I guess you don’t want to wake up with The King then?
Oh HELL no.
Hey, do you know where I can buy one of these masks? Would love to knock on our friends hotel door one morning while we’re on vacation!!!
I NEED TO GET ME ONE OF THOSE MASKS.. i dont care how creepy you guys think the king is but i think bk is the only fast food company that has the balls to have him as a spokesperson.. who says absolutely nothing.. further more when supersize me came out .. McDonalds got rid of supersizes .. bk introduced the angus diet.. come on now.. thats fucking BALLS lol i just need this mask!!
Even though the Burger King creeps me out too – I think it would be hilarious to get this mask and just show up at people’s doors and windows! I would totally do that! Where can we get the mask???!!!
Don’t tell Lisa where to find the mask. She will just terrorize me and my girlfriend with it every chance she gets. I’m Choppy. She’s Ponts.
Nobody listen to Choppy! This is a man whose pants are constantly on fire! The sole reason for his denial is that he is jealous of me! He wishes he could be me and hates the fact that I could potentially get The Mask before him and scare the fire right out of his pants! Besides, I think he is secretly in love with The Burger King.
My pants may be on fire, but Lisa’s pants are stirrup pants. You be the judge. Remember the Alamo.
Speaking of pants, it looks like someone took Saddam’s, and now he’s just wearing undies. Now it might be a little bit easier to see his weapon of mass destruction.
They’re bringing back the ad with the Negro cowboy and his white ho’s. That even worse.
That mask is creepyscarryfreaky! I want to dress up like "The King" on Halloween holding up a Whopper where ever I go. Looking on Internet for one but haven’t had any luck so far.. Might have to make my own!
I need a Burger King mask…anyone know how I can get one!?!?!?!
please if anyone finds out, let me know where to get one of those masks!!!!
I NEED A BK KING Mask too! I called all local Costume stores, all with the same answer: CAll Burger King to find out how to get one.. BAH!! Too much work!! Wake Up With The King!! And run in that touchdown and do the Deion Sanders Dance after you score!!
ANYBODY ANYBODY…. PLEASE!!!! TELL ME WHERE TO GET THAT SILLY ASS MASK!!! LOL IT IS TOO FUNNY AD I WOULD LOVE TO SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF MY FRIEND WITH IT WHILE HOLDING A BURGER KING BAG!!! TOO FUNNY
If ANYONE finds a place to buy one of these masks.. PLS PLS email me!! I want one for halloween too!!!
Mee too!!!! I need the mask. the comercial freaks my boss out. His wife is a good sport. She’ll go along with it.
Hey guys,
Good news, I have bought 5 BK masks directly from the BK manufacturer of toys. I will sell each one for $100. If anyone is interested, let me know.
are these the masks from the NFL commercials???? if so how did u get them to sell them to you.
He’s playing mind games with you. If the BK masks are driving you guys this mad, I don’t see why BK would sell them to anyone yet.
I’m waiting for Halloween…it may pop up.
Brian, I would buy one of them. I called BK and they told me they didn’t make them. How can I get this mask???
That dude is full of it. I called the corporate offices. This was what the said: If they would have known that they would be getting BOMBARDED with CALLS about that mask, they would have had it ready for Halloween. They DO NOT have any, and they use it for Promotional use ONLY. SO Brian, take your lies and scams somewhere else. You can’t get ONE, let along 5 you liar!
Brian is a douche. His email address is bogus, and he has been caught in this BOLDFACED LIE. NO BK MASKS THIS HALLOWEEN, thats from the mouth of corporate Burger King.
Good news everyone. I’m presently working on recreating the Burger King mask. I’m going to make a mold of it and will try to make as many as possible to sell on eBay. They’ll be made out of plastic and will have an open back. And just so I don’t get sued by BK, the logo will be a sticker I’m including with the auction that people can put on themselves! Email me for updates: jhbmw007@yahoo.com
I’ll be posting pictures of the progress. Here’s the first "pre-mold" of the king’s face:
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/jhbmw007/king_face_mold.JPG
Dude, keep it coming! I want that mask!
Ok, I just got word that there is only one actual BK king mask and it is copyrighted, and not available to the public. Hopefully I won’t get a cease and desist from BK when I start selling them on eBay! It would be a bit ironic considering BK ripped off Slipknot in their chicken fries commercial. I think Slipknot sued or threatened to sue BK over that…lol!
hey i will buy ur mask on the spot! hit me up when they are done asap!
I need one too! Let me know when you start selling them!
john,
how much and when do you think they will be done?
Count me in for one – do I just keep looking on e-bay for it?
Just let us all know when its done! That picture is HILARIOUS(OF THE MASK MOLD)! Keep it up!
Im so in for a mask too. If someone get one made we want it.
I will pay $100 for a king mask. Please let me know what the deal is.
I WANT THAT MASK!!!
Update: Well, 50+ emails so far from people wanting to buy the mask. I just checked UPS and my materials will be arriving on Oct. 6th, so by the following weekend I should have some up on eBay. I won’t be asking more than $100 for them although I’m sure some people would be willing to pay more… Anyways, no more pics of the mask yet but here’s the bling!:
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/jhbmw007/bk_bling.JPG
Sign me up for one of the masks. The King is my new favorite TV character.
I want a mask too. My hubby thinks he is so creepy so I want to put it on and sit next to him in bed when he wakes up. I think I would pee my pants.
I am definately in for a mask! I woke up yesterday and walked up behind my room-mate in the kitchen. He didn’t hear me and when he turned arround he pissed himself! He said that if I had been dressed as the BK, that would have been it! Major CPR time. I so want to make his wish come true…
I WILL PAY ANYTHING FOR THAT MASK. PLEASE POST WHEN THEY WILL BE ALMOST COMPLETE.
you are going to make a load of money off those masks. my boyfriend wants one for halloween i told him i’d check it out for him and it would be a great suprise if i could make it happen so i hope you get them all done in time good luck!
brian i want a mask!!!!!!!!!!!!!! post when they’ll be ready and how to buy one! hope you finish in time and make tons of money, good luck!!!
I would love to buy one of the masks when you get them finished. My husband and I want to be Burger King and Wendy for halloween, he is going to try a paper mache (sp?) version, but yours looks like it is coming along much better! Please keep us all updated !!!
I’m definitely interested in the king mask, but its gotta look authentic or it won’t be worth the trouble. Anyone had luck finding a suitable cape and tunic? The ones I saw on eBay are severely lacking. Any clue on what to call the collar the King is wearing… the puffy thing? There has to be a name for it.
For those that need a better look, here’s a link to the commercial: http://www.dhadm.com/mediaHolder.php?id=101
Try searching amazon.com for King Francois the First costume. It’s the closest I could find and they have the best price- my fiancee is a pretty good seamstress so she’s going to make some alterations to it to make it look more like the "king".
OMG! You people (especially John) are just FREAKS!
Thanks to everyone who have received masks. Kevin and Chrissi were two from this blog to receive masks. Some assholes thought it was bogus, but hey my dad owns Burger King. So I can get whatever I want whenever I want.
New picture of the "king" mold:
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/jhbmw007/king_face_mold2.JPG
P.S: Brian’s a douchebag. It’s kinda funny they got the masks from you even though they emailed me asking for one-!
if you got the masks for sale my aim is bigman8693@yahoo.com
The King rules! I gotta get one of those masks for this Halloween!!!!
VERY interested in buying a mask. Email me at Foltzie563@gmail.com.
Im in too. Ive been all over the f-ing net to find one.
That goes the same for me. email me if you get those masks bro.
syre127@yahoo.com
I’m in. I NEED This mask
MASK ME!
I need a mask for Halloween! Email me at donboy2@hotmail.com
Burger king mask??? AWESOME!!!!
anyone know where i can get one of those masks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! would be perfect for halloween
i hope they never make that damn mask, almost pee just thinking of it, scares hell out of me!!!!! lol lol
Mask Me TOO !!!
man did BK miss the boat, but I’m sure their marketing plan didnt expect him to turn out freakishly COOL!!! in the odd/weird kinda way… GREAT progress on the mask, keep us posted– you’ll make a mint dude if you can keep up the good work!! I’d say just focus on the mask and let everybody worry about their own outfit…. and I’d also be interested in buying one of your finished products!!!!
John,
The updated mask looks fantastic, particularly the hair and eyes. I am curious as to why you’ve got the crown on the mask… wouldn’t people want to wear the mask over their face and then wear a standard BK crown (free at any restaurant) on top, instead of having the crown be part of the mask? Since you’ve got the mold, I trust you’ve got this sorted out.
Also, I can confirm that Brian or whoever hasn’t sent me jack, so don’t listen to him. Thanks also for the amazon.com advice… spot on as far as being the best overall king costume I’ve seen online.
I’d definitely like to get one of the masks. I have so many good ideas to do with this costume. John, the mold you created looks great! Definitely let us know when they’re available. Thanks!
I can only imagine the choas i could bring to so many people with one of those masks!!!
MASK ME!
Let me know when that mask is ready! I can’t wait to have one
soccermn21@hotmail.com
I want a mask too, very bad, please e-mail me with info when all done.
I’ve searched the ‘net high and lo for the King mask and this seems to be the hotbed!!
John I am soooooo in!
I’ll be emailing you!
The masks are coming. I found one on e-bay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6566163986
Carl, that one on ebay is tempting. Although I wish it wrapped around the side of the face a little more. I’d have a hard time paying $55 for it. Maybe John’s mold will do a better job.
Yo I’m VERY interested on the mask. Tell when they’re for sale, how much they are and I’m in.
my email is cesarfishman@mac.com email me as soon as the mask is finished. Thanks
bullshit
Wow it looks like Burger King finally did make some- I wonder what corporate plans on doing with them… They do kinda look more like kid-sized ones and aren’t oversized (actually look under-sized) which is the main thing that makes the king creepy looking. The actual helium tank topper that BK copied the mask from is up on eBay as well- and skyrocketing in price. The seller says you can wear it as a mask but have you seen a helium tank? I don’t know who has a head that small.
My materials should arrive tommorrow and I’m going to take advantage of the 3 day weekend to make as many masks as possible! I’m fairly confident it will turn out better than those cheapy small ones but only time will tell… I can tell you my masks will be twice the size of that small one and will wrap around the side a little so your face won’t show as much. I won’t be getting in bed with a dude to take the picture though… eek!
where can i find the masks that bk is making. what is the web site and if i cant find those john i would love to buy one from you for halloween please email me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John, emailed you yesterday about getting one of your masks, please let me know if you got my email and if you are selling them on ebay through but it now or auction.
Yeah thats cool and all on ebay but 80 bucks is too much
email me at armjo1@gmail.com when one is finished.
John,
The mask is coming along great. If you can make enough of them before Halloween, you may just be able to retire!!!
The mask on EBAY is at $80 and the helium tank topper is aroung $300!!!
I don’t know who Brian is, but he did not send me a mask, wish he had though, jerk!
I am still VERY interested in purchasing the mask, keep us updated on your progress.
How many do you think you will be able to make?
John- agreed in full that the "oversize" nature of the mask in the tv commercials is a key part of its creepiness, and the fact that it wraps around on the side is key as well. If you’re looking for help marketing these things, I’m happy to assist… demand certainly seems to be quite high.
Oh, and the ones on eBay look cheap, and there’s no way they’re authentic.
can you pleezzz sell me the mask my friend wants to be it for halloween…
Whenever those masks are available CONTACT ME ASAP!…..I need this b4 Halloween
I love the king…I wish i could wake up with him..i want one to scare the shit out of my girlfriend she’ll kick the bucket if she wakes up next to that
EroC
keep your eyes on bk.com if you want a mask.
I would love to have a mask of the KANG.
The king is Cold whack fa schizzel!!!!!!! Their is one on ebay for sale but it is pretty banged up!! the mold you have so far is unbeleivable!! If anyone has a teen wolf costume for sale or knows where I can pick one up,please email me at bucs41@hotmail.com Thanks!!!
interesting comment the king. i sense the BK marketing team are going to be putting in a few extra hours before october 31…
Shit, for 80 bucks that mask better give me a hand job and a T Bone steak whenever I want. It’s cool to have a mask, but 80 bucks?? To hell with that, I will go as Hanzel and Gretel’s Butt Crust before I pay that!
YOu wear the Goddamn thing ONE NIGHT, and then tossed in the garbage! That’s 80 bones!!! TOO MUCH! 50 is the max!
There once was a man called THE KING, of Burgers and Fries, that’s his thing,
We all want a mask, is that too much to ask? YOU’re WALLETS ARE GOING CHA CHING!!
I love me some KING….and actually, I would love to see the prototype for the Hanzel and Gretel Butt Crust Thingy….John, start working on that one next!! 😛 And let me know when my "man’s" face is done…hook me up….hollybob_2000@yahoo.com
I can’t believe other people have the same halloween ideas I have! We are all thinking of the best fuckin halloween costume ever by the way- john email me ill buy a couple masks wilsonmat@uwstout.edu
Here in Lincoln our bars have a lot of halloween contests (free trip to Vegas…5 free kegs… $500…etc) and I think that the King Francois costume and John’s mask would just about get it for ya… Hey thats worth a free mask for me huh… good advertising for ya even though you dont really need it… $80 worth a free trip to Vegas for me… hell I’d pay $80 to win $150…. johnvigna@hotmail.com
John
Mask ME!!!! abouchard@tamu.edu
That mask is up around 160 now.
I live in Tallahassee, FL, a college party town, and all the magic & fun type stores have said that they contact burger king regularly, and they aren’t for sale.
I’m thinking the ebay seller is lying about delivering a shipment to BK, he just made 2 really good clones.
I need one though.
More than air.
KingOmari@gmail.com
I need a mask. My husband just came up with this idea and I got on line to see if I could get a mask. This is crazy. Who is the dumb guy who came up with th e marketing for this and didn’t think of the Halloween Marget. He is fired.
Please get me a mask. rkgardner@fmtcs.com
Well I think if you could buy the masks anywhere the commercials would start to loose their "effectiveness". Just like when the movie Scream came out, everyone wanted the scream mask. Now you can get them at the dollar store.
True, but thats a 10 year old movie, in 10 years the King, and HOOTIE will be gone!
I’m just saying this would have been the year to capitalize on it. Especially after the football commercial. Next year you will be able to get the masks. But those who can make one of find on this year will be as cool as the person who thought to be the cubs fan the year the fan caught that ball.
I have been watching this site for a couple days now and have been CRACKING up. My question is.. I understand the "carving" of the king but how the hell does the latex/plastic stuff work and how do you add color? Does anyone rec. any good mask making sites online. I don’t think I’m going to mass produce them but I’m def. going to make me one for Halloween this year.. I’m in Alaska and up here it would be VERY, VERY original. haha. Thanks. AM
Called BK corporate this morning. Said they are trying to get the KING mask made before Halloween. And to keep looking at the website, for availability. You guys are right, the marketing team should have seen this one coming. Any freaky masked dude who sits in your bed, stands outside your living room window, or appears in your rear view mirror offering you a meal in silense…..THAT is what Halloween Freakiness is made of!!! Marketing team, you are about 3 months late getting on this! Snooze ya loose. Good luck John, on your endevors to recreate the king. Just cover your tail and hope BK coorporate doesn’t sue your butt off for copyright infringement. Good luck to all you hopeful kings out there. I hope to see you prancing around on Halloween. And bring me a Crossanwich too.
john did your materials arrive yet? Im dying to know whats going on. p.s. did you get my email?
My materials have arrived! I’ve applied the molding "rubber" and it should be cured in 24 hrs. As soon as it’s workable, the mask making begins!
I’m not putting the logo on it, ya’ll can do that yourselves- BK can’t sue me for making a giant plastic king head- this is America!
John, keep us updated, I can’t wait to see the new pictures!!
So the corporate BK Fools are finally doing something about this KING HALLOWEEN FETISH everybody has! Give me more football King commercials!! Put the King in for the Steelers next time. Who could you put in to stop the King in a game of Foolsball? Ronald? Wendy? Maybe Grimace, because he’s a big boy and can punch in for you on 4th and short….other than that, I don’t know…Maybe if you brought back Dave Thomas and Colonel Sanders, but thats a long shot against the King.
email me once the mask is done, i want to buy a couple.
hemplif@aol.com
This thing is like the holy grail of masks. I have been looking for about 2 months now. And this blog is by far my only hope. Everyone thinks I am crazy for wanting one, but one way or another I will get it. Seems there are alot of us out there wanting it. Any word on how much you will be selling them for?
I would love a mask. can you e-mail me when they’re done!? rossma13@msu.edu
question, how do you plan on coloring in each mask? seems like a big task to do to each individually.
any update on what the current demand is, how many you think you can do each day, etc… basically curious if halloween is too close to expect one myself. you have made my halloween.
the more I think about it, the more I think you are better off selling the masks in both painted and unpainted models… this will allow you to get more product out there, and if those of us that want them bad enough get them early enough, we can buy paints and do the jobs ourselves. far be it for me to tell you how to run your already awesome business, but this seems like a good idea to me
I have no idea how many I’ll be able to make. I hope to get started tommorrow and the second finished mask (first is mine!) will go on eBay as a no reserve auction. The female mold is already starting to cure and so far looks like it will peel off easily from the male mold.
Each mask will be painted by a Burger King elf and then sprinkled with fairy dust 😉
By the way, I’ve only been saving people who have directly emailed me to my email list. I’ll also post on here when the auction goes up, but those who just gave me their email on this thread will not be added to my update list… My eBay name is jhbmw007 and I have a feedback score of 62 with 100% positive feedback. Any search of "BK mask" or "burger king mask/costume" on eBay should find my auction when it begins.
John,
Thanks for the update — I look forward to the eBay auctions, and hope you can hold a few for private direct sales to folks who have e-mailed you. In large part the market will be governed by how many masks you can produce, or so it seems to me.
add me to the list…dmitch86@gmail.com
So why is then that the Ebay auction says that this guy delivered them to BK Corporate? That means that they have them…but arent coming off of them. What gives there?
thanks for the update john… you are going to be a lot of people’s favorite person this october.
Question, so you made the bust, then an inverse mold, which you’ll fill with the liquid plastic which will harden and presumably lift right out, voila mask. Is that correct, and if so, how many inverse molds did you create? Just curious, not demanding, but I figured if you made two or three of them you could really increase your output, right? Thanks so much for doing this.
Well I only had enough to make one inverse mold. The working time for the liquid plastic is only like 60 seconds and then it starts to harden and can be pulled out in 5-10 minutes. It’s also a 2 person job (hence the need for the BK elves) so having extra inverse molds wouldn’t help. It’s really neat stuff- I made a small test piece from a candy mold and it cured so strong that I can’t even break it in half.
Wooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooo start cranking them things out. I hope you guys have like loads of coffee and no dose pills. If so, then you are going to be making some money. If it was me, I would take leave from my current job and be making the mask. If only I had the know how to be making them.. Ahhh…
I would love to get a King mask from you… Please add me to your email list… fkmich99@yahoo.com
Thanks and good luck!!
Ebay mask sold for $275 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:112&item=6566163986
Please include me in on the BK masks. lqueen@republicbk.com
First mask was a dud- I made it too thin and it cracked. The second mask came out better, but still a bit thin on the edges. Looks like I’m going to have to use 4 cups of liquid plastic per mask- which means my current supply will only make about 6-7 masks. Good news is I found a place 20 minutes from me that sells the stuff. I’m going to go there today and get a stockpile of it.
I don’t think I can take off from work but I do have a 3 day weekend and it looks like it’s going to rain anyways- my apartment is going to turn into a mask factory!
275 BONES??? THAT MASK BETTER WASH MY CAR, SHINE MY SHOES AND GET ME A DOUBLE BUTTER BUSCUIT ! FOR THAT MONEY, I BETTER GET A MASK, A TOUR OF THE KINGS CASTLE, LIKE ON MTV CRIBS, AN AUTOGRAPH, AND HE BETTER LET ME TAP THE BURGER QUEENS ASS A FEW TIMES…275, THATS 1 NIGHT!! WHAT A WASTE!!!
20 minutes from your house… Thats great! Do ya need someone to front you some money for a piece of the profit! Hahahaha.. just kidding. I’ll take the second mask that is thin on the edges and try it out for you! :):):) You are going to make or break alot of halloween parties.
ok, my girlfriend just made my costume all i need now, is the mask. John i sent you an e-mail yesterday. i haven’t heard back from you. i guess your busy making the masks. I think it would be great if you avoided E-Bay all together. It would also be less of a risk for you. You have enough people on this litte chat to make some big money.
