When they say it's 1:1 scale, it actually is 1:1 scale. It's a big mask, heavy and nicely crafted, with lots of attention tl the details on the paint and sculpt. It's exactly like in the pages of the manga or the frames of the anime. It could even be considered a prop, given how well it's made. The inscriptions inside the mask are an interesting touch. Looks amazing and definitely a conversation starter.
