1/1 Scale Replica ZX Belt Announced
 

Those itching for a Complete Selection ZX Belt, Toeihero.net has announced the next best thing is coming.

An adult scale prop replica ZX Belt will be released this November. Pre orders will be going up in July 1st and a custom display pedestal will be included

The catch? This prop replica ZX Belt will command a whopping price tag of 65,000 yen!(That’s 681 USD!!!!)

750, after you deal with shipping, for a belt.. that doesn't do anything. No, no thank you :eyebrow

I know this board has it's share of crazies but…

Is anyone crazy enough to bite on this? And if so…can I borrow a few bucks?:lol

Has anyone on this board even watched the series.

It wasn't a series. Just a movie and then a storyline in the "Kamen Rider Spirits" manga

My reaction upon finding out that this belt is going to cost 600$:

So is this the most expensive Rider anything that's come out for collectors?

I Know they released that SIC Kuuga statute that cost 200$.

actually i watched episode 1 of every kamen rider show before watching decade

just for the ill used reference as the only legit rider to appear was wataru XD

Not even the old CS belts went for that kind of pricepoint and they did SO much more.Maybe the price is going into the pedestal,anyone have any idea what it could be made of for that price?

My reaction to whom ever buy this:
(FYI, i couldn't find any good quality clips of this so this will work for now)

The frozen tears of joy of a free-range alpaca?

$600 for a replica belt from a Japanese TV show from 1984, dose it a lest let me turn into ZX?

It's a prop replica of a belt.
I'm not even a costume maker, but I'm damn skippy you could make the entire ZX suit for $600 :lol

Yeah probably. My question is: Why ZX? Why not Ichigo?

Because ZX is a ninja! :p

call that a major waste lol

It's because he didn't have his own show that it's this much. Yes the price is outrageous we have to understand the narrow demand for something like this. There's enough demand out there for it to be produced, but not for an entire mass production run. Lower run = higher cost to produce the more limited quantity.

And NO, I am not one of the crazies who could or would buy something like this. I draw the line at $400 robot cars :D

As a transformer fan I understand that lower production run = higher cost. But it's my understanding that we haven't EVER seen anything go for this kind of money before. And considering it literally does nothing, no electronics, no moving parts. It begs the question why even make it in the first place, especially if they felt not very many were going to buy in the first place.
Why not create a prop replica of Ichigo or Nigo's belt and sell that to the many people who would want that?
More power to them I guess.. it just doesn't seem to make very good sense to me is all.

That's cool. ZX is cool.
That said, I could just draw a picture of the belt and it would do the same for me, and wouldn't cost a thousandth of the price.

Are you just in the habit of insulting people who have a difference of opinion and tastes than you do?

Who cares what people do with their money. Some would say it's a waste if you buy a plastic toy.

a "made to order" belt huh? different...

Not really. Recent Complete Selections have all been made to order.
