That looks absolutely beautiful. And the movability in the video seems smooth and very comfortable.I can understand the "heartbreak" of spending so much time, work and money on this project only to find out versions from the movie mold will supposedly be available one day. You should feel proud of your results though and know that it was all made possible by your very own efforts. From all the research and development to working with the sculptor, etc., you've produced a phenomenal, high-end replica. I understand the want to have something straight from the original source, but I'd find it far more satisfying and rewarding to know you put forth all your resources and efforts into this piece. There are people out there who will totally appreciate this, so I wouldn't worry about not making any sales if you plan to offer any to collectors. I'm sure we've all read comments like "why would anyone want a fan-made replica when they can have one from the real deal". This is a prime example to answer that question. The physical and financial work you've put into this project speaks for itself. Big kudos to the sculptor as well. You should both be proud.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndThanks, Crash! I really appreciate the support. That's exactly what I needed to hear, and all the other coments have really motivated me again. I'm excited to start building the second one and posting the in progress pics. Eventually, completing the full New Nightmare inspired costume!
