Ree Yees
This is a hand made Latex mask based on the character Ree Yees as seen in Jabba the Huts palace in Return of the Jedi. This item was sculpted, molded and painted by myself. I sculpted this with attention to the original but a few creative liberties were taken.
This mask is based on the character from Return of the Jedi and not the Grans from the prequel movies. The hands are the classic style and not the six finger versions as they were for some strange reason in those films.
Just like the original mask in ROTJ, the wearer does not see out of the three eyes (obviously) but there are small slits hidden discretely in the folds under the eyes so vision is obscured a little but unlike the one in the movie, the wearer can see enough to get around. Also, there is half inch foam lining the inside top of the mask for comfort and structure but also to align the eyes behind the eye slits.
There is a slit up the back to aide in putting on the mask, and there is a fairly large hole in the mouth to breath through. Additional holes can be cut into the mask with a pair of scissors for better visibility or ventilation in places like the nostrils or the ears for example, and the edges of the newly exposed latex can be touched up with generic acrylic paint or even an appropriately colored sharpie.
As in all of the masks I make, this mask is thick enough so that it represents well the shape of the original sculpture unlike most poorly made masks. The paint on the mask and hands is preserved with a clear coat of flexible urethane which also gives it a bit of a wet look and will preserve the paint for years to come.
Thanks for looking!
