    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.
