Bane Kids Mask

So first off I'll begin by saying I'm not a child ( at least not in age) and was very pleased with the film adaptation of Bane in The Dark Knight Rises. Being as the film just came out there are very few costumes and items available which is to be expected until it gets closer to Halloween time. I looked at the other mask which is for adults and began reading the reviews which were mostly good but many of them said while the quality of the mask was fair for the asking price it had one major flaw which was the size. Many of the users said that unless you had a bigger head the mask was kind of loose and didn't fit right. Being as I wear a size 7 hat I decided to take my chances with the child mask in hopes to avoid this. I ordered on Saturday and got it today (Monday) which I was really please about. I was nervous about opening it thinking maybe that I had wasted 25 dollars on a mask which was way too small. I was pleasantly surprised to find the mask fit perfectly. It does however differ from the picture which is displayed. The two slits on the side are not cut out like depicted but can be easily modified if it really bothered you that much. The mask is made of rubber, not plastic and is very flexible, which is great in case you maybe misjudged the size of your head. Lastly it has no chin strap which I was glad to see. For 25 dollars it was a pretty good deal as opposed to paying 5 dollars less for the adult mask and have it be way too big and have to butcher it in hopes of a tighter fit. If you dig the way Bane looks in the movie and want a pretty cool mask for a good price but aren't as jacked as Tom Hardy then drop the cash on this mask. You won't be disappointed!

I ordered this mask (opposed to the full sized adult one) because I have a smaller head for a guy: hat size 7 1/8. Also this one was Prime Eligible so I got the free two-day shipping. Anyway, the mask fits great and looks awesome, but as the title says it's not exactly the same as the one in the picture. The differences I noticed were the piece above the upper pipes around the nose is painted gold (not silver like in the picture, but it doesn't look bad because it still matches the color scheme), the holes on the sides of the front mouth thing are not cut out (well, now they are thanks to a razor knife), and there is space cut out between the mouth/nose pipes that does not appear to be shown (but I can breathe easier, so no complaints). Overall, I'd definitely recommend this mask, just know what you're in store for as far as the differences go.

The mask is awesome. The child mask will fit most adult heads. I'm a big 26 year old male and the mask fit me just fine. A little tight, but it supposed to be if you want to replicate the look from the movie. It doesn't come with the two slits next to the mouth but that can be easily cut out with a box cutter.
