Won't someone think of the poor working class furries? A fur suit can already cost 10 or 20 grand. Now they're going to have to add cyborg body parts to the mix as well? Talk about gentrification!

Gerontofication, in this case.

I'm not in that community myself, but from what I hear a high quality for suit can cost $10-20k. Not sure what differences in construction may exist between those and what you made. But some artists definitely make decent livings making them.

Cooling systems, animatronics, durability.

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

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.
