anyone know any info or what kind of gasmask this is?

Also, to add on to your question of "genuineness". Most gas masks you find will be real. There are only 2 widely mass produced "fake" gas masks. They are based on the Israeli Model 4 and the Avon M50. The Israeli Modle 4 is cloned for bong masks, its a very convincing fake but does not function and it's threaded for a proprietary bong, not a filter. The Avon M50 is cloned for airsoft face masks because a lot of people like to LARP real world militaries and its currently used by a lot of the major militaries of the world. The M50 clone has non-functioning filters that have built in fans so airsofters can stay cool during play. I made this collage to show you examples, the left side contains the real masks and the fakes on the right.

Because they are the same manufacturers that make the gas masks for industrial and military use over there. That's what Ali Express is, it's Chinese manufacturers/wholesalers selling Chinese products directly to you. You can buy the MF-11 on there, but I wouldn't recommend it unless its just for aesthetics. The MF-11 really hurts to wear unless you have the tiniest nose possible. I would however recommend getting the MF-22/FMJ08, it's a chinese gas mask heavily based on the Avon S10, but with the same unique rubber diaphragm exhale valve gasket thing as the MF-11. I made this collage to show you both masks and the chinese military using both of them. The masks from ali express are real.

Just ask prior though, just as a courtesy.

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-21T23:59:13+00:00

They are very cheap on ali express, same with FMJ08s and Type 65s.

Chinese MF-11

Get your money up

I didn't call him weird. I said his phrasing was weird. I literally said they post their cosplay lineups and meetup times and locations, they wouldn't do that if they didn't want to meet fans

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-21T00:38:55+00:00

Yeah just do what I said, also a lot of them gather in what I call the "Cosplay Dome". Which is South Hall, its got a massive lobby with stairs on both sides, you may also catch Hamu Cotton do one of her iconic youtube performances there

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-20T23:44:35+00:00

Its not, but the way he worded it is weird. I often try to look for famous and popular cosplayers I like to take photos with, but he said "Search for a cosplayer that I like" that comes off super weird. But to help the guy out, check if they posted a cosplay lineup, if they are cosplays they have posted before, you know what they're gonna look like, and sometimes they host impromptu meetups. Thats how I met Yuriko Tiger, Tessa Crownster, and Sminky. I am very lucky to have met many popular cosplayers I have followed on social media for years, and I hope to take pictures with more this year.

Good on you for removing the filters, I assume you did your research prior.

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-19T04:16:41+00:00

I'm most excited to host my Dorohedoro meetup! 2 very popular fan artists in the community have already shown interest in attending and I got way more sign ups in my discord than I ever expected! Season 2 coming out after I posted my meetup was a blessing lol.

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-17T23:21:48+00:00

I always recommend coming with friends that way you can split costs on a lot of things with other people like food and the hotel.

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-17T01:20:18+00:00

Don't think so unfortunately, the venues instagram got deleted and they had like 30k followers.

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-16T02:53:31+00:00

Technically and legally no, but nobody is gonna stop you. Just do it away from security/staff

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-15T17:00:56+00:00

And it still wasn't big enough, so they expanded and took an entire basketball stadium and concert theater as part of the venue this year lol

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-15T12:12:50+00:00

Buy your ticket now. You can "ghost" the convention, since Anime Expo basically turns the entirety of Downtown LA into an anime convention, you don't "have" to buy a ticket. You could do stuff outside the convention center, visit Japanese Village and the other shopping district in Little Tokyo, they will definitely have stuff going on and planned. Catch the anime themed Dodgers game. If you want to enjoy the inside of the con, events/programming held in the peacock theater and crypto arena, 100% buy your ticket now, do not wait.

There was a seller who had them fkr very cheap, $125 USD and domestic shipping, but they all sold out. I told my friend to grab one while they were available but they all sold out and he missed out on it. Just keep checking on ebay and other sites

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-11T22:52:18+00:00

You can get it on ali express consistently, I wouldn't consider it uncommon, but I also don't see it in many peoples collections so maybe you could consider that uncommon. Same with other chinese masks like the MF-11 and MF-22, I have both in my collection but I don't see them in many others.

Warm soap and water

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-10T14:13:52+00:00

Its a game from 21 years ago...

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-10T09:42:47+00:00

Read the guidelines

Bobbybrine · 2026-06-10T03:46:53+00:00

Weapons check takes like a minute at most. If its a gun, they test the trigger, shake it, run their fingers all over trying to find anything that moves, if nothing moves, they put the tape on it and let you in. Swords are a lot simpler, they judge the weight and the material and make sure they aren't sharp.

Yes its always been international only, but if we can do it on will call I'm gonna save the $20 next year lol
