While I definitely see the appeal of it, I'd really like to see more "less limited, more affordable" or even "more toyetic" versions of a lot of the prop replica stuff out there. Stuff that bridges the gap like the "Ultimate FX" lightsabers from Hasbro. Or items that are genuinely more like "costume accessories" than just "hang on your mantle pieces." (Like a lot of the video game weapons are impractically heavy to carry around, being made of polystone or whatever).

I mean, I don't cosplay myself, but I'd still love to have some of the weapons from say, the Mass Effect series to "play" with.
