So it's basically 1,985 dollars for full body swim suit? That is Japan for you, if it exists, it can be made.

Even if it's triple, if not quad triple the price of a what it's actually worth.

Closer to 10x the going price for a wetsuit.

For that price, it should at LEAST mold your body into the impossibly thin shapes of Asuka, Rei, or Shinji.

And why did they apply a gradient shade to Asuka's breast cups? It just makes the whole effect look cheap.

For about $1000 you can get a full motorcycle suit based on the costumes from Tron Legacy so I think you might be right. That includes Leather jacket ,gloves,pants and boots all with CE Approved Body Armor.