but who am i to tell someone how to run a start up bussiness – hahaha. I need to be guareented one. thoughts?
john, your mask is the shit. any idea when it’ll be on ebay?
thats what im sayin…i think selling the first batch of masks directly to the people on this blog…for a reasonable price and then flood ebay with them and make millions…
John I really think BK is going to get some cheap little piece of crap mask out in party stores before halloween comes around, but from the looks of it i think your mask will blow theirs away.
get those new pics up their if you gott em.
anyone know any sites where i can download all the commercials or get some photos of the king, i gotta start making my costume
Well I just got 4 more gallons worth of liquid plastic. The stuff ain’t cheap but it’s the best material to use so I’m sticking with it. I’m definately starting with eBay first so if you really want one bid your best. From there I’ll go with second chance offers, and then private sale but I doubt there will be any left after eBay. I may be able to make 5 or 50, I have no clue. And I’m stuck at work right now which sucks! lol
John,
I think you should send one to the owner of this blog for letting you post your info to MAKE money on *HIS* blog
I definately think that sounds fair but unfortunately he didn’t supply his email address, and if I try to contact him using the form on chuggnutt it keeps giving me an error! And now that everyone is reading this anyone can reply to me and say they are him… see my deliema?
Owner of the blog here… I fixed the contact form error John’s talking about. And, don’t worry about sending me a mask, I’m good… I’ve got nothing against John promoting the masks here.
The masks from the ebay sold for like 280 bucks in online now for like 9.
http://www.bkmasks.com/
LOL dude!
I JUST BOUGHT ONE FOR 9 BUCKS!!! HAHA Thanks John, but I am outta here. 9 bucks, no questions, delivered by Halloween! SEEYA!
yeah no kidding… still scary all the same…and with that King Francois costume… pretty good! $9 decent mask that doesn’t cover the sides of your face is way better than a $100 mask that does…plus Im gonna be so wasted it’ll probably get broken anyway or better yet stolen or lost!
Fuck it. I’m buying like 10. I bet they sell out by the end of the weekend and then I’ll be the one selling those suckers for 275 bucks on ebay. Muhahahahahaha!!!!
Long live the KING!
Yo Dude, how did you hear bout the bkmasks website?
I had posted on another blog about how I wanted one of these masks awhile back and some guy emailed me the link.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
yeah, no shit. I ordered a few of them. And ill sell them around town for alot more. I still may buy johns if it looks as good as I hope, and can get one. In my quest, I called halloween shops across the country, and they all told me I wouldnt find it. And laughed at me for wanting it. Who is laughing now… Muahhhhahahahahahaha
Hey John, I would be willing to buy one of your masks rather than those pos’s they are selling for 9 ducks, but I dont think I would go past 50 dollars.
Have you thought that the website may be fake and just want to get your credit card numbers? The site looks fake…look at the pictures…and there is no lock in the bottom right corner for ordering…not safe at all!!!!
any chance we could see a picture of one of your prototypes so far… I love yours so far, but I need to know it’s going to be that much more worth it than the $9 model… I can’t justify spending 10 times that amount if your mask is only twice as good.
When you go to the order page for the $9.00 mask, it has the lock. Also, it is linked to the bk.com site. I think its legit.
dwayne, has anyone ever told you that you’re paranoid. Go to the checkout that address is a freaking Yahoo! store. Yahoo=not fake.
The domain registrant for the bkmasks.com is:
Burger King Brands, Inc.
Domain Administrator
5505 Blue Lagoon Drive
Miami, FL 33126
US
Guess this could have been faked as well. Pretty good flash work for a fake site though.
just wanted to help….didn’t want you guys to get taken…it looks pretty fake to me, but i guess i’m buyin too!!!
also, i didn’t see the bk link
Go to burger king.com, still think its fake?
well, the coloring is off on the bkmasks.com beard, but i’d like to see john’s mask before i make a decision on which to buy.
u got the mask?
no, but you can tell if you look at the bkmask.com picture and compare it to the commercials and the real pics on the net. it’s a very different brown. Also, I doubt they will be comfortable at all, and I question their size. With that being said though, can John’s masks really be ten times as good? I don’t know. $100 is starting to look like a lot to pay when there’s a $10 option available. Anxiously awaiting updated pictures John.
I ordered a Mask from BK.com in case John’s arent available….I didn’t get a confirmation though, did anyone else?
Just ordered mine from BK.com. If John’s look a lot better and are affordable I will definitely consider buying one of his. But I’m sure if they go up on ebay they will sell for much more than $50.
I’m hedging my bets and buying one from bk.com, but hope to buy one of John’s (at a reasonable price, this market will be very price sensitive following the BK $9 offering) when they become available… John’s will almost surely look more authentic given what we’ve already seen from his mold photos. Plus the bk.com ones are off in terms of color.
If and when I get the one from John, I’ll just sell the other to a friend or something.
By the way, I did NOT receive a confirmation from the bk.com site after I placed my order.
http://cgi.ebay.com/BK-Burger-King-Mask-LARGE-costume…
I hope this isn’t John’s… looks really bad
Well neither of those two masks are all that impressive… and both seem really high on shipping costs ($10 each when you count tax on the bkmasks.com one)… so I don’t know what to do. Neither matched colors very well, but give John’s a point for being unique.
I guess I’ll go with the sure thing at bkmasks.
I would like to purchase John’s medallion though… John, will that be available for seperate purchase?
I was skeptical at first about the site with the masks until I went to BK.com and saw it advertised there. I am loyal and would love to have John’s but if it gets close, I will have to go with the cheaper version.
based on the feedback rating and the slightly too low location of the mustache, i do think the ebay one i posted was John’s. I’m hoping it’s just a bad picture, because it looks more sunk in and less life like than the mold pictures, which were spot on perfect. So John, if you could post some new pictures, I know it would restore my confidence.
by the way, I think a lot of you owe Brian an appology. No masks from BK this halloween? Straight from the mouth of BK Corporate? Looks like you were all wrong.
from the pictures I’ve seen, I’m estimating the bkmasks.com one as 12" tall, vs John’s 21" tall… and the picture on ebay of the bkmasks.com one has the color spot on, not reddishbrown as the bkmasks.com web site looks like.
If only we could combine bk’s colors and bk’s prices with John’s size…
I’m working on it guys. My paint job and colors sucked on that first one and it does look much better in person. I just put it up cheap on ebay instead of tossing it in the trash.. I had to adjust the mold b/c I noticed the thing about the moustache as well. I also made the eyes "squintier" and the teeth straighter. I’m putting up a blank unpainted one in a couple minutes and you’ll see that it looks a lot better. I’m going to take mine to get professionally airbrushed.
that’s excellent news John. Your mask clearly has the most potential… we just need to justify the monetary difference, which I’m sure you understand.
Unpainted masks are up:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5623373833
I can’t compete with BK’s prices so I figure it’s time to cut my losses. I think the masks will turn out great with a good paint job- obviously my painting skills are severly lacking compared to my scuplting! lol
Price was fair, so I just bought your first mask on ebay… congrats to me, eh?
Looks real good John, and doing the painting myself will be worth it.
Another thing, that sculpting is absolutely amazing. I have to admit that I tried sculpting my own, and its absolutely impossible. Clay is the hardest thing to work with ever. I am by no means an artist, but you my friend, are.
Last thing John… the language is slightly unclear in your auction… the medallion IS included in the $40 auction, right?
Yes the medallion is included, but you’ll need to get a gold chain to hang it from. Thanks for the purchase!
Excellent… gold chain shouldn’t be a problem, Home Depot for like $2.
Can you update me on your attempts to get it airbrushed… maybe what the colors they use (if they have a particular name or whatever)?
You might want to start selling the medallions separately… BK has not made them available for sale, and they’re an essential part of any true king costume… another revenue stream for you!
You can buy these masks here!
http://www.bkmasks.com
"by the way, I think a lot of you owe Brian an appology. No masks from BK this halloween? Straight from the mouth of BK Corporate? Looks like you were all wrong."
You forgot to mention that the people he claimed to send a mask to said he was full of shit. Guessing that BK would have been out of their right minds to not have a mask ready for Halloween hardly makes him the Burger Prince *snickers at pun*
Anyhow, cheers to John for going out of his way to make a quality mask, unlike the ones at bkmask.com. You really are a talented individual.
I wouldn’t sell the medallions separate… I would want to encourage people to buy my mask with medallion as opposed to the cheap BK mask without medallion.
Well I called corporate a week and a half ago and the lady said to me:"If I would have KNOWN how many calls we would be getting about these masks, we would have put them up for sale. We only have them for promotional use only."
SO…I don’t own anyone an apology, BRIANS DAD owes me one for LYING TO ME!!! Since his dad his the LORD BURGER KING HEAD HONCHO, he or one of his fools lied!!
And I still don’t know if I believe him…give me the number to your "dad". I’ll call. The son of a BURGER KING head honcho would not be on message boards! He would be SICK and EMBARRASSED OF BK !!
You speakith the truth!
I called too!!!! I sat on hold for a while listening to the HAVE IT YOUR WAY jingle, then got thru and heard a similar story! Those calls must have put a fire under that guys dad’s ass!
I’m the one who won the auction on Ebay for $283. We called Burger King and they said they didn’t think they would be released in time for Halloween.I had checked bk.com daily for a long time, and no masks and no mention of masks. Then I found them on the BK website yesterday night. I’m angry and have contacted the seller, telling her I feel ripped off since they are NINE DOLLARS at the BK website. I have no idea if this is grounds for a refund via PayPal… what do you guys think? There are other Bk masks going for way more than nine bucks on Ebay right now. I’m sure the website will sell out of them very fast anyway. I’d be interested in buying one of John’s masks but first I’d like to see what the seller of the 283$ mask has to say, and what Paypal has to say if she doesn’t refund my money.
Does anyone have/know of pictures of the Kings outfit so i can make one that really looks good? Any websites or freezeframes from the comertials would be great!
Thanks to all!
E-Rock
I think you’re screwed Lauretta. I can’t think of a legit reason that would let you get out of the transaction just because what you bought is being sold somewhere else cheaper now. Sorry to say it, but who knows.
Yeah thast what Im thinking. I did email her telling her I thought she ripped me off but I’m sure I’m stuck with it. It’s not the end of the world but it is a little frusturating. Granted it wasn’t ME who bought it (it was my boyfriend but under my Ebay account) but still… lesson learned I guess. I wish that bk wouldn’t have told us, that they weren’t going to have any masks.
its a shitty thing to do, but if you feel you were ripped off, just don’t pay… they’ll file a non-paying bidder complaint against you and that will be the end of story… it takes three non-paying bidder warnings to get you in any trouble at eBay. Not like you couldn’t open a new account anyway. You feel cheated, so cheat back. It’s not pretty, it may not be right, but what the hell, its $283!
by the way, the fact that shes from miami (HQ of BK) makes me think that she knew they would be out in a day or so and deliberately misled you by withholding information. certainly not illegal, but not exactly ethical either. i’d stick it to her lauretta.
We already paid for it. = Trust me, I wouldn’t have paid for it had I known, but I already did. And it was funded paypal. I wonder if it would fit the criteria for "item not as described".
hmm, if you’ve already paid, then you are SOL. the item is as described, unless it was advertised as rare or something, which i dont think it was. sorry.
I made my own mask last halloween by taking a ross perot mask, pinning hte ears back, adding a beard, throwing on an actual burger king crown and buying a king’s costume. It actually ended up looking quite good. I’ll see if I can send the only picture I have of it from my phone to the computer. Anyone know how ot do that?
these commercials weren’t out last halloween, what are you talking about?
They are for sale at BK.com just like they said. What is crazy is that folks are buying them faster than the bk chicken fries, and turning them around and e-baying them!!! And they are making over $100 profit! These people buying them on e-bay are in for a rude awakening when the exact same mask can be bought for the same price as 2 combo meals, straight from BK coorporation. Sad for them.
The lady that bought the mask for 280 bucks got bamboozled. That has to be one of the biggest LEGAL scams ever. Fair and square SHE agreed to pay that money, then the next day the masks are common knowlegde to the public on BK.com for 9 bones. Actually 18 once you add shipping. HOGWASH, POPPYCOCK, and SHENANIGANS I DECLARE!!
That really sucks. I feel bad too for all the people bidding on the ones on eBay right now. I hope the people listing them really have the masks in hand and aren’t just putting them up right after ordering one from BK. If BK gets it to them on the 30th, how are they going to get it to the ebay buyers by halloween?
Update on my masks: I went out and bought an airbrush and am going to try to airbrush a mask myself. If that doesn’t work I have an artist who’s interested in painting them for me, and I can just include her fee as part price. Some more unpainted ones should be up on ebay somtime today.
If they wait until the 30th to ship my KING MASK, I am going to put some corporate BK fool on a log roll, just like The King and that lumberjack eating a MeatN’ormous Sandwich. I never got a confirmation, however i ordered a KING outfit online, and it’s already being shipped. I hope BK isnt shady with the masks!
I see on ebay they are all using the picture from BK’s website. They will get in trouble for that as well.
John is there anyway you could get a picture of you wearing the mask so we could see what it looks like on… trying to see if I still want to buy your mask…I feel bad that you spent all this time and money (yes trying to make a profit) to help everyones halloween great! Would love to still buy one if i could see how it would fit… Also The king outfit people are looking for is KING FRANCOIS… I found mine at Factory Card Outlet if any of you have those in your town… Mine was actually 50% off so it only cost me $20… otherwise just call around your town looking for King Francois or do a search for it online… good luck…
I’m worried about the King Francious costume fitting me before I pay $50 for one online. It says fits adults up to size 46 which is like 5’9"-5’11" and up to 260lbs. I’m 19 years old, 130lbs. and 5’7". Is that thing going to be huge on me? If so I may just opt for my original halloween costume plan… Steve Zissou. I’ve already got the full costume, just need to add a gray-white beard. I’d love to go as The King though since he’s a huge icon right now.
try to find it in a store where you live if you can… I am 5’6" 150 and it fits me just fine… a little big but so is the costume in the commercials… its the best outfit that you can find for this costume…
Austin, you can get it for $30 if you go to amazon.com… although I did see that they were out of them earlier today… I’m thinking this forum bought them out. I also think Toys R Us has them.
Hey John, could you please update the airbrushing success ASAP, I am one of the ebay buyers (kcw131) and am debating having you take mine to the airbrusher before you send it. I’m willing to paypal you the difference immediately if need be.
Pictures would be best, if possible. Thanks again.
I am 6’4" 220lbs, and I am keeping my fingers crossed….I WILL MAKE THAT KING FRANCIOUS SHIT FIT!!
I’m 6’4" and 235 lbs and the King Francious costume just fits me. However my fiancee did make some alterations to it to make it look more like the BK king. The black "vest" part isn’t a full shirt and looked kinda funny because my stomach was hanging out lol. I looked like the trailer park Burger King.
Kevin, I’m taking a mask to the airbrusher tommorrow. I’ll let you know how it turns out and email you a picture in case you want me to have her paint yours as well.
Thanks a lot John. I’m going to have to dedicate this Halloween to you or something. lol.
Last question, did she give you a ballpark price per mask? Just curious.
Any way you could post the picture… still wanting to possibly buy your mask… did buy the BK one because I thought yours were going to go for over like $200… but would love to see how it turned out… now that they are available online there might be a bunch of people with this costume… I would love to have the best mask…. thanks a lot…
She said she’d do them for around $25-$35 per mask. It’s guaranteed business for her so obviously the better she does the better they’ll sell. Hope to have some pics up tommorrow.
Thanks for the quick response John. $25-$35 is a little higher than I wanted to go, but if she does a really good job, then it might be worth it. Maybe she’d be willing to do the first few for cheaper to prove to future buyers that she is obviously worth it.
I look forward to the pictures.
Looks like most people aren’t going to be getting any masks any time soon. Most won’t get them by Halloween. There is no guarantee on them, unfortunately. I am hoping to get mine by then, but according to someone i know who has an "in" they won’t be able to get them to most people by Halloween.
Grrrrrrrrrr
Plus, where are these clowns on ebay coming up with these buy it now prices……$42.99 lol, then add $15 shipping…….geez
Todd, the masks off BK.com won’t be getting to people by Halloween? It says on the site that they will be…
John,I have been following this thread from the beginning and I think your mask is the bomb.I have been trying to get one of the real ones since I first saw the commercial.I even went so far as to call the president of burger king(John W. Chidsey)on his private line,but I called after hours and left a message that I wanted to wear the burger king outfit to the American Idol tryouts and I went into detail about it and then I was going to leave my phone number and then it happened,it ran out of tape.Well needless to say I was so embarrased that I left such a long message and did not get to leave my number,I immediatly called back but it said that the voice mail was full,so I just left it alone but wondered what he thought about that?I know that must have freaked him out.
Well, anyway John I wanted one of these mask, not for Halloween,but for everyday use just for fun.So if you make more and they are pretty reasonable(unpainted) then email me at : the_twisted_nipple@yahoo.com
I personally think you done a great job with the largeness of the head(that is what makes it unique)I doubt BK will ever come out with one as big as yours and if it is small like the one on bk.com then it losses its freakishness,so kudos to you and let me know ,even if it is after Halloween.
twisted nipple, if you are that interested, then email john, don’t wait for him (and make him do more work) by emailing you. be proactive big guy.
I believe the bkmasks.com shortage rumor to be true. Something just seems weird about that whole situation. They went from "no way we’re having masks for this halloween" to all of a sudden a mask and such a low price that they would have A LOT of orders. They clearly didn’t have them made yet, otherwise they wouldn’t have said "ready before Halloween". They would have just shipped it out a few days after your order.
Something is fishy here, and I’m sure glad I bought one of John’s masks. they are bigger, better, and a much stronger guarantee.
With that being said, I also purchased a bkmasks.com mask within hours of when they were first posted, so I have a good chance of getting it earlier than people just finding this now. Once I have John’s mask and can confirm it’s the bomb, I will sell my bkmasks.com mask, probably at cost. I can overnight it or whatever, if anyone is interested.
Lauretta,
I just have had words with someone that has an "in". She didn’t think that they would be to customers by Halloween is all.
I am hoping she is wrong. I can hardly wait to scare the cvrap out of my kids one Saturday morning. LOL
OMG you can get those masks @ the bk website for about 10 bucks! I NEED 1!!!
The woman who sold me the mask on Ebay has agreed to refund me all but 9 dollars and shipping costs. That is wonderful, that she is being reasonable. I guses I didnt get ripped off like I thought I had.
That is great Laurette, I guess there are some decent people left in this world.
Wow, I can’t believe he agreed to that. Especially online, where anything and everything is fair game.
WHY did you pay that much though? Man, that’s like watching VH1’s "It’s Good To Be" series, where Paris Hilton and J Lo burn money on stuff just because they can! LOL
Wow, Laurette……you are especially lucky heshe agreed to that! Congrats!!! Heck, if it were me, i’d probably give them $20 plus shipping just becuase they were cool about it.
LOL, look at this one now………
Talking about not scamming people, then they post this……. http://cgi.ebay.com/burger-king-mask-costume-king…
Unbelieveable
Really happy to hear that Lauretta… although I think you should actually accept a couple dollars less than that, as the auctioner shouldn’t have to pay a higher ebay fee than they deserve, thus taking a loss. That would be the right thing to do.
As for that "link" auction, absolutely despicable. That is beyond intelligent business.
Has anyone received their order from bkmasks.com
I wrote to that seller and his response was essentially that he was less wrong than those selling the mask for $200 because he is selling, literally information, for $14 essentially. I responded that if he was truly altruistic, he would have posted it for $.01
Whatever, but I agree that it’s very unethical.
I posted this, cost me 35 cents… I think we should flood the ebay market with a few similiar. It’s our civic duty.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7357200037
Here’s some pics of the airbrushed ones guys (copy and paste):

