Hey John, just came across this thread. THANK YOU for sharing! I came across several of these masks when the factory closed and have had trouble identifying them until now. They are all primarily from the 2012 Unreleased Collection.

In reply to kevin.

Halloween Asylum said in a Facebook post that there were 24 copies of the Pumpkinhead mask and hands, so there’s more than 15. I would recommend charging $300 at the max. IF I could spend my money that way, that’s what I’d pay. If Don Post had went into mass production on these, I would have still bought one because it’s Pumpkinhead, and I love Pumpkinhead. Here’s a link to the FB post: https://www.facebook.com/HalloweenAsylum/posts/441899692532031

It truly is a shame. The one year we were going to get a good Pumpkinhead mask, and possibly the best year they could have chosen, Gemmy had to come and screw it up by buying out Don Post. I’m not a Don Post collector, just a HUGE fan of the original Pumpkinhead movie. The Distortions, Morris Costumes, and Jon Fuller Pumpkinhead masks are all ugly as heck with horribly inaccurate paint jobs, and I’d never buy any of them. Don Post was the only company that got it right. BTW I’m never buying from Gemmy again.

I have a Don Post mask I love it but the material is deteriorating. How do I save it? Now that I have just learned Don Post is no longer. And what’s the best way to preserve my other masks?

I wonder how much a collector would pay for the pumpkinhead set. I have one. Don post only made like 15 sets ever.

In reply to Thomas Raven. Yea that seems to be the general consensus on the Halloween 3 re-issues. Damn shame that they went out on such a low note.

Luckily Trick or Treat Studios now owns the rights to H3 mask set. As well as all the other HALLOWEEN movies.

I don’t know about the witch and pumpkin, but I bought a DP 2012 skull and it was terrible. While it was actually made of vinyl, the material was so thin that you could easily see light through it. The surface texture was nice but the glow was practically nonexistent. The size of the mask was the biggest issue. I couldn’t even wear it. I had one of the originals (purchased before H3) and know very well how big they were. Better to let the DP name die than to continue with such shoddy product.
