These will definitely be above most people's price range, I know for sure. I don't yet know what that price will be, but knowing to the penny what I put into developing this prototype, then considering additional materials and labor to build more of them, plus the custom display base, finish work, and steel blades... it's definitely on the level of ultra high-end collectible. This is also a fairly thick silicone glove along the forearm and in certain areas due to having to support the attachment points for the resin exoskeleton (and steel blades eventually) so it uses much more materials than the average silicone glove.Again, my goal with this was to produce my dream prop, and as such we pushed the limits to make sure it is top quality. I feel like that's been achieved - and quality doesn't come cheap.Additionally, any that I make available will be created first at my expense, then offered to a few collectors. No pre-order stuff. I've been on the wrong side of enough deals in this hobby (waiting months/years for something) to know that tends to not work out very well. I want any piece I make to be in hand ready to ship before I offer it up. I'm glad to see other folks in the hobby are taking that stance as well. Keeps the stress levels lower for both maker and collector. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"
