He isn't Mattel. He's one dude, with no major manufacturing anything, who painstakingly put together this thing bit by bit, by hand, sculping the bits that needed to be sculped, and did it all over an existing action figure which means he had constraints to work with as far as what could go where.

The hair is all hand-braided from the looks of it, and the armor is a custom fit too.

This isn't a mass-produced product, this is less of an action figure and more of a poseable statue of sorts, and by all means for the amount of time and effort that went into designing it and putting the thing together, $1k is -not- too much to ask. You may not pay it, you make think it's excessive, but it's not a toy, it's a work of art.

And trust me when I say there are people out there that would easily drop that much on having something like that. This blows a figureprint right out of the water.
