Not that it would be a good idea, but imagine waking up from surgery to your doctor wearing the mask with the gorilla design on it? Talk about waking up to a different world! In all seriousness though, being able to bring something different to the table is why the masks from Boon are so impressive. Achieving a unique design will be the biggest reason why a following will continue to build.
