dannng that shirt looks nice. So detailed.

Hey Kato
just wondering, did you figure out a material suitable for that band around his arm? I don't know how necessary it is since I will OF COURSE pose him with your jacket lol.

I think it should be a elastic band:exactly:
 
Haven't posted in this thread yet, but this is truely shaping up to be one of *the* best customs yet IMO. Amazing work by everybody involved.
That black shirt looks so great, I don't know what I'd need it for, but somehow I want it. :lol
 
Kato + Daniel = pure awesomeness. You guys should start your own company.
 
hey everyone,
I wanted to know the interest on this:

Kato has graciously offered to also do the Black dress shirt that Morpheus wears.
As you can see from the pics (bottom):

It's pretty amazing and expertly tailored.
However, this was not originally budgeted into the targeted price I had ($750).
The one that is going to be included in the original $750 version is a standard black dress shirt that I found (believe me it's hard to find the right things in bulk). The price was cheap for it but I judged the quality to be pretty good and it helped keep the cost of the whole figure down. I also figured that the CRITICAL aspects of the figure that needed to be KATO-tailored were the coat and vest/waistcoat and pants.

Therefore, KATO's Black shirt version will be an OPTIONAL UPGRADE for $100 (this is the exact price he is charging me).
Also updates on the black shirt
Kato told me the black shirt is actually harder to make than the vest and pants but the price is slightly lower for us :)
He also said:
It looks much better now as I have removed the velcro tape and change it into the finest snap button for the front closure. I have added a pair of white arms band on the sleeve too

Raymond will take pictures of BOTH versions (I will ask him in one sec lol) so you guys can see the difference at Early Preorders.
The OPTIONAL KATO BLACK SHIRT upgrade will ONLY be available to combiner during the Early Preorder. You may be able to order it separately afterward but that is up to Kato.

Let me know what you guys think,

once again, the KATO Black Shirt is only an OPTIONAL upgrade so I'm not raising the price of the full figure for the regular version. If you want the upgrade, the option will be available during the Early Preorder .

That is some impressive hiding of the snaps Kato :clap, I usually take mine off and just glue the shirt closed on my customs because they look terrible.
