@TekkenGamercom that thing is AMAZING but $450 is a lot of dollars.

Although fans are excited about the jacket, you can see that the price tag is definitely one of the main talking points.
The price not really being an issue, some fans would love to see the jacket released in a different variety, with other character versions made available for purchase.
@TekkenGamercom It's described as "Heihachi version". I hope they will make "Yoshimitsu version"! I would buy instantly.

May Just Be Worth It
The initial announcement of the jacket and its price seemed to split the community in half. $449.00 for a jacket is certainly not cheap. However, upon further inspection it’s definitely more than just a jacket. The piece is a limited edition collectible item, with only 1000 available worldwide. With luxurious satin and intricate embroidery, the item of clothing resembles that of a high quality fashion product. On top of all this, the jacket is reversible with two detailed and opposing designs.
The jacket is certainly worth investing in if you can, and if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one you can rest assured that you’ll possess a piece of Tekken history.
How do you feel about the jacket and its price tag? Will you be purchasing one? What character version would you like to see?
