt.) The grey fur on the mask is easy to match.Remove everything from the mask. Make it a new species or build your own wolf using the plastic the plastic shell. Go nuts.

Nice

Great mask, plastic inner of the mask should be lined to avoid sticking to the face as an improvement.
