Yes, I have decided that if you hate everybody then nobody can accuse you of being anything-ist

Thanks Chris!

I've got half a dozen orders now, and the first shipment should be here in the second week of January.

Until I get a feel for which designs are the most popular I don't plan to hold much stock, but there's time for anyone else to get their order added to this delivery.

John

Actually the model name for the carbon-fibre lookalike version is indeed the "Hannibal"!

Cool, that's the one I want

My only concern is what might happen if (when) I charge towards a Royal Navy warship in a high speed boat wearing a mask that makes me look like Darth Vader, they might well percieve it as a threat

Hi JK,

Can I still get in on the first order ?

If so, I'd like a Hannibal please.

The Infernos are on back order, but everyone else who has sent me an order will get their mask in the next week or two.

How ridiculous would a Hannibal look on a Medline?

I think they will all look ridiculous on anything apart from an X-wing or a Tie Fighter but I ask myself the question, would I rather look silly and be warm, or look cool and actually be fkn freezing? A bit like driving off-road, would I rather wear wellies or a pair of £200 white trainers (not that I own such a thing) - no contest!

Quite like them, just not sure yet.

No. To start with I'll have a batch sent over whenever I get a dozen or so orders. If it all goes well then I plan to keep some of the more popular designs in stock too.
