I have asked some friends where they got their roaches. They are really nice, custom made and run over $1000. Is this typical? I have also seen some roaches at a local store that cost about $400. What is the difference?

What are the recommended base sizes? What about the porky hair? What is the ideal length for the porky hair? How can I tell if the base is well made?

Any pointers would be a great help.

indn,

I recommend a 14-15 inch roach with 7-inch hair upfront. A tight yarn base is the norm nowadays. A hair base is much more expensive.

PM powwowbum49 for his price list. He can make any style and color you want.
