Some of those characters are awesome, especially the casshan one.

Some really inspired choices there, especially with the spot-on pairings of Ryu/Tekkaman, Hayate/Casshern, and Jann Lee/Polymar (someone should get a cookie for that one), not to mention shoehorning someone like Gold Lightan in via Raidou. It almost looks like you are getting guest characters, given how well everything meshes together. Dare I say that the males actually fared better than the females here?

I suppose this is the closest we'll be getting to a Tatsunoko vs. Capcom followup, too. Crying or Very sad And alas, no SoulTaker love from Tatsunoko. Again. (Bayman could've rocked it well.)

This is pretty much how I felt about the pack. The guys are great, though I would've preferred Hayabusa as Karas or Ken (Gatchaman is mysteriously absent), but Tekkaman is a fine choice too, while most of the girls costumes felt rather underwhelming. I really like Nyotengu and Marie Rose as Doronjo and Leopard, and Kasumi/P4 as the Yatterman duo at least looks good (but why wasn't Eliot Yatterman 1!?), as does Momiji (though it's a little too similar to Nyo and MR).

The rest feel either too bland to me or downright bad. I think LeiFang got the worst.

I guess this custom pack is more expensive than the main game.

That's way too expensive for a bunch of silly costumes.

It's the perennial argument with DOA5U/LR's costumes, which tend to be a dollar more for licensed ones, as well. Personally, while they are a bit more pricy than your standard fare, the level of quality and detail put into them make the price both a little more justifiable and easier to swallow. You actually do save a decent amount by going with the pack option spoiler[(which seemed discounted more in the past, but what have you…)].

Pretty laughable that they are able to find people that shell out this money in the first place.

The costumes look awesome and really well-made, but $32.00 (U.S.) seems pretty steep. At least one will be able to save $8.00 by buying all 16 costumes in eight pairs, if I interpreted that correctly.

Yeah. I think a better price would be $.25/costume. Heck, I wish was paying $.99/episode when I buy a "Pawn Stars" episode from Amazon.
