John/TMP sold a few custom made suits, you had to meet a few basic criteria - first of all, you had to be willing to cough up $6000...you had to be around 6'-6'2" & 200-225/lbs, and TMP really is into trying to help kids, so they encouraged all of us who got a suit to 'give back' ..aka make a few guest appearances to local childrens hospitals and kid related events. Mine is 'battled damaged', and I am further customizing it with a 'real life' arc reactor replica, motorized helmet lift, and voice simulator ...sometimes boys, we all just have to embrace the kid in all of us! hah Hey guys…just a little FYI.

But, I know, reasoning is a higher function. ;) Well, the link I posted said $2000, and the suit is made of fiberglass, so sounds more reasonable than $20,000.

Or maybe he has decided to ignore the Recession and not participate in it. Maybe he got more that $20,000 to tour with his Iron Man armor.
