Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &
Well you could say the same thing about premium Intel processors which cost $1000+. The material they are build cost around $10. But what you pay is the final product which includes the R&D, manufacturing process, and materials.
In Kato's case, the R&D and manufacturing is what makes the whole difference, and IMO worths the price... As I said before, you'll not get another 1/6 suit as accurate and good looking as the one Kato made. Actually most of the suits I have seen looks ridiculous, not worth to display that way. In such case I'd get another batman's body and display the Bruce Wayne head as in TDK Hong Kong scene. Rather than make Bruce look like if he were no neck and drunk..
That maybe true and I don't mean to crap on the product cause it really is a nice suit, the guys talented for sure. However nice the suit is its just about 10 grams of fabric, material wise its worth about 5-10 dollars tops. I realize the guy puts alot of time into making such a small item and that time and talent should be payed for, but there comes a point when things get ridiculus and this is it, at least for me.
From just briefly looking at the thread, like 20 people were interested but only 1 or 2 guys are actually gunna buy it. How is it worth paying about 700 bucks for a suit for a figure when the whole box set for the dx12 was 240 dollars. Thats like buying gold rims for a kia I don't know maybe its just me.
