1996 Don Post Studios Catalog

The 1996 catalog featured 17 new masks within it's line-up, as well as a handful of new props.

At this point in the history of the company, I personally felt that the quality of the props where much better than that of the masks. It's a pretty fair statement considering the difference in the price points between the masks and props.
