Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

Ok everyone. Update from Kato

After working over the last few weeks on the coat and in his tireless effort to make it as screen accurate for us as possible - Kato has determined that the cost of the coat will be higher than initially anticipated. The fact that is fully lined (including in the sleeves, and has 3 pleats, along with the screen accurate button production) all make this much more complex than the Blazer which is being offered for $200.

As such, the revised estimate for the coat is $300 (from initial estimate of $250, which was a guideline in any case. This $300 estimate may decrease/increase slightly depending on final version).

Full set buyers will of course get a $50 discount on the final price as discussed before.


In terms of the timing of his projects, Kato has clarified the following:
1. Kato is going to take a short break from the Joker project while he works on Neo and Walking Dead outfits. This should suit most of us fine as we need to save money for the coats :p.

2. After that he will go back to the Joker coat (both 1/6 for us and 1/3 for Bobby).

3. After Joker project is complete, he will proceed to complete his James Bond Casino Royale project.

This doesn't seem very fair Umair. Why is our project being put on hold? It's so close to being complete!

:exactly:..i'd rather the coat that's "now costing us more" not be delayed due to another project.

I need to take a short break to refresh my emotion on Joker project. Besides, I believe most people maybe need some time to save their money as well.

In fact, I started Neo project a bit earlier than Joker, it should be Neo being postponed (for a long time) rather than Joker actually.:lol I just go back to this project for a short while.

I agree with my fellow freaks who posted above.

Edit: Do whatever you want. It's been like that anyways. However:

How short is this break? Are you going back to our project until you completely finish those other 2 projects?

I'm sorry for the last we people that they can't get the coats sooner that thought, but to put a more positive note on Kato this suites me down better.
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

If you take a break that would be a good for me. I have spent thousands this year on 1/6 and need to take a break to. I am sure everyone is in the same boat.

But if you do any Good the Bad and the Ugly cloths in the next few months (hint hint hint) then count me in. Never to broke for that.
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

I'm easy either way, but is it possible even if the final coats aren't made for a little while, that we can get a price cemented in? Would prefer to pay before the dollar keeps dropping LOL :p
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

Personally i could use the a month or two gap - wallet needs a breather.
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

The break suits me also to be fair :monkey3
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

I tend to agree also. Seeing as the coat is now a little more expensive I don't particularly want a delay due to newer projects.
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

Well the Neo is actually an older project than this one technically. But I can understand both sides
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!

Wow, thats a tough price, but after the jacket I was expecting something like this. A month or two would really help to afford this... I wouldnt even mind waiting longer...
 
Re: *UPDATED* Kato 1/6 Laughing Man Outfit - Sports Jacket Pre-Order now Up!
