2000 Don Post Studios Catalog


The 2000 Don Post catalog was rather robust at over 30 pages. This is due in large part to it doubling as the 2000 Great Cover-Up catalog. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of the design of the catalog, although, I do appreciate the large mask photos and the page real estate devoted to the mask photography

Overall, the 2000 catalog is a fun browse with some hidden gems lurking within it's pages. A few personal faves include Dr. Cyber, Dark Pawn, and Puzzled...



The incredible character designer Steve Wang sculpted several masks for Don Post Studios in 2000, and his mark is all over this catalog...



Wang's work included some nice homages to the mid 70's DPS lineups. The Malonian Alien, named after the sculptor of the original 905 Alien mask, Bill Malone...

"Frankenstein 2001" was rehashed, and re-sculpted as "Frankenstein Futura"...

...and "Insecto" is a wonderful modern take on the Fly mask...


Now on to the catalog pages...
