Its weird before Hot Toys made Returns Bats I just thought the Returns logo was used for 89 Batman movie.

they are the same thing just flipped/mirrored?
Don't mean to stir any pots, but as a maker of things, I'm trying to work out the actual cost to make a cape:
1. Research (time spent).
2. Accurate pattern drafting and cutting.
3. Materials sourcing -- either time spent or cost of travel.
4. Travel time/cost or shipping cost to obtain material. (see above)
5. Cost of material and any consumables (i.e. thread?).
6. Prototyping.
7. Labour for finished product. (Accurate cuts -- plus is there stitching involved?)
Low volume sales make low cost production unprofitable.
Fifty to sixty bucks does sound steep for a piece of cloth, but it's a niche product for your niche product that someone has to make by hand.
Were I in the same position as Mr. Meis, I probably wouldn't bother doing it for less.
I agree that it's expensive, but I can't see why anyone would make and sell these for less.
Says their waiting for more info from suppliers, anyone else had one from FP yet?
DX09 will always be special to me. I don't regret making my spare DX09 more BD

Good call man, It's a very impressive figure isn't it?
I know it's a lot of hassle sending stuff back, but when you get that pristine new replacement body you will be glad you did. I did it with the old DX02 and was glad I did despite all the hassle and you know Timcent will get it sorted properly for you.. And it is Batman Returns after all.