http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/jhbmw007/king_in_costume.JPG
They turned out pretty awesome- it was really cool to watch her airbrush them. They look even better in person- colors look better and not as shiny (camera flash).
Kevin, email me if you want me to take your mask to her before sending it out this week- jhbmw007@yahoo.com. I’m going to put an airbrushed one on eBay now starting at $65 ($40 + $25 to get airbrushed) and see what the bids go to.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6568965859
I like it.. i would buy it for $65. let me know if you get more and are going to sell them for 65. I will watch the one on ebay..
Hey Nate, just to let you know in case you haven’t been following this thread. John has said that he is going to sell his masks entirely on eBay, not private sales. If you want in on the best mask out there, you’re going to have to pay the man. These are going to go for good money, and they are well worth it. Keep in mind you get the medallion too.
I thought I have been following.. but hell, not checking it every hour will leave a man behind. Hahahaha.. Ill keep an eye on ebay. I may get lucky. I dont plan on paying $100 for something im going to go get trashed in and probably lose. I will say his are alot better than the bk ones though.
Well me altruistic ebay attempts lasted long… someone "bought" my auction essentially erasing it from people’s view. Pretty sure he did it just to be an asshole too, as he isn’t even selling a mask.
What an ass. Don’t worry I posted the BK link in my auction as well. Nate, keep an eye on mine and bid the $65 if you’re willing to pay that. If possible I’m going to give second-chance offers to the highest bidders. I honestly don’t know how much they will sell for now that eBay’s flooded with the Burger King ones, so you might get it at $65.
I’d still like to see someone post a picture of them wearing the BK version mask in their king outfit to see if it looks any good…
hey you can go to burger king.com and buy the mask for like ten bucks. theres a little box that says "click here to buy the mask" i hope you dont need more help then that
hey, i guess im a little late but ive wanted the mask and dont really like any of the just face mask, i want the full head mask and im sure alot of u do too, so im curently working on my own aswell, if u want to check it out go to
http://snoslug.com/king.jpg
i just started and im lazy so i dont want to get ur hopes up by saying it will be ready, that right there is just the model i will use to make the mold, if i get farther with it ill post again
Hey John,
CAn you put this mask on for us and show us what it looks like on instead of on the floor?
Thanks!
Woops,
Just saw your auction pics and it looks great!
Thanks!
So i’ve been sending "bkmask.com" links to these clowns that are bidding on the masks, and i;ve gotten a couple replies like "you need to mind your own business" etc………..wtf.
Just trying to help people out and i get slammed on.
Kevin….it was a good idea. I added my own. I hope you don’t mind that I used your words.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6569012377
Hey Aaron, I certainly don’t mind, feel free to copy and paste all you want. Hopefully no one f’s with your auction the way they did mine.
Hey steven and John, where did you guys come up with such clay-carving skills. I couldn’t even make the damn medallion. That’s looking real good so far steve.
Some joker actually bought the domain http://www.bkmask.com (no "s" on the end). They’re trying to sell them for $24.99 on it. So make sure you tell people bkmasks.com and not bkmask.com!
THe bkmasks.com site has to eb real becuase its featured on the burgerking.com website. I definately think it would be sweet with the King Francois costume. Where can I get a Burger King Medallion. Seems like the costume would be empty wihtout one.
Has anyone gotten their bkmasks.com order yet?
I’ll be selling the medallions seperately on eBay soon. Not sure if I’ll include the chain with them or not. I’m going to make a bunch and sell them for like $5 plus shipping.
John,
I’ll buy the first one!!! I will email you if you would like!
Thanks
Cool. No need to email me. I’ll be sure to post here when they’re up. I’ve already got the mold and everything so I’m going to try to make like 100 lol.
PS Aaron, good thinking doing bidding, that way no one can get yours off of there the way they did mine… No clue why I did a buy it now, lol.
Have you gotten any "hate mail" from that link of yours? I can see it coming from people that are selling (ripping off) the masks to people……
TS
I hope the mouth hole is big enough to drink with a straw through…..lol
TS
thats what im scared about… i need to be drinking halloween… hell its on a monday so im going out thursday friday saturday sunday monday….
LOL, me too……
TS
I was thinking of dropping BY a BURGER KING IN COSTUME, and just stand there in front of the counter! LOL Can they kick you out for that?
Sir, Sir, can I take your order??? LOL
Can you imagine how funny that would be? LOL Just stand back by the door, and just look at the cashiers from affar.. LOL!! That way you are not in line, and if the cops come, just say you were checking out the menu from a distance, and didn’t want to hold anybody up in line ! HAHA!!
The blings are up for sale separately:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5624474261
That would be hilarious KING FAN!!!
LMAO can you imagine?
Hey John,
I just bought one of your bling blings…….thanks!
John, I’m about to buy one of the medallions, but should it really cost $6.50 to ship? I’d seriously take it in a padded envelope and that would cost like $2-3 tops unless the medallion is really heavy. It’s just I’ve spent $50 on the costume and I may end up buying one of your masks too when more go up.
Austin, i would guess he could put the medallion at $6.50 and then charge $1 to ship……..these things take alot of time to make……..See what you can make one for…….
I can’t charge below $7.50 total for the medallions- eBay fees, paypal fees, cost of padded envelopes, and postage all add up. If $7.50 is too steep you can buy some Sculpy Clay and make one yourself. I’m not trying to be rude or rip you off- I’m just selling these things so people don’t have to waste their time making them themselves and I think my price is very reasonable. But if you do buy one of my masks you get it for free!
They have 7000 masks left at http://www.bkmasks.com
responses:
a) I got no hate mail for my first ebay posting telling people to go to bkmasks.com. I did get about six people emailing me to thank me, a few of them I turned on to this site and John’s mask.
b) that medallion price is very fair. If you’re going to spend $50 on a costume, that last $7.50 to put the icing on the cake is well worth it. That’s less than two meatnormous sandwiches (I got one today… awesome sandwich)
c) I LOVE the idea of rolling up to a BK in costume… I may do a few drive throughs and a couple restaurants. This is the most I’ve ever spent on a costume too, so I’m gonna make it worth my while.
d) I got my King Francois The First costume today from amazon.com. I am 6’2", 180lbs, so I will put it on and take a few pictures to give people my size an idea of what it looks like. It’s pretty high quality though, not cheap lycra like some store costumes.
anyone else notice the kings eyes are wider in the newest commercial, the one with the guy on the beam and the "BK Joe" (their line of coffee).
I assume it was intentional, that the king is more awake from drinking the Joe. Funny stuff.
Has anyone got any kinda of confirmation from BK, about their mask orders? (i.e. email or charge on their credit cards)
hey guys,
anyone know where to get a decent price on the francois costume since amazon is sold out? thanks.
This is hilarious. I have read almost everyone’s notes. I have also been wanting this damn mask since I saw "The King" the first time. I have been searching and finally came upon all of your notes. John, I want one of your medallions. But I guess I can go to the ebay website. Thanks for doing all this.
GO TO BURGERKING.COM…. What other way can I write it for you morons to understand….?
its really there…i saw him…he talked to me
I DO WAKE UP WITH THE KING
…..EVERYDAY….I THINK….aND HE IS ALWAYS READY FOR MORE………….. OOOOOOO…… HE’S HERE RIGHT NOW………..
sometimes corporations make mistakes, and i think this is one of them. there is something very fishy about all of this. whomever is making these masks, and its obviously a third party, may not be as reliable as you think, and they are experiencing a ton of demand. they’ll get some of them out on time, i’m sure of that, but i doubt they’ll fulfill all of the orders. not by halloween at least.
the fact that burger king went from "no way in hell" to "here they are, and they’re damn cheap!" overnight really has me worried.
bobo, whats your problem, now you go and screw up the blog with your retarded "nooooooo" comment.
go away.
I fixed the "OOOOOO" thing. I’ll probably start deleting any more really stupid comments that get posted, especially ones that break things…
It’s about time you take control of the idiots Jon
Sorry, it’s just that I hate paying a lot for shipping when I know what it really costs to ship things. I understand if you need to make money for everything, but I guess it’s just me needing to see shipping at the appropriate price. I’ll buy one soon. Thanks for the hard work John.
i am currently workin on the costume, i have some girls from my school helping me. going to joann fabrics gettin materials and what not, im just using what videos i have of the king to make it, ill put up pics as soon as its done
this BK costume is quite an industry now.
bkmasks actually charged my account today. $30.10 for 2 masks with shipping. Woo hooo.. hopefully i get them before halloween!!! I still might buy johns if i can get one for around 65. But it isnt looking like that is going to happen. At least i will now be able to get his bling bling!!
Only 6600 masks left on bkmasks.com
Read the whole blog. Props to John! Ass-clowns on eBay selling links bhaahaha. I think BK might get 0Wn3d on this one…as I highly doubt they will be able to supply enough masks in time. But then again, im sure it’s gonna cost them like .50 to make one since they are more than likely gonna do a batch of like a million of them..we’ll see.
Where are you getting your "xxxx masks left" information from?
I dont understand, Halloween is 3 weeks away, how will people not get them by that time?
[b]Lauretta[/b]
Well, didnt BK just add these to there site not to long ago? And if they are not giving shipping options as of yet, i’d say they are still in production. We’ll see.
yeah why are people freaking out about not getting them in time… its a huge corporation im sure they can make hundreds an hour… shouldn’t be that hard to ship… John does that chain come with the bling then??? I am going to buy one…doesn’t really matter if it does or not since they are so cheap anyway…bought mine on friday the 7th right when it came on-line… let you know when i get it. should take a week or so….
Yeah but it doesn’t take 3 weeks to ship an item. Especially a company as large as Bk.
Has ANYONE tried to go to the bugerking website? you can buy it there!!! lol http://www.bkmasks.com/
we know that already rookie! haha
Ya Rookie………
only 6518 masks available on http://www.bkmasks.com
157 auctions on ebay…….lol
How fun is that
Hey John,
I tried to buy one of your medallions. Unfortunately its says 0 left. Do you plan on putting up more medallions? Cause they’re sweet and I definitely want one. Thanks. If you do and feel like letting me know, please email me at cymehta@gmail.com.
I wonder what the people selling these masks on ebay are saying when people want these shipped asap…….LOL
Wonder what excuses they have, because its obvious that not all these people selling the masks have them in hand because they are all using the picture from the website.
LOL
This is what I think they’re doing: Once the bidder wins the auction, they’re taking his and her shipping information and ordering one for them on BKMasks.com. So they don’t have to deal with getting the masks and shipping them out again. Thats what I would do but I’m too lazy.
So i’ve been following the whole ebay mask selling thing and its funny………there is a new ebay seller (rating of 1) that sold a bunch of these masks within the last couple of days, maybe 10 or so………..now he is selling the link to the bkmaks.com website…….wtf……..
Anyone else have their entire costume finished yet……other than John?
John, have you shipped out the first bling blings yet?
WOW?! is it just me or, has it been an obsession to check this blog on a hourly basis since like 9-27-2005? i plan on buying the mask and medallians also, JOHN FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
Ya, kind of an obsession……lol
Where can I get a medallion???? JOHN!! DID you run out????
Hey,
What cities are all of you from? Hopefully I’m going to be the only KING here in Phoenix….
Lincoln, NE… yeah I was wondering about the medallion as well…
arkansas
Buffalo
Minnesota
Pittsburgh, Pa, Home of the Pittsburgh Steelers
THERE IS A NEW COMMERCIAL WITH THE KING FOR BK JOE? IS HE GIVING CONSTRUCTION WORKERS JAVA NOW?? I NEED TO SEE THIS COMMERCIAL!!!
does anyone have the link to a still shot of the king to where i can see his outfit good to duplicate?
More medallions will be up soon, hopefully tommorrow. I didn’t expect the first 25 to sell so fast so I’m working on getting those shipped out- everyone who’s already ordered one they will be shipped tommorrow at the latest.
Anyone buy the subservient chicken mask? lol
is it just me or has anyone noticed the homoerotic theme to these commercials?
Columbus, OH
The City of Brotherly Love… thats Philadelphia for those who dont know…
Todd where in MN? Im right outside MPLS in Golden Valley but i go to UW-Stout….both cities I will rule with the King. I’ll joust you!
I live in Minnesota too. I used to work at the Perkins in Golden Valley, lol.
Damn, MN loves the KING
I’ll be in Lincoln, NE as well. Vigna, looks like there will be two of us. I won’t be out Saturday though because I’m throwing my own so maybe we won’t see eachother…
Mike, I’m in Philly too… we should not be in the same place… will totally destroy the mojo… although, did you order any of John’s stuff? or just bkmasks.com stuff? did you do king francois?
Although I may end up at Penn State for Halloween, so then it wouldn’t matter.
Michigan here.. got the bk.com mask, any other ideas on where to get a costume?
Oklahoma here
hey dave did you have your mask?????
Kevin… i got the BKMasks mask but johns medallion and the King Francious costume with some alterations…
i should be in West Chester… actually thought about PSU earlier but people are coming here instead
Mike: excellent… good luck King-ing. We should all share our pictures/stories on here after.
Dave: King Francois the First, do an internet search for that costume or go to Toys R Us. amazon.com used to sell it the cheapest, but we bought them out. it’s not perfect, but it’s damn close.
Lauretta did you work nights/early mornings? I am way willing to bet money you have been my server lol!!! my random ass trips to perkins from 11pm-6am. any poker players at the table? thats me and my friends (possibly with altered states…. 🙂 )
I live right north of that on plymouth road this is so weird. if i see another king around we will tag team minneapolis
I just ordered mine 2 days ago…
Wonder when it will come in
Buffalo NY here
Yeah I have worked overnights there before. Managing and serving. Im not the king, Its for my boyfriend. Hes going to terrorize the northeast suburbs.

