You also get the bonus factor from it being made by skilled Numenorean smiths who had access to techniques used by the Noldor and whatnot. Maybe it was mithril or something too. Dunno, but it's not a huge ask to suspend disbelief on this one.

It looks cheap and poorly made, though. With this budget, they could have just made scale armor that actually looks like scale armor. Especially for prominent characters.

They had SO much money, and I bet if they went to any fantasy festival or a decent larp and said "who wants to make us a full-sized scale armor for 5000 bucks and a mention in the credits of LotR" they would have to break up the resulting rush of volunteers.

Yeah, I hope the Noldor could produce something better than this cheap plastic looking piece of trash shown here.
