The Mt Fuju mask is great. If surgical masks were worn here in the US (they never are in public) then I would definitely get one

To the guy who said masks are never worn in the us. Stop going to bs doctors and you will probably see alot of people wearing masks. Quit letting america look bad just because your cheap ass doesnt go to good doctors.

Skull Masks: Because the only thing better than protecting yourself from a deadly disease is reminding others of their own mortality while you do it!

timothy: that’s not true. i sometimes see people wearing surgical masks here in NY. especially after this swine flu hoop-la.
[]
“The mask of Beauty” my butt. The shape of the face looks like the top of a bowling ball pin, it’s the ugliest one up there. The overall concept of these masks is a good idea though and i do enjoy the skull one.
[]
Unfortunately these are just illustrations so far so they’re not avaible anywhere.
Some surgical mask manufactorer might start making these soon though. Seems something that could come semi-popular.

Perfect masks for KLOPes´s woman :=))

LMAO… As much Ironic as it is, Its True… Well If it’s Gonna be an Epidemic, Let’s Hit that Damn Thing in Style.

Hi, how can I get this mask? I’m from Indonesia
[]
I can’t wait to see someone out wearing one of these…
[]
great masks where do they sell these?
[]
Wow, the octopus one? What is with the Japanese constantly invoking Cthulhu? Why must they persistently risk the awakening of the sleeping Great Old One? Seriously, I value my sanity.
[]
Those are awesome! I think the skeleton one should be changed to the skeleton of a pig snout, though, to keep in the theme of the swine flu.

Cool Idea, Why not?

Yoshida,
My daughter (10) is having severe asthma difficulty with respect to earth science class at school. Apparently there is mold in the soil and she has an immediate asthma attack when she enters the room, much less touches the soil. She is now wearing a surgical mask and latex gloves before entering the room and this seems to be working. However, needless to say, the masks available are “boring”. Saw your creations on-line and was wondering if these were yet available for sale? As you can imagine, other 10 year-old kids are not very forgiving and tend to make fun of her with her gear on. The good news is that she has picked up the nickname “Dr. Samm”. Thanks.