My costume is amazing. My father is a mummer here in Philadelphia and he had one of his people
make it for me. looks spot on. bought the shoes
last night at a dance company, oh and the tights.
i saw a few people on the board from philly. Where
are you partying on halloween.
Let’s see some pics of it dryw
FYI-
My credit card was just charged for the mask that I ordered from bk.com on Sunday! Hope that means it is being shipped because I actually need it for a party on the 22nd.
By the way, I’m in Oklahoma, I saw one more Okie on here, no offense, but hope your not in Tulsa area. Let me know.
South Buffalo…
Grew up in Cheektowaga

Cool…
I will only be wearing it to my Halloween Party I am throwing…
John,
What’s the word on the medallions? I’m jonsin’ for my BK bling.
Party in Albany.
I love you all. I think its great. I’m trying to get everything for my costume now, but I’m having trouble because the king francious costume I found didn’t look that close. And I’m really short and fat and I’m not sure how it will fit. Someone help!!!!!!!
Kinger you live in Lincoln, or just going to be in town for halloween…what all do you have for your costume? BKmask or john’s??? Be funny if we ran into eachother…
Sorry I don’t have the patience to read every single post, BUT
What are you guys using for medallions, the cape, and the other necesary articles for your costume?
I went to order a mask of bkmasks.com and i noticed that the only shipping option is like ‘arrive before halloween’……..I need mine like a couple days early. Any tips on getting one a couple of days early? Thanks
Alex, couple of things, medallions, look up higher in this thread for posts by "John", he has a link to his ebay auctions for his medallions. the cape and other costume necessities are easiest found in the costume "King Francois the First" on many internet sites. Check http://www.froogle.com to find one.
As for bkmasks.com, I ordered mine very early, and while I don’t have it yet, I have been billed, so I am expecting it soon. I also don’t need mine, as i have ordered john. And I’m willing to sell it at cost, so if you want to pursue that angle, feel free, just email me, kcw131@yahoo.com— i can’t guarantee that i’ll have it soon, but i think i have a better shot at getting it to you before bk does.
Alex,
Don’t be lazy……..read the blog, it is quite entertaining.
You can get the mask on the BK website for $9 plus $10 shipping.
I have been following this thread, but haven’t posted yet.
I e-mailed BK Monday after ordering a mask to see when I could expect delivery, they finally responded today with this:
"Hello-
All orders are processed 24 hours after submission.
Ground delivery is then 5-10 business days.
thanks
Help Desk""
I got the same message as above
WHERE ARE MORE OF THESE MEDALLIONS???
More medallions are up:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5625289060
ok, so my mask is coming along i hope to make the mold this weekend, i got lucky tho, yesterday, after showing the model to about 15 people from my dorm , i put it away, and then the next time i took it out to work on it, it had broken in half, i had to start all over again, but after about a days work im back to the detail work, ill post another pic this weekend
So now I have a problem, found a great deal on the king francoius costume last night, got it very cheap and get it home and it does not fit, I am 6’2 and weight about 250, and it only comes in one size. Does anyone know where I can get a similar costume of the king for a person my size and is anyone interested in the costume I have, brand new
hey, I’m interested, ive been lookin all around town for that costume, and the only "king" costume i can find is Gothic prince, kinda sad
Lucky me I just got the extremely rare burger king helium head from the 1970′ and early 80’s!
The king head mask on the commercial is originally this helium head which bk got a professional effects artist to modified and turn it into that creepy king in the commercial!
It’s made of plastic (kind of hard) but it can be converted to a wearable mask!
I’ll be contacting a few professional artist soon to turn mind into the real deal… THE CREEPY KING!
I’ll post some before and after pics later on..
Holy crap RealKing, last I looked it was up to like $272 or something. I’m sure it hit $300 by auction’s end. youre nuts man.
Try over a grand. Hey RealKing, if you’re near Orlando FL I’ll make a mask out if it for ya. I can make an exact mold of it without damaging the original. Let me know if you’re interested- jhbmw007@yahoo.com
Hurley,
Where did you find the cheap deal on the costume? I’m 5’7 and 160 lbs. Do you think it’ll be a perfect fit for me or will be too loose?
Cyrus, not sure, might be a little big on you, but it would fit you better than it would ever fit me
Does anyone know where this mask was purchased?
As you can see, this guy put a buckeye sticker over the BK logo, and the mask has more plastic below the chin. The crown is larger than the bkmasks mask as well.
http://img446.imageshack.us/img446/7139/thekingyuengling1bleaflogo1se.jpg
That image looks like a photoshop job to me.
No Cyrus.
This guy wore this at the PSU-tOSU football game last week and he is a poster on the rivals.com network.
He has posted several photos of himself at the game with the mask on.

Here is another shot of King Ad Buck wearing the mask.
Where did he get it?
http://img417.imageshack.us/img417/1386/theking4wi.jpg
Definitely photoshop
hey cyrus,
im 5-7, 150 and the costume is a good fit.
you guys are so dumb if you think its real that is all fake. its all done on computer cut and paste
Damn these medallions are going like crazy… another 25 sold out! I’ll put some more up soon…
Okay- more blings are up lol:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5625514948
Hey john,
Just bought one of those sweet medallions…you da man. Just wanted to make sure, we will get those puppies shipped to us by Halloween weekend, right?
Keep up the good work,
Tom
YO JUST MADE MY OWN COSTUME FROM A MIDEVIL COSTUME PATTEREN LOOKS JUST LIKE THE KING DRESS/ROBE WILL HAVE PICS UP IN A COUPLE OF DAYS
Yes the medallions will ship in time for Halloween. I’m going to stop selling them when it’s too late to get them out for Halloween.
Anyone who has the BK helium tank topper- email me! jhbmw007@yahoo.com
Vigna, I live in Lincoln – I’m a UNL student. I’ll probably be hitting the bars up on the Friday before Halloween. I will have the BK mask with John’s bling and the King Francios the First Costume with a home-made cape. If we run into eachother it would be hilarious.
sounds like we’ll be dressed the same. got all the same stuff you do! We’re gonna scare the hell out of some people on ‘O’ Street!
This site has a bunch of pictures of The King out and about…
http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=1689902
Pretty funny… some a stupid a lot are pretty good actually…
I have received my bkmasks.com mask and am willing to sell it at face value (plus the shipping i paid) for anyone that needs it ASAP (it took a week to get to me). First email at kcw131@yahoo.com gets it. I will mail it out tomorrow if paypalled tonight.
For anyone curious, the bkmasks.com mask measures in at 12" x 8" as opposed to John’s 21" x 15". The colors are more life like in person than the picture on the website, the brown is a truer brown, not as red as shown.
kevin i just emailed you please respond either way
hey george, if you are "the hutsons" then i just responded.
hey kevin what day did you order it because i need it for a party on the 22nd and i ordered mine on the 10 and i didn’t want to have two when there are so few of them.
george, I ordered it last Saturday. The first day that they were available I think. Are you saying you want it or you don’t want it?
just wondering how they sent the mask to you and if it needed a sig. to be delivered
it came USPS, priority mail, did not need a sig. Just a big box, no packing material, just a mask in a plastic slip.
Got my mask from BK today!
Got mine today as well!!! Looks great with the King Francouis costume!!!Wish halloween were sooner… need to find a reason to wear this out…maybe at our football party tomorrow…go huskers!
For ppl who recieved the mask from bkmasks.com, when did you order it and how long did it take for you to get it.
Hi all,
I also just got my mask from bkmasks.com in the mail today. I will sell at cost (plus what I paid them for shipping + my shipping cost to you)….
Hit me up off list (krazykat68 at hotmail.com)
Ordered it last Friday, so it took a week.
got my 2 masks as well today. If anyone needs one asap let me know, I will sell it for cost. if you wanna see a pic of it on someone go here: http://rohdert.textamerica.com/?r=3467913 That was taken on my with my phone. And i have a big head. Im happy with it. I just need to get some of Johns bling to go with it.
Still need some help, mask and medallion is on the way, got a king outfit but did not fit, what are some other options for dressing like the king for a bigger person, 6’2 250. Please let me know.
Hey Hurley,
If you figure it out, let me know, i am 6’3" and 270. I haven’t figured out what i am going to do yet……..
Thanks
Steve any updates on your mask???
STEVE WHATS UP WITH TH MSK LETS SEE IT
Does anyone know where I could find a whole body shot of the king so I can make my costume?
This music video is da bomb ya’ll:

He be wearing a bling too!
John’s first painted masks are up to $90 with two days to go… sure to get $125 I’d say… sure glad I got mine for $65 🙂
http://tinyurl.com/7pfd2
Here’s some pics of his costume I took from the tv… not the best but they work-
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/jhbmw007/king_pics/
Thanx john those pics help quite abit. Also I bought one of your medallions and I was wondering if they were just as big as the kings?
Bought my Medallion…
waiting for my mask
Got my King Francios or whate ver costume from Buycostumes.com in like 3 days! woot!
The medallion is a little bit bigger than a CD, which should be around the same size as the king’s.
I ordered that KING suit King Francoius thing a week ago and STILL don’t have it! FUCK!
The BK mask has arrived! got the costume, now i just need to get my hands on a medallion
Hey Vigna, by chance do you work with an Emily Timmons? My girlfriend’s cousin is going out with her and she was talking about how there was another person in Lincoln doing the BK thing (I’m sure there is more than just us) but I thought it would be quite a coincidence if it were you…
In Chicago you can get two Whoppers for $3, Burger King is filling and reasonably cheap. I like the plastic Burger King guy.
We got our BK mask, I think it’s kinda chintzy to be quite honest. But it was only 9 bucks, so it’ll work.
Better than the $200 + you woulda paid….lol Just think if you would have gotten that mask for $200……..ouch
Yeah I know, thank GOD the woman was reasonable and refunded me my money. Im still getting emails through Ebay about what a moron I am.
To whoever won the big helium tank head: how can that possibly be a mask? And a thousand bucks? Thats insane. Are you a collector?
ok, well i got delayed all i need to do is some finishing touches on the hair, im in class now but ill finish up later tonight hopefully and post some pics, rand if u guys think its fine ill let it dry and make the mold, for my mold i plan on filling a box with plaster and putting the head in it it and then cutting it i half to make a front mold and back mold, does this sound right? or should i do it differently
Steve, I think plaster might work if you plan on making the actual masks from a flexible material. But if you plan on making it hard like a plastic (the mask) the mold should be flexible so that it releases well. Check out moldmakingmaterials.com- you can even call them and they’ll tell you what will work best.
BK should make a ‘Real’ King mask for next Halloween which I’m assuming they actually might do since the sales of these $9 masks were good. I can see a $40-$50 full head mask being sold…I’d buy one…
I just ordered a couple masks from BK but was wondering what size box would it take to ship one to my friend when I get it?
The shipping method on bkmasks.com was changed from "delivered by halloween" to "ground."
Well received my mask from Bk today and my medallion, medallion looks great but mask is cheap looking but oh well, one night only. Has anyone bought a wig to wear behind the mask and if so which one would look the best?
Your friend Randy? You mean someone that bought one from you on ebay for a jacked up price?
Well, whatever, a standard priority mail box will work just fine.
Wouldn’t be worth the effort to sell mask on eBay considering I charge $100 hour to shoot/edit videos for a living. The Priority box was what I was wanting to know since I live right down the street from the post office.
John, any more medallions going to be for sale on eBay or at all?
Thanks
Randy, what kind of video work do you do? I’m a film/video production major. I’ve done freelance for a year and a half or so (weddings, sports, local concerts). Eventually I want to shoot and edit features, music videos, and concerts.
As for BK, I got my mask this weekend and it may be plastic and $9 but I love it! I put it on and looked in the mirror and said "I’m the King. Awesome." Got my costume and medallion on the way, I need to go find tights, shoes and possibly extra material for around the chest.
Any sugestions on where to find a cheap King Francois costume?
yo any more medallions gonna be put up on ebay…..they look sweet!!!
buycostumes.com has the cheapest francois costumes right now, about 47 after shipping charges.
I’m not sure if I’ll be putting any more medallions up- maybe I should sell the molds so someone can take over lol…
I will be putting up another painted mask but this time with a costume… if I can have it ready in time. My fiancee is making the costume from all new materials- we just bought the fabric and it should be almost identical to the commercial.
get mask at bkmasks .com
no shit
lol, where you been anonymous……..lol only been talking about it for a couple weeks now
Has anyone heard the burger king radio commercial? It’s a funny song ("jingle") and I think it was about the lumberjack and the lyrics say something like "out comes the king with the bling". I need to find out where to download that shit!
nope i dont know emily timmons… I am the store manager at Hollister Co. so unless she just started and I dont know about it (just ended my 8 day vacation) hey if you know of anyone who has graduated college and is looking for a job… ha ha!!! yeah I was thinking about getting a wig as well… anyone know of any good ones that go well with the mask… thinking dance shoes are what he wears in the commercials is that right??? KING FRANCOUIS costume is good… works well but im trying to find a fabric material at like HOBBY LOBBY etc. that would match better… anybody know what looks good… almost looks like elegent drapes or something… thanks
I guess if you need some tights you can find some here – http://www.highlandrags.com/store/cart.php?target=product&product_id=16288
Kind of expensive though at $37
Yo check out my BK Jack-o-lantern!

I got my mask from BKMasks too. It might be cheap plastic but its worth every penny. Long Live the KING!
Did everyone buy the KING FRANCOIS costume online? I was thinking about checking out the local Halloween costume store and Toys R US. Did anyone find the coustume at a local store? Is it even worth it?
I bought mine at Factory Card Outlet… 50% off too so it was only $20!!! any fabric ideas for those of you making your own… i want a better looking cape…
I too bought mine at the factory card outlet for 50% off, but it did not fit, but did manage to sell it for a small profit, now just looking for wig to match, kings outfit of some type, cape or robe would do with a gold shirt and also i am wearing white compression pants as my tights, i think they will be a little more comfortable
My fiancee is about halfway through making the king costume from scratch. If she keeps up the pace, maybe she can make a few to put on eBay. Only downside is the materials alone cost $50! Depending on how good it turns out, I’ll be selling either the one she’s making or the king francois one that she altered (as seen in my auctions). But it will be a closer match than the king francois getup.
Received John’s mask about 10 minutes ago. Although I really shouldn’t call it a mask, I should call it art. As someone who got the bk mask as well (and then sold it), I am very happy I went this route. Just one thought John, an area for my nose would help, since the back of your mask is flat, it will sort of squish my nose, and due to the weight (which is obviously unavoidable), I’m hoping the mask stays firmly on my head. But overall, I’m thrilled. I have to get back to work, but I’ll post some eBay feedback later, as well as some pictures with the mask and francois outfit. The medallion was spot on too.
Glad you like it Kevin. I noticed the problem with not having a place for the nose as well. Unfortunately there was no way around that because the resin is very liquidy and drys flat. If you get some sponges or "couch foam" and attach a piece for your forehead and chin, that should work. What else might work is if you buy a cheap plastic "jason" hockey mask ($1 at Walmart) and attach that to the back with some strong glue.
Hey John,
I was brainstorming with some people at work and came up with the couch foam idea as well… I think that will be my first attempt. I’ll let you know how it goes. Where exactly did you cut your eye holes? I could cut them at the actual eyes, but your airbrush artist did such a nice job with those that I feel wrong doing it.
Final thing, and its really nitpicky, but if you are looking for ways to slightly improve, the gold color you used for the medallions is more King-like than the gold on the crown. Again, it’s nitpicky and I’m thrilled overall, just figured I’d offer some constructive criticism.
I actually still have to make my mask and get it painted. I’m planning on putting some eyeholes right above his moustache because the mask needs to sit up high or the "poofy neck part" of my costume gets in the way. Yea the gold the airbrusher used is a bit dull but I think that’s all she had.
My next project: BK King Bobbleheads! And no one’s commented on my BK jackolantern I posted earlier- c’mon it’s kick ass!! Yes, I think I’ve gotten a little too obsessed with this "king" stuff…
i need the template for your king pumpkin. Post it somewhere so we can all have the king on our front porch!!
John, pumpkin is great, I didn’t notice that post before. Would definitely like the template.
El Crusho… definitely don’t pay $37. Hell, i went to a ripoff costume store and found a white pair of tights for just $7. I figured that was overpriced.
King masks now SOLD OUT on BKmasks.com
sweet!!! Sold out!
good thing i got mine the other day!
Where to i go to get a mask from john everyone knows where but i dont please help me i really desperately need one for halloween bkmasks.com and bkmask.com are both sold out of them and i need to prepare now Thanx.
Ray,
John is selling his masks on ebay. He has none up right now, but when he does he sells em under the ID jhbmw007.
hey john I bought your medallion with the user name Kirstenlb2002 (my girlfriend) and I was just wondering if those had been sent out? Paypal is being screwy… so I was just wondering what you knew… thanks a lot!
Hey Vigna it’s still showing as pending. Did you pay with a credit card? It’s been that way for a while so it should clear soon.. I’ll ship ASAP once it goes through.
Wow, I just bought both the King and Chicken mask today!! I guess I got one of the last King masks!! I hope I get it before Halloween!! I made and awesome t-shirt to go under the robe…I’ll take pics!! Lots of exlamation points!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!
does anyone have a leftover bk mask they’re selling. i’d be glad to pay more than cost
lol, guess I shouldn’t have been the nice guy and sold mine at cost… haha, well at least I sold it to a good guy. The fewer masks on the market, the more unique we are.
Spend the extra money and get John’s mask next time it goes up on eBay, it’s worth it.
I’ve got one left over BK king mask (one of the $9 ones). I’ll ship it overnight or by whatever means you want if you pay shipping + $25 (they are sold out and in demand, ya know).
Whew! I bought two king masks right before lunch and they were sold out by the time I got back to my desk. Glad I pulled the trigger in time!
I’ve been reading through all the posts — thanks for all of the great ideas. Can anyone who already has their bk mask tell me if the mouth hole is big enough to drink/smoke through?
Also, those medallions look great. Are you planning to make another batch, John?
its just big enough to put a cig. through but kind of a pain in the ass… it sticks in there… drinking on the other hand is a bit of a problem… i tried and thought I was doing a good job, but then I looked at myslef doing it in a mirror and was spilling all over the place… so that sucks… JOHN yeah it was with a debit card (my girlfriends) and can’t get over drawn so I’m sure it will go through tomorrow… any more wig or fabric ideas???
Would like to get one of these masks if anyone has an extra one available.
Pretty much a broke college student and can’t afford the ebay prices even though the mask really looks great John. You’re quite the artist and I’ll definitely need some of that bling if I can find a mask.
So i drink mixed drinks out of a straw………that should work, shouldn’t it?
That king o’lantern is awesome! Please post the template for those of us with no artistic ability!
King-o-lantern haha I like that. I’ll scan the template to PDF and post it later today.
Anyone interested in buying the bling molds off me to take over the "business"? I’m still receiving emails from people wanting them but I’m DONE making them lol. They’re a bit used up and have gotten a few small holes/tears in them but you can probably make them work, just might be a pain with the liquid plastic but if you use polymer clay or a thicker plaster that should work fine. Get a couple cans of gold spray paint, lay them out on a pizza box, paint and sell! Email me if interested and what you’d pay for them- jhbmw007@yahoo.com. Might need to express ship them if you want to capitalize on the demand before Halloween. I have molds to do 4 at a time plus another one made from a different mold for polymer clay.
Check out this guy’s medallion!
http://cgi.ebay.com/Burger-King-Necklace-Medallion-Whopper-Size-for-Mask…
I gotta give him props on it and hope he gets some bids lol. He said his fiancee isn’t talking to him anymore because she thought he was stupid for making it LOL!
Now that is funny. I do have a mask from bkmasks.com for sale…Email me directly (krazykat68 at hotmail.com)
Wow… just finished reading the whole thread. I ordered my BKMask about a week and a half ago, still waiting on the delivery. — btw: I hope any guys out there going to a halloween party with the full costume will at least try the pickup line "hey baby, wanna wake up with the king?" at least once 🙂 John- are you still making medallions?
Woulda made more sense to go buy a mini-disk instead of that monsterous frisbee.
The graphics look good though!
Got my King mask in the mail today….awesome!! Anyone have ideas on the rest of the costume….where to purchase and all that good stuff…holla at me 🙂 Why didn’t the ‘tards at Mickey Donalds ever think of such a clever marketing campaign…instead of the oversaturation of a homo clown and Justin Timberlake (or are they the same) oh well….. ALL HAIL THE BURGER KING KING!! 😛
I got my bkmasks.com mask in the mail yesterday, it’s not that bad..kinda small for me. I also just ordered my King Francois costume from fantasytoyland.com…I’m a little weary as to how it will fit. I’m 6’5" 250lbs…mostly muscle though, not fat.
I was thinking of pulling the sleeves off and going as the "Diesel King"
Anyone from New Jersey here?
I’m no longer making medallions for anyone who’s wondering. Same goes for the masks- well there might be one more mask available with costume in a couple days if I can finish it in time. Halloween’s right around the corner!
I’ve put the PDF of the King-O-Lantern up:
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/jhbmw007/kingolantern_template.pdf
Just print and copy to your pumpkin using carbon/transfer paper. Finished result:
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/jhbmw007/bk_pumpkin.JPG
Steeda, the costume will not even come close to fitting, trust me
Hell no it won’t fit. I’m 6’4" and it was like a belly shirt on me. Then again the king does have that homoerotic presence about him- so it might work for him…
Buy some gold fabric and sew it on long enough to make it knee-length. You’ll probably get by with the length of the red cape- it came down to about my knees.
If there are any more bkmaks for sale let me know. You can email me at phunkyrhoer@yahoo.com. I would love to have one for the halloween party I am going to attend.
by the way I cannot afford one of John’s mask, but kudos to you, it looks better than the bk one. The jack o lantern is kiss arse as well. I really did not think of going as the king until yesterday and darn it the mask were sold out. Maybe next year when it will not be as creepy.
John, you should sell that template on ebay! Post a pic of your pumpkin and people will certainly go for it. This is perfect for all of you kings having parties at your houses!
Yea I was thinking about selling it on eBay for like $.99 lol. The pumpkin I carved is actually a "funkin" fake carving pumpkin and I had thought about selling it too. I’ll probably put it up on eBay after Halloween. Those cheap battery powered pumpkin lights didn’t do the trick so I plugged in like a 20 watt yellow bulb into it. The "Kingolantern" is now sitting on my windowsill grinning at peeps!
"Hell no it won’t fit. I’m 6’4" and it was like a belly shirt on me. Then again the king does have that homoerotic presence about him- so it might work for him…

According to the pic it looks like the entire outfit comes down to the knees, how was it a bell shirt? Which part specifically? The gold piece looks like it can be safety-pinned together so it won’t split.
i’ll buy your extra mask for $25 bones plus shipping. email me at "ahovance@umd.edu" and we can work it out.
I tried the king o lantern site john, but it says not avail.. so did you take it off and selling it on ebay? Not that I would blame you. Haha. I got my King Franwhatever costume today. Im 5’8 180 and it fits me just decent.
Steeda,
The guy in the pic is probably 5’5" or something. The gold part was the part that didn’t reach my waist. It has a cheap strings attached to tie it up, but you probably could pin it closed. But unless you have a very short torso I wouldn’t count on it being long enough. If you can’t get it altered a gold-colored shirt underneath would probably work too.
I’m not sure why the kingolantern link isn’t working- Angelfire might be having problems. Email me at jhbmw007@yahoo.com and I’ll email it to my fellow chuggnutts. What the hell is a chuggnutt anyway? I predict Jon’s site’s traffic is going to slow some after Halloween and no one cares about the King anymore lol.
yeah it will probably slow down.. but i predict it will it step up in the coming week. Now that everyone found out about them selling on bk.com and being sold out now. I bought 2 of them, but gave one to my brother in Indiana. I should of tried to sell it for $250.. Hahahah.. just kidding.
I’ll sell one of my BK.com masks for $25 plus shipping if anyone is interested….looks so ridiculously great with francois i think. lol good times on campus ensue…wilsonmat@uwstout.edu
check your email, wilson.
My mask just came in the mail today from bkmasks.com. the mouth and eyes are kinda far apart. Now I want to get a costume that works. I like that King Francois costume kind of, but the shirt isn’t frilly enough, and there is no cape. It is also like 50 bucks. Anyone else got ideas on where I could get pants like that, or a big frilly red shirt? I’m pretty average size…..5’9” 160 lbs. Thanks
Oh well, I’ll try to get my Francois outfit to fit somehow. What is everyone doing for tights? …or are people just buying really high white dress socks.
John, since you are similiar in size to me, how did the white shorts fit? Are they high up from your knees?
Alex, as far as the pants go, they look a lot like baseball pants, which are relatively inexpensive.
Anyone selling a mask or know how to get one? These things are awesome.
Well BK screwed up, they said they couldn’t charge my card for my first order but then it went thru and I got it anyways! SO! I have TWO masks available…Email me! I told the people who said they’d pay the highest who they were so make sure you contact me before tomorrow preferrably so I can ship them before i go back to campus. I want you to get these ASAP they are hilarious!
wilsonmat@uwstout.edu !!!!! Hurry please for yours and my sake
12 days to go!!! well less than that for the first few parties… I am going with a few friends (girlfriend is rainbow bright) but my buddies are going as Ronald McDonald, Arby’s Ovenmit, and I think another guy is going to go as Wendy… we are looking for other friends to go as Runza Rex (for those of you in the midwest), and Colonel Sanders…
Burger King PEZ dispensers are on their way!

http://cgi.ebay.com/AUTHENTIC-Burger-King-Mask…
Interesting mask pumpkin king, I like that it’s a full head mask, but I think if you gave dimensions, it would be helpful. the size of john’s mask is what makes it so great.
Also, pumpkin king, what type of material is your mask made out of?
Sorry guys, I should have gave more details.
The Mask is latex, painted accordingly. It isn’t oversized like the BK comercails mask, however it will fit an adult. Deimension are beardtotop 10" sidetoside 10" and fronttoback 11"
As for the collar thats up to you.
Hey pumpkinking, the only suggestion I have is for your mustache, I think you want to incorporate a little bit more of a twist upwards Rollie Fingers style… certainly not that extreme, but if you look at the pic at the top of this page, you’ll see what I mean.
I’m trying to find the King Francois for under 40-50 bucks. Unfortunately, most places are sold out. Does anyone have one that they’re willing to sell(didn’t fit ’em)? Would a Toys R Us store have it?
Pumpkinking – Most excellent job!
O.K.
I’ve added the pics of my costume and a size comparison to a Micheal Meyers mask to the web site. http://www.dpproduction.com
That’s me in the costume and I’m 5’7" about 135 lbs. My head is 10.5" dia.
I hope this helps with getting a handle on the size of the mask.
Thanks for the advice on the mustache, however the mold is cast and there’s no changing it now.
To order plese e-mail me through the e-mail link on the site, thanks and Happy Halloween.
You know, other than that King Francois costume, it is tough to find a kings costume of ANY kind. Been looking around and just haven’t found even just a robe…..I thought that was kind of odd.
Guess kings just aren’t that popular any more……….unless you are the burger king
Cyrus, my King Francois is on it’s way in the mail.. If it doesn’t fit me well I will sell it to you for what I puchased it for + shipping.
Thanks SteedaGT, Keep me updated on the costume. My email is Cymehta@gmail.com. I’d like to get the costume asap.
Steeda, i’m 6’4" 270 and it didnt fit me…….
I have no clue what i am going to do for mine……….
Todd. do you work out? I’m just courious cause you’re similiar size to me (although a tad heavier)
I’m a religous health freak and hit the gym 4-5 times a week. My main concern is my wide shoulders and height. I have very little body fat.
Nah, dont work out……Never have, no time ……just big boned as they say……….lol…..
Not fat at all, solid i guess i would say.
Steeda,
How much did you buy your costume for? I’m just wondering how much would the costume cost me if I buy it from you.
If anyone has additional masks available, I would love to purchase one for about $30 plus shipping. I cant afford these ridiculous ebay prices since i just bought Sox world series tickets. Please email me audit_these@yahoo.com if you have a mask you’d like to sell me. Thanks!
Cyrus, the costume cost me like $58 with shipping and all. I have to double check but its in that ballpark. Im a decent man so I wouldnt be trying to make a profit so I would sell it to you for that price + whatever it costs to ship.
I’ll trade you a mask for a couple of Sox tickets……lol
I am willing to pay for the infamous burger king mask hopefully under $60 dollars anyone willing to sell please email me before Halloween. Sbear6969@aol.com Please please please!
The way these mask prices are going, they are comparable to sox tickets on ebay!
The Burger creep mask is now on e-bay. Happy bidding.
I will only be offering these masks through e-bay now. Sorry if this is inconvenient, but now I can accept paypal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6571682019
Thanks and Happy bidding.
These things are going to be selling for big bucks………..i am going to guess they go for over $200 a piece soon……
oof
Crap…I’ve been following this thread for a few weeks – saw the bkmasks.com post a little too late and missed the sale. $50+ is ridiculous for a cheap plastic mask 🙁
If there are any kind-hearted people out there who would let one go for the original price + a small handling fee I’d sure appreciate it – but I don’t expect so!
(guess I’ll have to think of a new costume)
Oh, email is spitfire@rblords.com just in case. thanks
The BK Pez’s are coming. Just bought some more molding supplies to cast the PEZ head in. The guy there told me, "I wish you’d stop making these things. I have nightmares about this guy". LOL!
These should appeal to 2 markets- the BK King "Fanatics" and all the PEZ-heads out there.
I think this is beyond nightmares at this point!! I may go driving around this weekend with my King mask!!
I was thinking of what else i could do with the King costume………seems as if i can’t even find a robecape that would work, and i am not a seamstress, nor do i know one…………
I was trying to think of other ways i could dress up as the king……..maybe put on this old black robe that covers the face, then when i am near someone reveal the king mask…….
lol
I dunno……….Any ideas?
My fiancee is sewing up a costume just like the one from the commercials. It will probably be going on eBay this weekend, but with one of my masks, so the price might spike… We have to buy some faux fur tonight to finish it up. It’s been tailored to fit me- I’m 6’4" 235 lbs.
I think John and his fiancee should open up their own costume shop…
Funny "King sightings":
http://forums.fark.com/cgi/fark/comments.pl?IDLink=1689902
i bought the mask for 9 bucks and the king francois for like 55 with shipping i just got them in the mail im 5’7 230lbs kinda tight but its fine comes with a cape, some web sites dont make that clear, and man its hard to find a king costume peroid
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:US:31&item=5627650864
What about this king robe?
I managed to buy my mask and costume JUST in time and they came in today. I’m fairly fat at 5’7 200 lbs and it the King Francois costume fit perfectly with room to spare, so taller, skinner guys might need to have it tailored. You would probably need it tailored anyhow, as it seems a blind 8 year old chinese kid did the stitching and it won’t survive a night out without it falling apart. Despite what some people said before, the masks from bkmasks.com fit well for even the most bulbous of heads. Although I would have gladly shelled out the money for one of Steve’s masks, I am quite satisfied with the one I got.
does any one have a mask left that they would be willing to sell, my paycheck came to late making me unable to get one from bk before they sold out. any way if any one does have a mask please email me at zacstover@gmail.com -thanks
you had to wait on your paycheck to buy a $9 mask? damn man, you really need a credit card.
Please contact me at the email provided-majes888@yahoo.com if anyone has more bk masks for sale, thanks.
My $9 mask is officially the main conversation piece in my house!
John,
I received my Bling Bling Medallion yesterday. It is freakin’ sweet and worth every penny. Just gotta find me a cheap king costume. Thank you John…you da man!
Wake up with the KING and the BLING!
I manage the largest halloween mask site on the internet and I am trying to reach the studio that produced the original 100K run of licensed masks.
Although BK corporate has indicated there would be no more King masks produced, I believe they will change that decision due to the obvious demand.
I would like to speak with you please. Your production renewal is almost inevitable for 2006.
Please see http://www.halloween-mask.com for contact info.
I did attempt to reach you through channels at BK corporate, and was given no information.
John,
This site is not owned by Burger King.
Man, i can’t find a costume that will fit me anywhere……..this blows.
I think i am going to have to put the two masks i have up on ebay unfortunately……….grrrrrrrrr
John, you may want to inquire Crispin Porter and Bogusky, they are the advertising company BK uses for their commercials and they came up with the King commercials. Not sure if they are involved with the production of the masks, but they might be able to point you in the right direction:
http://www.cpbgroup.com/
Of course I’d love to land a deal with you producing/selling the masks I made- but I don’t have a "studio" and couldn’t mass produce…
Thanks John, I do appreciate that.
Actually, I did contact CPB months ago, and they knew nothing about the mask production or licensing.
Having finally found a licensed site and confirming a production run of 100K pieces, I find CPB’s lack of knowledge a more than a little incredible.
But to be fair I cannot imagine any reason why they would pretend to know nothing about their own client’s activities.
A case of one hand not knowing what the other is doing, no doubt.
I was wondering if anyone who bought one of my masks had any luck applying the logo to the crown? I’m picking mine up today from the airbrusher and was thinking of using a printible decal for model cars… Also the people who bought the unpainted ones I’d like to see some pictures of how they made out with the painting…
wow .. bk sold out of masks .. and i want to be the king at work .. i just got a job at burger king yesturday *sigh* lol I WANT TO FREAK OUT PEOPLE AT THE WINDOW!!! gaahhh!! lol they should start selling them at stores 🙂
the production company that made the masks is called stan winston.
Todd, what did you do with your King Francois costume?
Steeda, any luck with your costume?
Cyrus, the costume hasn’t arrived yet. I ordered it a few days ago so it should come soon.
Well here is the way I am going since there are not many king costumes period and for people over 6 foot and 240lbs it is really impossible, well anyway I bought the king richard outfit on http://www.halloweencostumeboutique.com (XL) it should fit better than the king fracouis outfit, then i got the bk mask. the bling medallion from John, I bought a white boa for the thing around the top of the outfit. White compression pants for the tights with black shoes. Red cape to go over the costume. should work out nice.
Does anyone have the King Francois costume without the BK mask? I am ready to purchase the costume. Please email me if you have one to sell.
Everywhere I look it is out of stock.
Thanks,
Tripp
i have a couple of bk mask left over, cannot find a FEAGGIN, king fancy costume,….email me at peej745@yahoo.com
Got my Medalion today, My mask from BK and my White Hosen Stockings I bought on ebay from my link above.; It took about 10 days to get the mask. Man I need to find like a red wig or something for my head because it just doesnt look right…
This mask is worth about $1.50…
Whoever gets this mask will put all the other kinglings to shame:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-70s-Vintage-Burger-King-Head-Mask…
That’s the best one available I can honestly say- even puts mine to shame. Then again mine wasn’t at $510 and still "reserve not met"!
Holy cow, I nearly had an orgasm…that mask is flippin awesome!!!
Oh yeah – El Crusho = xcapitanhookx on Ebay…
Like the Feedback, Long Live the king lol
That guy that made that really big medallion has a different one up on eBay. Looks really nice. Here’s the link;
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6571883017
Yeah but look at the starting bid. And the whole bit about his fiancee being pissed at him is probably just to get some "pity" bids.
Please let me pay for a mask!!!!! Give it up. My wife insists.
Yo guys.. you can check out some pics of my in my costume at http://rohdert.textamerica.com I was kinda worried that it didnt look that good, but when i broke it out last night when everyone was drinking, I got a huge response. I cant wait for next weekend. I am going to win all the costume prize party money!
Hi folks. I’ve really enjoyed reading all of this kingly stuff. I landed here when I was looking for some good pics of the king so I could make a king costume. I have truly been entertained and educated!! Anyway, I became a little wary of what the bk mask would look like (I had previously ordered it) when it arrived, so I found this other great mask – it is actually a mask of Queen Elizabeth. I am affixing hair (hair/mustache/beard) and think it is looking pretty good. I am sewing the costume: Burgundy cape with white fur collar, long sleeved white chemise with ruffled collar and wrists – burgundy velvet and gold trim, gold ‘tunic’ – real fancy material, and gold brocade bloomers. Gold ‘rope’ tie for waist. Will top it off with white/cream colored tights and black (low) boots. Also adding a small ‘pouch’ made of the same gold brocade for my cell phone and flask. I was too late to get in to order a medallion from John… ugh. Oh well. I will get a pic up when the costume is done (probably later this week – I’m also helping a ‘buddy’ with his ‘Curious George’ Costume). HERE’S TO THE KING!

Im sure there will be a few more pairs of ronald and the king out there. I had an extra King Francois suit and a mask so if you want to bid on it go here. And for you big guys like me don’t worry I’m 6’1 245 and the king francios siut is snug but it fits.

I need to scare some friends at a school trip during november
Just got one of john’s masks a couple days ago… and HOLY CRAP. it’s HUGE and creepy. I really didn’t expect it to be so big, but it’s awesome, especially when added to my 6’5" height. I also bought a king francois costume for $40 from costumes4less.com, and it WILL FIT LARGE PEOPLE. It fits fine across the shoulders, and though the gold part doesn’t really close well, and the black shirt part barely even covers my chest, a few modifications and it will work out great. thanks again for the awesome mask!
Nick – So the King Francois outfit fit OK for you? You are my exact height, so Im interested. If you dont mind me asking how much do you weigh? Are the sleeves tight? What about the short pantalooms? If you could post a pic of yourself in costume that would be great!! Thanks for the good news!!
ESPN NFL Countdown’s Mayne Event (Kenny Mayne football/comedy sketch) did a feature on the King today… it was absolutely hilarious. fake interviews, highlights, etc.
if any one is interested, i have 2 mask
Here is a perfect companion for THE KING. My wife wore this and i went as the king. We thought we would pass it on so somebody else could have some fun. Go here to get your Ronald Mcdonald costume: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ronald-Mcdonald-Suit-w-wig-shoes…
I also have and extra mask with free shipping if anyone wants to bid on it go here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6572717788…
Alright, after getting pretty much everything I need I’ve had second thoughts on going as the King. I know someone else who will be at the same party as me that is going as the King. So I have a backup and will be going as that now. This leaves me with the King Francois costume and one of john’s medallions to get rid of. Is anyone interested in purchasing the two? If not together, then seperate even? The costume originally included a gold rubber necklace attached near the neck but I cut it off because it is not necessary nor a part of BK’s king character. If anyone is interested please e-mail me and I will get you what you need before Halloween.
Austin, I am interested in the King Francois Costume. Hopefully it won’t cost me a fortune. I am a broke college student and looking to get the costume for around 50 bucks. My email is CyMehta@gmail.com. Please get back to me and hopefully we can work something out.
I hope you all knew about http://www.bkmasks.com They were selling them for $9. Also http://www.bkmask.com were reseelling them for $24. Both sites are sold out now though. I got 2 for $9 each, and I must say it was the best $9 I’ve ever spent. I’ve been wearing it at random times during the 2 weeks leading up to Halloween and everybody is amazed by it and loves it. Can’t wait to put the entire costume on for Halloween and party down.
I don’t like the Burger King mask either because it was in this nightmare that I had, so it’s creepy to me also!!!!!
I like it because it cool and all you haters can go die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why why why is this selling for this much???-
http://cgi.ebay.com/BK-Costume-Bling-Medallion…
Ok, time for another city check…I hope there isn’t 500 kings in Phoenix.
Oh man, isnt that one of your medallions?
Steeda, How things with your costume? 100+ dollars for a medallion is just rediculous.
Cyrus,
Still hasn’t arrived yet, however some of the bigger guys on this forum are starting to give me confidence so I think it should fit. I’ll definitely keep you posted.
HAHA – The TRUE story of the original Burger King…it all makes sense too, the creepiness, homosexuality, everything!

Hey everybody. I had the day off today and was able to work on 2 costumes and 1 mask- now up on eBay. These are custom made costumes by my fiancee and I think they look pretty damn GOOD!:

Costume only:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5629120501
I have now sold my costume and medallion, no more e-mails please. thanks.
I’m dressing my 10 month old son like the king too! My fiancee’s making him a little robe to wear and we’re gonna get a paper crown from BK for him to wear- so he can be the burger prince!
Anyone think this costume will be big next year? I think if they keep coming out with new commercials it will- I’ve seen like 2 new ones in the past week.
It might be popular again next year, but by that time there will be costumes marketed. I dunno, usually one-off characters like this come in strong and fade away just as quickly…can anyone say ‘Where’s the beef?’
What are the 2 new King commercials???
There’s one where he runs up to the goal post and "dunks" and another one where he catches the ball and slides between another player’s legs (which was really badly superimposed and fake looking). They’re really short commercials for the BK chicken fries.
anyone know that 1 song they play?It was played on the burger King Commercial, i think the new one, its not "ROUND UP", , it was played on NFL Films where Terell Owens caught the winning Touchdown Pass in the 1998 playoff game against greenbay NFL Films always plays it and it was played this past week on NFL Network when they were showing seattle vs dallas on Point After..its a song that jus gets u pumped up its like " amazing" i jus luv it i cant find the name of it and its not round up …its all instrumental sounds kinda new any1 knows thx alot
its the commercial where he slides between another player’s legs and catches the ball i think.
our old friend lauretta won the amazing full king head mask. lauretta of the $200+ bkmask.com auction winner.
congrats lauretta, may you win twice that in prizes this halloween.

The bk mask has now made it to the ranks of the Sports Guy, well his intern at least… links to a site about the creation of the bkmasks.com mask. Both links here. second one is worth reading, the guy can’t understand why anyone would want to be the King… needless to say, I already emailed him with the link to this site.

