Its the no eyes thing... The face doesn't look enough like the Swan for me, the lips are wrong and the eyes too small.(I'm referring to the first mask.)

These are not for sale, but Jason has them on his BOTP site. These are from France.

At least none of these have cut out mouth holes. I remember at least one cut tongue due to a cheap Ben Cooper mask.

Hey, in the Ryu one someone decided he was allowed to smile.
That seems to be unusual for him, most shots/pictures have him pulling one silly face or another.
That first first mask looks wrong, I am not sure why though. I like the other two you found TJ.

Reminds me of the old plastic halloween masks from the 70's.

LOL- SCARY! That last Jun mask may give me nightmares tonight...it reminds me of a chameleon the way the eyes are looking in opposite directions at once!

The first one to me looks like they found a Superman mask and just stuck the G1 helmet on it.

I could see the Goons dress up party.... five idiots decide to buy to masks and turn up as the Science Ninja Team...

Seriously..... I kinda figure that making something like a mask is difficult to get right so it isn't something out of a late night horror movie, but..... shiver... So wrong, these are just so totally wrong!!!

Ryu's face looks like a gnome that belongs in the bottom of a garden, one of those one's that have a fishing pole by a pond (oh 
BOTP cherib garden gnomes...mmm...sigh..to many idears not enough time)
Kens eyebrows need man-scaping

Yeah, those skinny eyebrows especially are utterly un-G1!
The masks from France are comparatively more on-model, though the Swan looks like she's just been startled.
Why no G2 masks, I wonder. Fear of Condor wrath and retaliation on the part of the manufacturers if they didn't get his appearance just right?
Posted by Transmute Jun on 14-04-2011 at 13:15:
Given that they made a Tiny (Or would that be Alumette?) mask for France, I'm guessing there were Keyop/Kip and Jason/Thierry ones too, but that Jason simply doesn't have pictures on his site. Can you confirm or deny this, Jason?
I never thought of the Tiny one looking like a garden gnome... scary! Hey... do you think they made a Chief Anderson garden gnome, with the long grey beard (from G-Force in the Future) and the pointy red hat?

Did you see the "Gnomeo and Juliet" movie that came out a few months back, that's what Ryu reminds me off, though I don't know what side of the garden fence he would be one,,,,loved that movie it was sweet,
except for the David Hasselhoff Cameo
now I have gnomes on the brain...so many projects not enough hands...Anderson Gnome on one side of the fence, kaz and goon gnomes on the other..could be an interesting project

I don't need that. I got a more authentic Ken costume.

Are you going to be wearing your costume anytime soon, Allen? Any Cons planned?

Those are scary, but they do have the look of the ones we had when I was a kid and yes, Jason, I remember cutting myself on those things, too, although never on the tongue.

I don't think I ever cut myself, but I couldn't breathe in them. I'm not sure if it was the masks or my asthma, but usually ended up wearing them on the top of my head instead of on my face.
