This is the final post in the mask collection retrospective series, covering 2023 to date. While we're only three months into the year, I've had the opportunity to acquire some amazing masks already, so there's enough for an entry.
I'll be highlighting two Komander masks and a Flamita / Oni el Bendito fusion mask.
All posts in this series can be found under the "mask retrospective" tag.
We're now into 2021 for this series. For context, COVID was still a major issue, but with vaccine availability, I felt comfortable enough to try attending a couple of shows live in the second half of the year.
For previous entries, see 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020.
The masks that I'll highlight from 2021 will be:
We've now arrived at the year 2020. As you all know, COVID hit most of the western world by March, shutting down practically everything. Even so, I was able to buy some pretty cool masks: For previous entries in this series, see 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
Apologies for the slight delay in posting this; I've had a busy week. In any event, my retrospective continues into 2017. Previous entries in the series are here:: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016.
For 2017, I'm highlighting two masks from Flamita and one from Draztick Boy (who now also wrestles under the name El Mago).
The retrospective series continues into 2016. From this point on, you'll see me generally focus on depth more than breadth. This means that I'll be highlighting fewer different luchadors, but (at least in my opinion) the stories will become more interesting. So here we go.
Previous entries in the series can be found here: 2013, 2014, 2015.
For 2016, the three masks I'll be showing are:
I'm continuing my collection retrospective, this time moving forward into 2014. (Here's my previous post for 2013). This was a special year for me; it was the first time that I actually got to go to Mexico City, which, among many other things, meant more opportunities to buy masks.
The three masks that I'll be highlighting for 2014 are:
