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

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

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

Now on to the catalog pages...
