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

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.
Iām not part of that community, but Iāve built props for advertisements and museum installations; durability and reliability are where most of the money is, especially in low volume products.
