After Sam released his limited run of 20 Shape 08 masks last January, there was a demand for a Kirk to go along with it. He did 20 and those who bought Shapes were offered the chance to buy the matching number Kirk. Money was tight with me at that time so I had to pass but a few months later I was able to get my hands on one of Sam's prototypes. Then about 7 months later the Kirk with the matching number to my Shape (20 - the final copy of the run) popped up for sale so I snagged it.
