It's perfectly fair, but it doesn't feel like it. The "very discerning clientele" and the "cheap cosplay" demographics are covered, but not the vast majority of prop collectors. No one likes to feel left out. And casual visitors to Spirit looking to throw together a costume won't be buying this at $150. Most of them won't even recognize it.

Well, I'll tell ya what. If I can help you in any way, hit me up by PM. I'll direct you to upcoming sales or even make one up for you if I have to!
Let me know what you like, I'll look out for you.

Heard, bro. All good. Like I said, they check a box. I think they're fun; just drawing the hard line between the two is all.All great points.
Ry, I appreciate you chiming in here. You know you don’t have to defend the Paragon Goggles. Any moron with half a brain can tell the difference between the toy and a museum quality piece.
Now, let me take a minute to defend my position. I suppose I justify how much I spend by how much I enjoy the franchise. Don’t get me wrong, I like JP very much, but I don’t love it. Now take my buddy Tony. It’s his top favorite franchise. HE is Paragons target audience, not me. All I want is a fun toy to play with. If a kid comes over and accidentally breaks it, I won’t cry.
Now, if it were MiB, well, Armando would be shelling out the big bucks.
Dang it! I’ve got to get a JP worker helmet!Even limited to just imagery, the Paragon product appears notably superior...
I couldn't be more comfortable with my purchase.
And it completes my Paragon JP collection!

There were literally Burger King goggles. So that bumps Spirit's goggles to mid-tier by default. Problem solvedAnd I think calling them happy meal goggles is a bit disingenuous
Seeing coupons from them in my email now.For 150.00 it’s close enough for me! Now when do they issue those 20% off coupons…?
Still not available.Seeing them in my email now.
Make or break on the cane is if the mosquito is 3d or 2d.
Good points...At the end of the day 1 is a fun "toy" that takes zero screen accuracy into account, while the other is a perfect "replica" that gives you what you see on screen at a specific price point.
there does exist a 3rd option....the one where you make it yourself to how you you want it. The DIY happy path.
My two cents lol
