An individual opens his welding tool kit and prepares to work in a video posted on March 2, 2022. In the next shot, we see a full mask covering the person’s face as the automatic helmet closes on his face.
Fans are asking where they, too, can get one in the comments section under the video. As soon as the school posted another TikTok, it also revealed that the mask was voice-activated. It sends fans into an even larger frenzy.
Superhero Mask reacted by the user
There were questions about where they could get the real-life Iron Mask, and others wanted to know where they could get it.
In a TikTok video, an anonymous user asked how’s the visibility when you’re welding? “Awesome hood I would just like to be able to see like normal.”

As a response, the creator said the mask was “pretty solid on visibility.”
It was exciting to see other TikTokers’ reactions to the helmet. One user wrote: “BABE I need that welding helmet in my life.”
When a fan asked the academy where it got the Iron Man helmet, they explained that it wasn’t designed for welding. Instead, they purchased an automated mask from a company and replaced the existing lenses with new ones that were designed specifically for the purpose of protecting the individual wearing the mask.
Where can you purchase it?
Creators of the Iron Man helmet have responded to multiple questions from fans asking where to acquire them.
The creator responded to one fan by writing: “Google ‘iron man Mach 5’ and you’ll find a dealer.”
Using Google, you can find JoeToys as the seller of Iron Man Mach 5
The masks are all distributed at the time of this writing. The seller actually mentions that there are no longer any MK5 helmets available for purchase from the seller due to the current volume of orders. Our other products are still available for purchase.
It will come up, but they will get bought out quickly, mentioned the TikTok developer in another comment. “We waited almost six months for this.”
