talk about luck of the draw. this was one of my first times to purchase on Etsy and I don't think it could have gone better. seller was helpful and the item arrived on time, safely. it's a big plastic helmet, so, yeah, I was a bit concerned about shipping, but no worries. so now either this Feb or some other date (damn you, COVID-19), Galveston Mardi Gras and then other people are gonna bask in the awesomeness of this mask. thanks, GrumpyAlison!