I did buy that head, and it arrived today. The sellers name is Romel. Maybe he has more than one to sell?? But the one on the left arrived today.
haha..that ebay link costume is so gay. Hence the 0 bids. Steeda, did they give you a tracking #? I bought the costume off Austin and I’m hoping it gets here by tomorrow. I’m gonna be rockin’ it fri, sat, sunday, and monday. Can’t wait to use the money pick up line on chicks: "Don’t you wanna wake up the King?"
Here’s another idea: I’m thinking about buying 10-12 burgers to hand out at the party. This costume/party/weekend is gonna be off the hook! Long live the King and his Bling!
I sure do, I have many up for sale. I have purchased many King Heluim toppers and are converting them.
I thought my burger king was bad………that one on that link is gay………lmao……wtf is with the gray hair behind the mask dude……..at least do somehting with your hair…….and that dress……….lmao………too funny
Cyrus – they don’t have a tracking # for me. I called them today to see what was up, they told me it had to ship from California and the shipping company is located down in FL and they got hit bad, blah blah blah…SO I yelled at them and said "Well you had no problem charging my card, yet you can track this friggin costume????"
There’s supposed to be a manager who is going to call me up today to tell me what’s up.
Just in case, anyone in the NJ/NY area have a King Francois costume for sale for local pickup??
Does anyone know where I can still find a King Francois costume? I’m all set with a mask, but can’t find a costume anywhere! Please post or contact me directly if you have one to sell. Would prefer pick up if local, NJ, NY, DE. Need before the weekend. Thanks!
Great, looks like they can’t deliver my King Francois costume before Halloween!!! This really blows!! I’m on hold with the supervisor, they plan to give me a refund…now I have to figure out what I’m going to do…this really blows!!!!!!!!!
Im so freakin pissed.
Does anyone in the NJ/NY/PA/DE area have a King Francois costume for sale/pickup????
That sucks. I was told by a couple fellow chuggnut-BK followers that they bought the costume in person at a FactoryCard Outlet at 50% off. I checked out their website and its not selling on there but I’m posting a link to their store locater page. They do have stores in NY, PA, and DE. You should call up the stores and ask them to look for it. If its close enough for you guys, you should personally check it out Personally, I wouldn’t trust the searching skills of a Halloween Costume Store Employee because I did call the Latham, NY store and the girl didn’t find it but she sounded stupid and probably didn’t care.
Here’s the link:
http://www.factorycard.com/vr4-web-site/storeLocatorPage.jsp.vr
Also, make sure you ask them to look the 50% off bin if they have one.
Good luck Steeda, hope you find one.
Steeda…..You saw my pic that i posted, its not all that great of "the King" costume, but it will suffice i guess……
The mask is what makes the costume anyways.
Keep an eye on my eBay auctions. It’s coming… member ID is jhbmw007
i am the king of all kings
http://hometown.aol.com/invaders2/myhomepage/index.html
God bless you Lauretta, that is phenomenal!!! Very cool King indeed!!
Cyrus, thanks for the tip…I searched and theres no stores in NJ, and the ones in the surrounding states are like 5 hours away!!! I may just go to the Art/Crafts store and make my own King costume…I swear to all you chuggnutters…mark my words…………..I WILL BE KING!!
Oh yeah, last call…if anyone in the New Jersey area has a king costume….please email me:
Steeda90GT AT aol dot com
my girlfriend is a manager at a things remebered store so she bought a glass cup from the dollar store ( looks like a kings cup) and she engraved BURGER KING with a crown ( colored) pretty cool looking
i bought it for 50% off at factory card outlet… I was told they also had it full price at Party America if you have one of those in your town… They have one in Lincoln, NE so im sure they are around…getting a little late though…look for me at the Nebrsaka vs. Oklahoma game on ABC… I’ll have chuggnutt on my crown or something!!! Ha ha getting excited…
anyone seen a ronald mcdonald costume out there at a national chain store… buddy has been looking for one…probably easy to make too… anyone made one and have pointers…
All the Party Americas and Factory Card OUtlets and Party Citys around here have been sold out of the King F costumes for a while now. John (my boyfriend, the one who posted the last post by me showing his costume) happened to stumble across a return at a Factory card outlet around here, but other than that, theyve been gone for a while. I wish I would have known about this King craze before it was too late, i would have stocked up on costumes and made a KILLING!
..that homemade mask is sweet, btw, but the eyeholes are really small, I wonder if we should drill them bigger, wouldi t cause any damage?
Here’s the scoop on Factory Card Outlet, from my sister who is a manager there (and consequently got my King Francois ultracheap) – the King Francois costume is a "manager’s special" which means that they had it in stock last year and didn’t sell them, so they are discounted for this year. Apparently FCO didn’t anticipate the hot costume of the year would be King Francois.
As of last week, the FCO in Cincinnati on Glenway had one king costume left.
So last night I decided to just make my own costume, so I took a tri pto the local Walmart and picked up about $30 worth of material:
Dark burgundy material for robe
Gold rope for waist and bling chain
Gold trim for robe sleeves
White trim for cuffs on shirt
Knee high white womans socks
I need to hit the store tonite for some gold material for a shirt, fur material for robe trim, and possibly some puffy material to make the collar.
My mom said she’ll help put this all together and when it’s all said and done it will look BETTER than King Francois.
What is everyone doing for a puffy collar?
I have a white boa, it works great, real puffy.
Hurley,
The white boa is like the thing that wrestlers wore around their neck…like Hulk Hogan? Is it feathered?
yeah just like Hogan but white and it is feathered, but works out great i have a picture from my phone but not sure how to put the link on here
Steeda, i emailed you the picture hopefully you will get it
Thanks Hurley, I got the email. Boa looks great.
Hey everyone,
I got one of John’s masks and it looks great. However, I can’t figure out for the life of me how to attach the head strap. I was going to cut slits of the side to run the strap through, then sew the strap together on the sides, but I don’t think the edges of the mask will support that (the edges are a little thin). Can anyone on this site that has a mask PLEASE tell me how to attach the strap? I’m having a party tonight and need this mask ready to wear. Thanks in advance.
Hey Don,
What I did was to take silicone and use it to adhese John’s mask to the elastic. Although that took a day to dry, so I don’t think that will work for tonight. I also used foam on the forehead and chin to offset the flatness of the mask.
heres my costume let me know what you what you think email me ajussdj@yahoo.com

Those of you still looking for a King Francois costume, I found a red velvet cape in CVS. It only cost me $7.50! I posted of picture of me wearing it here:
http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/6761/king4el.jpg
got johns mask and a homemade costume, big party tomorrow ill post the pics after…..thanx again john!
PHEWWW, well it took 7 HOURS OF NONSTOP WORK, but I did it!!! I haven’t eaten anything since lunchtime today, but I did it!!!
…I made my own King costume and holy freakin hell it puts King Francois to shame. Honestly…not to toot my own horn, but with the materials I got and everything, this costume looks like a freakin movie prop..seriously, it’s that damn good!!
I have the big party tomorrow at the local club, $500 cash giveaway…I can’t wait!! I’ll try to get some pics tomorrow, until then I’m pooped…gonna get some much earned rest now.
Well i got a pic from my friend’s phone, it’s not that great but if anyone wants to see it or can host it for me let me know.
I’m gonna do the fur collar right now.
I can host it for you steeda.. if you can just send it to me via phone. Email me for my phone number. Ill put it up on my website if you would like. I just got my chain for my Bling, and my Boa for the collar. All I have left to do is tack it to the costume. Just a few hours before show time. I hope all this hard work pays off, and i come home with the money.
or hell steeda.. just email me the pic.. i can put it up on another of my sites..
HOLY CRAP!!!! My buddy and I went to the Nebraska Oklahoma Football game and he dressed as Ronald McDonald and I was the King… We took pictures with little kids, college kids, 40 year olds you name it… we were on tv, got our picture taken from the journal star (lincoln’s paper) it was awsome, i got so many messages from people all over the stadium that saw us, we covered the whole 80,000 seat stadium… I guess there were two other Kings out there, one with my exact costume plus a gold ring (king fan was that you) and another guy who made his own mask (guess it was bad)… ill get some pictures up…
I won 200 last night in a costume contest. Paid for my outfit and all my drinks with some to spare. Great night! Thanks for everyone on here for the help! Long Live the King
Well I didn’t take first place, only scored 3rd place…I was a little upset, but all in all it was a great time!! Everyone in the club kept high fiving me and bowing down to me…it was funny. All the bartenders kept telling me I was going to win. At one point the DJ put the spotlight on me and said "The Burger King is in the HOUSE!!! He’s getting laid tonite"
The reaction from everyone was great, the costume was a good hit but people decided that some dude with nails in his head should take first prize and a guy dressed up like a chick with fake boobs should take second place. Oh well. I had a great time and that’s all that counts. They ended up giving me free drinks for the nite.
It was funny because in the middle of the nite another King walked in! He immediately came over to me and shook my hand and gave me praise for my outfit. He was a pretty cool dude.
It was a great nite definitely…LONG LIVE THE KING!!!
ESPN!!! Last night I was drinking with a reporter guy who took Ronald and my picture and said to look on ESPN Page 2 in two weeks that we are going to be on there!!! HELL YEAH!!!!
had the same kind of experience…Downtown everyone was saying "I love your commercials" "Your scare the hell out of me…" Me and Ronald were a huge hit! Took soooooo many pictures with gorgeous women, it was great! After an afterhours party we headed home and stopped by a 24hr McDonlads… Ronald, my buddy who went as Kobiashi (the hot dog guy…[buddy is asain as well]) and I got out and ran around the McDonalds giving high fives to people in probably 15 cars waiting in line… The lady at window one was a little upset and told us to "get the hell outta my paking lot befo I calls the po lease (police)" ha it was great, especailly when we got up to that window to pay and I rolled down the back window and scared the crap out of her… great night and a few more to go… Tonight is a friends bowling league, we’ll see how we do!
I went out dancing in Providence RI all night and my costume seemed to be the highlight of the party. I don’t know how many pics I took and how many people told me it was soooooo awesome.
I have a longer post and a pic of me in the full outfit on my blog.

Long live the King!!!
Hey All,
Just thought I would post yet another Victory for the King. I took first place and won $50 in a costume contest this past Saturday night at Trophys in Nelson, MN. Looks like this Halloween was the year of "The King". Today we are planning on going to McDonald’s for lunch. Should be fun.
Its D-Day! AKA KING DAY
I got a few parties to go to. I’lll let you know how it goes. I think I am going to go to my friends house and just stand outside his window until he notices me!
so… burger king doesn’t make the real "authentic" headpieces that we see on the commercials?? Because that is the only way to go. Anything else would just be imperfected and innaccurate. Even the $500 ones arent the ones I saw on the commercial. I think burger king could make a lot of money by selling the ones seen in tv.
Did anybody else win any contests? I must have posed for about 300 pictures, but lost to a guy that looked like a giant green bean (he was actually a pot leaf, but looked like a damn green bean)
Holy cow!!! The King was just on MOnday Nite Raw!! Jerry "The King" Lawler wore the bkmasks.com mask and ran down the ring and did a move off the top ropes with the mask!!!
Haha, this is great!! Long live the King!!!
Molywhopper, I feel your pain..EVERYONE was all over my costume, yet I only got 3rd place…oh well.
I was the King this year as well. I sculpted my mask out of clay and afterward molded it in mask latex. The top was stuffed with foam so it sat on my head better. The costume was a King Francois, I would have liked to make one from scratch, but I ran out of time… maybe in the future. I did win first place at a party in Pittsburgh and I also won in state college. Not to mention my picture was taken with a billion people.
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b168/eriksmask/halloween-003.gif
Here’s my interpretation of the King. I started with a latex George W. Bush mask and added a Scupley mustache and beard and hair made from EVA foam.

Waiting for more Halloween stories…
So how many people are eBay’ing their costumes now that Halloween’s past? I’m not sure if I’m going to sell mine or keep it for next year…
The Burger King bobbleheads are coming… who’s in for one? I need to figure out what to sell them for.
I will keep mine for next year, hopefully by then there will be an affordable full-headed mask for a decent price.
I also plan to do some modifications to my costume…since I literally did it the nite before I had to rush certain things. One thing is for sure, I dont think I will be getting rid of this costume…too much time/pain/money and memories invloved.
This was literally the best Halloween since being a kid!!
is this what he meant by getting on espn.com? king francois plus bkmasks.com, plus running across the field at an FSU game? go to the bottom left to see what i mean.

Haha check out the window decal I made:
http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/jhbmw007/king_decals/
That shit’s going on my car
No the espn.com thing was in Lincoln, NE… he told me that we would be on ESPN.COM PAGE 2 in two weeks…we (ronald and I) we drinking at the bar with this guy and took our picture with him…
Holloween story… It was a bust… Ronald and I were recognized everywhere and so many people said "you should win" "oh I hope you win" etc… but when it came down too it we didnt have enough friends in the crowd to take it… the elephant from Seasame street won (costume was amazing) Milli Vanilli got second and some sexy girlscout got third (wasnt that sexy) there were probably 30 in the contest oh well… still took picture with hundreds of people and I keep hearing people at work etc… did you hear about those two guys that were dressed up like ronald mcdonald and the king running around at the game… the king was chasing ronald it was hilarious… ha ha it was me!!! no regrets, didnt win anything but people will be talking about it forever!!! get pictures up soon…

When in costume I rode with my group of friends on the PSU bus. There was a group of drunken frat boys who literally chased down the bus to get my attention and tell me that I they Love my commercials. I literally ended up stopping traffic, so is this how it feels to be a celebrity.
Also here is a side view of the mask; I forgot to mention that it covers my entire head not just the front of my face.

Hi I work in a sports bar and thought it would be great to have my husband dress like the king for our monday night football, I was lucky and got the mask for 9.99 and johns bling for 6.95 w/shipping. My husband is a shy guy and played in the canadian football league for 12 yrs. he is 6’5 and over 300 lbs. I made his costume for under 20 bucks from items i found at the thrift stores, the king consumed all my waking thougthts for 3 weeks. including following all your links. (thanks to all of you) the costume came out great!!!!!!!! i’VE WORKED AT THIS BAR FOR 8 YEARS. my husband came in and everyone thought he looked great. the owners son was the cook and I got in an arguement with him, his dad comes in and starts giving me shit. I QUIT WORKING ON THE SPOT AND THE KING AND I LEFT!!! I’m sure it’s for the best but damn my husband looked good as the king. thanks again to all of you for the pictures,links and support. Linda
Here’s my custom made King outfit (image hosted thanks to Nate)

Hey everyone,
I was just looking on ebay and stumbled across a ton of these bkmasks. I think this one looks promising.

C’mon, it’s a decal of the King pissing on a McDonald’s logo! That’s freakin hilarious! I’ve been driving around with it on the back of my car. I should tag them all over the windows of the McDonald’s by me. lol

Oh John, you’re being so ridiculous now. I know that you are "User: buythedecal!" because of your IP address 24.110.85.161 . If you’re going to come to My Jon’s site and spam so that *YOU* can profit, you should work out some profit sharing with him. He’s been more than kind to let you have your little chat forum, but continously spamming with YOUR auctions is beyond stupid. There are ebay forums just for that.
–Jon’s wife
Fair enough. I wasn’t trying to pull one off on anyone because I thought it was pretty obvious everyone would know it’s me. And pretty funny the guy right before me did the same thing. I won’t pimp anymore of my auctions on here- if you hadn’t notice this thread’s barely alive anymore. I think it’s time to retire from here myself indeed. Signing off: This one’s for you!
Hugs and Kisses from the KING!
