2 more feet and it could have been life-sized. Don't know how much it would cost then.

On a serious note, I'm not buying this. My parents would kill me and I have nowhere to put it.

This seems like the kind of ridiculous thing I would buy--and use. Too bad it's got a hefty price tag. ^^;

You can work it out! Most of the costs would vary with the area of the skin: materials costs, handling difficulty. Some things would be higher: stuffing and transport are volume, and the skin would need to be thicker.

The area ratio is the square of the linear ratio, and 210cm is 1.4 times 150cm. Call it sqrt(2), double it and add some... a thousand, give-or-take? If you factored in your own labour costs it'd be about what it would cost you to make it yourself, I'd guess.

If I were rich and had room, that Snorlax doll would have been used as a standing decoration for my bedroom.

Ah GameFreak, manufacture of all things Pokemon. You definitely need a big room to put Snorlax. But he seems a little small by Western standards. Make him any bigger than he'll be as costly as a small bed.

Block your path? Enough for you to fall on to it.
