I bought my Date Masamune here for $140 shipped:Eli26 said:There goes any chance of me getting this figure. This would be the first figure (outside a PF, statue, or Transformer) that I would be willing to pay more than 100 US for, perhaps even 200 US. But 600 US?! No thank you! As nice as it is I can get 2 nice Premium Format pieces with that kind of dough.

That's the international version. the exclusive Japan Deluxe version comes with more accessories and a backdrop but is essentially the same figure minus the Bow, arrows, sword and Bow stands, armor stand, storage box, flag, and silk backdrop. The only major difference between the two figures is that the head sculpt is different on the Japan Deluxe version.
However, the international version comes with two Heads to chose from.
To give you an idea, here are auctions for the two different sets so you can see the differences in the two, I wouldn't recommend buying from these sellers, it's just to give you an idea:

To answer your other questions, yes the mustache is real hair (maybe it's synthetic, but I can't tell the difference) and the swords and scabbards are made out of real metal with fabric wrapping around the handles and scabbards.
