These Superhero Suits Cost $200,000


Famed Japanese anime Science Ninja Team Gatchaman is coming to the big screen. And it’s bringing new Gatchaman suits with it. Those G-suits don’t come cheap!

According to Japanese site Sanspo, the suits took one year to make, from concept to final outfit. The filmmakers needed costumes that not only looked good, but also that were also easy for the actors to move in for the action scenes.

The suits cost ¥20 million, which is about $200,000. Granted, that total includes all five suits, meaning each one only cost $U40,000. Only!

Compare how the suits stack up to the original anime:

The original Science Ninja Team Gatchaman anime appeared on Japanese TV in the early 1970s. Several of the characters also appeared in fighting game Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.

The upcoming live-action version, titled Gatchaman, opens in Japan on August 24.
