Mmhmm. A nice head is 2kUSD or more. A whole custom suit starts at maybe 10, 15k, and can easily exceed 20.

WoodScientist@lemmy.world 1 day agoI’m not in that community myself, but from what I hear a high quality for suit can cost $10-20k. Not sure what differences in construction may exist between those and what you made. But some artists definitely make decent livings making them.

I can believe it for the head. I had to build a horse head the next year and it was hard as fuck.

Cooling systems, animatronics, durability.
I’m not part of that community, but I’ve built props for advertisements and museum installations; durability and reliability are where most of the money is, especially in low volume products.
