Is this the black and white one he released last year with the characters in like three or four rows? Been a while since I’ve seen it.

Looks like 700 of each set and 1000 of each individual, unless they restock?
Correction 3000 of the middle finger mask.

A set of the 7 middle finger masks at different locations would have been a nice option.

is it essentially a timed edition through 6/27, or are there a finite number of masks that will be made? none of the articles really say specifically
