Re: Reynold's Deadpool version faceshield and full suit (collab with Yepiamzombie)
I assume they are right because they have friends in the industry.

This is accurate. I've been told by two people who were a part of costuming for Civil War that the Deadpool suit was around 56,000 per suit to the best of their knowledge.That's a great anecdote, but I'm pretty sure Justin's misremembering the number of 0's he was told about the suit's cost. I worked on some if the suits for Civil War, and I'm friends with the lead fabricator of Deadpool's suits (who has also praised El Fett's work. These supersuits usually run between 20,000 and 80,000 each for principal photography. There's no way Film Illusions would have won the bid for Deadpool if they asked Fox for a half-million per suit when every other specialty costume shop delivers for a tenth of that. I'm positive the real figure was $60,000.
So yes, El Fett is providing a superb deal on these suits, but not one where he's pricing his labor at a fraction of a percentage point of what professionals earn.
