I ordered this mask to use as a Halloween costume. The mask looks exactly like it does in the picture and how it should. It is fairly thin plastic and was slightly uncomfortable to wear because it moved with your face. This problem was solved by cutting some small pieces of styrofoam and gluing it on the inside of the mask so that the mask itself wasn't touching my face. It game me some room to move my mouth and eyelashes without moving the mask itself. Now I can talk to someone while wearing the mask and not having it move. The same creepy way that V does in the movie. The paint job on the mask is great but it can be scratched easily. If you take care of the mask and do a little "rigging" it can be a great costume!
