New metal Bionicle mask.

[Droconis]

I saw this on eBay and I remember my uncle telling me a rumor that before the 14 karat gold masks were made they tested the casts with silver or pewter. To make sure the masks would fit on the head without scratching the official headpiece.

Note: whoever this guy is on eBay. I’m pretty sure they owe one of the metal casts. Even though Lego said that they “destroy their casts” I’ve Heard of people not only finding them but restoring them to full function so they can create their own things. I think this guy is one of them mask does work on official heads. Also mask is not magnetic.

Here it is Right next to a regular skull Spider mask. You’ll see not only that there are no official stamps for the circular bits on the regular one are not on the metal one that clip the mask into the head.

And yes official Lego pieces on the side clips do work on it with no stress and nothing hindering anything. I can’t wait to use this for my next moc. Hope you all enjoy

That’s a super cool find! It looks awesome, I always love shiny parts (whether it be chrome paint or actual metal). Looking forward to your MOC with this!

I didn’t know if It would still count as this topic being the custom mask that is is.

Given the discussion around the mold it seemed to fit the content more accurately than LEGO creations as this isn’t a LEGO creation, but simply one metal piece either produced by LEGO themselves or custom made by someone else. The only other category this would fit best in, if confirmed to be a custom made object, is artwork, but given that artwork is for content made by the topic creator, it didn’t seem to fit there either.

Wow, great find!
Is it safe to ask how much this went for on ebay?

[Droconis]

Got it for $40
