Except if I could look like Lasse Matberg.
Lasse Matberg is a Norwegian naval officer and he is the physical embodiment of the character "Thor" from the Marvel universe.
Of all the realistic masks that have been made, there hadn't been one in existence that looked close enough to him to actually plunk down the money for the mask and the hairing to create this look.
Until Yves Gravelle came out with his "Clark" mask.
I've purchased several masks from Metamorphose already - his Superhero and his Soul Man - all are well-made, beautifully painted and finished, with excellent eye and lip fitment. I didn't expect any less with this one, and I was not disappointed. Yves is really stepping up his game for his masks and each one is improving on the last.
The "Clark" mask is a bit lighter than his earlier masks, but still has a comfortable heft to it. It's also a bit snugger on my face and neck, which I appreciate - the worst thing in wearing a realistic mask is having the neck wrinkle if you turn your head.
One item that is a new innovation is his nose bridge. I've been involved for a long time with silicone masks, going back to when Rusty Slusser first made his "Thug". And I was also working with Rusty when he came out with his nose bridge as well. His initial concept was far more flexible and customizable than the thermoplastic he eventually included in his masks, but his implementation was not well-suited for the long-term.
THIS bridge design is one of the top-of-the-line. It is comfortable and infinitely adjustable and allows the perfect drape of the silicone across your nose to keep the lower eyeholes tight to your face. By either pressing or pinching it, the mask will conform to your own individual nose shape.
Yves also did the hairing on the mask and as usual, he did an amazing job as well. I love this mask and it's one of the most realistic masks I own.
And I've done a video review of the mask as well...
