The X-Fluke collector's edition mask is officially retired. The final copy was produced in early January and with that the edition is no more. Big thanks go out to the 18 collectors who who each own a copy of the Flukester!
The X-Fluke was a replica of the X-Files Flukeman monster. Originally introduced back in 1998 as the Devil's Workshop's fourth collector's edition mask, the X-Fluke was made available in both a standard and deluxe edition which was produced with acrylic eyes. From 1998-2000, 10 of the 18 copies were produced and sold. These numbers reflect 2 deluxe editions and 8 standard edition copies.

The first variation featured pupil-less yellow eyes. The second variation featured red eyes with pupils. The last and final copy to be produced featured yellow eyes similar to the original release.
