Huh. I own the art book (EIKO ON COPPOLA) of those costumes; it's one of the great drool-inducing costume flicks. Pity about the script and the casting.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I checked - I have one picture of the red armor, with the gold gown thing and gold boots next to it. I took five pictures of the Tucker (I had never seen one for real before.)
Want me to send you the picture? (The stuff was all behind a glass case, so the pictures in your art book are much better, I'm sure.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I saw Pylea. It was about the size of my head.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I touched Angel's convertible. It was about the size of a car.

I bounced on Inara's bed. It wasn't as sticky as I thought it would be.

Thank you for the offer, Tommyrot, but I'm really only interested in the dresses, which I have big droolworthy pictures of.
Was Pylea a matte painting, Allyson? I've completely forgotten. And snerk about the bed.

It was a sculpture, Betsy. So weird!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You know, television and movie props are strangely disappointing up close,
This is probably why the LoTR cast kept going on and on about the detail on their weapons and armor. "It's got little sigils on it that you can't even see on the screen!"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I saw Chingachkook's blue war club--it has little blue-painted metal strap-thingies holding the three pieces of it together, and it's just painted plywood! And not even pre-Revolutionary plywood, at that.

I don't know Vengeance Unlimited. Looks interesting.
Made me think of G v. E, but I can't recommend that to anyone, since I found it boring.
