I believe it is, at least for Firefly. Low budget and existing sci-fi armor the team had access to.
For anyone who doesn’t know, a deep dive into re-used props and costumes in movies can be a pretty cool and uselessly informative way to kill an afternoon
If anyone hasn’t seen Dark City, you should immediately watch the Director’s Cut. You must watch no other cut. It is criminal that we haven’t gotten a 4K Blu Ray release.
Apparently the reason Firefly and quite a lot of other productions used it was that it was the last large set of decent quality sci-fi costume armor produced that wasn’t TOO iconic like with storm and clone troopers.
Basically immediately after Starship Troopers if you needed more a few sets you’d just do it digitally, so all the down stream productions just traded that set between them and modified it bit by bit.
Supposedly some bits and pieces are still in use but they’ve been cut down into components.

Reused set prices are fun too. You never notice any of that stuff.
The Matrix reused the rooftop sets of Dark City.

Amen to that! You can also watch the regular cut but skip ahead to the first close-up of an eye opening
I mean, I guess 🙄
That’s exactly what i was thinking of!
The alien skull being reused as wall art at the end of predator 2 is widely credited as to why those universes crossed over.
