THE LEGEND
Stanley Ipkiss is a timid bank clerk in Edge City, the kind of man who lets everyone walk over him and apologises to them afterwards. Then he finds an old wooden mask, puts it on, and everything he has kept bottled up comes out at once: a green face, a grin far too wide for any human jaw, a yellow suit and a hat to match.
The Mask obeys none of the rules Stanley lives by, physics included. He stretches and snaps like a cartoon, pulls whatever he needs out of nowhere, and treats every threat as the setup for a gag. That kind of power attracts trouble. Gangster Dorian Tyrell wants it for himself, and the singer Tina Carlyle catches Stanley's eye with or without the green face. Through all of it his most reliable ally is Milo, his small and very brave dog. The mask itself is tied to Loki, the Norse god of mischief, which explains a great deal about its sense of humour.
OFF THE PAGE
The Mask began in comics. Dark Horse founder Mike Richardson devised the concept in 1982, the character first appeared in Dark Horse Presents in 1987, and John Arcudi and Doug Mahnke's 1991 limited series made it a hit. Those comics were dark and violent, with a sadistic wearer nicknamed Big Head.
The 1994 film from New Line Cinema, directed by Chuck Russell, kept the mask and dropped the cruelty. Jim Carrey played Stanley and his alter ego, with Cameron Diaz as Tina, and Industrial Light & Magic turned Carrey's rubber-limbed physical comedy into living animation. Made on a modest budget, it took more than 350 million dollars worldwide and earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects. An animated series followed from 1995 to 1997, and a stand-alone sequel, Son of the Mask, arrived in 2005 without Carrey. For most people the green face and the yellow suit are the Mask, and that is the look collectors want on the shelf.
IN SIXTH SCALE
The Mask is a gift to sixth scale makers: a likeness, a loud suit and a box full of gags. Present Toys has made him twice from the 1994 film. One version comes with a hammer and bags and stacks of cash; the other goes for Carrey's grin with a cigar, a pair of cap guns, gag flags, a second head and the wooden mask itself, so Stanley can be shown before and after.
Dark Toys took the deluxe route with a 2.0 version of an earlier release: two heads, two feathered hats, the long jacket, a sledgehammer, a horn, an alarm clock, cash bags, Milo wearing his own green mask, and a plain Milo as a pre-order gift. Before both, Asmus Toys produced a Mask in 2016 that also brought Milo along.
Collectors judge these figures on the grin first, since a green face that is merely smiling looks wrong next to the film, and on the colour of the suit second. Milo is close to compulsory. Find the rest of the film's world on The Mask shelf and the wider Movies & TV collection.
